Only one person was arrested on
charge of intoxication in Moline
during the first ten days of May.
This record is unusual, but is prop
ably due to the rain. Since the rain

days have been dry, eight arrests
have been made. Police believe 1t

ELM HANDSOME AND HISTORIC,

There is no tree in the United
States probably which is more pop
ular than the elm and there is good
reason for this for it is extremely
graceful and beautiful, says the
American Forestry association rot
memorial tree planting for soldiers
and sailors is being carried out in
cities, towns and villages all over
the United States. There are many
historic elms too. 1t was under an
elm, for instance, as every school
boy will recall, that Washington
took command of the American
army at Cambridge. Few trees in
the United States have a wider dis
tribution than the elm. One striking
form of the elm has a vase shaped
top.

INCREASED USE OF ALSIKE
CLOVER.

The demand for alsike clover
seed this spring has been much
greater than formerly, because
seed of this clover is cheaper and
has a greater covering capacity
Present Indications are that the
area seeded in 1919 will be so large
as to reduce the possible carry over
of alsike seed to a minimum. This
will mean that the 1920 crop Of
clover must be grown almost en-
tirely from seed harvested this
year.

mountain beasts his most intimate

For 30 years he has lived out of

His name is William Hardwiek. He
is known as The Mysterious Man OF
the Mountains"
He is perhaps the only man in the
4 civilized world who has not heard of
the world war.

man who roamed the hills leading a

The hermit had been a man, ap-

He told McClelland he had been

camps of tourists out of which he had
clothed himself.
He accompanied McCleland to the

4 To Have Special Glasses.
ITO assure parent and pupils Of
the readiness and possibility of the
school TO offer the most favorable
and unusual opportunity to make up
work lost through illness or enforced
vacations. the school board has seen
fit to engage the services of an ad-
ditional teacher for the second sem
ester. thereby rendering possible dhe
formation of classes, not ordinarily
organized in midyear. for the special
purpose of enabling students of abil-
ity and determination to make up back
work and to attempt TO cover the re-
quirements for the year without loss
Of credits or class membership. In
order to do this successfully and eff
fectively under such conditions 1t win
be necessary for these students to
deny themselves some of their ac-
customed outside activities and to ap-
ply themselves with redoubied speed
and diligence TO schoOlwork- The
school does not promise that all viii
be granted credit in full, but it does
extend a most favorable opportunity
to try TO cover the work.
The plan proposed to meet the
present emergency viii permit the
grouping Of pupils into small class
