AFTER A TWo-HoUR DINNER

Watching his ancient hostess eat,
 The pessimist, with baffled brain, Saw her eyes gleam at the roast meat
 Or when the plates were changed again
 He marveled at her happiness; She begged no more of life than this Her joy in food was measureless; It was her blessing and her bliss.

 ators who essayed to fly direct from St. Johns, N. F., to England without a stop in an effort to beat the Ameri- can seaplanes across, were given up as lost three days after they left St. Johns, when no word was heard from them.

!. The Reehabites TesteS wv. 1-5).
In the days of Jehoiakim the Lord
charged Jeremiah to bring the Recha-
bites into the house of the Lord and test
them regarding the drinking Of wine.
This he did in place where the people
might behold them, the aim being to
teach Israel by example. The father
Of the Rechabites had given command
that they should not drink wine. Their
flial obedience put to shame the Is
raelites for their lack Of obedience.
Jonadab. the father Of the Rechab1tes,
was only a man, but the one whose
commands Israel were disregarding
was the Almighty God, their Creator
and Savior. 1t is Gods plan that every
man be tested. Being free agent ne
only can have character through test
Ing. 1t was for this reason that God
placed Adam and Eve in Eden and per-
mitted the devil to test them. While
we should be concerned with the re-
moval Of temptations from men, we
ing them their responsibility and show
ing them how to overcome.
II. The FiIiaI Loyalty of the Recha-
bites wv. GID.
Though they were out of their own
country, in the midst of foreign peo-
pie, they refused to drink wine, declar-
Ing that they had been true to the IN
struction of Jonadab all their lives.
Obedience to his instructions had been
practiced by all men, women and chill
dren. 1t is fine thing when children
keep in memory their fathers and rem
der obedience to their commands.

the appeal on the basis Of the flial
loyalty of the Rechabites. He remind

up early to do so.

as follows: a. The Rechabites were
obedient to one who was but a man;
the Jews disobeyed the infinite and
eternal God. (2) Jonadab was dead
long since and could not know Of their
disloyalty or correct them from it. God
is all-wise and lives forever and will
punish for disobedience. (3) The Rech-
abites were never put in mind Of their
obligations, but God sent his prophets
who rose up early to remind them. (D
Jonadab left the charge, but no estate
to bear the charge; but God gave the
people a goodly land and blessed them
in it. 90 God never tied up his people
to any hard task like Jonadab did, yet

~Hire a Soldier Campaign Prov

Helping Returned Boys.
Is ARE STILL WAITING
Fred ". Rinck, Employment Su-
perintendent, Delighted Over
. Results of Movement.

Seventeen returned Rock Island
soldiers were made happy and
thankful yesterday when they were
provided work by the Illinois free
employment bureau as the result
of the Hire a Soldier" campaign
started Saturday by The Argus.
Some rs more men are still wait
ing for their happy and thankful
day to come along and employers
of the county are urged to respond
to the appeals being made by F. W.
Rinck, superintendent at the en-
ployment Office, for the benefit of
the returned soldiers for whom
there can be found no work.
A coupon is attached to this ar
ticle for the use of persons who
will provide employment for re-
turned soldiers and its use is
urged by The Argus and by Mr..
Rinck of the employment office.
The coupons are being returned
rapidly by Argus readers and each
one means that a soldier is to be
given job.
The Hire a Soldier" campaign
is proving a great success and by
the end of the present week it is
expected that there will not be one
returned lad out of work in the en-
tire county. Providing residents
of the county respond during the
next few days as they have during
the last two, work will be afforded
all.
Boys Happy.
"The returned boys who are call
ing here daily to see if work has
been found for them have changed
their attitude entirely. Where be-
fore they were discouraged be-
cause no jobs have been in sight,
they are now contented and are
feeling happier because of the in
terest that The Argus has taken in
them. They are now confident
that they will soon be furnished
jobs and it is a pleasure to see
how much more jubilant they are"

INSURGENTS OF
W0ODMEN FALL
} FLAT AT START
Opening Caucus Of Progressive
League Shows Only -Four
Delegates Present
DISCUSSION is UNDER WAY
Head Camp Meeting This Afternoon
to Learn Membership Views
on Rate Matter.
Especial to The Arrusl

Chicago, March 25.-Insurgents
apparently have broken down in
their movement to carry the Mod
ern Wo6dRan of America special
head camp for a continuation of the
patriotic fund without further in
crease Ia the rates of the society.
Tho progressive league" under
which name they conducted their
sessions, went into the head camp
~neeting today with only fraction
OF the strength they had hoped to
present The Showdown" came at
a special meeting of the insurgents
last night, This was attended by
$50 men, 146 of whom were not dele
gates but who had paid their own
expenses to come to Chicago to op-
pose the rate increase. Only four
who attended the meeting are dele
gates to the head camp meeting and
one OF them, W. H. Miller, Harris
burg, Pa, considered the brains and
leader OF the movement, deserted
the progressive league after it's ses-
sion last night
When the insurgents met there
were two reports offered. The ma
jority report favored continuation
Of the patriotic assessment to be
placed In the benefit fund and no
increase in rates. The minority re-
port and the one Miller favored was
to adopt table No. 3.
Lacked Sound Arguments.
Miller, after the session, deserted
the insurgents, saying that he fail
ed to find any argument to sustain
their position. He had hoped to see
them moving along on some con-
5truetive lines. His action left the
Insurgents with only three dele
gates in the head camp, it was stat
ed, such a small representation that
the chance of blocking a sufficient
increase in rates to save the So
eiety seems very remote.
Insurgents had hoped to bring
about a movement to reduce sal
aries of the head officers as a means
of economy, but they have learned
that only the rate increase itself
can be taken up at this time and
that salary reductions will have to
DO laid over until the 1920 head
camp,
The head camp session convened
iii the Hotel Sherman this after
noon with the plan on foot of the
executive council to have each one
of the delegates state his views on
the proposed increase in rates. The
executive council has issued for
NAL statement declaring this to be
its policy, to let the suggestions
come from the delegates them
selves, iRasmuch as they come as
Representatives of the membership
and can tell what the Woodmen
from various sections believe the
best course to follow.
Sentiment Changing.
There are four tables of rate in
ereases before the head camp. Ia
file No. until today seemed to be
in greatest favor, but sentiment is
drifting from that to Nos. 2 and 4,
with Ne. 4 probably looked upon as
the most desired. Table No. 3, |
showing the rate to be charged on
$500 and 81 900 policies. at the age
of entry of the holder, is appended:
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-03-25

Table No. differs from No. 3 in
that the same rate, rs cents per
$1,000, is charged from II to %
years and is slightly reduced over
table No. 8 among the older mem
bers. Table No. is a SO per cent
increase over the present rate with
the patriotic fund assessment dis
continued.
Table No. 4, the one considered
most favorably this afternoon, is
similar to No. 8, with the exception
that the rate for those who entered
the society at ages from SO to As
are all the same, $1-50 per 81, 900 of
insurance. In this table no mem
ber's rate would be more than
S150 per $1,000 of insurance,
whereas in No. table it runs as
righ as 81 per 81 900 of insurance.

Chicago, March 25.-A convention

of $4,000, 900 in securities. THIS
has dwindled to $4,000 owing to
the ravage of influenza and pneu-

During the war the society by a
special assessment raised a fund of
Sc, 900, 900 out of which all war
claims were met and there remains
in this fund $4,000. 900, the speaker
stated. The war claims, he said,
were as nothing compared to those
