Municipal Commission Does Not
Plan To RescInd Section On
Dram Shop.
WILL WAIT FOR TWO YEARS
Until After Another Vote on the
Wet and Dry Question Nothing
VIII Be Done.

Rock Islands dram shop ordt-
nance is to remain a law for two
years at least.
The city council will take no &C
ton to abolish the ordinance after
the local option law goes into ef-
feet in the city May /. Steps have
already been taken by the Moline
council to draw an ordinance which
will make the licensing of saloons
void.
At present the situation in this
city is such that resembling the IL
quor ordinance may only make ad-
ditional work within two years, &C
cording to city officials who say
that after a period of local option
the citizens may desire to return
the saloon again. For the time be-
ing the commission will leave the
ordinance alone.
Says 1t Is Folly.
One commissioner stated today
that it would be folly to eliminate
the law within the next few years
or until after the next time the wet
and dry question is again voted on.

SCHOOL THRIFT
is SUCCESSFUL
L. c. Fisher, School Superintend-
emit Explains Results Be-
ing Obtained.
WAR STAMP SALE HEAVY ONE
Added 10 Regular Collections for
Bank, a Total Of $4,S20.50
is Attained.

The most successful thrift cam
paign yet made in the grade schools
IS now being carried on, according
To reports Of <. c. Fisher, city SUI
perintendent OF schools.
The school savings are about the
same that have been il recent years
but the added war savings stamp
collection has increased the saw
ines TO the average of $1,000 per
week. The war savings stamps
were made especially for the school
students and the students OF Rock
Island are taking advantage OF
them. When the savings stamps
were first put up for sale they we're
our with the purpose Of reaching
the small investor and securing his
systematic saving which is so nee
essarv in this time. and as a means
of instilliug the thought OF tnrllt.
In order TO have a systematic AID
10 the government II Is necessary
10 have an organization, and with
this in mind there has been formed
a plan for the formation OF war
savings society within every school
room in the state
Each room in Rock Island in the
grade schools has one Of these or
carnations and IS doing its utmost
to keep up its record. The stu
dents Of the grade schools are de-
termined to beat their last three
months record. and some OF the
students are now working on Sat
urdavs so that they can raise the
needed % cents for stamps. A sec
rerarv-treasurer has been elected
in the rooms and in most cases 1t
is the teacher. but in the larger
grades some student has been elect
ed 10 the Office. To become men,
Der Of this society the pupils have
signed pledge cards When the
uupil has bought or sold one thrift
or war SAVINGS stamp he will have
his name affixed to the Roll Of
Honor" When a pupil has bought
or sold five thrift stamps a green
star will be affixed to his name on
the roll of honor If the pupil has
!. bought or sold 10 thrift stamps a
&red star will be put after his name
WA blue star will be placed after
the pupils name who buys or sells
% thrift stamps. and for the pupil
selling or bUvinE so war savings
stamps q. golden star will be placed
after his or her name Much en-
thusiasm has been put in this idea
and the students are endeavoring
10 get the gold star.
The following IS the amount Of
money that the school students
have saved IN the last three
months:
Thrift stamps-January SS9592 /:
February. s1.0S19I: March, ST.
2s325. Total. S3,26108
The following is the regular
school savings record: January,
$4,000; February. s69OS4; March,
S55s.3S. Total. 81 .559.42.
The two together make a grand
total Of s4.s2O.50. According 20 Mr.
Fishers records this is the largest
amount OF money saved by the
school children since the school
savings plan started.
