NEW NATIONAL HYMN

My country, It's. of thee,
Land where things used to be
So cheap, we sing.
Land where folks once could buy
Things that are now so high;
To thee, with many sigh;
Our memories cling.
Some Of the people swear
That all they eat and wear
Takes all their wad.
Others avow that they
Now eat but once day,
And for that cannot pay,
So help them, God.
Thy peoples humble plea
Is that Thou now wilt free
At least one leg.
On flesh of beef and swine,
We do not ask to dine
But give us, Lord divine,
One good, fresh egg.
Our fathers land, with thee,
Blest home Of Liberty,
We choose to stop.
We don't exactly like,
So sem to henceward hike,
But we must hit the pike
If things don't drop.

IN MONTH OF MAY
Infant Welfare Week TO Lead Up to
Festival Under Auspices OF
Visiting Nurses.

II plans do not miscarry, baby well
fare week as now being observed will
lead to a baby show to be given in the
city under the direction of the Visit
ing Nurse association some time dur
ing the middle of May So great has
been the general interest in baby week
that the organization under whose di-
rection the local observance is being
given has decided to work toward this
end. Such a show was held in this
ed success, good sized sum being
added to the treasury of the society
under whose direction it was given.
The first local observance of baby
week was held yesterday at the Yves,
End Settlement, when more than 40
babies and their mothers, together
with an interested public, filled the
auditorium of the settlement building
ranged by the West End Settlement
and the Visiting Nurse association
DR.. Emily Wright. who was to have
spoken to the mothers, was unavoid-
ably detained, and in her stead DR..
Phoebe Pearsall Of Moline gave a most
excellent talk, telling of those things
that should be known by every mother
in the care of her children as well as
herself-with better mothers, better
babies, better city, as slogan. Miss
Hattie Larkin favored with a number
of vocal selections, and Mrs Faye
Hough- Mccarthy delighted with sew
eral Rotations, being repeatedly re-
called. Miss Heimbeck gave a piano
number that proved most enjoyable.
But the most interesting. part Of all
was that in which the babies figured.
DR.. Anna n. Brown Of Davenport, with
the dearest of babies, showed the
proper way TO give baby bath and
to dress it, the little one submitting
to the ordeal with the greatest OF
pleasure evidently. for 1t cooed and
laughed and was not once afraid.
Then the babies were weighed, 20 of
them, DR. A. n. Mueller giving the
mothers such advice as he felt they
needed in the care of their babies,

much interested in the gain of their
offspring and are clearly disappointed

should make The babies are as a rule

clearly the careful care given them
under the direction of the baby well

PRICES CLOSE ON
PAVING CONTRACT
Five Companies Submit Proposals,
Varying Little, for Improvement
OF FOrty-FOurth Street.

Competition is becoming more keen
between firms bidding for public i'm
proVement jobs in Rock Island, accord
ing to members of the board of local
Improvement, who today opened offers
on the Forty-fourth street paving prof.
ect.
Five concerns submitted bids. The
Mccarthy Improvement company was
lowest, and accordingly was given the
contract. The D. E. Keller company s
bid was only s4S.65 higher than the
successful firm. The Independent Con-
struction company, Tri-City Construc-
ton company and the E. A Lord Con-
struction company submitted bids close
to that of the Mccarthy company.
Following is the bid of the Mccarthy
company.
Brick-S2.10 per square yard.
Excavation-35c per cubic yard.
Concrete curb-43c per foot
15-inch drain tile-75c per foot
Catch basins-$35 each.
The Keller company offered the
brick paving for s2O9 per square yard
l cent cheaper than the Mccarthy COM
pany, but the Mccarthy company was
| lower on other items and the board fig
ured the prices for the entire job OF
both concerns and found the Keller
firm to be S4S65 higher than the other
The estimated cost of the project is
$4,000. The stretch to be paved lies

ASK CITIZENS TO
TRIM TREES SOON
Commissioner Juhl Calls Attention of
Rock Island Public to Ordinance
on Cutting Branches.

Commissioner Juhl and municipal
authorities are today calling the at
tention of the Rock Island public to
the ordinance relating to the trimming
of trees. Believing that it is timely,
they are asking property owners to in
spect the trees on the boulevards to
see that they conform with the ordi-
nances.
Following is the ordinance dealing
with trimming trees:
That it shall be necessary for ev-
cry person, having in charge any tree
upon any street or avenue in the city
of Rock Island, or any tree which ex-
tends over on any street or avenue, to
remove all branches which are less
than u feet from the ground; and fur
Their that all trees shall be trimmed so
as not to obscure or obstruct the city
lights along the streets and avenues
of said city.
Penalty: Whoever violates any of
the provisions of this chapter, where a
penalty is not specially provided here
in, for such violation, shall be subject
to fine of not less than $500, nor
more than $500 for each offense"
Branches should be cut now where
necessary" Commissioner Juhl said.
The sap is still in the roots and the
trimming can be done now without in
jury to the tree. After the sap runs,
the life is impaired.
I'VE expect TO enforce this ordi-
nance to the letter. There are many
places in the city where the branches
overhang the, streets and sidewalks. so
low that passing automobiles strike
them. The beauty of a street is in
creased where the branches are uni
form in heighth from the ground
