CITY PLOTS
Two Hundred Lots Available for
School Riddles Used IN Three
Sections.

Two hundred lots In three sec
lions of Moline will be available for
community and school gardens this
year. according to Lewis A. Mahos
ney, superintendent Of schools, who
today took up plans for the annual
assignment of lots made April Is.
Size of tracts and location will be
determined by number Of appli-
cants for gardens. School gardens.
for which prize awards will be made
at the annual exhibit next fall, will
be apportioned and the contest en-
tries received at the time the COM
munity garden work is under way.
The principal garden plots will
be the Deere tract, Ninth street and
Thirteenth avenue, Velie tract at
Twenty-thirf avenue and Twelfth
street and the Christophersen tract,
Sixteenth avenue and Twenty-sev-
enth street, but garden contestants
will be encouraged in cultivation OF
back-lot gardens.
Congressman w. ]. Graham has
notified Mr.. Mahoney that he will
forward government seeds for free
distribution among gardeners and
the Moline Pillow company, it is an
nounced. will pillow and harrow the
larger fields, although shortage OF
labor makes it impossible to give
attention to the smaller plots as in
late years.

THRIFT COURSES
ARE COMPULSORY

Courses in thrift will become
practically compulsory in Illinois
schools according to Interpretation
of the governors of the seventh
federal bank district upon action of
the Illinois State Teachers associa-
ton in naming a committee of five
to outline such study program.
Lewis A. Mahoney, superintendent
of Moline schools, is one of five
state educators nominated by d.
Walter Potts, president Of the as
ISOLATION to submit a study plan.
Mr.. Mahoney received notice of his
appointment several weeks ago.
According to the federal reserve
boards announcement, the COM
mittee will serve in an advisory
capacity to the government savings
organization in this state. and it is
expected will aid materially in abb
sorbing thrift stamps issues. Mo-
line schools found that after the
war excitement subsidized war
stamps lost their attraction to stu
dent investors and the schools re-
turned to bank savings plan.
Mrs. Alfred j. Benson. directing
school work in Illinois for the saw
ings organization in this district,
| lead in getting the teachers asso-
] citation to authorize its thrift CON-
mittee. Statistics compiled by the
American Bankers association
show that out of 100 men 65 years
of age. "a are dependent on chill
dren, relatives or charity for sup
port. This is convincing argument
| for education along these lines.

APPROPRIATION
INCLUDES PLAN
FOR new DEPOT
Mayor Skinner Explains Delay In
Passenger Station Project
-Favors Union One.

Appropriations for a new passen-
ger station in Moline are included
in the tentative budget Of the Rock
Island lines, said Mayor c. P. Skin
ner today when asked what had be-
come Of the new depot project.
The mayor is advocating a union
depot. And he wants public dis
cussing and public sentiment on a
union depot proposition before pro-
ceeding to urge upon the Rock Is
land road the construction of a new
passenger station in Moline.
Mayor Skinner declared he does
not know how definite the tentative
budget of the c.. r. 1. & P. railroad
is or how far Moliners may go in
expecting a new station in the near
future.
The subject was made a more
or less live issue by the council
several months ago when a resolu-
ton was adopted instructing the
mayor to prod the Rock Island on
the new depot project. Reversion
of all railroads to private control
has given new life to the resolution.
Mayor Skinner said he will wait
until the first rush connected with
the change in management is over
and until the union depot PROPOSE
ton is considered before acting on
the council resolution.

rains are light and the west end
territory does not suffer from many

storm drain. which was recently

promises to be legal battle.
