c. V. Johnson, who for eight
years had been director Of Moline
accounts and finances, has been

Mr. Johnson succeeds Nelson

Oct. l.
The selection of Mr. Johnson as
managing officer of the bank was
hailed with genuine enthusiasm to-
day by both friends of Mr. Johnson
and of the bank. Mr.. Johnson's
long experience with municipal fl
nances has given him thorough and
wide training and has made for
him an enviable and large circle of
friends.
The new cashier began his career
as an eTrand boy in the William
Clendenin drug store. From there
he went to the postoffice, where he
later became chief clerk.
IN 1899 he was elected an alder
man from the Second ward, and his
services were so we'll regarded that

elected commissioner of accounts
and finances.
He held that position until 1919.
when Moline reverted to the alder
manic system, and Mr.. Johnson re-
tired from political life. It was as
finance commissioner and city clerk
that he became widely known in

United States, to see to it that the
interests of China are constantly

RELIGTONISTS
FROM ILLINOIS
ARE ISOLATED

Gilbert. Ark.-A little community
of Illinois religionists that migrat-
ed to Arkansas less than a year
ago has been practically isolated
by the shutdown of the Missouri
and North Arkansas railroad. The
colony came from the neighbOThood
of Olney. Ill.
While perhaps no town along the
railway has been more cut off from
the world by its closing, none GER
tainly has been better prepared.
The Incoming Kingdom Mission
airy Unit" is the name of the col
ony. Under the leadership of their
preacher and teacher. John A. Bat
taufield, the members of the COM
ten months ago. They took over
business, residence property and
farms in the vicinity which previ-
ously had been purchased by an adj
vance agent and Immediately began
laboring to make themselves indie
pendent of the outside world.
Financial difficulties of the Mis-
souri, and North Arkansas railroad
apparently are helping them in this
object, for they now are without
railroad facilities of any kind, and
the roads leading to the outside are
| for the most part merely wagon
trails through the Southern OZarks.
The community believes that in
the spring OF 1928 a great war viii
| break out in which the contending
forces will practically destroy each
; other, and that their duty will be TO
! begin rebuilding the world after its
almost total destruction, both spir-
ituaIly and physically.
| When they purchased their prop
| erty each member OF the commun-
| ity received a deed to his land, but
the land is worked in common with
the promise that the proceeds will
! be distributed according to the size
! and need of his family. The rule has
been laid down that no one shall
eat who does not work.
! The residents of Gilbert were Wis
| tied a few weeks before the arTiv-
al of the colonists by an agent who
| purchased more than half the bust
ness section and most of the ada
cent farms before anybody realiZ-
60 that something unusual was
brewing.
The spot has many picturesque
features. It is located along the
bank of the Buffalo river, a typical
mountain stream. On the opposite
side of the city a great bluff rises
sheer from the waters edge. Under
the town is an immense une1plored
cave into which Dry creek, a stream
OF considerable size, disappears
about half a mile above the tovr

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING

Residents of both the east end
and west bluff in Moline are alarm
ed over some mysterious shooting
which has been going on in their
neighborhoods during the last two
nights. It was chance only which
saved several members of the Fred
Johnston family at 416 Twenty
first avenue from injury Sunday
night A bullet passed through the
west wall of the house and was
found by one of the residents. Mrs.
Johnston turned the bullet over to
the police yesterday afternoon.

be absent when the shooting oc-

searching both neighborhods, but

Pete Reynolds. track foreman for
the Rock Island road, is saying
that everybody will be doing it next
year.
This is the story of how the folks
in one Moline block cooperated,
and are still cooperating, to trans
form their front yards and the ter
ritory beyond from hideous, slum-
like cinder path into a thing OF
beauty. a garden spot that is daily
receiving the admiration of hun
dreds of strangers.
The block-is located on the south
of Railroad avenue between Fourth
and Fifth streets. Before the trans
forming process the view was that
offered by the usual industrial dis
trict, dirty. drab, dusty. The noisy
railroad tracks were there and be-
yond the gray and red factories,

shops. Then came the dusty road.
the cinder and dirt mixture, the
railroad tracks, the constantly
changing freight cars.
Now the front yards form one
continuous flower garden. The road
is still there, but the folks in the
block fail to see them. Instead
their eyes wander to the blooming
boulevard between the road and the
tracks.
II is this boulevard which is the
browning feature of the coopera-
Wardell started and which has
drawn the praise of Mr. Reynolds
and of the numerous travellers who
pass through Moline.
