Decision on Harding and Naming
of "Dirt Farmer" Due Soon.

Two vacancies on the Federal Re
serve Board are understood at the
White House to be under considera-
tion by President Harding, with
prospects of early action by the
executive to name successor to
Gov. w. P. G. Harding, and also

There was some speculation as to
whether Gov. Harding might be re-
appointed. but republican members
of the agricultural bloc were known
to be opposed. For the dirt" farmer

Notable Business Improvement.

The purchase Of the Rock Island house prop
erty by the Hill Furniture company will
bring to the local business district an
other and attractive merchandising establish
ment The building, with a frontage of 80 feet
on Second avenue is to be completely remod-
eled and altered to meet the requirements of
the furniture company, which will have in its
new home one of the finest establishments of
its kind in the middle west.
The transaction likewise shows the faith Of
the owners of the Hill Furniture company in
the future Of city where they have been
identified with the public as merchants over
period Of IS years The best proof that the COM
pany has prospered here IS the announcement
of its plans of expansion. The Hills made
modest beginning here, and while they have
had their lean years, other merchants have,
they never have abandoned faith in the mer-
chandising possibilities Of the community The
Hill concern has grown steadily and healthily,
until now, despite that it has extensive store
space, it finds that in order to meet the require
ments Of its rapidly expanding trade, it must
have enlarged quarters. In its new location
the company will add new departments, giving
to Rock Island complete furniture house
as is to be found anywhere
The purchase and rernodeling of the Rock
Island house property will involve an expen-
diture Of 100000. The alterations will begin
next fall when the occupancy of the property
for hotel purposes ceases The Hill improve
ment may be more far-reaching than the addi-
ton Of a large furniture store. The discontin-
uance of the Rock Island house as a hotel
doubtless will give impetus to the new hotel
project, and it may serve to awaken others to
the business possibilities of the community and
hasten the launching OF new enterprises and
the charging of some of those now here. Rock
Island and the surrounding territory are grow
ing, and the wise business man is the one who
now sees the advantage of preparing to reap
the harvest that the future has in store

Let's Build Good Roads Now.

Every county in the country eventually will
have hard roads. Rock Island has been one
of the most backward counties in Illinois in
good road work. 1t is not that the people do
not want to have as good roads here as else
where. They simply haven't realized the i'm
portance and need of them. 1t doesn't sound
well to your ears to have some traveller tell
you that Rock Island county has the worst
roads in Illinois Perhaps they are not the
worst, but you will have to travel long way
to find any that are more difficult of passage
during the rainy seasons
good road is a convenience that should
appeal to every resident of the county 1t nav
be true that you do not own an automobile
and therefore claim that you have no occasion
to use the country roads. But the day NAV
come when you will own a car. 1t will be nice
then to know that you can take your family for
a spin over the country roads without the
dangers of hub-deep mud or ruts that might jar
you loose from your teeth. Anyway your
friends own cars, and for the sake of few
cents year you ought not be so selfish as
to want to deny them the comfort that comes
with improved country highways.
The tri-city community is rich in scenic and
historical interest, aside from its attractiveness
as business center. and there are thousands
of auto travellers who would come here during
year who now divert their courses because of
the rough roads in Rock Island county. I'm
proved roads bring the farmer and the city
people in closer contact That means more
convenience in trading transactions and social
intercourse, and thus makes the benefits
mutual

From the Top of the World.

The top Of the world, which is the North
pole, belongs to the United States, even though
Captain Road Amundsen should not find the
American nag that Admiral Peary unfurled
there on April 6. 1919, Just two years before
Amundsen claimed the South pole for Norway.
Amnndsen intends TO visit the North pole by
drifting across it on his way from Seattle to
Spitzbergen, and he intends to keep in touch
with the world through the radio and use air
planes for scouting purposes. thus making this
voyage or explanation different from those that
have gone before.
If the drift theory is sound there is little
prospect of Amundsen finding the nag and the
documents that Peary left at the North pole be-
cause they will have been carried far away by
the movement OF the ice field.

dictate, Iuc.)
Daphne Joseiyn ran upstairs,
threw herself on a bed and buried
her face in a pillow. She wanted to
cry, but didn't, because crying
made her nose red and her eyes
look washed out, and for her hus-
bands sake she wanted to look
pretty. That was the whole trou-
ble-she wanted to look pretty and
retain her husbands love, but, in
stead, she grew larger and less at
tractive every day, while Reggie's
love seemed to diminish according
ly.
She had tried many ways to get
thin. She had tasted, dieted. ex-
ercised-everything, but each ex-
pertinent only increased her
weight With her light hair, blue
eyes. and fair skin, she wasn't
homely, but she was large, and
Reggie had said. when she was
younger and more slender, that he
disliked fat women. Now he sell
dom stayed at home in the evening,
and people said he was interested
in cute little brunette at his Of
flee. When he did stay at home
he read all evening, discouragins
all attempts at conversation. Just
that night he had spoken GROSSLY to
her when she had tried to show
her love for him.
That morning she had received a
pamphlet which said that the only
way to keep a husbands love was
to cultivate charm. By practicing
before the mirror, she had attain
ed what she thought was a perfect
~ irresistible smile Then she had
added a glide to her walk to make
her seem graceful, and prepared to
conquer her husband by charm.
As she glided through the doorway
with the irresistible smile on her
face, Reggie had stared at her in
silence. She thought it was the
silence Of admiration, but finally
he gained his voice and exploded:
Are you playing you're a fairy.
Dephane, or shall 1 call a doctor ?''
Rushing from the room, she had
thrown herself on the bed in a fit
of despair.
1t was no use. She was undeni-
ably fat, and Reggie thought that
sne was crazy when she had fol-
lowed the advice of an adviser TO
the lovelorn," and tried sitting on
his lap and putting her arms
around his neck he had thrust her

gloves for about 90 minutes every
day, with especial emphasis en-

were required to undergo this form
of massage regularly, as he is re-

would be fine for the character OF

The Daily Short Story

so that Reggie could be free for the
little brunette.
The next morning she did not
get Up in time to see Reggie, be-
cause she didn't want him to be an
noyed by her presence. She would
keep away from him If that was
what he wanted.
During the afternoon as she was
reading an article on the art of
keeping thin her mother, Mrs.
Price. came into the room.
Hello, Daphane, child" she
greeted her; how are you and
Reggie getting along? l just saw
him at the office, and he said to
tell you to expect him for dinner"
Its a wonder" Dephane sighed,
'fhe isn't at home much now"
well, you'll have one more to-
night I'll stay. It's raining, and
don't want to get wet. What
are you going to have for dinner?"
''Oh, l have some cold meat and
fruit salad, and I'll get something
to drink. and we'll have a light
dessert.
"Daphane Joselyn, do you mean
to tell me that you feed your hus-
band in that way? Why, after a
man has worked all day, he wants
something substantial, not salads
and drinks and light desserts. No
wonder the poor man eats away
from home"
But I have to mother, to keep
from growing fat"
well, there's no need in starv-
Ing man just because you want
to get thin. Daphane, I'm ashamed
of you. Instead Of brooding over
your size, come down to the kitch-
en- and we'll prepare dinner that's
fit for a hungry man, and not one
that would satisfy a bird"
Two hours later the table was
set in readiness for a meal that
would warm the heart of any man.
Daphane had become interested in
the work, and surveyed the dining
room with a smile Outside a vio-
lent storm was raging, and within
all looked cosy and comfortable.
Suddenly the telephone rang and
an ag1tated voice asked for Da-
planes mother. When Mrs. Price
returned she said: 81 must go at
once, Dephane. Mrs. Thompson's
twins are very sick, and she wants
me to come over. I hate to leave
this cosy place for the storm, but
it must be done. Take the pie out
of the oven in five minutes, and
beat your sauce row. Good-by,
DEAR
Thirty minutes later Reggie
came in dripping and worn ont
from the battle with the
storm. When he had changed
his clothes he entered the dining
room, stopping with surprise as he
noticed the daintily set table, with
its load Of good things. Daphane
herself looked charming with her
face flushed prettily.
After Reggie had eaten as much
as possible he leaned back in his
chair and gazed at his wife with
complete satisfaction.
Gee, Daph," he said, I'm glad
Tou had this supper ready tonight.
