Worth Remembering.

Here is good thing to remember:
when you get sore at the world,
don't forget that it will not hurt the
world at all, while 1t may do you in
conceivable HARM" You are but a
very small part of this old world and
1t will wag along just about as well
without you as with you, so your COM
plants are not going to make so very
much difference after all. Better keep
sweet and do what you can to make
conditions better instead of getting
grouchy because things do not go to
suit you. The cheerful man gets far
Their than the crouch.

COVENANT OF THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Complete Text of This important
Document As 1t Was Signed
at Paris and Which Is Now
Causing Discussion in
This ',ntry.
RY0NE SHOULD READ 1T

...e people of the United States have
been asked, by both the proponents
and the opponents of the peace treaty
and League of Nations covenant, TO
give expression to their desires
as to the ratification of the treaty as
1t stands or with amendments or reser-
vations. Some of them have respond
ed, at the meetings addressed by the
president and by the opposing sena-
tors, or by Communications to their
senators. But the vast majority of the
people are handicapped by their ig-
norance of the matter. Probably not
one in ten thousand has read the
covenant of the League of Nations as
II was presented to the senate, main
ly because few have had the oppor-
tunity. IL order that our readers may
be prepared to do their full duty as
citizens In regard to the controversy,
the complete text of the covenant Is
herewith presented, and they are asked
to read 1t carefully.

STRAIGHT LINES
SET OFF BODY OF
NEW VEIIE MODEL

The velie Motors corporation
announces a new Velie six. The
announcement is interesting inas-
cara car whose lines are made Up
of plane surfaces blending into one
another in a most pleasing manner.
Viewed from any angle the new
Velie is attractive. Its straight
line, high cowl body and tapering
hood gives the eye a long unbroken
unit of beauty from front to rear.
Velie claims the honor Of being the
first to offer this new much sought
1esigD.
The new velie IS includes com
forts that match its art-deep-
plated upholstery, more leg room,
very wide doors, with storage
spaces and compartments in seat
backs and other interesting places
there are pleasing ideas every
where.
Velie also presents a new motor
in this car. A motor having an in
ternally heated yaporizer-a motor
which burns low-grade fuel sue
cessfully. and gives vastly more
miles per gallon. The Velie motor
is balanced and has a four-bear-
ing crank shaft; runs solidly with
out vibration at all speeds and has
high-grade bronze backed bearings
everywhere, which simply means
a minimum of upkeep and expense.
Velie claims more improvements in
its new motor than has been ad-
vanced in a decade.

CROCERS CLAD
TO SEE STRIKE
COME TO CLOSE
Delivery Was Heavy During Car
Service Halt But Was Down
to Minimum Again Today.

Several downtown grocers of
Rock Island expressed themselves
as very much pleased with the re-
Stunning of car service yesterday
and today.
While the strike was or, they
claim, much of their outlying shop
ping trade was laid low, along with
that of the other loop stores. The
inability on the part of many to
get down town diverted their reg
ular trade elsewhere temporarily
in many cases. Today much OF
this has returned. AS a deter
rent, the phone strike is also both
ering them. as the great number
of telephone customers dropped to
about one-half, either because of
total inability to connect with the
grocer via the wire, or an unwill-
ingneSs to fool with the things"
Delivery service increased great
ly during the car lapse and today
has shrunk to subnormal, since the
phone order volume is not as great
as usual.
