RETAIL TRADE IS
GROWING BETTER
Influence of Holidays and Price
Cutting Mercantile Agencies
=" Are Having Effect.

While retail trade reports show a
slight Improvement during the week,
general reports on trade prices and
industry reveal cross-currents, some
in the direction of improvement.
while others show recessionS.
The influence OF the holidays added
10 price cutting has caused consider
able improvement. The wholesale
trade, however. is little changed.
with the exception that In few
cases where deep cuts have been
made in prices some jobbers and re-
lailers have been induced to purchase
TOR post-holiday sales.
General industry, however, is
slower. and unemployment has in
creased. according to trade reviews
issued today There is a more cheer
full tone in speculative markets after
renewed breaks and commodity prices
show some advances. although iron
and steel have gone lower.
Dun's Review says: "SiEns OF bet
terment in business and sentiment. Ii
slow to appear. arc rather more dts
tinct in certain quarters. The retail
movement, although lacking the de-
sired breadth. is accelerated as the
oolidays draw nearer, and some pri-
mary markets are recovering little
from their lethargy.
BUYERS INTEREST TREAwAkENED.
while prices Invariably place u
temporary check on operations. there
usually a point at which buyers
interest viii be reawakoned. the Re-
Nicw says. and this basis is apparently
being approached In some leading
lines Yet the whole situation is un-
even and uncertain, as Is natural in a
time OF read djustment. and the general
policy is one OF { . 'rring important
action until conditions become more
sable.
After the turn of tho year, when re-
suits OF inventorying and Christmas
irade shall have been made known.
he future business outlook may seem
less obscure.
Attention nov IS largely, conc-n,
trated on the probable volume az
retail trade before and after the hol.
days" Brsdstrcets point out.

'ASTONISH1NG,' SAYS
HEALTH INSPECTOR
OF MOLINE CASES

Inspectors for the state and mu-
nicipal health survey now under
way in Moline have found some as
tonishing conditions throughout
Moline, according to Paul l.. Skoog,
of the state department of public
health, who is in charge of the
work. Many cases of communicable
diseases are being found every day
that have not been reported to the
city physician. Immediate action
against those responsible for this
condition is contemplated Mr..
Skoog says there are many cases
Of measles and whooping cough,
where the physician is not called in
and no quarantine Is established.
Every case Of this kind that is dis
covered by the health authorities
will Immediately be prosecuted. Mr.
Skoog said that every physician
who neglects or refuses to report
contagious or infectious diseases
will be prosecuted.
Four inspectors are already max
ing the house to house canvass Of
Moline and are closely inspecting
all sanitary conditions. DR.. 6. w
East of the state department OF
public health, will hold his regular
clinic for crippled children, Monday
afternoon in the Red Cross rooms
Following the clinic, DR.. East will
deliver a lecture concerning child
| welfare. The lecture will be the
first Of series to be given in con-
0ection with the health survey.

Moline and East Moline
OF TEXT
BOOKS NOW IN
EFFECT STANDS


Action Of the state supreme court
this week In refusing mandamus
sought By Chicago text book pub
fishers to require Superintendent
Of Public Instruction Francis Blair
to accept revised price lists OF
school books confirms attitude Of
the Moline school board which has
consistently refused to pay for its
text books at ths publishers new
scale. II means that price lists
now in effect will continue for near
" three years under terms OF q
contract entered into two years ago
for f1ve-year period.
Revised prices would have meant
increases of nearly $1,000 in the
school book bill for Moline.
Publishers since their endeavor
to secure this new rate have listed
all orders at their proposed new
rate, regardless of the contract.
The Moline board however, sub
mitted check in payment only to
the amount of their bill under the
1917 contract.

CHURCH PLEASE;
ERECT Al. ONCE


Plans drawn by Whitsitt 1
Schulzske for a new church were
accepted by members Of Gordon
Memorial church, at q special meet
ing last evening. The architects
were instructed to call at once for
Bids. 1t is hoped that construc-
ton will be under way for the new
church as soon as frost is out of
the ground in the spring.
The site for the new church is
the corner of Fourteenth avenue
and Twenty-sixth street, Just north
OF the present Gordon Memorial
chapel. 1t is estimated that the
cost will be in the neighborho6d
OF $4,000, and calls for a financial
program that will limit other ex-
penditures for thepresent. Future
plans, however, contemplate the
penditures for the present. Future
into a parsonage for the Gordon
Memorial minister. The church
members are enthusiastic in their
coming building program. They
have been largely inspired through
visits Of Walter Spooner, state
evangelist, to Moline. Rev. Mr.
Spooner was here specially for the
meeting of last evening.

ADDITION SURVEY
Is NOW COMPLETED

Survey of Highland addition has
been completed and Highlanders
may now obtain the official street
and Mouse number of their resi-
dence. The survey was preliminary
to establishing city mail service
in the annexed territory. Numer-
GUS petitions have been received
from residents of Highland addj-
ton for city, instead of rural free
delivery service. The survey was
made at request of Alderman Frank
Herbst and is the first step neces-
safy to make the change.
The correct house number may
be obtained from the city clerk,
Miss Anna Anderson, at Moline city
hall. In order to obtain this num-
Der Highlanders must bring a de-
scription of their lot to city hall
with them. Included in this de-
scription should be the name of the
addition and the block and lot num-
Der.
Following the completion Of the
house numbering postofiice officials
will come to Moline and take what
ever other procedure is involved
in establishing city carrier service.
