Lengthy Discussion on Water Con-

Final Decision.

No agreement was reached after
a lengthy discussion between the
Moline city commission and H. p.
Matte, chief engineer for the state
department of health, in which the
latter explained the states recon-
mendation that the double check
valve system be installed to solve
Moline's polluted water problem.
The city's greatest contention
was that last summer the commits
sion passed a resolution that fac
tories divorce all city and factory
water mains, excepting the Six
teenth street main, where the dou-
bic check valve system was in
stalled.
The factories did not follow the
resolution, but instead appealed to
the state, and last week received
the recommendation that seven of
the connections remain protected
by the dual check system
A. c. Stouffer reiterated that the
city will never agree to this prop
osition of retaining the seven con-
nections. The factories are just

Frank l.. Stowe Gives Brief Ac-

and Much Alive Huns.

Four bayCnetted Huns is the rec

Moline and now of Davenport. Cor
poral Stowe has just returned from
France and Belgium and is visiting
with his parents, before going to

out of the service.
After being gassed three times
and made a victim of a machine gun
bullet, Stowe spent months in hos
pitfalls in France He now wears
three gold stripes on his sleeve for
wounds, and two stripes Of gold
and one of blue, the gold each sig
nifying six months service and the
blue a fractional part of the third
six-month-period.
When asked how many Germans
he had killed, he smilingly answer
ed four and gave this brief account
of his victims:
I'VE were ordered to kill the
wounded who showed signs of
fight. MY first Hun was wounded
and he would have gotten me If /
had not gotten him. But the other
three Huns I killed with the bay

"They gave me my'cross for help

There was nothing remarkable
about it. A regiment of French
soldiers had left temporarily and
the Germans seeing their advantage
executed a flank movement We
held them back.

More than four million dollars
worth Of business was transacted
by the five Moline banks during the
year 1918 over that in the year 1915,
before America entered the war.
Four years ago the local banks de-
posts showed total of approx
mately nine million dollars, while
the report for the year ending Dec
1, 1918, shows a total of over four
teen million dollars. In 1915 the
total resources were 81, 344 ISL. OF
and at the close of 1918 resources
amounted to S16,47S,S75.56.
This increase is largely due to
the war. for people have learned
the great art of saving. again the
raise is wholly due TO healthy
conditions in the factories Of Mo
line and the high wages paid en-
ployes throughout this district" one
local banker stated
