BEACH rs
READY FOR KIDDIES

With the work completed on the
snail bathing beach at Sylvan park,
for which Beder Wood generously dom
ated the sand, rules for the play
grounds children are now announced
and are to be strictly adhered to that
accidents may be avoided.
All children may go into the water
any time from 10 to 1880 a. m. and
from to in the afternoon, during
which hours the beach and play
grounds will be properly supervised.
1t is desired that no children be al
lowed to use the beach after 6 p. M,
at which time the playground children
are sent home, and after that time
they should be accompanied by their
parents. Any child disobeying the
rules will be prohibited from using
the beach for two days.
A place has been arranged in which
the boys may get their bathing suits
and a tent is to be erected for the
girls, with a woman in charge. One of
the girl supervisors will be in charge
of the bathing beach during the hours
that it is open, while the other super
visor will supervise the apparatus
play. There will always be a man sup
erviSor on the grounds.
The beach will accommodate a large
number of children but it is hoped that
in the future the city may see fit to
make a large bathing beach there for
both young and old.

A GOOD FRIEND

A good friend stands by you when
in need. Rock Island people tell how
Doans Kidney Pills have stood tho
test. Mr.. Beselin endorsed Doan's
over six years ago and again CONN ms
the story. Could you ask for more
convincing testimony?
P. c. Beselin, 1924 Fifth avenue,
Rock Island, says: II have to do
heavy lifting at times and my work
is hard. / think this is what brought
on kidney trouble. The chief ailment
was backache and pains in my sides.
My kidneys didn't act as they should
and the kidney secretions were highly
colored. | finally got box of Doan's
Kidney Pills at the Harper House
pharmacy and they freed me from the
backache and regulated the action of
my kidneys" Statement given April
8, 1909
Still Using Dean's.
On Jan. 5. 1915, Mr.. Beselin said:
Whenever | h7Ye an attack of kid
ney trouble, d. 10 colds, always use
Doan's Kidnsy Pills, and they give
quick reli l am in the best of
health tCuay and give Doan's Kidney
Pills a. the credit

simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

HOMAGE is PAID
To COX PIONEERS
Descendants of Couple Who In 1872
Settled on Campbelrs Island To-
day Open Their Reunion.
DAY SPENT ON HISTORIC SPOT
Program of Races Is Enjoyed by the
Children-Business Session Held
i'm the Afternoon.

Today marked the opening at Camp
bells island of the Cox's annual re-
union, a gathering of descendants OF
Joseph and Maria Cox. Members Of
the family have made it custom to
gather together each year to pay hon.
age TO their ancestors.
The crowd-150 strong-came to the
island before noon. They carried pic
mic baskets on their arms Their
hearts were light and in their minds
were memories of the couple to whom
they were paying reverence.
1t was in 1912 that Joseph and Maria
Cox came to Campbell's island They
were poor and they met with many
difficulties. They built themselves a
little cabin. They hunted and fished,
for in those days game was plentiful.
Children Give Cheer.
Joseph and Maria Cox had children,
and their children had children, so
that when old age came upon them,
there were stalwart sons and willing
daughters to help them and darling
children to cheer their declining years.
When the old people passed away,
their descendants became scattered all
over the country.
Finally one of them conceived the
idea that it would be hitting tribute
to their forefathers to gather at
Campbell's island, near the scene of
their struggles, there to commemorate
the lives of Joseph and Maria Cox. Let
tiers were exchanged with the result
that one day a crowd of the family
members assembled. Some of them
had prospered, others were less fortu-
nate. But all bore in their hearts the
memories of their parents and their
tribulations.
The meeting was a great success and
the following year found the people
together again. This time they formed
a regular organization. Officers were
elected and the gathering became an
annual affair.
Up to last year cottage was rented
so that those who wished to remain
at the island to camp might do so, but
it was found that most of the visitors
preferred to stay with their relatives
in the tri-cities. Last year, therefore,
this custom was discontinued.
Seated at Feast
At noon today several long tables
were placed end to end, and the crowd
sat down to the dinner prepared by

Ask $40 n Pound for DYES.

New York, Aug. "a circular is
sued here today by a dye importing
firm quoting prices on dyestuffs
brought to this country by the German
submarine Deutschland shows that
some grades of the product are val
ued at $40 pound. These are the
rarer colors not yet manufactured in
the United States
Local dye importers expected to re-
ceive their first shipments today from
the cargo of the undersea merchant
men. None of these colors would be
placed in the open market, they indi-
Gated but would be supplied at once
to regular customers. largely to meet
the needs of mills.

MOLINE BOOSTERS
ALL IN ONE CLUB
Consolidated Commercial Organization
Becomes Reality When Bylaws
Are Approved.
NO VOICE RAISED IN DISSENT
Propose a One-Day Campaign for In
creasing Membership Before
the Election Is Held.

With the adoption of new bylaws at
the meeting in the Commercial cluD
rooms last evening. Moline's reorgan-
lied, consolidated Commercial club, IN
Guiding all other booster clubs, De
came a reality. 1t was also moved
that a citizens committee be appoint
ed by the chairman with power TO car
nv on the work of reorganization till
election Of directors.
Final steps in the formation OF the
new working body for the promotion
of all that is best for the welfare OF
the city, were unhindered by any dis
senting votes. There was no hint OF
any opposition whatever. Upon mo-
ton of Beder Wood the bylaws were
adopted without reading, copies having
been studied by all members present,
and this was followed Immediately by
the motion of Max Sklovsky that the
committee be appointed by the chair
to carry on work till the directors are
elected. Both carried by unanimous
votes
Concurrent with formation of the
temporary organization Incorporating
all of the old Moline booster bodies,
including the G. M. c., came the an
nouncement of a free-for-all, one-day
campaign for boosting the member
ship still more before the election of
directors and the waving of the 90
day clause in the contract with the city
development bureau of Chicago by
representatives of that body. This
means that the Chicago bureau n
charge of details of the big consol4da-
ton work here, will receive a. 10 per
cent commission on the memberships
received to date, instead of on all re
ceived from commencement of the
campaign to a date 80 days in the fu-
ture-to be specific commissions will
be paid on 644 memberships at the
rate of Is per cent
Have Whirlwind Campaign.
A meeting of the original committee
with H. A. Jansen as it's head, was
called for today, when plans for the
free-for-all campaign will be formulat-
ed. All prospects who have not hith-
ertO joined the movement will be
urged to become affiliated with the
club, systematic canvass being
planned as preliminary to the cam
paign.
A special request was made by H.
A. Jansen last evening that all who
have Joined the new club send in
blanks stating with which classified
ton of the bureaus he cares to be-
come affiliated. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary that these be returned at once if
the work is to be carried on as
planned. Mr.. Jansen also emphasized
the fact, however, that signing of the
first blank and a designation of mem
bership in some bureau, is not final,
as changes can be made from time to
time.
w. J. Ball presided over the meet
ing last evening and Gene Taylor
acted as secretary. Committee to have
charge till permanent organization is
formed will be appointed by the chair
in the immediate future
