FORMER TEACHER
AT HIGH SCHOOL
NOW LIEUTENANT

c. Howard Ross, former instruc-
tor Of science in the Moline higa
school. has been awarded a COM
mission as lieutenant IN the Medi-
cal corps of the United States army,
according to word received by
friends in tho Plow City,
Last fall Lieutenant Ross several
times attempted to enter the serv-
ice, but did not meet with success.
Later, however. he was accepted
for service in the medical corps,
and since has been stationed at
Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. After a few
months as a private he was ad
yanced to the rank of sergeant
major, the topmost pinnacle in the
non-commissione ranks. He
writes that his new address will
be ~. S. Base hospital 81, A. E.
F." and this would seem to indi-
cate that he soon will sail for the
scene OF action.
Lieutenant Ross, it will be re-
membered, is the one who created
the agitation for betterment Of con-
ditions at the Moline isolation hos
pital, where he was confined for
some time with smallpox. BY a
series Of appeals to the city com
mission he finally effected a gen.
eral cleanup at the institution,
which has been a boon to all pa
tients since confined there.

WOUNDED BY HUN
WILLARD HILL Is
SENT BACK HOME

+ After having been wounded III
the leg while flying above the Ger
man lines in France, Lieutenant
Willard D. Hill, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sullivan Hill, former Molin-
ers, now living in Cleburn. Texas.
is on his way back to the Un1te1
States with the injured limb in a
plaster cast.
Word to this effect has reached
friends and relatives in Moline. as
well as a story of his pluck and
bravery under fire and at the time
that he incurred the wound Lieu
tenant Hill, a flyer in the United
States overseas aviation service, is
said to have been directly above
the Boche lines when he was
struck by a shell. He momentar-
lily lost control of the machine, but
managed to proceed in the direc-
ton of his own lines and was final
" rescued by French officers. For
many hours he was unconscious
and surgeons had slight hope for
his recovery. Now he is on
crutches and his entire leg in the
cast. 1t is thought. however, thar
he will regain its use, but proba-
Hbly will never be able to fly
again.
Lieutenant Hill was one of the
first to offer his services to, his
country, and from Cornell univer-
sity, where he had been study
ing, went to an aviation ground
school. His flying training he had
in France. He soon became known
for his absolute disregard for DAN
ger and made many daring flights
over the German lines. He says
he is returning home so l can get
back there again, for I'm going
over as soon as l can"
Mrs Hill is now in Michillinda,
Mich, but it is probable that he
will be taken to a hospital near
the home at Cleburn.

MAY CHARGE TO
REMOvEREFUSE
Disposal of Garbage 20 Farmers

pany Entitled To It

a warning given out this morn
ing by Commissioner A. c. Stout
fer of Moline states that unless
proprietors of restaurants, cafes
and hotels Immediately discontinue
selling or giving clean garbage to
farmers. the city will be compelled
to impose a fee for the removal and
disposal of rubbish, ashes and tin
cans. Orders were given to the po-
lice to advise every such proprietor
of the mandate.
According to information which
las been secured, farmers living in
the surrounding rural community
are in the habit of coming to Mo
line early in the morning and cart
ing away large quantities of clean
garbage to feed to their pigs. in
many cases the farmers are payin g
for the garbage.
The Tri-City Disposal company
has a contract with the city of Mo
line to remove all garbage. tin cans
and rubbish, for which it is to re-
ceive S12.50 annually. The farm
ers coming to the city and taking
the garbage, are thus depriving the
disposal company of its privilege
and taking garbage which the city
has consigned to the disposal COM
pany.
Every restaurant, cafe and hotel
owner will be given a warning, and
if he still insists on permitting
farmers to take the garbage, he will
be obliged to pay for the service
given him in hauling away his
ashes, tin cans and other rubbish,
stated the commissioner.
