BURNED CHILD
WILL RECOVER

Unless complications set in,
Nathan Norton, the 5-year-old boy
who was severely burned while
playing with a bonfire last Satur-
day, will recover. His condition
has been critical all week and his
suffering intense but the nurse be-
lieves the worst is over and that
the child will live.
1t has taken a week for hospital
authorities to make definite state
ment regarding his condition. The
boys practically-asured recovery
is. looked upon as remarkable con-
sidering the seriousness and ex-
tent of his injuries.
Nathan is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. C. Norton, 1411 Eleventh street
The accident which came SO near
costing him his life, occurred late
Saturday afternoon while he was
trying to restart a bonfire that had
been built by his father in the real
of the Norton home. The boys pre-
dicament was not discovered until
he was a mass of flames. His arms
legs and abdomen were deeply
scared by the burns.

NAY BENEFIT
EAST MOLINE
Business Men See n States Rbad
improvement Plan Boost to
Henry Country Trade.

II the new state roads campaign
Is carried out it may result in con-
siderable benefit to East Moline, is
the belief Of East Moline business
men. Dispatches from Springfield
announced yesterday that seven
miles Of grading on the East Mo-
line-Princeton highway In Henry
county had been awarded the Cog
gin Construction company OF Ar
cola on its bid of $50 ,552.0S. which
will mean the building OF q hard
dirt road that will extend up to
the eastern approach to the Colona
bridge. Thus East Moline will be
separated from Henry county trade
by only three miles of unimproved
roadway.
The strip of road between East
Moline and the bridge has never
been particularly good for traffic,
but has been improved from time
to time. The approach to the
bridge and several of the worst
spots in the road were repaired
this spring by volunteer Rotarians
who spent several days patching
up the washed-out roadbed. They
were assisted by business men
from Moline. The states decision
to extend the improvements to the
Henry county line may result in
the building OF paved highway
from the heart of the East Moline
business district to the bridge.

TEACHERS FACE
ROOM SHORTAGE

Shortage OF rooms to accommo-
date new faculty members is one
OF the many eleventh hour prob
lens facing the Moline board of
education today. School authorities
we're never SO hard pressed for
rooms for teachers as this fall. U.s.
ual lists Of available houses were
exhausted early in the week and
since then miniature housing bu-
reau has had to be opened to re-
lieve the situation. Some new
members Of the faculty are search
Ing for residence for rental and
scores Of others are stopping at ho-
tells while searching for permanent
rooming houses.
From present indications grade
schools Of the city reinforced by
the new Logan school will be able
to accommodate the enrolment.
The high school and some of the
central grade schools, due to rec
ord breaking enrolment this year,
will probably be congested for the
first few weeks. Advanced regis
tration and other precautions taken
to guard against delay, is expected
to eliminate confusion on the open
ing day, however.

WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Aug. %. - Grains and
provisions fluctuated during the
past week. At times prices sank
due to favorable weather and
heavy markets elsewhere, but this
was Offset by talk Of a financial
stringency and a good buying de-
mand for export. Compared with a
week ago wheat this morning was
4%c lower to 4c higher; corn was
1hc down to 1%c up, oats ranged
from hc lower to Inc higher,
while provisions ruled SC to 55c
higher.
The wheat market underwent
numerous fluctuations. At one time
March was under such heavy pres
sure that it sold at a discount un-
der December. This was due to
heavy buying of December and sell
ing of March. A fairly good export
business was done with France and
Italy and offerings as whole
were light. Fear Of Canadian COM
petition was on an increasing scale
and this had its effect.
Corn, like wheat, was unsettled
there being considerable free sell
ing which caused a lower tone but
buying by strong commission
houses frmed prices. At one time
there was a spread Of around "a
cents between September and De-
cember deliveries. The federal re-
serve bank statement was construed
as a bearish factor while transpor-
tation facilities carried some
weight. Short coverings toward
the end caused the market to firm
with wheat.
Trade in oats started slow, but
on short covering and buying by q
strong commission house it became
strong. When commission houses
got on the selling side, the market
became depressed and finished I'M.
der pressure. -
Provisions, as a whole, displayed
considerable strength, due to al
improved export demand and high
er prices in hogs.
