A new billboard ordinance was
introduced to the Moline city COM
mission at its meeting yesterday.
This is the third ordinance propos-
ing to regulate the billboard NUS

NOT ALL GLOOM IN
THE u. S. HOSPITALS

With the American Army in
France.-The laugh and the joke
and the prank are not absent from
the American military hospitals.
There is suffering, of course, in
these great, sp1endidly equipped
institutions, but even the shrapnel
loaded American soldier has his
fun. Our surgeon tells this story:
When the lines of stretcher cases
were being brought into his hospi-
tai the surgeons stood in the re-
ception ward making quick exam
nations One stretcher was
brought silently in, the form of a
soldier lying rigid under blankets
drawn over the head This is the
sad sign of one who needs no more
help. They motioned the bearers
to set it aside in a corner and when
the last wounded man had been
looked over the surgeons reverent-
ly lifted the blanket from the face.
The dead" man sat suddenly up
with a loud boo" Then the case"
laughed, lay down and again drew
the blanket over his face. They
let him play his joke on others for
q while, then sent him to a ward
to have some machine gun bullets
picked out.
DO you suffer very much, lad
die" asked a nurse Of a soldier
who lay in his cot with white face
and tight lips in an American field
hospital.
NO, Miss, oh no." was the shaky
reply, We marines don't suffer,
you know"

tories in Iowa and Illinois may be
supervised through the central

PERSEVERANCE RED CROSS IS
 GREAT SUCCESS

The Red Cross rally at the Per severance mine last night was filled and overflowing with patriotism which spirit has now become habit with the residents of that mountain city. Two special trains were TUT from Thane to Perseverance to ac commodate those who made the tril from Juneau and other Gastineal Channel cities. The first party lef Thane at four o'clock which gave them time to visit portions of the mine and other points in and abou the interesting city, before dinner wa' served. Although Hooverized in ac- cordance with the strictest rules all felt they had gained several pounds when they had finished the well prepared and bountiful supper
 Between supper and seven o'clock when the moving picture show be gan, the visitors engaged in differ ent games in which certain small penalties were assessed, all proceeds going to the Red Cross fund. At StNeH U ClOCh LllC oCtOlu Poity oi visitors arrived from Juneau and Thane, having partaken of their din ner in Thane.
 Three most interesting reels were run during the moving picture show. The Weekly film was especially ell ioyed, picturing as it did the pres ent day leaders in the great worlds war The house rang with cheers as the famous war heroes appeared upon the screen. During the inter mission M. S. Whittier, one of the Government Four Minute men, spoke interestingly on Red Cross work. He spoke especially of the manner in which the Perseverance people had gone lover the top" on all war con tributions and felt that he did not have to make any appeal to such an audience. His rehearsal of the sui ferngs of the children in the stricken countries made a deep impression upon the audience.
 Following the address the Juneau Quartette consisting of Messrs. Bish- op, Dwyer. Harlan and Snow rem dered several popular war songs, which were heartily received by the ludience. Oyer $1,5OO has already been raised by the Perseverance peo- Dle in this drive. An effort will be made by them to capture the Presi- dents Wool contest. which is being handled by MT. Tolch.

BUY WASH GOODS NOW!!
We Firmly Believe Every Piece of Wash Goods on Our Shelves Will Cost More

The law of supply and demand is the cause for the statement made above. Until the war broke out, cottons were not so much Tn use during the winter months-woolens having first call During the past season, however with the Government appealing for the con servation of wool, women periodically took to the less necessary of the two. So that the supply for the summer months to come will be less than heretofore Supply less, price more That is the invariable result of the law of supply and demand.
 In view of the very logical arguments above, we not only suggest to our customers, but urge them that they buy their wash materials now for Summer and Spring cotton frocks and have them on hand. You'll thank us for the advice later on.
