At the Spencer Square.

Tonight there promises to be a
real Streat in store for all at the
Spencer Square theatre when Fatty
Arbuckle will be seen in his latest
comedy, 'MOOnshine." There is
only one Fatty, consequently his
stunts bear at all times a mark OF
originality that it would be hard to
efface. He is as original in his way
as Chaplin is in his and at that
both no doubt are perfectly nat
ural and that is why they are able
TO put il across" II is also the
last time to see W. S. Hart in his
wonderfully good picture, THE
He'll Hound of Alaska" Harris
versatility as an actor is evidenced
TO a high degree in his portrayal
OF Yukon Ed, the leader of men in
this picture of the great northland.
Here as the protector of Ruby Nc
Graw his standards of right and
wrong are his only guage Whether
the occasion demands dash and
snap or calmness. deliberation and
kindness Hart is equally qualified
TO meet it. His ability to instantan-
eously change from the rough and
hardy to the loving and kind is
beautifully accumulated in this pro-
duction of The He'll Hound of
Alaska"

WANTS HELP OF
COUNTY PEOPLE
States Attorney Floyd f. ThOmp-
son Asks Cooperation of
All in Idler Drive.
AFTER RICH NON-WORKER
Says LOafing Is Habit and Can Be
Easily Broken by Proper
Methods.

Il want the cooperation of every
citizen in Rock Island county dur
ing the next few months"
States Attorney Floyd f. Thomp-
son today made the foregoing re
quest to the public in connection
with his campaign against idlers
now being waged.
Il earnestly believe that among
the richer people not only in the
city but in the county there are
lOafers or ones who waste their
time doing absolutely nothing to
help the country during the time of
war" he continued. Through the
help OF the people Rock Island
county will be able to claim the
title of no Ioafers. rich or poor
do not intend to use the names
of people who report others who
are not working, but the names o.
those who do not work should be
spread broadcast"
Mr.. Thompson requests that the
names OF nOn-wOrkers be given him
in order that he might investigate
and take steps to put the persons
to work
His drive in the city of Rock Is
land and in Moline has thus far
been successful Reports, after in
vestigations conducted by the po-
lice departments, show that there
are practically no idlers about the
streets, in pool halls or cigar stores.
Sufficient Period.
1T has been customary when a
man refuses to work to put him
at 60 days on the streets or the
county highways. | consider this
sufficient time for a man to re-
pent and ] believe that he will not
continue to loaf when his sentence
is up.
Thus far in the cases l have
handled, l find that the majority of
men loaf merely because they have
developed the habit. After a man
gets to work once and makes
good living wage he develops the
work habit and seems to like it."
County residents are urged TO
make a report Of all loafers to Mr..
Thompson. He viii see that they
are promptly attended to without
using the names of the person or
persons that reported the cases.

There is nothing in this immedi-

advise you to ask the various pas

sire.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
middle-aged man and my wife is
three years younger than |. We
have been married ten years and
have no children. | am very fond
of children and so was my wife
until about one year ago. We had
talked about adopting one, but she
refuses to do so now. What would
be the best to do in this case? II
would be fine to have a child to
care for and would be lots ofpleas-
ure for us both. She would make
beautiful mother if she became
attached to a child and realized
that it was hers to care for. We
are very well situated and / have
nice income and would do all |
could for one if l just had a chance
to do so.
If we were to have one adopted
how is the best way to go about
it?
What aged baby would you sug-
gest having? HUSBAND.
Since it is your wife who would
have the care of the child you can
not adopt one very well unless she
is willing to do so. Let her know
