BILE feature. The administration
section will consist of a general Of
fee and a private Office adjoining,
together with a vault and a room
in which school books will be kept
for sale to the children.
The heating will consist of
separate fan and radiator combin-
ed, located in each room, instead
of having one large fan with
ducts, throughout the building
This is a new development in heat
ing and ventilating and has proven
so successful elsewhere that it has
been recommended without heSita-
ton 1t does away with conceal
ed ducts, reduces cost and makes
more flexible installation, so that
any room can be ventilated with
out reference to other portions.
The building will be fireproof,'
of reinforced concrete construc-
ton and the exterior faced with
vitrified brown brick and stone
trimming.
AS this school is located in
rapidly growing district, the board
has looked forward to future ex-
pansion and the architects have so
planned the building that 6, ~ or
Is rooms may be added as might
be required, without disturbing the
present arrangement.
The architects expect to have
the plans ready the early part of
June.

Keep Well Family
Well Object Home
Nursing Glasses

Because the recent epidemic has
taught that at times no amount of
money can buy skilled nursing,
Ns9d that among the women in the
home depends the very lives of the
others of the family; because last
year for every man who died in
battle nine children under the age
of five died of lack of intelligent
care at home; because in Illinois
alone $4,000 people died last year
of preventable disease for all
these reasons the Rock Island
chapter of the Red Cross is offer
ing its free classes in home by
giene and care of the sick which
are to begin June l anG continue
until the end of July.
The Red Cross states that the
above figures, startling as they
may seem, are based on actual sta
tistics; they prove that it is far
more dangerous to life to be a child
under five years of age tnan to be

obliged to pledge herself for any
service of any kind. The sole OBJ
ject of the Red Cross in conduct
ing the classes is to offer women
the chance to better prepare them
selves to keep the well family well
and to bring back to health those
who are ill. Those desiring to
join a class are asked to commun-
icate with Red Cross headquarters
at once, as the classes are limited
in size and are rapidly beng filed.

also show every woman an obliga-
ton to both her country and her
own family-the obligation to Sc
cure all the correct information
and skilled instruction available
The Red Cross is nov offering
to Rock Island women just such
instruction. AS previously an
nounced, the course is covered by
eight lessons of two hours each,
each class meeting once each
week. Eight classes are to be or
ganiZed in Rock Island alone, so
that women may have choice of
days and hours at which to take
the instruction.

nual loss of from Is to % per
cent of the crop is due to asparagus
rust, and county agents are urg-
ing growers to use the more pro-
ductive rust-resistant strains de
veloped by the United States de-
partment of agriculture. A report
from one agent states that a grow

crowns of the rust-resistant as
paragus is highly pleased with the
showing it made this season and
expects to increase his paintings
greatly.

MEADOW OVERFTOWS.
City's Water Supply at Present Is
 Greatest Ever.

The City of New Britain has the greatest supply of water at the pres- ent time that it has had in years. The water at Shuttle Meadow, the To- cal reservoir supplying the city, is at a level of 24 feet inches which is eight inches above the regular level of the reservoir and two inches above the spillway recently erected at the reservoir when the water began to rise.
 At Whigville the same condition ap- plies and from recent rains the water is still running over the dam by the thousands of gallons per day There is no overflow space at that place and that water IS necessarily lost to the city although it aids in swelling the rivers and streams below it.
 At the present time the city is using the Whigville water and when the supply at night is lessened the water is reverted to Shuttle Meadow which is so full that the water runs over the spillWay,

They are se- lective serv1ce men, but in the past they have shown a very high quality of morale, in facing the unpleasant task before them, so long without openly manifested discontent. Even now, officers argued, the mutinous company probably would show an inn mediate change of heart if a general attack on the Bolshevlki forces which are harassing the command was un- dertaken.
 Regulars Arc Trusted.
 No ureasiness is felt concerning the American contingent in Siberia, which is largely composed of old-time regu- lar units from the Philippines. The percentage of professional soldiers, it is thought, is so high in Major-Gen- eral Graves command that it is high ly improbable an agitator could gain a hearing among the men.
