TO HOUSE HERE
Liberty Loan Committee Gathering
Information for Third Drive
for Democracy.

The Rock Island Liberty loan
committee for the third loan, will
complete a canvass of the city,
which has been going on since last
Tuesday.
The committee is securing volun-
tafy information in this canvass
which will greatly aid the actual
selling campaign, when the sale of
bonds starts. Those who made the
canvass inquired as to the income
of each resident The information
was voluntary on the part of each
householder, no effort being made
to compel them to give the infor-
nation wanted. In this way the
committee will have the resources
of the community at their finger
tips for the big drive.
The plan was originally recon-
mended by the government and is
being followed in every city in the
country, though different methods,
of securing information are en-
ployed. In some cities the tax
books are consulted

intendent Of schools mature this
spring, by summer Rock Island will
be covered with a network OF war
gardens.
Each citizen possessing a plot
which can be used ia urged TO use
the same for the raising of vege-
tables. Potatoes and other Vege-
tables that can be stored during the
winter months are to be the main
products in the war gardens. The
greatest saving can be executed by
utilizing all spare space for food
stuffs that will really aid the gov
eminent during the present war.
Secure Books.
Books on the subject OF war gar
dens can be secured at the Rock
Island public library A list of the
books was published in The Argus
a short time ago. The books de-
scribe every method that has
proven satisfactory and are not
only for the amateur but for the ex-
perienced gardener. Seeds in IN
usually large quantities have been
placed on sale by the local grocery
stores and hardware dealers.
Several Offers.
Following a request, issued by
Mr.. Fisher this week for property
owners who. possessed vacant lots
il the city to donate the same to
the board of education for the sum-
mer, many have answered and are
offering what they have. It is the
hope of those in charge to have
every vacant lot in the city used
during the summer for garden pur-
poses. This can be realized only
by real estate owners cooperating
with the board of education. The
main purpose is to provide families
who have no ground to work. In
previous years children did the
largest part of the work but this
year the officers In charge realize
that the undertaking should be
along broader lines.

light at the end Of the day brings
many self-evident advantages.
II will relieve the strain at the
time cd greatest fatigue, improve
working conditions, particularly in
industries where accurate eyesight
is essential. and materially cut
down the number of industrial ac-
cidents which statistics show have

The lessened risk of accidents in
transportation and local freight
handling is in itself more than suf-
ficient justification for the passage
of the measure.
Saves Fuel.
Daylight saving means also an
immediate reduction in the use Of
light and heat, with its attendant
conservation of coal. More than
1 100000 tons of coal is the esti-
mated saving.
Great Britain, France, Italy, Ger
many and eight other nations have
adopted daylight saving since the
outbreak of the war, and in all Of
them it is a great success. In Eng
land the saving in the use of arti-
fetal light and fuel is estimated at
50, 500, 900 for the summer months.
