An address along the lines OF COM
munity commercial boosting will be
given by M. J. Duryea, secretary Of
the Moline Commercial club, next
Monday evening before the Civic club
of Kewanee. The club is being reor-
ganized. -

a thumb impression. Three of them
are furnished. by Uncle Sam for each
man in the submarine service, one TO
be kept by the individual, one for rel
atives and the third for the depart
ment at Washington.
The probabilities are that the Mo-
line club will be closed until O'Clock
Monday afternoons. The question of
closing all day was considered by the
directors. but with so many men idle
it is felt that the club would be doing
a bigger service by keeping open in
the afternoon at least while the coal
supply holds out.
