FORCED TO CUT
ROAD PROGRAM
Especial Correspondence.)

GaIva, June 24.-Three of the
five carloads of oil shipped from
Kansas Monday arrived here late
Thursday evening. The other two
are expected very soon. Fourteen
cars were at first ordered, but a
part of this order has been rescind-
ed. On account of the lack of
available funds just at the present
time made it necessary this week
for the Galva township officials to
cancel a contract with the l.. S.
Kuhn company of Bloomington, ILL.,,
for 10000 gallons of road oil for
this township. This will only per-
nit part of the proposed work of
oiling to be done at this particular
time. Only one-half of the roads
outlined will be oiled The city
streets will be oiled as planned.
Orders are coming in every day
from the residents of the city ask
ing when the oil was expected and
stating that, they wished the street
to be oiled past their residence
The failure to raise the required
amount of the funds to carry this
work out in full in the country was
the failure of all rural districts to
respond to the call for funds with
which to carry out this work. All
of the township rural roads that
were not oiled last year will be
oiled this year.

WAR VETS HOLD
FINAL SESSION
OF CONVENTION
Carlstrom Gives Stirring Address
General Bell Blames Pactists
for Unrest.
Especial to The Argus.)

Sterling, June 24.-Today is the
last day of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars state encampment. The boys
have had big time here this week.
The crowd has not been as large as
was expected but everyone has
been having a fine time.
Yesterday the United Spanish
War Veterans presented the big
captured cannon to the city OF
Sterling at a very impressive GER
vice. Oscar e. Carlstrom of Aledo,
national commander of the U. S.
W. V, and General George Bell,
Jr., made the presentation speeches
and the cannon was accepted by
Captain Jacob Hoofstittler of Ster-
ling, in behalf of the city.
Commander Carlstrom made a
stirring address in which he lauded
the boys OF 'S8 and the service they
rendered to their country when the
call was made by President Will
liam ]. Mckinley He gave a brief
review of the various events of the
war.
General Bell lambasted the
pacifists and credited them with
the present unsettled conditions.
He made a plea for military train
ing in the United States. He told
of Switzerland, a little nation
which is always prepared for war
and always has peace. We must
have peace even if we must fight
for it, the general said.
The reason so much money is
wasted in times of war in this
country is caused by the fact that
we are never prepared and every
thing must be done in a hurry and
necessitates the spending of vast
sums of money that otherwise
would be saved.
Today the election OF officers for
the ensuing year will take place.
and the place Of the next meeting
Will be announced. Aurora is max
ing a strong bid for the next con-
vention, and R. A. Burleigh, a local
man, IS making a strong fight for
the office of commander.

Thomas, who was the mother of
Mrs Minnie Greene and Mrs. E. B.
Gilbert, both of this city.

is a memorial window in honor of
Rev. Mr.. Andrews and his son.

day, when the Andrews family met
at the Geneseo Outing club grounds

especial interest was given. The
out-of-town guests numbered near
