March 3 70 Ia

Deputy Revenue Tax Collector
John D. Cooke reports fine col
lection for the month OF February.
Over 5000 was collected in Mer-
Ger county for special taxes. The
tax collector has spent . consider
able part Of his time in visiting the
outlying towns Of the county.
Today and tomorrow he will be
in Seaton, and beginning Tuesday.
March 9, he will be in his office in
the court house 1t Aledo until the
end Of the collection period, which
is March Is. Persons wishing to
get blanks for filing their returns
may do so either by seeing Mr..
Cooke or writing a request to him.
Since the Office of deputy collec-
tor was established in Mercer coun-
ty in January a great increase has
been noticed in the amount OF tax
money paid into the federal offices.
largely due to the personal efforts
of Mr.. Cooke. He has made ar
rangements to move his family to
Aledo next week and will be locat-
ed in this city permanently.
. He has arranged the following
schedule for the remainder of the
two-week period for collecting
taxes: Today and tomorrow. Sea-
ton; March 8, Matherville; March
4, Presumption; March and 6, Rey-
nolds; March s, Sherrard. and 3 10
Is, Aledo, at the court house.
Persons wishing to file their re-
turns are requested by Mr.. Cooke
to do SO as soon as possible. He
expects large 11th-hour rush and
it is evident that unless the people
of the county cooperate, great diff
ficulty will be experienced in hand
ling all the reports 1t is best for
the taxpayers to get their returns
made out as soon as possible, and
none will be found delinquent If
the correct amount Of foresight is
used. Prosecution for delinquent
federal taxpayers will be used if
the delinquency is found.

Moline and East Moline
CHURCH SURVEY Is
A BIG RELIGIOUS
EVENT IN MOLINE

HOLMES church survey will h
ono Of the biggest religious events
in the history of this community,
according to the Rev. Oliver B. En-
selman. director. The survey will
get under way early this spring
and is designed to give churches OF
this district the first definite and
detailed data with which to man
out program for q campaign that
viii develop the religious activity
OF Moline to its greatest DOS
sibility.
In the opinion Of Mr.. Enselman
Moline is. far more than tho typical
city OF this size, not q religious or
church community. It should be
according to the director Of survey
to be made by the interchurch
council. Conditions in East Mo
nne are even more abnormal, said
Mr.. Enselman. The percentage Of
church members is declared to be
A~AA>A>e AsAOAy INV duU the IdClllClGG
for attracting people to church
equally poor.
The survey will be made by vol
unteer members Of the various
churches of Moline. These sur
veyors will be instructed that they
are friendly visitors rather than
census officials. These visitors
will endeavor to learn to what
church each family in group is a
member. il not a member, what his
preferences are, and if no prefer
ences, the reason why. There will
be one friendly visitor" to every
20 families.
Rev. Mr.. Enselman stated that is
order to carry out this survey the
church council will need the active
cooperation and support of all the
civic organizations of Moline and
the passive support OF every resi-
dent Of Moline.

STUBBORN FIRE
THREATENS THE
JOHN Deere co,
Fhenaa Rensin Il Scene for ffvt
Heurs While Many Wheel
Parts are Destroyed.

A stubborn fire discovered this
morning in the dry house Ut the
John Deere Wagon Co.. in the heart
Of the Third avenue factory district
destroyed many thousand wooden
wheel parts. Every fire company In
Moline responded to the alarm
which was turned in At $40 and 1t
was IL before orders were issued
allowing them to return to the sta
tons. It is thought the fire had
been burning for several hours be-
fore watchmen discovered smoke
coming from the doors. F1remen
are Of the opinion it was caused
BY spontaneous combustion in the
huge stock Of closely packed spokes
and other wheel parts which were
stored in the house for curing. AS
soon as doors were opened it was
found the house was filled with a
dense smoke and it was an hour
later that this condition had been
cleared so firemen could enter the
building.
Several lines of hose were laid to
the house from the various by
drants on the property and the con-
tents were thoroughly soaked be-
fore the firemen could see to get to
the interior. Thousands Of parts
were piled closely and from the ap-
pearance of the stacks, it was ap-
parent they had been burning for a
long time. Some Of the piles were
totally destroyed while others were
SO badly charred it will be impos-
sible to use them.
While firemen were fighting the
fire, work at the plant was conun-
ued. The dryhouse is closed tight
ly and there are no employees in the
building except to remove the CURED
parts. 1t is thought the loss occas-
toned by the fire will amount to
several thousand dollars. Officials
of the company have not as yet es-
timated the exact loss. The build
ing, which is OF brick with metal
doors and castings, was not dam
aged.
E. E. Parsonage, superintendent
of the plant, could give no explana-
ton as to the origin of the blaze,
stating it would not be possible to
determine the cause until after an
inspection. The sprinkler system
in building worked perfectly, he
stated, and kept the blaze down to
point where it could be controlled
by the firemen.

time to the effect that service on

were found to be without founda-
ton after an investigation in this
city.
1t has been thought by several
local citizens that the Rock Island
Southern would be unable to fur
niSh train service after the gov
eminent control was lifted. This
proved to be merely rumor. II Is
said that electric service may be
resumed within few weeks. Con-
firmation of this statement has not
been secured. however. s.
Government operation of the
Rock Island Southern was not in
effect until the road was taken over
by the Rock Island road in the mid
die of January This action fol-
lowed by a complete shutdown of
two weeks. The lack OF service
during that tile was said to be
caused by breakdown in the
plant at Matherville, but later it
was claimed that the shutdown was
an effort to force government con-
troll of the road.
After much elaboration and con-
troversy between the heads of the
Southern system and the govern
ment officials. the service was re-
sumed on the road with one steam
train daily for Aledo and other
towns along the line. Later this
was increased to two trains, which
schedule is now in effect 1t is not
known whether or not this sched-
ule will be improved in the near fu-
ture.

WEAK POSITION

STOCKS BOOM

New York, March There was
q sharp break among leading Is
sues today on the stock exchange.
Much Of the early advances I'm rails
and associated industrials was lost
within the first hour, when pres
sure against motors, oils, steels,
textiles and feathers resulted in
extreme reactions Of 2 to Z points.
The shorts evidently based their
further aggression on last weeks
return OF the federal reserve banks,
which made only slight improve
ment from their recent unfavorable
position. Buying Of rails dimin-
ished with the progress of the ses-
sion and trading In other quarters
OF the list dwindled. The foreign
exchange market was firm and call
money opened and renewed at 10
per cent.
New York, March 1-(1o:3o q.

private operation stimulated
further buying Of railway shares
and kindred equipments at the
opening Of today's stock market.
