MANY SUGGESTIONS
COME FOR RAISING
MEMORIAL FUNDS

New York Office of Community
Service. Inc, is Offering choice Of
motion picture views or panel re-
productions of types of memorial
buildings to indicate the general
plan which the Community Ser
vice council is sponsoring. War
memorial committee of the Moline
Community Service council at its
meeting tomorrow afternoon is ex-
pected to decided upon series of
types of memorial buildings for
Moline. The motion picture plan,
it is believed, will allow greater
publicity and reach larger num-
Der of people than any other. The
slides will be loaned to Moline for
two weeks and during that period
it is proposed to arrange a contin-
uous series of talks before clubs
lodges, societies and churches. At
each showing, architects will dis
cuss the buildings and auditors will
be asked by ballot, to express their
preference Of building type.

Applies For Permit to Make Elec-

In Fifth Ward.

Edgar Owens today applied for
a permit to speak on the streets of
Moline. The application was made
to Mayor c. P. Skinner. Owens is
communist labor candidate for al
derman of the Fifth ward. He is
under indictment at Chicago On a
charge of conspiring to overthrow
the government. The mayor has
not yet given an answer to Owens
request. 1t is probable that the

Attorney Johnston. Mayor Skinner
stated that it is his impression a
petition of this character must be
presented to the city council, or vat
least requires council action. The
council does not meet again until
next Monday evening. Owens wants
to talk Friday evening at Seventh
street and Eighteenth avenue. Mo-
line. That corner is located in the

LITTLE INTEREST
SHOWN IN PRIMARY
ELECTION TODAY

At noon today it looked as though
the presidential preference primary
election in Aledo would be a tame
affair, 1t is expected that a very
light vote will be cast. Women
seemed oblivious to their privilege
and the male voters were very dis
interested. From the trend of con-
versation among the politicians of
the city. the only preference to be
,hown will be between General
leonard Wood and Governor Frank
}. Lowden. Judging from the lack
interest shown. it makes little
Inference to Aledoans which of the
wo aspirants for the Republican
