Miss Bakersfield to
Wed J. F. Roderick
Wednesday, June IA

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Bakersfield,
HOP Twelfth street announced the
approaching marriage of their
only daughter, Adah Marie to j.
Frances Broderick, S13 Second ave-
nue. at a charming dinner party
given last night at their home in
their daughters honor. Miss
Bakersfield has selected Wednes-
day, June IA as her wedding day.
A delicious three course menu
was served to eight young women.
The brides chosen colors, maize
and white were very effectively
carried out at a table where a
large white basket of Persian
roses and white syringa tied with
a maize bow formed the center
piece. The wedding news which
came as a complete surprise, was
hidden underneath dainty place
cards which carried out the color
scheme. Evening hours were spent
with music and games, the prize
going to Miss Lillian BareWa4d OF
Davenport.
The bride has a large circle of
friends who will be interested IN
the announcement of her coming
marriage. She has always lived in
Rock Island, graduating from
Rock Island high school in the class
of 1917. Mr.. Broderick, who is a
graduate of St. Joseph's high
school, is a tri-city salesman for
Hartz and Bahnsen Wholesale Drug
company.
Want Flowers For Hospital.
The flower committee of the civic
department, Rock Island Woman's
club, has planned to furnish flow
ers at WATERFOWL hospital each
Saturday this month. Last year a
similar plan was followed late in
the summer, the patients at the
state hospital greatly enjoying the
blossoms furnished By open-heart-
ed club women and friends.
Two members of the committee
will have charge of securing the
flowers each week, and these work
ers would greatly appreciate CO.
operation of garden owners who
would give blooms at any time.
This week, Mrs. c. Z. Robb and
Miss Eleanor Cleaveland will col
lect the blossoms and take them to
the hospital Anyone willing to
provide boquets is asked to notify
Mrs. Robb, at r. l. AIS, or Miss
CleaVeIand at r. l. 2S2, before Sat
urday morning The workers will
call for the blooms if they are noti-
fled. Next week a new committee
will be in charge, and if it is i'm
possible to give blooms this week,
owners of gardens are asked TO
help another time.

JOBS GO TO Ex-SERvICE MEN
British Legion Secures Promise From
Government to Give Employment
to Former Soldiers.

The British Legion, formed from
three veteran organizations with con-
stitution and bylaws modelled after
the American Legion, has secured
promise from the English government
that in public works for the benefit OF
the unemployed rs per cent OF the
Jobs shall be given ex-service men.
With King Georges approval, the
Legion works through Britain's con-
sulates and all employers showing
preference for ex-service men are per-
mitted a special seal and their names
are inscribed on the Kings Roll.
The British Legion, sponsored by
Field Marshal Haig, came into Delng
in July, 1919. 1t has 1900 posts and
a membership running into millions,
is nonsectarian, nonpolitical and one
of its ideals Is the sanctifying "of our
comradeship by devotion to mutual
service and helpfulness." 1t Is pre-
pairing to send unemployed ex-service
men to British Columbia and Austria
liza, where they will be welcomed.
'@The ultimate goal Of the Legion"
says Lord Haig, must be the uplift-
ing of the whole empire, the creating
Of a happier and more God-fearing
community"

TO CUT AUSTRALIAN ESTATES
Measure Almost Socialistic In Charac-
ter Is Approved by Most OF tho
Is. Landhoders.

Large Australian estates may nave
TO be subdivided, according to the
Sydney correspondent Of London pa
per.
The new South Wales government
is reintroducing a large holding sub
division bill, compelling owners TO
subdivide for closer settlement any
land exceeding 100000 in value. IT,
for instance, the owner of land worth
S25O,OOO refuses to subdivide it the
government will compulsorily acquire
S15O.OOO worth and make 1t available
for closer settlement.
The intention Is to pay immediate
cash or current rates of interest to
the owners. The measure, which IS
approved by most Australian indlvid-
ual landholders but bitterly opposed
by big land companies with .headquar-
tiers in England, will have the erect
of opening for cultivation large areas
now utilized as sheep runs. Thus IL
will afford an opportunity for an IN
creased agricultural population ana
scope for immigrants. ISL
1t is designed to mitigate the ex-
listing serious unrest arising out of the
inability to provide Australian agricul-
turists with land. These people are
being driven to the cities to swell the
ranks of the unemployed, making dan
gerous centers of discomfort.

AND THEY SLEPT "UPSTAIRs"
Childish Prank Not SO Enjoyable az

An Indianapolis woman Is fond OF
telling story about her girlhood
DAYS. There were several children In
the family and they went to school
with other children, perhaps tribe
better off as to this worlds goods
than they were. At any rate the
other children were always talking
about their upstairs. And there
was no upstairs to the cottage where
the Indianapolis woman's family lived
it was only cottage. But children
like, they had to be able to say with
cool dlsdain when they went to
school: "Why. upstairs where we
sleep"
So when mother went downtown
one day these small children labor
iously took their little bed apart and
carried 1t up the narrow, steep dark
stairs that led to the attic. Then they
carried up the bedclothes; then their
little chairs. They were indeed, going
to sleep upstairs.
When mother came home she found
out what had happened. She
climbed the attic stairs, and there
amid the dust and dirt and whatnots
and cobwebs were the two beds
So Just to punish the children for
their disobedience mother made them
sleep up there few nights In the
hot weather, until they were glad
they had no upstairs"
