S|LVIS TO VOTE
ON BOND ISSUES
Two Propositions, One to Build CITY
Hall and the Other to Enlarge
School, VIII be Decided,

Voters of Silvis will be given oppor-
tuhity TO vote on two bond PROPOSE
tons this spring-one for erection of
a new municipal building and the
other to provide for an addition to the
Mckinley school building, which is
now declared to be inadequate to pres
ent needs.
SiiVls has no building which might
be designated as city hall at present
and there has been considerable senti-
ment in favor of the new building
among voters of the city during the
last year, since the new administra-
ton assumed charge. The building in
which the council holds its semi
monthly meeting is one-story, frame
structure, which was originally used
as a store building. 1t is also head
quarters for the fire and police de-
partments
1t is proposed to have the new build
ing, if bonds are voted, large enough
to house both police and fire depart-
ments, and furnish municipal offices
for some time to come Probabilities
are that it will be erected on the lot
next to the reservoir, which was pro-
vided late last summer. Plans to i'm
prove the Mckinley school building
come as result of action of the school
board.
At the semi-monthly meeting Of the
village board last evening, W. E. Hop
son, who served as marshal under for
mer administrations, was appointed
village marshal, while Fred ]. Ball was
made night patrolman. These changes
are occasioned by the recent resigna-
ton of Marshal Mccullough. Confirm
ing of the appointment was only bust
ness of importance during the short
session of the board

Work Reduced to Science.

Raising S125,000 for such an insti-
tuition as st. Luke's hospital in cities
like Moline, Rock Island and Daven-
port is not at all formidable under
taking" said Miss Eye. 1.-The direc-
ton of such movements has been re-
duced almost to an exact science. Of
course, an undertaking of this kind
could not succeed if were attempted
along ordinary lines. 1t is because we
shall follow the plan originated by Mr..
Barber that success may be expected.
Mr. BARRIERS methods thorough, COM
prehensive and wei balanced. 1t is
the result of years Of experience in the
field of philanthropic finance and, al
though we have many imitators, our
plan is the onl, one that achieves a
consistent measure of success in all
parts of the UIited States. We have
raised large fluids in every part Of the
country from coast to coast, from Can
ada to the gull We succeed because
we adhere strictly to method that
spells success and are careful to avoid
all waste molten and haphazard effort.
"The ST. LMe's hospital campaign,
so far as the public is concerned, will
last only 10 business days. But that
short period will be the climax of sew
eral weeks OF the most painstaking
preparatory work. A movement of
| this kind is like a military campaign.
| To insure success We must win our
victory before the first battle is be-
gun. We do this by the care with
which we build up strong, compact,
prominent and highly efficient organ
ization of volunteer workers; by the
minute attention which we give to the
preparation Of our card index system,
and by the campaign of education
which We carry on through the cour-
tesy of the newspapers in advance OF
