the attractiveness Of the rooms. a
citizen who has shown his interest in
the local schools in more ways than
one and whose modesty prevents his
name being made known has present
ed the high school with a set of Mark
Twain's works handsomely bound in
twenty volumes. This makes an ex.
cellent addition to the high school
library and the students appreciate the
gift very highly.
The keystone views and stereo-
scopes which the Board Of Education
has put into the schools are proving to
be one of the most valuable pieces of
apparatus now in the school. The
views are valuable not only in an edu-
cational way but they lend a lasting
correct impression which makes the
work of the school intensely interest
ing as a result they are in constant de-
mand by the teacher of the school.
The district o%ratorical contest will
be held at Lake Preston about the 21st

for the division contest has not been
determined. The state contest will be
held Thursday, May 10, under the aus
pieces Of the State College.

Recently President Wilson sent an
appeal to the House leaders for greater
celebrity in action upon administration
measures now pending. The request
has born fruit as indicated by the
meeting Of the members of the House
majority held recently. A resolution
was adopted binding the House leaders
to push the administrations legisla-
tive program. The appropriation bills
carrying the necessary financial pro-
visions for national defence measures
come first in Importance; followed
next by the Legislation providing adj
ditiOnal revenue, with an anti-dump-
ing clause, and a provision for a tariff
commission. The next in the order of
their Importance are the ship purchase
bill and the rural credits measure, the
Philippines, Porto Rico, the c~onserga-
ton bills, the Mississippi river relief
measure and the corrupt practices act.
The anti-dumping measure is designed
to prevent a flooding of this country
of foreign made goods after the war in
Europe closes.

FROM GERONIMO TO VILLA

AS long ago as 1887 General Miles,
one of that group of Indian fighters
and plainsmen whose valor gave dis
tinction, if not glory, to our little army
in the years succeeding the civil war,
thought it worth while to commend
officially a young lieutenant of the
Sixth Cavalry for marching his troop,
with pack train, over rough country,
140 miles in forty-six hours, bringing
in every animal and man in good con.
dition."
The young officer-he was a second
lieutenant, only one year out of West
Point-was John J. Pershing, a native
of Missouri, who had come out the
year before. just in time to join the
operations that resulted in the round
ing up of Geronimo, the famous Apache
chief whose depredations and treach.
cry had engaged the attention of Gen
erals Crook and Miles for a period of
two years and had severely strained
the of the entire United
States Army as it was at hat time
organized.
1t will be recalled that the willy In
dian who deied the United States
Government so successfully for so long
a period had to be pursued into Mexico
over some Of the same ground now be-
ing traversed by the American expedi-
tionary force in search Of Villa, before
he could be captured. A similarity at
once suggests itself between the On
erations of 1916 in that forbidding land
AMI those of 1SS5-S7. In each instance
the ~renegades were supplied with arms
and munitions of American make, were
thoroughly familiar with the noun
famous country in which they took
refuge, were ready to stop at no act
or cold-blooded atrocity to accomplish
their immediate purpose, and were
animated by consuming hatred of their
pursuers, tinged possibly by a strain of
contempt.
We introduce this comparison mere
ly by way of showing the eminent fit
ness of having the present difficult
undertaking of our army entrusted to
the hands of one who knew intimately
the difficulties, pitfalls, and dangers
innumerable that surrounded the -x-
petition Of thirty years ago.. Said the
veteran scout, James H. Cook, who
went with the Eighth Cavalry into
Mexico In 1885. speaking of the ad-
vance of Pershing's columns into Mex.
leo last month: "The only thing that
makes the expedition look hopeful to
me Is my faith in the men who CON-
mand It." (Mr. Cook was also refer
ring here to Lieutenant Cabell, now
Chief of STAFF to General Pershing: he.
too, was on the Geronimo expedition.)
On March Is, 1916, General Pershing,
at the head Of a cavalry column far
more imposing than that which he had
commanded, as a lieutenant, twenty.
nine years before. rode across the in

This from the Squirrel Food" col
umn in a prominent daily is very much
to the point as the years go by: "a
young man has plenty Of help when he
is sowing his wild oats but when har-
vest time comes he has to reap his
crop alone" "
4 certain young man is reported to
have said in one of our business places
that a man that works is a coward. He
has an uncommon view of the purpose
of life, in fact, will bear watching. If
said in earnest, and he is trying to fol-
low out his novel views of what a man
is in the world for, he has been, is, and
will be, nothing more or less than a
parasite and the world will treat him
as such sooner or later. Some one has
fed and clothed him so far and he is
fortunate that he has not been scratch
eG off the earth. He was then waiting
for some n to do him q service Tor
pay. The money, that was to be
given for the service, if the aforesaid
young man had any, had been earned
ard given him by a coward, according
to his classification. 1t was a coward
who was to serve him and save him
from a little self-exertion. The clothes
that he was wearing, the food hat ne
ate, the places where he was accustom-
ed to loaf, were all provided Cor him
by towards. Away with such asser-
tons and have pity on the poor lacka-
daisical fellows who infer that they are
brave because they can live without
working for a living.
1t is often said that women lack in
v~entive genius. This may be true
when it comes to working along me-
chanical lines but no one will deny
that they are ingenious in the way of
devising articles of dress and other
kinds of ornamentation. For instance.
take the matter of hats. Every season
brings out new designs and it takes a
great deal of study to get up the trim
so that no two hats in the same
community are { city alike and yet
they are all sup ,sed to be in style.
Several hundred new Easter hats will
make their appearance in due time and
all will be different and the very latest
style. Think of the ingenuity of those
whose business it is to invent all the
designs and shapes and who sue
coed in disposing of most of them in
season.

Mrs. Hensley with members of the

absent from the house about an hour.
between 80 and s; 80 o'clock. When
they returned they discovered that the
house had been ransacked. Mrs.
Hensley states that she thought she

Objections to Improvement on

LONG LITIGATION IS NOW ENDED
Improvement, Which Is to Cost S94,.

BY City Authorities.

After years of agitation and many
months of litigation the widening Of
Fifth avenue, Moline, is now to be-
come a fact.
At a meeting Saturday afternoon,
participated in by officials Of the Tri-
City Railway company and members
of the Moline city council, an agree
ment was reached whereby the street
car company will withdraw its objec-
tons to the assessment levied against
It, The agreement was made in writ
ing, papers being signed at 8 o'clock,
The street car company was assess
ed approximately $4,000 for the pro-
posed improvement The utilities con-
Germ objected and took the matter
into court. Recently decision was
handed down against the street car
company.
After going into the matter officials
Of the company decided not to take an
appeal which. had the officials decided
otherwise, would have again delayed

The street car company is directly
interested in the project because it
will allow 1t to double track the ave-
nue., thus facilitating the handling OF
cars in the business district and max

this reason that prompted the COM
pany to decide not to contest the as
sessment further, it is understood.
Total cost of the improvement has
been estimated at $4,000 The city
will have to pay $16,6S1.14, This was
provided for in the appropriation ord

presented to the board.
A local newspaper scores the mem
bers of the board who urged caution
in pushing the Jail plans and intimates
that graft actuated some of the pro-
ceedings. Some of the members of the
board were of the opinion that the
county was up against serious OBJ
stacle in the litigation which had been
started, and in order not to subject
the county to unnecessary expense of
litigation it was urged by a dozen or
more members Of the board that build
ing activities be delayed until the
courts had had an opportunity to pass
on the legal objections which had been
made
Acting on the advice of attorneys
the building committee insisted upon
pushing ahead with the work despite
legal restrictions and proceeded to the
point where the country treasurer's
bondsmen refused to permit him to
pay out any more money from the Jail
building fund.
Republicans and democrats alike on
the board urged caution in the jail
matter and it was not party ques-
ton in any sense of the word and there
is no question but that the board how
ever it is controlled will be governed
by the decision of the higher courts so
far as the jail is concerned, regardless
