TIME EXTENDED
FOR CAMPAIGN
FUND ONE WEEK

The time for the conducting Of
the campaign for the Jewish relief
fund has been extended one week.
according to an announcement re-
ceiyed at the local headquarters
from the state office in Champaign
Reason for the extension of the
time is the rainy weather of the
week, which has made it difficult
for teams to go forward with the
work of canvassing the business
and residence districts.
This brings the close of the drive
to Sunday, Nov 3. as the last day,
rather than to this coming Sunday.
The order to extend the time ef-
fects not only the Rock Island dis
trict of the drive, but the entire
state, and will give the workers
plenty of time to reach OIL. pass their
assigned quota.
Work in this district, including
Rock Island and the lower part of
the county. is going forward with
enthusiasm. Many substantial con-
tributions have been received by
the women's teams, working in the
residence districts, and the men,
who are taking charge Of the bust
ness district A more complete
list Of mems team captains will
soon be ready. as well as announce
ment OF subscriptions received.

ON The review
BOARD ELECTED
Labor Organ Waxing Prosperous
. According TO Reports in An
nuaI Stockholders Meet.

Three new directors were elected
and reports indicating good prog
ress in the last year on the part Of
the Tri-City Labor Review were
heard last night in the annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Re
view Publishing company.
Those elected were installed in
their positions on the board of di-
rectors by that action, to begin
work Immediately. The three are
E. ]. Carlson, representing the
union carpenters; NJ. NJ Burns, rep
resenting the bakers, and Harry
Grampp of the brewers. L. S.
Arnold, a barber, was elected to
fill vacancy on the board for the
next two years. AS indicated, the
choice of directors purposely in
cludes men from widely different
branches of work.
The officers of the publishing
company made reports to the stock
olders, showing the business as go
ing along in good shape The out
look. as they pointed out, is for a
much better year, the coming IL
months, because of the fact that
the RevieW, the official organ of
tri-city labor interests, is constant
ly getting better support in the
community.

is Present Outlook.

Although It is still a few weeks
until the slogan do your Christ
mas shopping early" is applicable,
buyers whose duty it is TO supply
the holiday trade are making their
hardest efforts now to prepare for
the coming demand. That consid-
cradle difficulty is being expert
enced in the attempt is the unani-
nous verdict.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Santa Claus is working at top
speed in his shops amid the bleak
north land of endless snow. it is
certain, according to meE informed
as to the needs of the trade. that
the supply this year will fall far
short of the demand.
Toys will be higher this year,
too, they say, because skilled labor
which is employed in making most
of the novelties is receiving top
wages at the present time. Raw
material also is more expensive
than ever before. The greatest
dearth will occur in dolls. foT
Witch manufacturers are finding il
1npossible to meet scarcely more
than half the demand.
Some New Toys.
However, little tots need not
worry because the toys with which
Kris Kringle stuffs their stockings
will number among them some
features which never appeared be-
fore on the market There will be
dolls with eye lids that close exact

Coupled with the reasons assign
ed for the shortage according to
buyers here Is the fact that Ger
many, once a power in the toy
trade, is now practically out OF
the market as a result Of a moral
boycott which the allied countries
have placed against her goods. A

b. D. Hancock Has Narrow Escape
From Masked Man Operating
on Street in Moline.

An attempted holdup of a Rock
Island man in Moline by a masked
bandit armed with club was frus-
trated last night by the strength
and length of the Rock Islanders
limbs. and the lucky fact that the
sidewalk was unobstructed.
The pantomime was enacted at
about $50 o'clock, when B. o. Han
cock or 500 Forty-fourth street,
Rock Island, was walking along
Nineteenth street, Moline, between

reached the middle of the block.

bearing an efficient looking club.

Although startled for q moment.
Hancock didn't stop long to get
acquainted. but started spriRting
record speed for Fifth avenue
The bandit. who had evidently in
tended TO stop the pedestrian, see
ing his prey escaping, converted
his club into an aerial torpedo,
LAUGHED at Hancocks head. This
move nearly succeeded. The stick
hit its mark and left a cash in the
scalp, partially stunning the sprint
er, but he was able to keep going
Looking back when he reached
Fifth avenue, Hancock could see
nothing OF tho holdup man. He
went to the Y. NJ. c. A. where his
wound was dressed and the police
were called to search for the ban
dit. He had escaped by that time,
however, and no trace of him was
found.
