CARRIAGE MAKERS

This is called the horsciess age. Yet the last census figures show an annual production of 1,1s1,oOo horse drawn vehicles; of these b5S,400 arc buggies, mostly used for pleasure purposes and light business The carriage makers, far from giving up the ghost, have just announced their 44th annual convention at Cincinnati next month.
 Theoretically a cheap automobile is as inexpensive as a horse and car- riage. 1t certainly is if the horse is a fair roader, is well fed. and if carriages are maintained in good or-

offers much better prices than he
could get in Keithsburg. He sold the
produce, and got lots of money for it.
Then he celebrated. He was picked
up yesterday in the west end of town

charge of disorderly conduct.

TRI-CITY MAYORS

FORM COMMITTEE on PAGEANT
VIII Invite Distinguished Men of
Country to Attend Fort ARM

Mayors of Rock Island. Moline and
Davenport are to be delegated the
privilege Of inviting to the tri-cities
the distinguished men of the country
for the Fort Armstrong celebration in
June.
Mayor John Berwald of Davenport.
Mayor Martin Carlson of Moline and
Mayor William McConochie of Rock
Island met in the Rock Island city hall
this afternoon with George d. Benson,
director of the pageant, at which time
a discussion was held relative to the
plans for extending invitations to
noted men.
Plans have been tentatively agreed
upon to invite President Woodrow
Wilson. Josephus Daniels, secretary of
the navy, Newton d. Baker, secretary
of war, other members of the cabinet
and Washington officials. Governors
Dunno of Illinois and Clarke OF
Iowa will also be asked TO attend,
while members of the house and SEN
ate in Washington, and legislators in
the Illinois and Iowa general assem-
blies will be asked to come.
The fact that the mayors of the
three cities will form the committee
TO invite the distinguished men 1t is
thought will add considerable weight
10 the invitation.
Convenient to Attend.
How many of the noted men will
accept cannot be estimated at the
present time. Whether or not Presi-
dent Wilson or any members Of his
cabinet will be here is not known, but
it is thought that most of the officials
in the middle west will be able TO be
here. as the event will occur at time
when they likely will be at more leis-
ure than at any other season Of the
year.

agricultural college at Honolulu, which
in turn would do much towards in
creasing the agricultural prosperity of
the islands
3. Such series of groups of small
diversified farms would greatly sim
plify the problem of LEGAL production
Of foodstuffs sufficient to supply all
local needs. This is of great econo-
mic and strategic importance.

fled industries would tend to
overcome the present dependence of
the Hawaiian Islands on one or two

the prosperity IF the islands.
upholds Dignity of Labor
Another relation which the !. 5. ex-
pertinent station bears to the agri-
culture of the islands, while somewhat
less tangible, is nevertheless consid-
cred to be vitality important. This
is the upholding of the dignity of
labor Tor even the whitest of white
hands. We preach a balanced ration
for our livestock, but we need it in
our own meals as we'll We also need
to balance up our education with a
liberal amount OF the knowledge of
how to do the practical things of life
most efficiently. It is felt that no race
can long survive if it is too far re-
moved from the. soil. There exists no
better training for young America than
that which comes from doing the
chores on an ordinary small farm, as
sisting in all phases of farm work and
in looking forward some day to the
ownership of farm where another
family such as constitute the back
bone of any civilized country may be
reared under surroundings conducive
the development of character and good
citizenship. Cities have their places,
but new country blood is needed or
civilization win rot without this in
fusion of this new blood. To bring
such Conditions about we must have
small farms and lots of them. The
conditions on these farms must be
such as to render it possible for the
right kind of people to live off these
farms. The solving of agricultural
problems is one phase of this work.
Any improvement in the agricultural
condition of Hawaii brings us one step
nearer the above ends. The u S.
