ALLEY CLEANUP
WORK GOING ON
Ask Cooperation of Househ0Iders
as Department Funds Are
at Low Point.

Citizens of Rock Island are
warned to have all rubbish placed
in the alleys at once to expedite
the fall cleaning work.
The work will not be completed
for week or 10 days and citizens
can do much toward hurrying the
work by seeing that all rubbish,
cans and bottles are out where the
drivers can easily pick up the &C
foundations.
Every effort toward retrenchment
is being made, as the city is in dire
financial straits as far as general
cleaning and alley and street work
of all kinds is concerned. After
the alley cleaning is done nothing
but ashes should be thrown sout
Cans and bottles must be placed in
containers.
Commissioner William H FItz-
simmons, in charge of the depart
ment of public health and safety,
reminds citizens that garbage must
no longer be placed in cans in the
alleys, as the city has stopped its
collections. 1t must now be burned
by each householder. There have
been some few Violations of this
order.

FISH FOR CANAL
WATERS ARRIVE
First Shipment of 5000 Attracts
Observation-Disclosures by
Rod and Reel Club.

Hundreds of Rock Islanders who
Saturday evening witnessed the ar
rival of a shipment of fish from
the Savanna rescue station for the
stocking of canal waters in this
locality felt prompted to get their
rGis and reels to go get EN-"
Game fish. to the number OF 5000
arrived over the Burlington road
from the fish rescue station at
Savanna at 7:10 o'clock and by 2
O'Clock the next morning were
placed in canal waters in this To-
cality. Thomas A. Journy and JOS
eph Billesbach of the Rock Island
Rod and Reel club, supervised the
transfer to the canal waters.
1t is the first shipment from any
of the state fish rescue stations
ever received here.
Among them was a pickerel 81
inches in length and black bass
weighing five pounds.
The credit for the shipment be-
longs entirely to the Rod and Reel
club. which persuaded the authOri-
ties of the Savanna station to stock
the canal waters of this vicinity.
The public took a great interest
in the arrival of the fish, hundreds
of people visiting the car.

BUSINESS Open
ARMISTICE DAY
People Need Money, Not to Be
Called From Werk-Ne HOlf-
day Proclamation.
Rock Island banks today an.
neunced that they would OBJ
serve Friday as q holiday.
Banks VIII be closed all day.

Neither Rock Island nor Moline
will proclaim Armistlce day a
municipal holiday.
Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver. Rock
Island. and Mayor Charles P. Skin
ner, Moline. have announced that
proclaiming ATmistice day as q hoii-
day would be a bad move in face
OF the present unemployment situa-
ton.
Business interests of both cities
have pointed out that many per
sons who have employment would
lose a days wages and money that
a large number could i'll afford TO
forego might be lost to them
through proclamations from the
mayor.
Mayor Schriver and the city COM
missioners considered the situation
from all angles in an informal &es-
sion this morning. They decided
that as Armistice day is a legal
holiday in Illinois there would be
really little need for a mayors
proclamation
Under this arrangement any
business may close without waiting
upon a local call.
On the other hand, many business
men who believe that they should
keep their establishments open for
the general good, but if proclama-
ton were made calling upon them
to observe Armistice day. few would
want to keep their business in
opposition to the holiday request.
Some Formal Observance.
However, Armistice day will not
go without formal observance. The
city and the American Legion will
join in planting memorial trees in
Reservoir park. The ceremony and
tree planting will take place in the
morning. The American Legion will
have days program of its own and
at night the legion will sponsor a
street dance in the business dis
trict.

The first snowfall of the season
is predicted for tonight or tomor-

The weather report for today is a

Snow fell this, morning in Mon

The large area of high pressure in
South Saskatchewan, Canada, where
the temperature at O'Clock this

this section. This will lower the
temperature, causing 4 precipita-
ton, and the dew point which will
reach below 2 degrees will cause
the snow.
This will be the first snowfall
this season, and will come a little
later than in other years Two
inches of snow were reported in
October of 1913. and in the same
month of 1917, % inches fell. A

EAGLES NEST
ORGANIZED BY
CRACK SCOUTS
HsyS Who Attained Highest Honcrs
Lead New Council 0rganiza-
a ton.

Recognition of the attainment of
the Eagle rank In the Boy Scouts
by several Rock Island boys, has
taken the form of an organization
of an Eagles Nest composed only
of members who have attained the
highest honors OF scouting.
The first five Eagle scouts in ROCK
Island have been chosen officers
of the nest, and Marvin Billiard,
the highest ranking scout In the
world, has been elected to preside.
His title is American Eagle.
The other officers and their titles
are as follows:
Frank Gadient, Black Eagle; Ber-
nard Connolly. Gold Eagle; Hilton
Hodgson, Flying Eagle; Ruehl Lee,
White Eagle The titles signify
some special achievement of the
scout who receives them.
George Arthur Duyon of troop
No. 4, and Theodore Eklund of
troop No. "a have been initiated
into the nest W. J. Sweeney is
adult supervisor of the group
The nest has a secret initiation
and the officers have distinctive
uniforms. Both serious and funny
rituals find place in the cere-
monies
Meetings are held twice month
with the scout executive and the
adult supervisor.
Creates Scout Interest.
The nest has aroused enthusiasm
among scouts of the first class, and
1t is expected that large number
of Eagle scouts will be taken into
the group during the winter months.
The group will serve also as a
headquarters demonstration group,
and as a training group will rem
der active service to the commun-
ity.
The organization represents a
plan to hold the interest of the OLD
er boys in the scout movement. The
rank is attained only after the hard
est kind of work. A boy must earn
Il merit badges, before being elig-
ible, among them being badges for
swimming, bird study, personal and
public health, life saving, first aid
and civics. Through the Eagles
Nest every member VIII have
abundant opportunities TO serve, as
boys of this rank are utilized by
scout masters in the training of
other boys.

One of the big laugh-fests of the
