without ration, effective control
which will regulate, but not re-

NO ICE SHORTAGE
IN PLOW CITY IF
CAUTION is TAKEN

There will be no ice shortage in
Moline this year, if strict economy
is practiced.
This became evident when the
cold wave swept over the city in
the last two weeks and the Moline
Consumers Ice company was able
t. cut and store away about five
thousand tons which it had taken
from the canal at lie Claire, Iowa.
The final pound of ice of the 5000
tons was stored away by the Mo-
line company Saturday night. Cut
ting operations will be continued,
however, as long as the weather re-
mains favorable.
James p. Pearson, president of
the Moline Consumers company, is
personally directing operations so
that all the ice cut at the canal will
go to the Moline people. The
amount of ice cut will meet the
demands this spring and summer
if waste is not permitted.
1t is said that in other parts of
the country. where ice has been
loaded on freight cars for shipment
the railroad has seized the goods
for its own use.

MOLINE MASONS
PLAN BUILDING
Eight-StOry Structure at Sixteenth

Masonic orders of Moline are

southeast corner of Sixteenth street

sons home Committees of the
Doric lodge, Moline lodge and Zal
grotto have been appointed and will
meet shortly to outline plans for
the purchase of the structure
The growing activities of the Mo

building. It is yet undecided
whether the home shall be a tenn
pie or commercial building.
Should the building now under con
sideratiOn and to which a title is
held by the Doric lodge, be pur-
chased, it is probable that the
structure will be a commercial one.
Members of the Masonic lodges
have gained experience from the
Rock Island order When the Rock
Island fraternity built its temple,
it did not take into consideration

itself in an inadequate building
The Moline Masons are planning on
an eight-story structure sufficient
for future needs.
Previous to the war the Moliners
drew up plans to build a home, but
with the interference of the world
struggle the plan was abandoned.

the lodge members will also be

floors could be utilized to furnish
