GO TO CHURCH ON
SUNDAY AND STOP
NOISE OF MOTORS

Too many Moline people burn up
the paving in their motors on Sun
day morning instead of going to
church.
This is the opinion of Commits
sioner A. c. Stouffer.
They ought to go slower when
they pass a church, said Mr.. Stout
fer, and there is no reason why
they should have their mufflers or
cut outs open.
1t isn't necessary for them to
stop drying on Sunday morning,
but l think they can be more care
full when they pass churches
The commissioner appears to be-
lieve that people who spend an
hour or two in church on Sunday
deserve to have their presence there
respected and deserve also a little
quiet and rest.

WEEKLY PROVISION

Chicago, May 18.-Big setbacks
in the price OF corn have resulted
this week largely from food admin

peace discussion in the British
house of commons. Compared with

ing were 3 Sac net lower TO 1-SC
advance. In oats the net changes
varied from Use loss to SAC gain.
Provisions showed declines of g. a
$40.
Congestion in May delivery
brought about an irregular market
in oats. Timely rains in Nebraska
and Kansas gave some advantage
though. to the bears.
