American business has mil
lions in advertising power that
has not been set to work.
Merely considering unused
power does not put it to
work.
Plans must be made. Action
must be taken. The power
must be applied.
If you have looked at adj
vertising, if you have thought
about applying it to your own
business, some good may come
if you get acquainted with us
and our work.
We have a greater interest in
seeing this power properly ap-
piled to deserving work than
we have in seeing it used
merely because it is there.

"A WATER MILL is turned by
the weight of the water that
is actually ON the mill wheel.
The water furnishes the
power. The water that has
passed the wheel is useless.
But the business mill, that
is turned by the power of ad-
vertising, can run for some
time with the advertising that
has already appeared.
More important than this
is the fact that neither a water

turn with power that is yet

America has millions OF

Remains to be Paved; Fin.
lsh On Time
(Special Correspondence.l


Geneseo, Oct. 20.-The last ce-
ment was laid yesterday morning
to complete the hard road between
Geneseo and Silvis. This fact bears
out a prediction made during the
early part of August that the work
would be completed on Oct. 90. The
prediction was fulfilled by one
days grace.
, With less than one mile of work
to finish the contract, the Capital
Construction company faces very
serious shortage in cement. Ship
ments were very slow in arriving.
Appeals were made by municipal
officers OF Rock Island, Moline and
East Moline and the chambers of
commerce of those cities as well as
the kiwanis club of Geneseo.
The last 1890 feet Of the con-
tract were down grade and across
a three-foot fill which was made
this season in addition to the rails
ing of the grade last year. An
ascending grade to the west was
also to be paved extending to the
eastern end Of the first two miles
which the Capital company first
worked upon out of Green River.
If this fill were to be exposed to
heavy fall rains before completion,
it would become so. water-soaked
that it would be impossible to fin
ish this short distance this fall.
The highway commission ordered
two carloads per day shipped from
Marquette to meet these require
ments. 1t will be 30 days before
this last stretch of state hard road
will be opened to traffic.
In commemoration of the OPEN
ing, letters have been received by
Geneseo parties interested in this
historical event from the mayors Of
Rock Island, Moline and East Mo-
line, the chambers OF commerce Of
these cities and the Rotary club of
East Moline through Professor
Casio, chairman of the civics and
roads committee, signifying their
wish and desire to cooperate with
Geneseo in a celebration to fitting
ly mark the occasion. Davenport
has been invited to the celebration.
Steps for the formulation of q
plan for the celebration will be
taken as soon as possible when
representatives from the towns
meet at Geneseo. It is planned to
have Governor Small and members
Of the highway commission at the
time Of the dedication.
The only open dirt road which
will now be met between the tri-
cities and Chicago is a small strip
between Geneseo and Atkinson. At
the rate which the Conway Con-
struction company is laying con-
crete road bed it may be possible
to complete the stretch of 3h miles
within the next three weeks. The
distance to Chicago from Geneseo
by this route through Sheffield, La
Sale, Ottawa, Joliet, Lemont and
Lockport will be about 100 miles.
