Greece Snuflcd Ont Tcr,itorially

THE night OF Greecc's martyrjom
was not under the Roman yoke but
IN the long period from the fall Of
EVzantlum TO modern times. During
that time Greece was all but snuffed
out territorially while the blood Of
lts people suffered dilution from the
hofues or Conquerors and immigrants
or almost every nation OF Europe that
poured IN upon t-Albanians SlavS,
leutons, Spanish, French, Venetians,
Turks In 1869 TurkCT finally gained
complete dominance OF what had been
Greece
Greece, as nation, was born again
III NV as result OF iB most turbu-
lent war Of independence against
turkey, which was at the same time Il
series OF civil wars among COntcndinE
leaders and factions. The new Greece
winch emerged under the joint pro-
lection OF Great Britain, France and
ltuss1a comprised besides the Cyclades
Islands and the nearby PclopOnneSuS,
| n strip or land about 40 miles wide
across the peninsula north OF the
PcloponnosuS. 1t has been the con-
Stant ambition Of modern Greece to
push its bouUGaricS outward from this
region WI IN it considers only nu-
clcuS, until much if not all OF liCllas
irrid"nlH' should hr included. This
iamDi(iOn has led to 4 continuous HCrlCs
OF internal crises and external wars.

ENLARGEMENT OF
DISTRICT UP TO
NEIGHBOR TOWNS

Extension of boundary limits of
the United Township high school Of
East Moline to include Silvis, Car
bon Cliff, Barstow and perhaps
Hampton, as proposed by the school
board few weeks ago, is entirely
in the hands Of the districts con-
cerned, according to Professor ].
w. Casio, superintendent.
$50 far as I know nothing more
will be done by our local board re-
garding the matter" Mr.. Casio said
today. AT our last meeting we
signified our willingness to con-
slider such q merger if the small
communities were willing. 1t is
up to them to take the next step"
The movement has been inspired
by desire to enlarge the activity
of East Moline school and to pro-
vide greater and more effective
educational facilities for the small
er surrounding communities. The
united township building is large
enough to accommodate many more
students if an adequate teaching
staff is, provided.
Action to extend the boundary
lines could not be legally taken
without the consent of three-fOurths
Of the inhabitants of the school
district, and permission of the ex-
officio school board, who would
have to be petitioned BY the resi-.
dents of the school district.

LIVE STOCK men
IN MEET today
Mercer County Shippers Consider
Formation of Commission Firm
for Marketing.

At 2 O'Clock this afternoon a
large number of farmers of Mer-
Ger county gathered in the city hall
auditorium in Aledo to discuss the
advisability of forming livestock
marketing commission firm IN Chi
cago and st. Louis, in connection
with the Illinois Agricultural asso-
citation. All veterinarians OF Mer-
Ger county were invited to take
part in the discussion of farmers
vaccinating their own herds.
Mercer county farmers especial
~ are interested in the formation
of a commission firm in the princi-
pal livestock centers, as hundreds
of animals are shipped to market
from here each month. Mercer
county ranks high among the live
stock centers Of the country and
provides a great share of the hogs
and cattle for slaughter.
Professor Herbert Mumford OF
the livestock marketing commits
sion of the Illinois Agricultural as
ISOLATION was present to address
the farmers on the commission
plan.
1t is probable that the farmers
of this county will take definite &C
ton toward forming the commits
sion firm, as they are deeply inter
ested in the subject and have often
been heard discussing the present
plans of selling through other
firms.

CORN OF COUNTY
OUT OF DANGER
Farmers Consider Chances Excel.
lent for Bumper Crop-Light
Frost Here Last Night.

Farmers OF Mercer county pre-
dict that frost can now do no harm
to the corn crop in this district
Men, old in the game Of raising
corn, are emphatic in declaring that
one Of the largest crops ever har-
vested in Mercer county will be
picked this year. Early risers in
this community reported this morn
ing that q light frost was noticed
in the lowlands of the county. Lit
tie damage, if any, was done, how
ever.
Predictions of a heavy frost to-
night gave rise to the question OF
whether or. not the corn of Mercer
county was mature enough to with
stand the effects of the freezing.
Most farmers agree that the corn
in this vicinity is ripe enough and
no damage will be done by the
frost, however.

SILvlS PUTS ON
new TEACHER
Mss Davis Added to Staff to Re
lleye Crowded Conditions
Enrolment Increases.

Miss Leona Davis has been added
to the teaching STAFF OF the Silvis
public schools. Superintendent Paul
g. Silas announced today. She is
instructor Of the second and third
grades at the Mckinley school
building, which grades are greatly
congested this year.
Enrolment in the Silvis schools
is increasing daily. Mr.. Silas states
and is at present close to 500. The
faculty star now boasts IA men,
bers ifcluding a music supervisor,
but is still inadequate to properly
instruct the pupils. The problem
facing the Silvis board is not the
securing of more room but more in
structors. Glass rooms available at
present are large enough to accom-
modate even more students, Mr.
Silas said, but all teachers have
more students in their care than
they can conveniently instruct.
Superintendent Silas was unable
to state just how great the increase
| is over last year but stated that
! while the first grade had approx
mately the same number enrolled
all other grades were crowded.
May Remodel Basement.
The problem of securing rooms
| to accommodate the overflow Of
pupils in the East Moline schools
has not as yet been solved. The
basement of the First Baptis
I church on Seventeenth avenue ant
Ninth street has been suggested tt
