TO CELEBRATE
S|GNERS' DAY
Anniversary Of Constitution o
the United States Call to
Patriotic PURPOSE.

Tomorrow, Sept. II, is the 135th
anniversary of the signing of the
constitution Of the United States OF
America, and Monday, luncheon
clubs and Rock Island schools will
observe the event by patriotic talks
and programs. The high school
will have a general assembly and
will commemorate the signing OF
the constitution by a patriotic pro-
gram. The Rotary and Exchange
clubs will probably devote sessions
later in the week to reference to
the day and its import.
Patriotic orders in Rock Island
have urged group programs to
commemorate the day, and in a
plea for such celebration one said:
1T is a civic duty and should be a
personal pleasure to recall on that
date the unselfish devotion and the
loyalty of the delegates Of the con,
stitutional convention.
"A practical form of government
was wrought from an ideal, and a
nation was formed in which liberty
is the heritage of every citizen. 1t
is 1876 years since that document
was signed by those patriots, and
in that short lapse of time this ma
ton has emerged from a wilder
ness into a thriving nation and one
that will not shirk when duty
| calls"
1T has been said the enemies Of
the constitution and the foes Of
constitutional government have, in
| the last few years, had more stu
dents of their vicious, unpatriotic
un-American doctrines than have
those who would protect the con-
stitution and defend constitutional
government. We hate to think this
is true, even as we hate to admit
the growing tendency to ignore the
law and defy the plain provisions
of the constitution: to establish
Justice, insure domestic tranquil
ity, provide for the common de-
tense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings of libert!
to ourselves and our pOsterity."
All states are making prepare
ton for the celebration. Pastors
will deliver appropriate sermons
on Sunday morning or unite il
service Sunday evening. Patriot,
| societies all over the country ar
preparing programs for their meet
ings next week.

completely without n water supply as
a result of the drought. The wells. on

uli and some are already without
water. Persons whose welle have en-
tls:ely dried mp are forced to carry
water from the homes OF neighbors
who are fortunate enough to still have
a eupply. In the event OF all the wells
giving out, 1t will be necessary for the
people to carry water from outlying
springs and creeks. which are In some
cases quite a distance away
Newton l.. Grubb, member of the

commenced TO shrink and wither. and
the late crops OF white and sweet po-
tatoes. corn and beans, are unable 10
