Cartoonist Makes
Hit With Sketches

AS a result of an explanation of
the proposed educational bill pre-
sented by E. c. Fisher, superin-
tendent of city schools, the mem
bers of the Rock Island Woman
club meeting Saturday afternoon
in March session at Masonic tenn
pie, endorsed the bill, and the sec
rotary of the club was instructed
to write to the governor of the
state and the senators urging
them to support this important
bill which is to come before the
senate this week. In his talk Mr..
Fisher brought out the fact that
the schools must have teachers
and tools to work with If they are
which has been set in the past
The program for the afternoon
was given by Alton Packard, car
toonist and humorist of New York
city, and Mrs. Swan Nyquist, &C
companied by Mrs. Robert Lee,
who sang Judith" (Concone).
Mr.. Packard Immediately won
his audience and he proved a most
interesting entertainer during the
afternoon. The subject announced
for his talk was The Valley of the
Shadow" but he changed his
theme and gave instead Uncle
Sans People," drawing sketches
of types of Americans telling hu-
morous experiences and incidents
as he sketched In addition to his
sketches, Mr.. Packard gave several
songs, playing his own accompani-
ment These were all clever dit
ties of his own composition,
American Girl" Henrietta, the
Suffraget," yellow Dog" and
You Get What You Get When
You Grab It"
His sketch on the modern YER
sion of burning the midnight oil
was exceptionally appreciated, as
was his sunset scene, which in
cluded the old farmhouse, the aged
couple and the evening star, from
which he drew the point of his
talk, urging that the star of hope
be not overlooked in these trying
times, when one is apt to loose
hold of faith and the fact that
right is going to conquer.
He was encored and was COM
PEELED to give another song. When
again called on to return he an
nounced that the program would
close with the singing of America,
to his accompaniment. The entire
afternoons program was excep-
tionally much appreciated
Four new members were recon-
mended by the executive board and
were accepted by the club at the
meeting as follows: Mrs. Theodore
F. Olson, Mrs. Louis H. Carstens,
Jr., Miss Geneva Martin Myers and
Mrs. Marcus Edward Lucas.

tee and department heads were
given and after the program re-
freshmentS were served by the
hospitality committee. This was
the first meeting since the club
voted to serve at each session.

that the photograph shows Fatty
holding his 100000 contract and
laughing at his own expense?

WOULD SAVE $4,000.

Springfield, 1ll.-Representativ
Miller of Champaign says an an
nual saving of $4,000 would be al
fected by his bill amending the
teachers pension act. 1t would
authorize appointment of members
of the board Of trustees by the gov
ernor. Now they are elected by
referendum vote. Contributors to
the fund and .annuitants are at
present entitled to ballot for trus-.
tees.
Millers' measure would place the
management of the pension fund
in the hands of the board. The
superintendent of public instruction
would be president of the board and
the state treasurer member. In
addition, three members would be
named by the governor for terms of
three years each. None of the
members of the board serving on
July 1, 1919, would be affected by
the new legislation.
In order to provide for a method
of public endorsement which
might guide the governor in the
question of appointment, the bill
proposes that persons wishing to
serve on the board make the fact
known my petition. Each petitioner
would require the names of not less
than 100 contributors or annuitants
and the petitions would be filed
with the governor by the superin-
tendent of public instruction not
less than 20 days prior to the date
appointments shall become effect
i've.
No person might serve as trus-
tee who is not a contributor or az
nuitant.
The measure defines the word
teacher" to include substitute
teachers provided the substitute
shall be employed for the school
year and paid monthly for such SER
vice"

Harry Carey has an initial. It's D.
He stopped using it because several
exhibitors in an effort to be Frenchy
and artistic in their advertising
used the stars name thus-Harry

Japanese people spell his name
