and would be worth ali that they
would cost. He said that he wanted
to build all the main roads into the
county seat, that he did not want to be
selfish in the matter, and that if he
thought that the road program would
stop with two or three roads that he
would be against the whole question
Squire Thomas Y, English offered
an amendment to submit the entire
question to vote of the people on
Nov. 2. Squire Orr in a brief argu
ment that aroused considerable en-
thusiasm among the advocates Of the
measure moved to table the amend
mcnt. Squire Orr declared that mod
ern conditions made it imperative
that system of permanent hard sur
face roads should be constructed. He
said that the roads that we now had
would not meet the demands of the
times, that railroad traffic could not
be handled and that good roads
would be needed to move the bust
ness of the nation.
In an impassioned address that
aroused the opponents of the bonds to
the highest pitch of enthusiasm,
Squire English argued against the
resolutions. He attacked the state
highway commission for its mistakes
and errors and deception. He said
that the state commission had not
been fair with the people of the coun-
ty; that the members were either ig
norant or they had purposelyl deceiv
ed the public. t.. HHftU s-ts
Judge Whitthorne called Squire
Ross to the chair and delivered a very
earnest appeal to the members Of the
court against the passage of the pend
Ing resolutions. Judge Whitthorne
discussed at length the various steps
that had been taken by the court, the
letting of the contract at $4,000 a
mile, the approximate cost that
would come from damages to abutting
property owners, for rights of way,
|, etc. Judge Whitthorne argued that
this was the most inauspicious time
in the world to issue bonds, that the
dollar was cheap now but the debts
would have to be paid in high dol
lar. He said that the highway de-
p2rtments of this and other southern
states had appealed to the people to
cease road construction at this time.
Judge Whitthorne was warmly .ap-
plauded by the opponents of the
! bonds.
There were a number Of other brief
addresses and then Col. Thomas H.
PEBBLES took the floor in opposition.
Col. PEBBLES awoke the echo with a
denunciation of bond issues without a
vote of the people and without know
Jig what the roads would cost.
The crowd that almost filled the cir
cult court room was about equally di
vided between the advocates and the
oponents of the measure, judging by
Tie volume of applause. The crowd
was not as great as that which assem-
\ bled in May.

would provide a demonstration farm
for every county of Tennessee, which
he said would be Of untold benefit not
only to the farmers but would be for
the public welfare.
Governor A. H. Roberts was unable
to attend and fill his speaking engage
ment on the afternoon program owing
to the converting Of the state legisla-
ture in special session. He notified
the convention of this fact by tele-
phone after he had found 1t utterly
impossible to break away from his Of
fetal duties.
DR.. H. A. Morgan, president of the
University of Tennessee and dean Of
the College of Agriculture, substituted
for the governor, speaking on the sub
ject of education.
"Great battles are to be waged in
time of peace as in times Of war;" be-
gan Doctor Morgan. These four
things will do more to save this gen.
Grafton and future generations than
even the fourteen points. They are
universal education; universal inter
est in food, shelter and raiment; eco.
monte justice, and living according to
the law of God.
Universal education must become
the adopted program of every citizen.
The problem of elementary education
Is one of the most serious questions
Of the day. Poorly paid and ineffi-
cient teachers will Inevitably have
their effect upon the third and fourth
generations of our children"
Prof Brown, state high school in
spector, was called upon by DIR. Nor
gan to make short talk before the
convention upon the schools of Ten.
nessee. He made some statements
that were eye-openers to men assem-
oled at the meeting. Then he asked
Tor hands up of all those who had Wis
tied the public school in their com.
munities during the past year. About
i've per cent responded. This per cent
existed among a bunch of farmers
which were the most progressive in
the state.
DR.. Morgan then resumed the floor
and told the convention that he saw
10 bright future for the citizenry Of
Tennessee unless the farmers would
take hold Of rural education and make
t function. He came out strongly for
he consolidated school as opposed
to the old one-teacher, type of school.
HE also took, issue concerning the ten
ancy system OF the state, making the
assertion that fly per cent ofthei soil
tillers of Tennessee are tenant farm
ers. This is a dangerous situation

in this country will be determined in

It was . red letter day for Lin
coin park yesterday when fully 900
residents OF the bluff district held
an old fashioned picnic and outing
there as fitting close Of the play
ground season. Visitors, especially
those who frankly confessed they
were not aware that, such : reserve
existed before, we're heartily well
coined for one of the main pur-
poses OF the community play day,
as the event was christened, was to
popularize the strip OF woodland
lying between Thirty-eighth and
Forty-first streets and Eighth and
Eleventh avenues that has been Z
public park for the last eight years.
Lincoln park community believes It
will some day blossom out into
Rock Islands most popular park
and picnic grounds, its location
with q view overlooking the entire
Mississippi valley, making it ideal
for such purpose.
That the future Of the park lies
entirely with the people Of Rock Is
land, is the view held by Mayor
Harry M. Schriver, who made q
brief but effective talk upon the
subject at the gathering yesterday.

stated. in my opinion it is a ques-
ton for the people themselves to
decide as fully third of the funds
raised to purchase the site, eight
years ago, were obtained by popu-
lar subscription, the rest being
taken from the city treasury.
I'VE want to keep Augustana col.
lege in Rock Island II we possibly
can. We also want Fairgrounds fol
our boys and girls. It's q hard

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is
pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than anything else you
can use for shampooing. as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abun-
dance Of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle OF
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy te
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store
1t is very cheap, and a few ounces
Is enough to last everyone in the
family for months.-(Adv.)
