ALEDO AT A GLANCE
Daily Doings in Mercer County's Busy Capital
Now Time Card Adnnfed.

The city council has of late author
lied the street committee to have print
ed weekly and monthly time cards. for
use by the street laborers. The week
" card has a space for each day be-
meath each are spaces for designating
the kind of weather, the hours worked,
the kind of work performed. 1t is to
be the duty of each individual laborer
of the street department to fill out one
of these cards each day and to hand
the card in each week. The head of
the street department will, under this
newly adopted plan, in addition to
handing in a general report each month
at the meeting of the city council, be
required to keep a monthly report for
each man, similar to those weekly ones
kept by the workmen themselves. In
this way the reports of the men may be
compared with the report of their chief
at the end of each month. 1t is thought
that this method will prove very much
more satisfactory than the lax one
which is now being done away with.
Heretofore street work has always
been designated street work, whatever
it's nature Under this new system
each phase-Sewer, paving, grading,
etC.-are to be designated separately.

Portugal has been acclaimed as the

asked, wrote the earl of Carnarvon
after visiting that country in 1877
what society had reached the most
polished form, l should say that OF

The city council has authorized the
light committee to have placed at the
corner of Fifth and Poplar streets, a
street light Of the same capacity as
all others. This corner, which is in
the west part of the city near the oil
tanks, is very dark place at night and
as anyone driving west must turn at
the oil tanks and cross the C. B. and Q.
tracks to get on the main country
road, it was thought advisable to place
a light there.

The scenic beauties of Canada from
Nova Scotia to British Columbia and
from the Georgian Bay country to the
Yukon will be filmed by several squads
of Essanay camera men during the
summer months.
Great preparations are being made
for the Yukon pictures. Animal life
in this great north country will be
given as much attention as scenic
studies and the camera staff has or
ders to get a series which will show
how polar bears live. So thorough
will be the canvass of this country for
appropriate scenery and animal studies
that the party is not expected to re-
turn until late in August or September
The photographers will work west
ward to Vancouver through the Cana
dian Rockies and then take boat for
the north country, making a long snow
trip inland and later working north by
dog sledge to the habitat of the polar
bear, the walrus and seal.

Beats Wife and Is Sentenced.-Joh
Travinisk, 1922 Brady street, was Civ
en- 30-day jail sentence by Magistrate
/ ClausSen on a charge of beating his
wife. Mrs. Travinisk appeared against
the man. The police claim that the
arrest was the second on the same
| ed, they claim, he had a gun, and
| threatened to kill his wife and chill
dren. The trouble, according to the
police, started when Mrs. Travinisk
preached the subject of sending their
children to some home where they
l could be well cared for. This brought
| forth storm of abuse from the hus-
band, according TO the police, and he
struck his wife and threatened to kill
the children before he would let them
be taken away. Mrs. Travinick and
her children appeared at the station
| yesterday morning The trial, because
Of the crying children and the sobbing

come across with the license fee de-
manded by the state of all automobile
owners. County Attorney Henry Jeb-
ems has received the list of delinquents
and anybody who has failed to pay
their license fee and receives some Of
Henry's stationery, needn't be sur
prlsed at request to see him about
the affair. After the names have been
checked over, the list will be published
in order to see who is delinquent and
who is not The average license fee of
the machines is somewhat over Sc, thus
making the tax list owed the state
amount to 5000 and more, worth while
lighting for, the state thinks. With
close to 5000 machines in Davenport
and the rest of the county, this strikes
very good average, meaning that but
one OF IA fail TO pay their feet on
time. SO many people have failed to
pay their taxes, merely letting their
Old number fee lapse Internationally.
Commencing July Is, the state will
commence to enforce the law with re-
gard to running machines without IL
cense on both front and back of the
machine. All those who have failed to
pay their licenses after the first OF
June will have to pay a fine of 20 per
cent when they take out their licenses.
After June /, penalty of per cent
additional is charged besides the 20
per cent fine.

The machine of DR.. A. p. Donohoe was
damaged when a man driving a Ford
machine at a reckless rate of speed
dashed into his machine at Third and
Iowa streets. The tenders were dam
aged, otherwise the machine is in fair
ly good shape. AS soon as the driver
Of the Ford found out that his machine
would work, he turned on full speed
and drove away without first ascer-
tanning whether any Of the occupants
of the other car were injured. This
is a criminal offense and the owner of
the machine is liable for prosecution
as his number was secured by bystand-
