She was q little thing-a creature
Of rounded curves and softly How

brown. luminous. and set the least
bit aslant beneath level. dark brows.
Her hair was deep, blue-black; an
indescribable color which held diff

fell across it. Her exquisitely shap-

no rings.

Investment in electric light and
power, gas, telephone and electric
railway facilities of the state up to
81 $50 900 .000," Mr.. Prather said
This year, due to better public
understanding and closer coopera-
| ton with regulatory authorities,
the amount of new construction
work will be greatly exceeded.
Among the major plans for fur
ther building mentioned by Mr..
Prather were:
Expenditure of more than $4.-
000,00 by the Public Service COM
pany of Northern Illinois in north

TOOLS PARADISE TO
RECEIVE PREMIERE
SHOWING NEXT WEEK

The tri-cities are rapidly forging
to the front in the amusement
world, Rock Island being consider
ed of sufficient importance among
heads of the film industry to be
selected as the spot where the big
gest Paramount picture of the year
shall receive it's premiere. When
Fools Paradise" was completed
the Paramount executive decided
that, instead of being shown in
Chicago and the large cities first,
the residents of some of the small
er communities would be given a
chance to see the picture and judge
of its merits. Naturally the tri-
cities were selected because of the
opportunity afforded to show the
picture to three separate and dis
tinct communities at one time.
Much depends on the success or
failure of the picture in these cities
as the policy of releasing "big" pic
lures in smaller communities be-
fore allowing the metropolitan
theatres to show them to their pat
rons will be adhered to in the flu
ture should the plan prove success
full in Rock Island, it is said.

after prize as a Splinter.
Witt IS a great drawing card
one of the reasons why the New
York Yankee management intent on
landing the American League
pennant-purchased him from
Connie Mack at a fabulous sum.
Witt is great hitter too, although
he had been what might be termed
a concealed threat. Miller Hug
gins, his manager, has had him hit
ting in the lead-off position all
year. "Whitey" does not have as
many opportunities to bust up a
baseball game "a does his pal, the
batteling Bambino. But "Whitey"
can always produce the winning
hingle when it is necessary. For
instance, fans will recall the cruc-
ial game in the st. Louis-New
York American League series,
when Witt punched out the hit
that won the game and gave his
team the deciding edge of the ser
les. His average for the 1922 sea-
son is .307.
Alongside of Ruth and Meusel,
who cover left and right field res
pectively, Witt looks like a pigmy
in center field. The Babe towers
above him and Meusel, long and
lanky, looks like a sky-scraper be
side him.
Wits fielding average for the
past season is ,972. He has col
iected ten doubles, six triples and
four home runs during the season
that has lust closed.
Interest Of the entire country
has recently been centered on Witt
because of the accident which oc-
CURED to him at st. Louis when
the Yankees were battling there
for supremacy. The fan that ex-
planned to Ban Johnson, president
of the American League how the
pop bottle flew NC and hit "Whitey'
in the head has been rewarded
with a free ticke:, and 500 in cash
to take him to New York for the
big series.
