With only a few more days re
naming before the appearance OF
the Hagenbeck-Walla circus, con-
siderable interest is being manifest
ed. not only by the younger genera
ZION. but BY some Of the older
bows" The big American circus,
operated by Edward Ballard, is now
looked upoa as a national institu-
ton. Year after year the big show
comes for its annual visit. Each
season sees an improvement, until
finally it is believed the limit mas
Feen reached. Yet the Hagenbeck~
wallace circus. which comes to MO-
line Tuesday, always affords new
and novel entertainment. 1t IS
frue the old-time circus features
remain. Yet novelties and Euro
mean thrills are added each year as
last as they are discovered.
Among the features this season
are the TIying Wards, aeriallsts;
The cevene Sextette Of dancers on

Australian whip-crackers ana busA-

Workers Who Walk Out Are Too
Selfish To Breathe, Says Moline
Fighter Overseas.

81 see quite a bit about strikes in
different parts of the country"
writes Sergeant Fred Stems, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. ". G. Stems, 1928
Fifteenth street, Moline who is
with the United States forces in
France. ANY man, no matter
what his work is, who would go on
a strike now is too selfish to
breathe. The men over here need
everything they can get and every
one at home who fails to do his
part, hurts our boys over here Just
that much"
Il saw an article in a home pa
per, printed about the middle of
May" he continues; sit was a full
column about the men in the har-
ness shop presumably at the ar
senaD working overtime to get out
a rush order of harness material.
There certainly was a big writeup
about it but those same fellows
who made such a fuss over it would
soon get used to it here. 1t said
they gave up their half holiday.
What is a holiday? The fellows in
the trenches don't know dark from
daylight as far as work is con
ceTned and Sunday is usually cele-
brated by extra work"
Sergeant Stems says that unless
Americans have changed a great
deal he thinks they are not doing
the maximum for the Red, Cross. He
says it needs every thing it can get
for it does wonderful work over
there. Deere & Co. and Velie's
are one-hOrse concerns beside the
way supplies are handled by the
Red Cross" he asserts. IF you ask
for anything from a paper of pins
to an operating table, you get it"
Ignorance of the French Ian
guage ofttimes is a serious handi-
cap to the Yankees in France, he
says, and relates his own expert
ence on going, into store to secure
a package of I've. The American
French dictionary did not enighten
/ him on the French word for I've
and he was unabel to read the la
bells on the packages, Rummaging
I around the shelves, however, he
came to a familiar looking box but
the only way he could assure him
self as to its contents was to taste
il. A number of women in the store
were on the verge of swooning, he
says, but he suffered no serious aft
/ er-effeCts.
Storms enlisted in the medical
! corps June 16, 1917. and has been
/ in France since April. He formerly
was employed in the blacksmith
shop of the arsenal.

STATE WILL HAVE
LAST WORD ABOUT
CITY WATERWAYS

Without the approval of the state
board of health no check valve
system of any kind, no matter how
satisfactory it is said to be, will
be installed in Moline as a perman-
ent proposition, nor will the CON
nection at Sixteenth street between
factory and city water mains re-
main permanent.
This was decided yesterday in
discussion of the typhoid situs-
ton by Mayor NJ. r. Carlson and
Commissioners OIdefest and John
son. On Monday the commission
changed a recent order that the
factories be permitted to install a
system of double gates and check
valves at the connection on Six
teenth street. All. other connec-
tons will be abolished when that
system has been installed. They
never will be permitted to exist
again. said Commissioner Olde-
fest
Just what the fate of the Six
teenth street connection will be

They promise weekly inspection to
assure the city that they are in
good condition.
For many years the city has not
Z called on the factory pumps for
help in fighting fires outside of

sioner Oldefest. Thus it is pointed
ont that the severing of con1ec-
