THREE OVER NINETY
IN A FAMILY BALLOT

Three members of one family, a
brother and two sisters, each more
than 80 years old, cast their ballots in
the wet and dry election in Moline
Tuesday of this week In no other
city in the state. as far as can be as
certained, has there been a parallel
case.
Deacon A. NJ Hubbard, now past
his 9th milestone and voter for
more than three-quarters of CEN
fury, was Moline's oldest citizen to ex-
ercise right of franchise Deacon
Hubbard is also the oldest living res
ident of Moline His sister, Mrs. Maria
Dimock, is more than 50 years old.
Miss Cornelia f. Hubbard is several
years younger than her brother. This
was second time the women had cast
their ballots.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-04-06

Deacon Hubbard has voted at all
elections possible since he became of
age. rs years ago. He has lived in
Moline since this citys infancy, his
home now being at 1920 Seventh ave
nue., where he resides with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Georgia Fowler Mrs. Dim
ock and her sister live with the for
mer's daughter, Mrs. f. II. Sleight.
Deacon Hubbard came to this vicin-
ity in a wagon from the east when he
was still young man. His memory
of events of so years ago or more is
wonderfully accurate.
Mrs. Dimock is the oldest charter
member of the First Congregational
church. She has always taken an &C.
tive interest in municipal and nation
al affairs and 1t was with keen
pleasure that she expressed her views
on the liquor question and named her
choices for township officers last
Tuesday.

portions. II Is to be desired. therefore.
that the same methods o. efficiency
which will be responsible for the re.
birth OF Europe should be applied in this
country in dealing with the all important
problem Of immigration. Our policy in
the past has been siftply to receive
those whom the Law permits TO enter,
but no machinery was built for their
distribution and assimilation, and no
real attempt was mad to direct them
into industries where their labor Is
needed. or to send them to farms, where
they would prove a valuable asset In the
cultivation OF the land. Just as disor-
ganization OF the labor market results
In an unemployment problem. ~ the
lack Of system in distributing immi-
grants has resulted in congestion and
other evils.

those who assert tina without a large
