BANKS CHARGE FEE
ON SMALL ACCOUNT

At a meeting of the Rock Island,
Moline and East Moline bankers it
was decided to levy monthly fee
of 90 cents on all commercial &C
counts which fall below the $50
mark This new ruling went into
effect yesterday.
The bankers claim that It is a
losing proposition to handle small
accounts, especially now since all
the necessary supplies needed in a
checking account have doubled in
price. The income derived from an
account of this figure is insuffici-
ent to cover the expenses which
the work inCurs.
Persons holding checking ac-
counts at the banks will receive
personal notice of this alteration of
former plans. At any time that the
account has a minimum balance Of
$50 the fee will be charged.
There are a few exceptions to the
rule. Charitable. fraternal and
church organizations coming under
this head, and individuals having
two or more commercial accounts
will not be taxed the regular fee.

and Nineteenth streets when he
was in a badly intoxicated condi-

a new one on the police.

SEVERAL TOWNS SEND
OUT DISTRESS CALLS
Tennessee Fuel Administrator Keep
ing the Wires Hot: Urges Ship
ments of Coal.

Nashville, Jan. 14.-The troubles of
the state teul administrator had null
tiplied considerably today with the in
creased number of S. 0. S. calls for
coal from various Tennessee towns,
due to the extreme weather of the past
few days. Mr.. Myer was keeping the
wires hot during the day issuing in
structions and advising Washington
authorities of the situation here.
Cyrus Garnsey, fuel administrator
of Shelby county, is now in Washing
ton aiding in the solution of the coal
problem in that city. w. E. Myer, the
Tennessee fuel administrator, has de-
cided to keep Mr.. Garnsey in Washing
ton as his personal representative in
order that he might better be able to
bring the attention of the government
authorities to necessity for quick ac-
tion on recommendation for relieving
the distress in the state. Mr.. Garnsey
will stay there until conditions here
are improved.
No administrator Of any other state,
so far as known, has placed repre-
sentative in Washington to give his
entire time and attention to the inter-
est of the state he represents. Mr.Myer
hopes to accomplish a great deal thru
Mr.. Garnsey in the way of relieving
the coal shortage here.

Brownsville merchants were in 9
peck of trouble Monday, when, fol
lowing rain, heavy drifts of snow be-
gan to melt on the roofs. Cutters be-
ing filled with ice caused the water
to accumulate and seep through the
roofing. 2
Every available man was put to
work shoveling the snow off, but be-
fore relief came many houses were
flooded and great damage was done,
amounting to thousands of dollars.
Both schools have been suspended
for the week. At the grammer school
the bursting of pipes put the heating
plant out of commission and at the
high school the building was flooded
from trouble similar to that experience
ed in the business districts. Unless
something unforeseen happens both
schools will again be opened on Mon
day morning.
The fuel situation in Brownsville has
been better than in most places. While
the supply of coal has not been normal,
there has been sufficient receipts to
prevent suffering.
The wopd-yard provided for some
time ago has never been put into op-
GRAFTON. The organization was effect
ed and something like two hundred
cords Of wood contracted for, but be-
fore delivery the extremely cold wea-
ther with q. heavy fall of snow came
and brought proceedings to a stand
still. 1t is hoped that the delivery of
wood will be made soon, however, as
wood is unusually scarce now and
much relief wdild be brought by the
opening Of this woodward.
Brownsville has never experienced
ssinore protracted and severe spell Of
weather than during the past six
weeks. The thermometer has regis
tered as low as eight or ten degrees
below zero two or three times during
this period and at no time has there
been break in the cold temperature
sufficient to bring relief. All over
town water pipes have been frozen and
the plumbers have not been able to
give much relief, and several times
their work has had to be done over
almost as soon as completed because
of another freeze.
But on Monday there was a slight
rise in temperature and rain. Then
the eight inches of snow began to
soften up and the slush was something
fierce. Automobiles were put out of
commission. Walking was well nigh
and only those who had
horses were able to travel to any ex-
tent. Monday night there was another
freeze before much of the snow dis
Farmers say that hard winter with
an abundance of snow is always fol-
lowed by splendid crops. This must be
the silver lining to the cloud.
Anyhow, it will all be over by-and-
bye.

MONEY VALUE
K. OF EDUCATION

At the request of the Federal Com
missioner of Education, DR.. A. Cas-
well Ellis, professor of the philosophy
of education, University of Texas, pre-
pared the manuscript of a pamphlet
by the bureau under the title of "The
Money Value of Education" The pur-
pose of the publication as stated in
the introduction is to give the people
an understanding of the extent to
which "the wealth and wealth produc-
ing power of any people depend on the
quantity and quality of education"
One of the features of the bulletin
are a number of charts, one of which
purports to show how education in
creases productive power:
Massachusetts gave her citizens
seven years schooling. The United
schooling. Tennessee gave hercitizens
three years schooling. Massachusetts
citizens produced per capita $3.50 per
year. Citizens of the United States
produced per capita $17O per year, and
citizens of Tennessee produced per
capita per year SIG.
In making this comparison between
the extremes here shown, Massachu-
setts and Tennessee, is it a logical
economic conclusion to make that the
difference in the producing power of
the citizens of these states is entirely
due to education? There is vast diff
ference between the industrial condi-
tions in the two states-between the
number of manufacturing establish
ments, the amount Of capital invested
and the Importance of the trade CEN
tres in Massachusetts and Tennessee.
The author confesses in his text that
it is 'very unfair" to attribute this
difference to difference in educational
systems. But the misleading thing is
that people are more likely to read the
conspicuous data of his charts and not
read his multiplying limitations.
Another chart shows that LESS than
one per cent of American men are col
lege graduates, yet this less than one
per cent has furnished 55 per cent of
the members in congress" Another
one is to the effect that with no
schooling of 5,0O0,00O,only 81 attained
distinction" while with college edu-
cation of 100000, 5,76S attained dis
tinction." Another says that in a GER
tain class of work positions demand I
ing only reading, writing and arith-
metie pay 1882, while positions de-
manding a college or technical educa-
tion pay $2,400.
We shall not quarrel with these fig
ures. But as the bulletin is directed
to the money making value Of educa-
tion it might be asked, is it true that
educated men are the greatest money
makers? Are the college and univer-
city professors, the lawyers, the doc
tors and the preachers who might be
taken to represent the educated class,
