-Four Moline paving projects on
the east blut1 we're approved today,
but with the proviso that no con-

who objected to building payements
at present prices. The directors
contended that prices are coming
down.

WHEAT MARKET
! WEAK BECAUSE
Of SLOW BUYING

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Weakness de-
veloped in the wheat market today
owing largely to q disposition on
the part of buyers to go slow in the
absence Of any new factor of a
bullish character. 1t was contend
ed that recent sharp advances had
discounted known conditions for at
least the time being. Some hedg-
ing sales of the March delivery
we're noted. Opening prices which
varied from unchanged figures to 1c
lower, with March 1.69E to Ito,
and May 1.5S1k to 1.59. were fol-
lowed by a slight rally, but then by
downturns all around.
Subsequently fresh attention
was given to the crop outlook, es-
pecially as viewed by field experts
representing big firms here. Sharp
|uptuflls followed. Green bugs
were reported in Kansas and
actual damage from them in
Texas. The market closed strong,
4hc to SIC net net higher, with
$1.75 to $1.75A, and Nay $1.65 to
SISSY.
Corn descended with wheat, al
though export demand for corn re-
NAMED evident. After opening un-
changed to Nc lower with May
70Ac to 703sc, the market worked
Iirregularly lower.
Oats were governed chiefly by
the action of other cereals, starting
unchanged to &c higher, May 455se
to 45Bc, and then undergoing a
general sag.
Higher quotations on hogs
strengthened provisions.

starting It. The first he knew Of .
holdup, Bowling said, was . few
minutes after the men had turned
the corner, when he heard shots.
and Rubenstein and Pruett came
running down the stairway and
jumped in the car, commanding
him to drive fast or they would
shoot him.,
A weak spot in the testimony o:
Bowling was the fact that he said
that no conversation was INDUCED in
between Wood and the two holdup
men while they were coming from
Galesburg, and no. place in the tes-
timony revealed how Pruett and
Rubenstein, two total strangers in
Aledo, could have had any knowl-
edge of poker game or. where
such a game could be staged. Nor
how the two men, who had never
been in the city before, without
some knowledge of the town, find
the stairway, enter1the second room
down the hall, and stick up poker
game,

RATES A TRIO OF
MOLINE SCHOOLS
AT 100 PER CENT

Three schools Of Moline, the Will
liam Carr, Mckinley and Willard
were rated this year as 100 per cent
by the National Educational asso-
citation. These ratings are based
upon the membership of the teach
ing staff and principals of the
schools will receive a special GER
tificstes.
Last year the National Educa-
tional association was active in the
enlistment of public interest in the
teachers efforts for salary in
creases and in addition to its &C
tivities in that field is official repre-
sentative of the teachers in legisla-
tive matters.
| In a recent letter to L. A. Ma
honey, superintendent of the Moline
public schools, J. w. Crabtree, Sec
rotary, IN commenting on the Mo-
line teachers membership:
Teachers and professors have been
content in the past to work as indi-
viduals or at least in small groups
on educational problems and have
taken little or no interest in form
ing satte or national organizations.
Members of both the legal and
medical professions saw the advan-
tage many years ago of having
strong state and national associa-
tons as a means Of forcing the
needs and demands Of their pro-
feesions upon the attention Of state
legislatures, congress and the pub.
lie.
THE teaching profession is nov
taking Its first steps in that direc-
ton. The utilization of state and
local associations with the national
association together with the 1O(
per cent enrolment in many
schools all go to show that teach.
, ers are awakening to the need Of
working together in order to secure

dent" said E. E. Amos, 1924 Fourth
avenue. Il ran out Immediately
after the crash There wasn't a
person or car in sight except the
wreck"
The scene Of the accident was
Just a few feet west Of the Amos
home. The car was driven by Her
bert Anderson OF Moline. Beside
him was Carl Randall, owner Of the
car.
Il don't think" said Anderson,
''that we were going much more
than twenty OF twenty-five miles an
hour. We were in the tracks.
There was Ford ahead Of us and
then a street car came along"
Anedrosn seemed uncertain just
what took place after that, but he
declares that he remembered Ran
dali telling him to give it more
gas" and to pass the Ford. That
Randall himself took hold of some
of the levers Of the car and added
greatly to the speed of the car Is
the idea of Anderson.
Il turned out to the north" he
went on, ito get out of the way OF
the street car coming from the
east. The rails were sweaty and
we skidded. The steering gear was
loose. After we skidded we went
a lot faster"
And then, according to his story
Anderson received the impression
that the car turned over. 1.-THE
next thing I knew l was walking
around and there was a big crowd
Some of the fellows we're gone al
ready" he concluded.
Anderson is the only member Of
the group who is not now in the
hospital. Like his four friends, he
was taken to the Moline City hos
pita, but after his wounds were
dressed he was allowed to &
home.
