DISCUSS PARKS
East Moline Civic Boosters Take
First Step Toward I'm
proving Tracts.
Especial Moline Service,

East Moline will some day have
one of the finest park systems in
the state, if the hopes and ambitions
of the civic boosters who were pres
ent at the Chamber of Commerce
forum last evening are realized.
AS the first step toward the goal,
c. E. Mitchell, chairman OF the
forum committee, appointed com
mittee of five to make a survey OF
the city parks and report back with
recommendation for their develop
ment and improvement. Members
of this committee are Oscar Odel,
F. j. Clendenin, J. F. Westphal, A.
F. Fryxell and j. l.. Brady.
City Attorney George D. Long ex-
planned the city's attitude with re-
spect to park improvement. He as
we'll as the mayor should like to
see the city park developed, but the
work, they believe, should be under
the supervision of a landscape gar
dener. Mr.. Long should like to
have the people vote a bond issue
of $4,000 for the development of
the park, but he declared that right
now would be an inopportune time
to attempt to levy additional taxes.
The park covers 29 acres.
Mr., Long also expressed the wish
of the mayor that the city acquire
and set aside a part of Campbell's
island for recreational park pur-

R. And V. OPENS
LOCAL RETAIL
SALES OFFICE
Factory Service at East Moline
Feature of Knight Motor
Selling Plan.

Announcement is made by the r.
&V. Motor company Of East Mo-
line OF the establishment, effective
March /, of retail sales and serv-
ice department. Creation OF the
new department constitutes rad
zeal departure from former sales
methods in the retail field locally,
the r. G. v. knight line having
heretofore been handled here by
contract agents.
In making this announcement the
company states that it feels that as
it is successfully operating retail
branches in Chicago, Boston. Ba1ti-
more, Kansas City and Cincinnati,
the same methods in the home COM
munity will be beneficial to the
company and prove advantageous,
too, for local customers.
B. y. Ward of Rock Island, who
for some time has been engaged in
Wholesale and retail sales work on
the r. &c V. Knight line. has been
added to the company's forces to
give his especial attention, in asso-
citation with ID. s. Smith of Moline,
factory service department mana
ger, to the retail sales department
OF the business. Headquarters of
the retail department have been es-
tablished in connection with the
The Rock Island Argus and daily union., 1922-03-01

poses. In addition to the city park
East Moline has Radden park,
which consists of two acres. This
combined space, declared Mr.. Long,
will be inadequate for the needs of
the city several years. hence.
The sentiment of the meeting was
to await more opportune time for
raising money to improve the city
park, but in the meantime to take
proper care of both parks, so that
the people might enjoy them to
some extent.
The work of keeping the weeds
and brush down will be done by
volunteers, and probably some of
the unemployed men who are re-
ceiving aid from the relief associa-
ton will be pressed into service.
In view of the sentiment prevail
ing at last evenings meeting, the
Rotary club will probably defer
the work of erecting a log cabin
in the city park for the Boy Scouts.
The meeting was held in the cafe

service department, across the
street from the factory in East Mo-
line.
Combination OF the retail service
department with the factory's serv-
ice department is assurance or s1e
very best of attention to the needs
OF local customers.
The r. & v. Motor company's ad-
vertising department has just is
sued a new catalogue which is at
tracing much attention and has
been declared to be the most COM
plete and attractive ever issued to
promote the sales of Knight-motor-
ed cars. 1t has also prepared an
educational booklet, why We Be-
lieve In the knight Motor" and
this is to be distributed soon. An
aggressive newspaper campaign in
all cities where the company has
representation is to be launched at
once.
Reports Encouraging.
Reports from the branches and
distributors are very encouraging
and prospects are bright for the
spring season. The factory is now
working full time with practic-
ally normal force and is turning
out cars at rate greater than last
years average.
1t is matter of considerable
pride to the R. &c v. management
and regarded as significant of the
public attitude toward the r. & v.
Knight line, that the East Moline
company was one of only four man
ufacturers in the country which in
1921 had sales in excess of those
OF 1920. Only one company In the
country had higher percentage OF
increase. The company confident
ly expects the 1922 record to ma
terially exceed that OF last year.
The new retail sales department
is one of the moves preparatory to
accomplishing the mark set for the
year.

of Food Exports

THE STOCK Of Democrats and free
Il traders is that protection rates cut down the export
business. Recent transaction in corn exports indicate
he fallaey of such argument. Prior to the passage
# the emergency tariff law. May 81, 1921, we were
importing large quantities of corn. principally from
argentina. The prices which the farmers were receiv-
reported from the middle west it was being used for
fuel. The emergency law placed a protective duty
on this product. Was that followed by a slump in
corn exports2 Not at all. The emergency law was
in effect seven months of 1921 and we exported 129,-
100000 bushels of corn for the year. compared with
100000 bushels for 1920. In December 1921, we
exported 10000, 900 bushels; in January, 1922, 49,,
100000 bushels; in February. 90, 500, 900 bushels. and
in March. % 100000 bushels. In these four months
VIC have exported 5000, 900 bushels of corn, and we
are still going strong. The corn duty has not de-
creased corn export
Or, take sugar, the duty of which was increased by
the emei yency tariff law. The export of sugar for
March last was about 10 times that for March a year
ago and 80 times the pre-war exports, the principal
takers being England, France, Spain, China. Egypt,
Argentine and Greece.
Wheat flour exports show an increase Of 20 per
cent over the same period of last year; we exported
10000, 0OU pounds of rice during the eight months
ended February IS, 1921, and 900. 900, 900 pounds
during January and February of this year. Dried
fruits, peanuts, peanut oil, and many other commodi-
ties which had protection restored to them by the
emergency tariff law, show marked increases in the
export trade.
True. when one comes to compare the total values
Of foodstuffs exported the latter half of last wear
and the first quarter of this, there is a decrease, but
It was not to be expeced that war time prices would
hang on forever. But when the 192i-22 figures are
compared with those for 1894 the showing is highly
satisfactory. For example our exports of foodstuffs,
crude and manufactured, for the eight months period
ended February. 1914, before the war in Europe be-
gan, totaled $4,000, 900 in value, while for the same
period ended February %, last, they totaled S791 600
600, an increase of $50 per cent over the pre-war nor
mai. So the argument that protection destroys export
trade is no better than many others which the onno-
nents or that policy have tried to substantiate.
