Measles and Grip Greatly Increase
Absences in Moline High School
During Past Month.

Not hockey" favorite pastime of
boyhood days, but grip and measles
have played hob" with the attend
ance in the Moline high school.
During the present month the at
tendance percentage dropped from
its usual mark of 967 to 85, due to
an epidemic of illness.
Work is now being rushed on the
high school annual, which is due to
make its appearance the last of
April. 1t is promised by those in
charge of the publication il will be
better than ever. Not only will this
be true in relation to the subject
matter. but the ads are to be more
extensive than usual.
Catching the drift OF the spirit
of the times. the high school lads
have boosted the price of their
book this year, but claim that merit
of their offering clearly justifies
the advance.

ing Installed by Inmates.

In order to practice the strictest
kind of economy in keeping with
the present war situation. Supe.-
lntendent G. NJ Hawley of the Wa

have new plumbing for the main
building installed by the patients
thereby saving a big sum for the
state which will only be required
10 furnish the material. Work is
10 be started the first of next
week, the job involving an cxpendi-
ture of $4,000.
Another project which the pa
tients have practically completed Is
that of converting the music hall
into a dining room. so that the
present quarters under the base
ment of the main building can be
used for other purposes. The new
hall will have accommodations for
about three hundred. There are
TWO other halls seating $50 each
and in addition private dining
rooms in the wards The building
will be ready for occupancy within
the next few weeks.
Appropriations for thes two jobs
were the only ones included in the
state budget for Watertown hospi-
tai this year. so that no other bull !
ing improvements are planned this
year by superintendent Hawiey.
He is, however. boosting farm and
garden work to the limit and all
available space around the build
ings is being used to increase crop
production.
Because of the draft and the fact
that the state of Illinois is adopt
ing frugality of the most prOnOunc-
ed sort, il has been quite difficult
to secure and keep employees which
is one of the biggest problems Su-
