AS HARVEY MOORE
 TOLD IT :

Mir. Harvey Moore, who
 has just returned to Hol-
 brook after a prolonged stay in the upper-country where
 he has been working with an outfit on the line of the
 Navajo-Apache Telephone Company tells us tEat one of their crew, and a very important member at that. met with a serious accident last week.
 This is another tale. The gentleman in question found the affair very painful, Har- vey says, but will no doubt convalesce rapidly when he discovers that it has added greatly to his stylish appear ance. He, the he of whom Harvey was speaking, is a pedigreed bull pup, and at present he is sporting an ex- ceedingiy abbreviated tail. which sets him up several notches higher in the aristo- cracy of dogdom, even if it was produced by the aid of a sharp knife instead of by old Dame Natures primeval plan. This is the tale liar vey told US, and he ought to be ashamed to spool two in nocent appearing ladies in the fashion in which he did with this narrowing tale.

Representatives of manufacturing
institutions and others interested
in the relieving of flood conditions
in lower Rock Island will meet with
Col. Harry Burgess. head Of the L.
S. engineers office, and commit
tees of the Rock Island Chamber
of Commerce and Real Estate board
tomorrow afternoon at $50 O'Clock
and discuss the construction of a
dixie or other protective structure in
the flood area. Col. Burgess has
made a survey of the district at the
request of the Chamber of Com
merce.
That organization has appointed
committee consisting of Walter
A Rosenfield, G. r. Nourse and R.
T. McConochie to work in conjunc-
ton with similar committees from
the real estate board and west-end
property owners in hope that so
luton of the problem of the spring
floods may be solved.
All property owners in the flood

OF C. 0. WORK
Keys to Direct DOwnstate Cam
paign From Springfield; Rosen-
field in Chicago Office.

Downstate headquarters OF the
Republican state central commit
tee will be established in Spring
field with George E. Keys, Spring
field, in charge, according to an
nouncement made by Walter A.
chairman.
Establishment of the Spring feld
office was discussed at the recent
meeting in the capital and was de-
cided upon last week in Chicago in
conference with the state central
committee and the district leaders.
Major Rosenfield will be in charge
of the Chicago headquarters which
will conduct the campaign in that
city and northern Illinois. From
the Springfield office, the central
and southern district campaigns
will be directed. A woman's bu-
reau is to be opened in Chicago and
it is likely that similar work will
be undertaken from the Springfield
headquarters.
Preliminary survey OF the state
politics canvassed at the first ex-
ecutive committee session last week
brought forth Major Rosenfield's
prediction that the party will de-
liver 100000 majority to the G. o.
P. candidates in the fall. He ad-
mitted. however. that it was not
likely that the November elections
would pile up as great majorities
as in the Harding campaign.
