Moline and Eaa Moline
EAST Moline IS
HAVING BIG Time
Labor Day Community Celebration
Draws Big Crowd-ParaAe Is
Feature Of Morning.

Fair weather today brought out
a record-breaking crowd in East
Moline, and the first community
Labor LAY celebration is a huge
success, according to Carl Mitchell
and his aides, who have worked
hard to plan the affair.
The parade was the big attrac-
ton this morning and 40 floats and
several hundred marchers were in
line, This afternoon at the high
school athletic field program OF
sports and other entertainment is
being carried out.
Business men and shop men
have enthusiastically signed up

ious prizes offered. The tug-of-

sport, entries in that being heav-
lest of all.

BELGIANS IN LEAD
IN CITIZEN CLASS

Belgian aliens again lead in
numbers in the September class of
entries for citizenship who will be
given final examinations before
Jurge G. o. Dietz the 22nd of this
month Of the class of SO eligi-
bles, 81 are Belgians, nine are
Swedish, two Scotch, two Dutch
and one each are from Austria,
Hungary, England, Greece and
Germany. According to court rec
ords there have been many more
Belgians applying for citizenship
in the last few years than any 9TH
err nationality.
1t is believed that the decrease
in the number of Swedish candi-
dates is due to the fact that the
majority Of Swedes in Moline have
long since been naturalized. There
have been no Mexican candidates
for citizenship in the list for four
years and few Italians.
Examinations are held three
times a year. Although the mum.
Der of aliens coming to Moline is
decreasing. there is no consider.
able decrease in the number apply.
ing for citizenship.
