The Road Banquet.

Tomorrow evening there will be meeting
for the consideration Of the county's rural high
way problems. 1t will be held at the Rock
Island Masonic temple under the auspices OF
country organizations interested in definite
routes for state roads, They will have charge
Of the program and will pay all expenses. The
purpose is to interest as many people as pos
sble. including those living in the cities, in
their plans for the solving of their highway
problems They want and should be given
full hearing and intelligent advice and support.
As The Argus has previously pointed out
this is the first time that the five lower town
ships of the county have thrown their re-
sources together in any enterprise for their
common advancement 1t is the first time the
two extremes of the county have united in
I similar manner. 1t is the first time that the
country districts have come asking coopera-
don of the cities The occasion is really a
notable one in county affairs. Those who have
been invited to take part should do so and
should enter intellectually into the work to
I DO taken up.
Rock Island county wants first of all to
make sure OF getting maximum results out OF
the state road building project now ip hand
It wants to see as great mileage as possible
within its borders, serving the greatest pos
sible number Of people. 1t wants to make sure
that Its own interests will be looked after be-
fore the funds have been all absorbed in Other
projects 1t is exceedingly important tina,
there be an Intelligent program mapped out
and all interests earnestly cooperate in Its
execution.
1t will mean much just to make common
effort, even IL results fall below the maximum

all, it was not very strange, when
Ted considers if it were not for the
toy aeroplane he might never have

Who Oppose Universal Training,
Chicago Daily News

NShiNo5O
Confusion Of ideas and deliberate misrepre-
senation continue to form a smoke screen be-
hind which the enemies of universal military
training make their attacks upon that rational
method of providing for the national defense.
They call it "militaristic." Yet it is the one
reasonable substitute for large standing
army, since, in the light Of the lessons of the
great war unpreparedness for the national de-
Tense would be both idfotic and criminal. Mill
tary training would give to every able bodied
young man practical knowledge Of a soldiers
duties, thus equipping him to fight efficiently
for his liberties and his American ideals
against any menacing encroachmenr.
The foes of preparedness cry out against
the expense Of universal military training.
Representative Kahn, an experienced and able
congressman and chairman of the house COM
mittee on military affairs, presents figures and
estimates justifying his belief. that the annual
expense would be in the neighborhood of $751;,
100000, whereas the saving to the country
through the reduction thus made possible in
the size of the standing army would amount
to several times that sum.
Opponents of this wise policy of prepared
ness make hullabaloo about the loss to in
dustry that would come from taking youths of
10 away from their homes four or six months
in order that they might receive military train
ing Such talk is absurd. Training given in
the manner contemplated would make young
men physically stronger and of wider krowl-
| edge. 1t would make them better citizens and
| more skillful workers. The required period Of
instruction would be profitable period to them
| as individuals and profitable to the country.
Preparedness for war on the part of peace
| loving people is insurance against war This
! great truth no American can afford to overlook
| So far as it is not based upon lack Of
| understanding, opposition to universal military
training is mainly the product of undemocratlc
| sentiments such as those in the south, where
! there is an element that does not wish young
| negroes to learn the lessons of American man
| hood and self-respect that are part of the
training for military service. Certainly the

she had been elected to purchase a
birthday gift.
Now, l wonder what that dear
little boy would like" she thought,
as she held the picture at arms
length. Brother Bobby is just as
crazy for a flying machine, and
imagine this little boy, too would
like one" And then she wondered
If Mr., Hill would regard it as ap-
propriate. But how was she to
know she argued. He had not
offered any suggestions, and. after
all, hadn't he left the matter in
her hands entirely2 So she decid-
ed that the flying machine would
be as timely gift as any, and pro-
ceeded accordingly.
Noontime found Edith Emerson
in the toy department of one of the
large emporiums, fairly revealing
in the various models of miniature
aeroplanes, of which her knowi-
edge was rather limited. After en-
listing the services of the very af-
fable salesman. however, she sue
ceeded in selecting one, and had it
sent to the address she had been
given, enclosing Mr.. Hills card, as
instructed.
1t was indeed relief to realize
that the irksome task had been &C
complished and Edith now plunged
into her work with renewed yigor.
Affairs of the Office proceeded as
usual during the absence of Mr..
Hill, and it was not long before he
returned. Apparently he had COM
pletely forgotten his nephew, as
well as the birthday gift, because
no mention was made Of it. Edith.
too, had quite forgotten the incl
dent by this time. until one day
about two months later, when it
was recalled to her mind quite WV
idly.

and Edith could not quite account
for it.

began by way of introduction. "You

Explanations were beyond her; she
was embarrassed to the point OF
modification, and Mr.. Hill, appre-
