ed for building, electrical and water
and sewer permits issued to the
corporation by City Clerk w. Dale

1t cost the government 1920 for
the building permits alone. The
total expended in the erection of

Seventh street and Deere tract
projects, amounts to $381,621.
Electrical permits cost the cor
poration $126, and the remainder,

CHICAGO RULING
A HOPEFUL SIGN
Many Believe That Refusal to
Grant Fare Increase May
Help Tri-Cities.

Will the Illinois utilities com
missions refusal to grant 7-cent
fare for the surface street car lines
of Chicago have any effect on its
answer to the Tri-City Railway
company's petition for 7-cent fare
in Moline. Rock, Island, East Mo-
line and Silvis?
Many interested in the Chicago
company's request and of that in
this locality, believe that the decis-
ion is a hopeful sign here Others
believe that there is no connection
with the two conditions.
James Johnston, Moline city at
torney, says that the conditions are
different, but states that there is
hopeful sign. The commission
indicated that the deficit of the Chi
cago companies be met by commu-
tation in the city's share of the
profits" said the attorney. The
quad-cities here do not share in
the profits of the Tri-City Railway
company as Chicago shares in the
gains of the street car company
operating there. The cities here
receive no share at all"
Several hearings for the COM
pany's petition have been held. The
petition was first filed last October.
The last hearing was held in Mo-
line in January, at which time the
commission re-suspended the i'll
crease for at least six months.

READ, SAYSL0U
HARRIS TO men
Make knowledge of Today a Part of
Yourself, Says County School
superintendent

Seek in making knowledge OF to-
day a part of yourself, radiate it to
your neighbors, to the men and
women you meet daily and you be-
come a big factor for good in your
community" said Miss Lou M. Har-
ris, Rock Island county superin-
tendent of schools, to the Bluff
Mems club of Moline last night. Miss
Harris plea was that greater gen.
eral knowledge of local and nation
al affairs, which today are written
in standard magazines, boiled down
to concise paragraphs and told in a
few words, become a part of ones
daily life. Miss Harri compared the
simplicity in which news articles
are written today with the SIM
plicity in eating as was taught by
Herbert Hoover.
Ignorance is bliss" said Miss
Harris. but it doesn't keep you out
Of trouble. You've got to be inform
ed. You can't live and be positive
force in your community unless you
assert yourself-use your knowl-
cage LOT the Things II IellS you To-
day there are those who would dc
tate to US what America, what you
and / should do and unless we have
knowledge of world affairs we shall
not be able to defend our interests.
You need not be afraid of making
enemies because you have convIc-
tons"
The school uperintendent urged
that children be taught what re-
possibility and INDEPENDENCE mean
while they are young. A child
should be. taught to act independ-
emily and profit through early mis-
takes, said Miss Harris. She declar-
ed that church and state and other
moulders of thought found express
sion in the ultimate life of the COM
so that general knowledge
of all these subjects is a prerequis-
tie of the good citizen of today.

SAN JOSE SCALE
INFECTION HITS
TREES; MAY DIE

An infection known as the San
Jose scale is attacking the trees in
this vicinity and throughout the
country. It's visit here probably is
due to the mild winter. The infec-
ton appears to have particularly
taken to the elm and apple trees
and many will die, as the proper
time to have them treated was in
the winter
Only one thing that can be done
now to save the trees is to make
lime-sulphur solution. using one
pound of lime-sulphur to three gal
Ions of water and to apply this So
luton with brush, exercising care
not TO touch the foliage. About
May 10, or little later, the solution
should be applied to the trunks
of cherry and plum trees,
going down some two inches under
the ground.
W. C. Wilson has placed on dis
play at the Moline public library
some infected branches.

gardens and home vegetable gar
dens, clean yards and attractive

advise them to stop. Shrubbery
planted about foundations of the
house will add greatly to tho
beauty of your home, and also vines
