Tn this little story We must turn from
our consideration of the Middle Ages

TO the happenings among the various
groups of peoples.
AS we know, there were now two great
divisions Of what once had been the Ro-

There was the Eastern Empire. which
was one in language and in which learn
ing was In a measure diffused among the
people, instead of being confined to the
clergy as was the case in the Western
Empire.
Then there was the Western Roman
Empire, the titular head OF which was
a German king. But even this part OF
the old Roman world was divided with
others who spoke languages almost as
different from his tongue as his laa-
euase was different from the old Ro-
man speech.
At the very beginning We must re-
member that because prince succeeded

Saving Our History.

6THE state of Wyoming now has an Of
fetal historian whose duty it is to
u visit the families of pioneer settlers
and learn from their lips stories of the
early days of the state
The person chosen for this task is wo-
man who has herself recently located and
developed claim of 100 acres which she
has turned from raw prairie to produc-
tive farm. She has already served her state
as deputy treasurer and as director of the
state workmen's compensation depart

Renaissance Of those pioneers who moved
west as the east became crowded, and who
opened up and developed that vast region
Is growing rarer. Interested in such tales
too, seems sometimes to lessen in these
days OF machinery, efficiency, everything
lltra-mOdern. Nevertheless many of our
finest national characteristics have come
to us through the courage and determine
ton and great effort of those pioneers.
AS nation we have grown SO fast and
SO successfully that we are sometimes in
cllned to forget the characters building. ira
dltion-nlallng struggles of our more recent
pioneers. We turn in admiration chiefly
to the heroic people who came to our east
ern shores from foreign lands and forget
the latter ones who struck out just as cour-
ageonsIy to settle the unknown west.
The Wyoming historian will perform 4
worthy service for Americans in every
state IN the Union, as well as her own. if she
successfully captures and holds the fleet
ing vision Of those days and the people
Whom we should be proud to remember and
honor. Other states which have not al
ready done something of the kind should
follow Wyoming's example.

Add TO these problems the power of
the popes and of the clergy and their

with which to reckon. Then consider
the rise of the towns as Independent

that made these very troubled times.
The problems that beset Frederick the
Second-somewhat justly called 1.-THE
Wonder of the World" because he had
perhaps the greatest natural talents of
any king who ever reigned. and In
thought and learning was far ahead Of
his time-exemplify this point. His own
kingdom was Sicily. but he was crowned
emperor and ruled over Germany and
Italy as well.
In Germany he had great trouble to
hold his throne. In Italy he quarrelled
with the popes one after another, was
accommodated several times and other
kings chosen In his stead. In both king
doms he was compelled to put down civil
wars. And he had great differences with
tho rising trading cities that became
commemorative. Yet Frederick the Sec
ond managed to rule for 30 years.

consider that the power Of the Western
Empire a. the great leading state of

yer which was showed into his face

One of them carried a revolver.
Throw up your hands, said the
man with the gun and showed the
weapon in Aliens face. That's
when Allen turned his back on the
gun and ran. That is all Mr.. Allen

ROAD COMPANY
PLANS BUILDING
Large Concrete Stack to Be Added
to Moline Power Plant of
Tri-City Railway.

An improvement to be complet-
ed this summer and to add much
to the efficiency of the power plant
serving the public utilities of the
tri-cities was announced today by
officials of the Tri-City Railway
company.
A large concrete stack to cost
approximately $4,000 will be
erected at the power plant on
Fourth street. Moline. The new
stack is made necessary as the
present stacks have beer erected
for manly years and their efficien-
cy is now considered impaired
Few other improvements are plan
ned this year owing to the de-
crease in the utility cOmpany's in
come which has caused the pend
ing fare increase in Davenport
Rock Island, Moline and East Nc
line.
The erection of the large stack
is regarded as necessary at this
time Specifications prepared by
G. T. Shoemaker, electrical engi-
neer of the United Light & Rail
ways company, were sent out for
bids today. The immense stack
will be 237 feet high 1t will be
built of reinforced concrete The
size is also evident from the in
terror dimensions. The diameter
at the top will be Is feet, 6 inches.
1t is planned to begin work on
the new stack next month. Its
erection will entail the taking
down of eight steel stacks now in
use at the Moline power plant.
