MISS HINRICHSEN

Inspector for State Charities Commits
sion is Impressed with Local Tu-
bercuIOsis Institution.
NONE FINER IN ALL THE STATE
Held Intensely Interesting Place Be-
cause So Much Has Been Done
With So Little Money.

Miss Annie Hinrichsen, inspector Of
institutions for the state charities
commission, paid a visit to the city
sanatorium at Seventeenth and Brasil
er streets yesterday. She was enthusi-
astic over the new institution erected
there and praised the local medical
commission for the thorough manner
in which the sanatorium is being plan
ned and laid out
Miss Hinrichsen stated that Rock
Island was one of the first cities in
Illinois to build a city sanatorium,
others outside of Chicago being Rock
ford, BellevilIe and Jacksonville. At
Rockford a new building has been
erected. However, in many other cit
les, she said, the one-mill tax had been
voted, but the actual work of building
sanatoriums had not been started
Only two counties, Rock Island and
Morgan, will vote on the county prop
osition this fall.
Ideally Located.
"'The Rock Island city sanatorfum is
one Of the most modern in the state"
said Miss Hinrichsen, land it is most
ideally located. Indeed, I know of no
other institution with the facilities for
fruit and vegetables and arrangements
for cattle to furnish fresh milk that
you have here. 1t is a most interest
ing place, because of the great things
accomplished with so little money, and
the care used in planning the institu-
ton"
Miss Hinrichsen is in Moline today,
examining the police records there for
criminal statistics. She expects to
complete her work here tomorrow.

Tabernacle Well Started.

The erection of the large tabernacle
to be used during the Newlin evange-
listtc meetings was begun yesterday
upon the lots north of the United
Presbyterian church and before the
close OF the day a credible showing
had been made in the building work
Work upon the building did not be-
gin until 8 o'clock, but the men moved
swiftly after the commencement be-
cause of the object in view, that of
completing the tabernacle in two days
From the showing made yesterday, it
looks very much as though this feat
will be accomplished. The framework
was completed yesterday this being
the most tedious part of the work, and
a great share of the roof and siding
boards were set in place. 1t is expected
that by the close of today the edifice
will have been practically completed.
At the start of work yesterday the re-
naming roof and siding boards re-
manned to be nailed in place, the roof
ing paper to be nailed upon It, the
platform to be erected, and the seats
to be installed. A number of the
workmen were busy building seats
yesterday. The ladies of the churches
served dinner to about So of the work
men, the meal being served in the din
ing room of the United Presbyterian
church. The ladies also served a 8
o'clock luncheon to the workmen dur
ing the afternoon. Today they will
again serve dinner to the men. The
tabernacle is to be 100 by 72 feet in
dimensions. Seats to accommodate
800 are TO be installed. Three doors
leading into the front, one on the left
side near the front and another on the
right side near the rostrum. The struc-
&c hot
stable manner than the specifications
call for, so that all will be perfectly
safe TO attend any and all meetings
during the month.

If your neighbor offered you a ten
dollar bill for a dollar, and you knew
it to be perfectly good money, you
break all sorts of speed records to
grab it. So would we.
In the subscription price of The
Pleasantville Press we are offering
you just that-ten dollars for one.
For every dollar you spend for this
paper you are receiving at least ten
dollars worth of valuable information.
In many cases the information it
sends out to you is worth vastly more
to you.
Keep this fact in mind, and if you
happen to owe us a dollar or two just
remember that we have earned it ten
times overland we ought to have it
without the asking.
Doesn't this appeal to you as being
just about the truth?

TRUE lNWARDNESS OF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the Spring Of 1914, occur
red the capture Of Vera Cruz.
Men from n Of our ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology. But our Admiral do
manded q salute, which was re-
fused. Thereupon the President
went to Congress, asking NJ
thority 10 s the armed forces
of the United States. Without
waiting for the passage Of the
resolution, Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. 1t appeared that a shipload
Of ammunition for Huerta was
about 10 enter that port. There
was q natural opposition to this
invasion and a battle occurred
in which nineteen Americans
and over q hundred Mexicans
were killed. This, of course,
was war. Our dead soldiers
were praised for dying like
heroes in a wal of service.
Later, we retired from Vera
Cruz, giving up this noble war
fare. We had not obtained the
salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained repara-
ton for affronts. The ship with
ammunition which could not
land at Vera Cruz had soon
landed at another port, and its
cargo was delivered to Huerta
without interference. Recently
the naked truth was admitted
by a Cabinet officer. We r
now informed that 1--WE did not
go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta
to salute the flag" We are
told that we went there ito
show Mexico that we we're in
earnest in our demand that
Huerta must CO." That is, we
seized Vera Cruz to depose
Huerta. The question of the
salute was a mere pretext.-
