The first home boy to return from
overseas duty and be honorably
discharged from the service was
First Glass YeOman Chester D.
Snyder of Lamar, who reached
home last Sunday. YeOman Snyder
may bee allied a Holly boy for the
reason that he with his parents,

Young Snyder and Chas. MOsier
were the first to enlist in the naval
service from Holly on May 8th, 1917,
when both young men went to the
Great Lakes Naval Training sta
tiOn. Chester entered as a lands
man for yeOman where he was in
training for six months and was
rapidly advanced to first class yeO-
mon. He was later assigned to the
United States Steam Ship Stewart,
q destroyer engaged in convoy
duty during the war.
YeOman Snyder reached Lamar
last Sunday and came down to
Holly Monday afternoon when he
was met at the train by delega-
tion from the High school and has
since been visiting numerous
school day friends here. Among the
functions in his honor was thea
tire party at the local picture show
Monday night and the high school
pupils gave party at the home OF
DR.. E. NJ. and Mrs. Sherman Mon
day night.
Yeoman Snyder expects to re-
sumo his former position in the

ity in California, as he had planned
before the war broke.

Chicago apparently was the place

the secret service investigation is
completed, it is said.

his discharge from prison Pierre Is
alleged to have told fellow prison.
ers he had been chosen to attack
the president. and to have added
that he would 90 to Chicago for
final instructions at I. w. w. head

former secrtary of the treasury, ac-
cording to the, secret service men.

Commercial Club Offers
Free Sight.
LOCAL CONSUMPTION Is
ENoUoH TO MAKE II PAY
Plants in Much Smaller Towns Are
Said to Be Rsnumsrativs Invest
msuts-opsration Of Ice Cream
Factory In Connection Suggested.

One of the most important mat
ters considered by the Commercial
Club at it's regular fortnightly ses-
sion Monday night was an Ice plant
for the town of Holly. The price
which local consumers have had to
pay here the past few years 81 per
hundred pOunds-tOgether with
the great Inconvenience In supply
ing the local demand have reached
condition which seems to demand
q remedy, and which, 1t would
seem from the discussion by mem
bers of the club Monday night is
not difficult of early solution.
A cent pound for lee In view OF
the alleged fact that the cost of
manufacture is little above five
cents per hundred pounds under
average normal conditions is con-
sidered not only excessive but al
most pr0hibitive. Many OF the bus
mess men have expressed them
selves rs of the opinion that an ice
plant in Holly with q capacity of
not less than ten tons per day
could be operated at good profit
and that its entire output would be
readily taken. At present the
source of Holly's ice supply is La
mar and the cost OF shipment and
handling are both unsatisfactory
and abnormally expensive.
The Commercial Club was so favor
ably impressed with the feasibility
OF the establishment Of modern
small plant here that it was finally
decided to advertise the demand
In the Kansos City Star and the
Denver Post offering q free build
ing sit to some man or corporation
who would come here and put in q
first class modern plant.
It was also suggested that an ice
cream factory might be operat-
ed in connection with this prOpOs-
ed Ice plant at a neat profit. It is
quite apparent that both an ice
plant and an ice cream factory
properly handled would be called
upon to supply many of the near
by towns In addition to the local
demand which would materially
increase the volume of business
and the profits of the business as
well.

BOOTLEGGERS TO
FIND DEAL HARD
IN MOLINE COURT

That bootIeggers who practice in
Moline are going to get $50 days in
the Moline city Jail, if they are I'M
able to pay the heavy fine, the
statement made by Magistrate
Frank Gustafson, was proven in the
sentence given TO George Brown,
Colored. self-confessed bOotlegger,
yesterday afternoon.
Brown pleaded guilty. The police
arrested him Sunday night after
having witnessed a sale. Ed Blackie,
a friend of Brown, who was arrest
ed when the police raided Brown :
room, was dismissed, as there was
no evidence that he had sold
liquor Brown was given his $50 day
sentence yesterday afternoon by
Magistrate Gustafson.
Yesterday morning Brown tried
to bargain with Magistrate Gustaf-
son, asking how much the fine
would be if he plead guilty.
The judge explained that the
court was no bargaining place and
that he must either plead guilty or
stand trial. Browns fine amounted
to 500. but he didn't have the
money.
All bootleggers will find dealing
with the court hard. They won't
peddle any more whisky in Moline
said Magistrate Gustafson, land
this will be a lesson 10 others OF
Browns kind that they cant sell
booze here"

STORM SATURDAY
NIGHT WILL COST
CITY NEAR $500

AS a result of Saturday nights
rainstorm the cleaning of streets
and sidewalks and their repairing
will cost the city of Moline, 81. 500.
Work on the cleaning will start to-
morrow, stated Commissioner Eric
son. today.
Some of the most needed work TO
be done will be repairing of dam
aged terraces and walks, especially
near the Moline high school where
a large part of the sidewalk and
paving is washed out and another
part undermined; at the east end
of Fifth avenue which is covered
with quantities of dirt washed
down from Fiftieth, Fifty-third AMI
F'ifty-fourth streets; unpaved hill
streets where extensive repairing
must be done and cross streets at
the foot of the hill streets where
mud, washed down from the bluff,
must be cleared away.
Easements in the lower end of
town are still full of water. The
storm drain built a year ago at
First street saved hundreds of fam
lilies from serious damage One man
has reported that he lost several
hundred dollars worth of grain and
two of his ponies were nearly
drowned.
One thing that the storm demon
strated, was the need of a new
storm drain in the bluff district,
where there is only one sewer to
take care of the entire southwest
part of the city.

gram to Springfield asked that the
repeal be supported.

Politicians Organize Club to Boost

and the city in general. The bylaws
also provide that no one man hold

tions and constructive criticism.
Considerable time was devoted
last evening to discussion of the
