Harvesting OF ice on Rock river
will start Friday. from present In
dications. The ice is reported to-
day to have reached thickness Of
10 to II inches. and authorities on
the subject predict good harvest
for this year. The principal cutters

ing the season a contract total OF
about 1900 tons will be supplied
the Rock Island lines. In all. some
thing more than 10000 tons will be
harvested II the weather holds fav-
orable for their purpose.
= Mississippi After Rock River.
Ice harvesting will not be begun
on the Mississippi until the work is
finished on the smaller river. The
crust is gradually becoming thicker
on the Mississippi, and in short
time will be suitable for starting
the work of cutting. 1t is believed
that by late January the ice on the
big river will be in perfect shape
and able to support all the harvest
ing apparatus, SO that at the COLI
pletion of the Rock river work the
same crews can be shifted to the
fresh field,

WILL SOMEONE
GIVE SLED TO
3 POOR BOYS?

This is a story about three husky
little poor boys of Rock Island,
who were promised a sled for
Christmas by their father-he
couldn't buy 1t for them sooner
and then their dear daddy died.
only a month ago. and all their
fine dreams of the coasting and
sliding, that all boys love in the
winter time, quickly vanished.
1t was the first snowfall of the
year and these little chaps wanted
to get out on the hills with the
other boys. Eagerly they asked
their father for a sled. lone like
Jimmie has," they preferred, but
Jimmie's sled was very expensive,
and the father sadly told his sons
that he couldn't get 1t for them at
that time. But you will have one
Christmas" he promised them, and
their hearts were happy again.
Then short time later the faith
er died and the boys knew then
that without daddy there would be
no sled at Christmas time. But we
believe there is someone in this big
city who has q sled he would glad
ly give these boys. and The Argus
makes this plea that the fathers
promise may be fulfilled on Christ
mas morning.
The Argus Santa Claus cannot
afford to buy sleds and as rule
does not ask for used articles, but
in this particular case it is felt
there must certainly be some
grOwn-up boy with a sled stored
away somewhere about his home
who would be glad to give it to
these poor youngsters. The boys
are husky chaps. so the sled must
be good, strong one, II It Is &c
serve them long. The Argus Santa
Claus would greatly appreciate 4

promise of sled, would telephone
