ROCK ISLAND CONTRACTOR OBSERVES
TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS
CAREER IN THE BUILDING BUSINESS

1t was 25 years ago this month
that Henry W. Horst started as a
building contractor in Rock Island.
To commemorate this event Mr..
aud Mrs. Henry W. Horst were
pleasantly surprised at their home,
1049 Seventeenth street. by mem
bers OF their family. Dinner had
been prepared while Mr.. and Mrs.
Horst were attending church. Up
on their return home they were
seated at the table and were told
the reason for the gathering. The
events OF Joy and sorrow that had
transpired in this family circle
were reviewed with much feeling,
and as a small token of love and
loyalty and sincere endeavor the
children presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Horst with a solid silver loving cup
artiStically engraved. In present
ing the cup for the family, NJ. L.
Strieter with words that were be-
fitting and very touching, covered
some of the events of the business
and home life of the Horst family
During the afternoon Is of the
older foremen and employees and
their wives of the Henry w. Horst
company called in a group at the
Horst home, COngratulating Mr.. and
Mrs. Horst upon their anniversary.
Frank Cederburg, one OF the oldest
employees, spoke a few fitting words
and presented a large bouquet of
flowers. In doing so he recalled a
number of interesting incidents
that have happened during his en-
ploy by Mr.. Horst.
One feature of the occasion was
the depicting of a number of the
pleasant phases of Mr. Horsts' life
in caricature which had been made
by one of the true friends of Mr..
Horst

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l have
been going with a young man for
about six or seven weeks and am
fond of him. He has told me that
he loved me and asked me to wait
for him until he returned home
after the war (He has been drafted
and is expecting to be called soon.)
] have not promised, but | am GER
tain that | love him enough for
that.
A girl friend OF mine knows the
girl he has been going with for five
years, but he hasn't been with her
since last summer. My girl friend
says that when he went with her he
took her out and sent her flowers.
candy, etc She says that he still
loves the other girl and won't take
me on the street for fear she will
see him.
What shall l do? Shall l go with
him and ask him about all this, or
should l let it drop? He said that
he knew by the way I acted I had
heard something and has begged me
to tell him. What must l do?
DISTRESSED.
Since the boy has noticed that
something is wrong and has asked
you to tell him what it is, think
you should be frank and say just
what you have heard. Your girl
friend may be jealous of his love
for you. At the same time it Is
strange that he doesn't take you
places and you should have some
kind of an understanding. Do not
promise to marry him until after
the war, when you will have had
time to learn more about his char
acter.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: "a I am
a young girl of 20. I have been
going with young man of 81 for

The county is greatly interested
