OF the men and 20 per cent of the
women who applied for work at
the Rock Island Moline office of the
Illinois free employment bureau,
1915 Fourth avenue, during the year
ending Nov. 80, were placed. This
is over double the number placed
by the Office last year. The report
Of a year ago showed that less than
10 per cent of the applicants were
placed during the year. During the
12-month period 9,403 men and
women secured employment
through the state bureau.

Fred W. Rinck, superintendent OF
the Office, announced in his yearly
report. This is considered a re-
markahle record in view Of the in
dustrial situatfon in this commun-
ity.
The greatest and most steady de-
nnand for help during the season
was for laborers for general con-
structi0n and road work. The very
active building operations in the
three cities and the large number
Of road building projects created q
heavy demand for lAborers.
The second greatest demand was
for farm help. The records show
that 561 farmers were supplied
during the season. In some in
stances the farmer called for two
or more hands, as in the case of
harvesting, threshing and corn
picking. All calls for farm help
were filled.
There were not many calls for
Skilled workers for factory work.
This IL owing to the fact that very
lew factories are running full ca
pacity and when they resumed op-
erations they called back veteran
employesS making demand on the
office only when they were not able
to get full force from their regu-
lar employees.
While the women's department
OF the office does not show as good
q per cent record as the men, the
total report Of the years work IL

A total Of $11 ,oo5.s1 was expended
In Improvements and maintenance
at the Rock island postoffice dur
ing the past year, according to Gus
todian Harry p. Simpson. The i'm
provemsnts included the cutting of
. number Of doors. connecting the
rooms occupied by the revenue
force on the third floor, necessary
and building maintenance.
The expenditures o fthe Rock Is
land postoffice during the year,
totaled $120, 0,673.61, Of which amount
&110,347.30 went into the salaries
Of the employees. The receipts for
the present year, have not Of
course, been compiled, but Post
master Simpson expects IN increase
of ct least $4,000 over the preced-
ing year, or with aggregate re-
ceipts between $255. .000-and $780,
900. H1f this is accomplished" said
Postmaster Simpson, cit will give
the Rock Island postoffice q new
classification, and the postmaster a
new rating"
1t is the ambition Of every post
master to raise the standing of his
Office, and IL the present incumbent
succeeds this year, as he hopes to,
it will be the third time that the Of
flee has been raised in the estima~
tfon of the department during his
administration.
The past year has witnessed a
continual growth in all transac-
tions, and the improvements essen
tial to handling the business and tc
serve the public, have kept pace
with the growth of the business.

Ths Chamber of Commerce good
roeds committee has been most ac-
tice In the work during the last
year, and has urged the state to let
early contracts for route No. z,
south of Rock Island. 1t is inform
ed that actual construction work
will begin this spring and that bids
are now being advertised for this
work. When this road is complet-
ed 1t will open up new valuable
trade territory. The committee
was also very active in securing
the adoption by the voters of the
81 100000 bond issue, and a great
deal Of credit is due A. F. Sala, who
Is chairman Of this special commit
tee.
The merchants division has been
most active during the last year in
various cooperative attempts. Ear
~ In the spring 1t directed spring
opening, which was duplicated in
the fall. A combined Dollar day
was also staged, and it is to the
credit Of this division, as we'll as to
the retail trade extension council,
that aggressive steps have been
taken to secure for Rock Island a
! large portion Of ths business that
rikhtfully belongs to the merchants

several other matters OF national
importance. It Recommended to
the Illinois Chamber Of Commerce
that the Illinois legislature amend
the present loan law to change the
rate of interest from az per cent
monthly to / per cent monthly; !;
that township elections and prima-
ries be held on the same day as
county elections and primaries, and
that the polls open at z o'clock in
stead Of 8 o'clock; to prohibit the
sale Of firearms except through Ii
censed dealers, and the prohibition
Of the advertising Of firearms in
magazines and publications through
the mail.
While the above paragraphs give
the major items of activity of the
Chamber Of Commerce during the
last years. it must not be. assumed
that this was the only work the
Chamber Of Commerce did during
the last year. It is continually be-
ing called upon for services and
information OF all kinds and nature.
The Chamber OF Commerce is re-
sponsible for the present Missis-
sippi Motor club, which is being
developed into most active organ
ization, comprised solely OF mo-
torists.
Lookout for 1928.
The year 1893 should be one of
the most active for the Chamber OF
Commerce, for with local conditions
bettered great impetus should be
given to the various projects which
have been withheld on this account.

there is any question about him being
able to hit big league pitching, for he

StatZ is not strong, but he plants
full swing to his hits and is just as
likely to make an extra base blow as
he is to beat out a hunt. and he stands
a better chance than any other mem
Der of the team of taking an additional
base because of his remarkable speed
and Judgment in running the bases.
Opposing pitchers are not fOollng

doubt that StatZ will make good. HE
may be little slow in starting and
in getting used to playing regularly"
says Chance, but he will surprise the
fans back East with his ability. He
can go as far in the Outfield for drives
