engineer for the concern asked
that time be extended to give the
manager a chance to take action of

not his desire to have the avenue
closed to traffic, but that the con-
dition of the paving and foundation
for the tracks was in such poor
condition that the avenue was con-
sidered a menace to the city. 1t
is said that damage has been caused
to automobiI by the tires being

INTO NEXT WEEK
(Special Moline Service }


Canvass for the SIS, 900 fund for
the Moline Salvation army by the

been canvassed. And about $4,000
was reported, not including the

GIVEN
AS TRIBUTE TO
MISS STOCKHAM
Rock Island Girl Makes LocS
Debut as Screen Star With
Theatre of Blossoms.

Miss Edith Stockham OF this CITY
made her Rock Island debut as a
screen star at the Majestic theatre
today.
The occasion was one of almost
as much pomp as IL Miss Stocknam
had been there In person. Surely
she has always dreamed of recelY-
ing heaps of flowers across the
footlights but to have them SEM to
a theatre where she appeared only
in the film, perhaps she had never
gone so far as to build dreams upon.
But the truth is. the Majestic
theatre was the recipient of a nam
Der of boxes of flowers, sent from
admiring Rock Island friends, TO
make Miss Stockham's debut in tnis
city. even though only on the cell
luloid, as much like one on the
"legit" as possible.
Manager Joe Quinn did not know
what to make Of it at first when he
saw box after box of flowers ar
rive in rapid succession. In fact, ne
was vain enough to think that tney
were for him and got mixed up on
his dates. assuming that today was
the anniversary of his birth. But
when he glanced at the cards, he
was rapidly brought back to earth
and the dates got Strengthened out
in his mind.
Is Big Ovation.
Nevertheless, it was a big ovation
Miss Stockham received today in
her first Rock Island screen ap-
pearance and the theatre was
crowded for all shows. It is quite
possible that the picture Putting
One Over" in which Miss Stock
ham stars with George Walsh, will
be brought back at a later date as
Manager Quinn feels that not all
who would like to see it, will have
the opportunity today and tonight.

Need Humane Society.

The following communication is
gladly given space in these columns.
Read it and form your own opinion as
to the needs of humane society here.
The laws of this commonwealth do
not tolerate such cruelty and in other
communities swift justice is melted
out to the perpetrators of such in
human acts. Here is the letter:
ga lad told me at noon, that this
morning Thursday he had passed
dog in the Rhinelander road near our
school house. It was lying there
shot, but not dead yet | asked an
other lad, who was here, to go over
he found it shot right through the
hips but, in truth, not dead yet He
put it out of it's misery and upon in
quiry at the school, found that the
dog had been shot Wednesday morn
ing by someone passing in an auto
mobile, evidently just to try his
craftsmanship, without even stopping
to end the dogs suffering. It was a
rather heavy dog, something between
shepherd and collie, with red coat,
and appeared to be well cared for.

SHOWS THE NEED OF THRIFT
Wisconsin w. s. s. Educational Dl-
rector Cites Number Who Die
Without Leaving Estate.

Thomas w. Boyce, W. s s.. Educa.
tional Director of Wisconsin, in a re-
cent talk on Opportunity" showed
clearly the need of thrift education by
quoting figures showing that out of
every one hundred men who die, three
leave an estate of $4,000 or over: fif-
teen leave an estate Of $1,000 to $1O,-
600; and eighty-two leave no income
producing property. OF one hundred
widows, eighteen are in comfortable
circumstances forty-seven are obliged
to work for living, and thirty-five
are in absolute want, dependent upon
charity He quoted facts and figures
showing that the tremendous indem-
nifty imposed upon France by Germany
in 1870 taught the French to save and
was a blessing in disguise to that ma
ton. He made a strong plea for
thrift instruction, suggesting Little
Lessons in Thrift" as text material.
He also emphasized the necessity Of
using the Pupils Thrift Card, enabling
a child to make deposits Of one cent
and more.

DEER SEASON OPEN;
MANY HUNTERS HERE
Over 1000 Licenses Issued
in Wisconsin Conserva-
ton Officials Urge
Care in Woods.

With the opening of the deer sea-
son the apprehension Of the State
Conservation Commission grows apace.
AS already pointed out, the present
season bids fair to over-shadow and
out-rival anything before recorded, in
it's probable effect on the Wiscon-
sin deer herd. But the menace to the
deer is as nothing compared to the
hazard to human life, inherent in the
threatened congestion of hunters in
the northern counties of the state.
The number of deer tags issued
this season has reached the enormous
total of approximately $1,000 as
against an average of about $4,000 in
prior years The impending conges-
tion is materially augmented by the
fact that the open territory was re-
duced by the closing of Jackson, Mar
athon and Trempealeau counties. So
it must be evident to the most casual
mind that there will be hunter in
every angle of the woods. There will
be more hunters than deer in the
timber.
The commission therefore deems it
an imperative duty, officially and in
dividually, to urge upon the sports
men the greatest caution in the use
of the rifle. Any reckless discharge
of their powerful weapons at ''any-
+L;,,1- +L,o+ V,cxoe,3s M ,,sf no oopcidor
ed nothing short of deliberate crime.
Far from its being the slogan of a
real ''crack shot" we believe no true
sportsman land we have reason to
know and respect the sportsmen of
wisconsin, will be guilty of it. We
ask the hunters cooperation as man
to man, to spread this solemn word of
warning. AS a conservation measure
it is our policy to urge the sparing of
does and fawns; at least the faWns.
But in this present appeal to sport
ing manhood, frankly, shoot does and
fawnS if you must slaughter every
thing the law allows-but mark we'll
this-do not fail to look before you
shoot. Do not enter the woods with
the impression that ''the one-buck
law is dead" shoot at anything you
see that looks like deer. Let every
huntsman stay his deadly bullet UT
til he knows beyond doubt that he.
is shooting at deer, and that his
mark is not human heart.-Wis-
consin Conservation Commission.
Hunters have been pouring into
this section for the last week in num-
bers seldom reached in previous sea-
sons. The regular passenger service
has been augmented by additional
coach and baggage facilities to meet
the requirements of the hunter
traffic. The county clerks Office has
issued over 100 licenses to date. The
deer season opened today and lasts
until the end of the month.

United States, is eligible for enlist
ment for one year in the guard with
out physical examination. This is an
opportunity for these returned SOL
diers, sailors or marines to attend the
first big reunion camp next July at
state and federal expense.
The federal government will supply
uniforms, arms, equipment of the
latest standard and in greater guam

posals are now before congress to in
crease the drill pay for privates, now

MILTON COLLEGE BADLY
IN NEED OF MORE FUNDS
Money Wanted to Pay Better Salaries
to Members of FacuIty-NeW
Buildings Are Necessary.
BY WILLIAM C. DALAND
President, Milton College.

Tie most imperative need of Milton
College, one of the eight institutions
which are the members of the Wiscon.
sin Colleges Associated which is &C.
quainting the people of the state with
the problems of the privately endowed
college, is an addition to it's present
endowment sufficient to enable the col
lege to continue it's present superior
position and to retain faculty able to
handle it's work. If this need is not
met, fatal retrenchment will become
necessary An addition of $4,000 tG
it's endowment would give the college
! $350,0O0 and would meet the present
pressing demand, although a total en-.
dowment of 100000 will later be nee
essary to enable the college to take
advanced steps that are highly desir
able.
Another need is that of buildings
The first is a central heating plant
Such plant would cost approximately
$4,000. This would save the college
money and is a present vital necessity.
; The next needs, which will become
,ulOT0 duu u4OIS pIGSS1u6 as INC 0Iu'
dent body grows, are separate
library building and a new dormitory
for women. The college library has
outgrown it's room in the Whitford Me
mortal Hall, building which contains
also the scientific laboratories. A
suitable new library building would
cost approximately $4,000. A new
womens dormitory with modern equip
ment, containing two wOmen's society
rooms, could be built for $4,000. The
college has no dormitory for men.
Later highly desirable additional
building would be a music hall, con
tanning an auditorium of moderate size
which might be used for concerts and
lectures as well as for chapel services
The present chapel on the second floor
of the main recitation building is
much too small. Such music hall is
very desirable, because at present the
musical instruction is given in so
ciety room and in rooms in private
houses. Such building would require
about $4,000
