Local Committee OF Education
Finds Publishers Are ViOlat-

Publishers who have increased
the price OF school text books to
the Rock Island board of education
will find themselves all out of
luck.
Two years ago prices for books
to be used by the schools of this
state were filed with Francis G.
Blair, state superintendent of
school instruction. Since then the
prices filed have become legal and
a raise in price cannot be made
under the state law.
Mr. Blair has had it brought to
his attention that many publishers
have increased the price of books.
He has written TO the board of ed
ucation saying that the price es-
tabIished two years ago is the only
one to be paid.
E. F. Burch of the Rock Island
board of education said this morn

launched to mobilize it's forces and
resources for the expanding of all
activities, especially its missions,
religious education, and social
service.
The Episcopal church in the
diocese of Quincy, which embraces
IT counties lying between the Mis-
sissippi and Illinois rivers, has
been organized for this campaign
by the appointment by Bishop Ed
ward Fawcett, of the following
committee:
Rev. H. A. Burgess, Canton; Very

their work
1.-The church today faces her SUI
preme tasks" said the Rev. Mr..
Davidson, general missionary for
the diocese of Quincy. THE world
today has sent forth its challenge
is the church worth while? Is her
mission over? Will she adapt
herself to the needs of the hour
and show herself capable of lead
ership in the worlds crisis?'
The forces of Christianity are
gathering themselves to meet this
challenge fearlessly and common
surately. Campaigns for efficiency
have been inaugurated by the var
ious denominations and vast sums
Of money are being raised to be
used in meeting the emergency
calling for increased educational,
sociological and evangelistic ac-
tivity on the part of the church.
THE Episcopal church has
launched it's nationwide campaign,
having for an immediate objective
the enlisting of the whole spiritual
power of the church to bear upon
her task and the securing and
training of an increased number of
persons, clerical and lay, for
Christian leadership and work. AS
an important and necessary part
of this task is the securing of a
fund, available during the next
three years, to finance this inten-
sive program. The amount re-
quired will not be less than $780,
100000, and it is believed that 1t
will be found within the will and
power of the Episcopal church

but at last l had to give her up.
Il had about decided to have the
operation when a good friend ad-
vised me to try Tanlac, saying it
was the best railroad mans med

left me L had made up my mind to
try Tanlac as a last resort before
going to a hospital. So l had them

from which the board is purchas-
ing 1,450 text books, has increased
the price three cents; another,
where 125 books are being bought,
has made the price so cents higher,
and still another is asking 20 cents
more.
Mr.. Burch says that the local
board expects to remit checks for
the price as given in the 1917 list

will be taken up with the state.
Publishers give increase in cost OF

: To the Voters OF the Thirty-third
Senatorial District:
/ am a candidate on the Repub-
liCan ticket for nomination for
delegate to the Constitutional Con-
yention. subject to the primary
election to be held Sept. 10, next,
and l earnestly ask your support.
In my professional and official
experience l have come in contact
with many of the questions that
will be involved in that convention
and that have made its calling nee
essary.
For more than twenty years I
have been advocating the calling
of a constitutional convention to
revise and amend the present con-
stitution, for in no other way has
its amendment or revision been
reasonably pOssible-due to the re-
strictions for such purpose EN-
braced in the constitution itself
and l have always hoped to be a
delegate to such convention when
called.
I have retired from the practice
of law and can give all my time to
the work. l am not connected with
any private, public or special in
terest that would bias or prejudice
my action in the convention. l have
no hobbies nor pet schemes to adj
vance and am absolutely free to
give the very best there is in me to
the work of the convention. to the
state and to the people, and if
elected will do so.
l served my country in the Civil
war; l have served my county and
congressional district on different
occasions many years in public
office. and l frankly say that
would like to round out my official
career by helping to write the con-
stitution OIL my state. However, 1
Just as frankly say, without regard
for any candidates personal ambi-
tons, that the work of the cOnven-
ion is a mans work. and that the

late to do it should be the voters

TINE retail merchants
l. sphere of usefulness is
sharply defined by his
ability to make prompt
delivery.
In the days before motor trucks
came into general use, his prog
reSs was measured, not by his
vision, initiative or merchandiz-
ing ability, but by the speed and
endurance of horse flesh.
With the automobile and truck
came a constantly widening field
of activity quicker deliveries
were possible. A widened service
meant more and better satisfied
customers and the merchant was
able to expand his business to
the utmost.
The Standard Oil Company Gn-
diana) has zen an important
factor in making this expansion
possible. By anticipating the
demands for gasoline and lubri-
eating oil, it was prepared to
supply these necessary products
to merchants even in remote
places.
Further, the very feature of wide
distribution and low price of
gasoline has enabled the small
merchant to utilize power-driven
delivery.
Thus has the Standard Oil Com
pany Ondiana) been an important
factor in the expansion of bust
ness by helping the little mer-
chant to become big, and the
people in remote corners to have
the advantages of cities.
How we'll the Company has
functioned may be Judged by
its size, for no concern could
have reached the proportions of
the Standard Oil Company In

pOrtant and definite service to
the public.

Florida the success which he has
brought in a business way to Central
America, he made plain last night.
Money and ambition will bring the
realiza ton of the dream which he has
had for this part of the country.
Success is bound to come to Pen
sacola and to West Florida" he said.
and it is coming quickly.
1T is impossible for me to formu-
late any hard and fast rules for the
attaining. of this success by the young
men of the community, as derived
from my personal experience. I doubt
if any man ever attains what he deems
to be success. That would imply the
realization of all his dreams. of all
his plans, whereupon he would be the
most unhappy and miserable of men.
Relative success is, of course, an en-
tirely different thing.
There are thousands OF unbroken
and industrial and commercial wilder
nesses awaiting the men of Pensacola
and West Florida who have the ener-
gy and the courage to face the prob
lens presented here. Success will
come, not to those who blindly follow
established presidents but to those
who create what later becomes a pre-
cedent."
