MAKE PLANS TO
REBUILDLOND0N
BLOCK SHORTLY
Irving Strasburger, Son-in-Law Of
Late ]. b. Sax, Plans to Re-
place Store Building.

Plans to replace the London
block, destroyed by fire in January,
were being made today by Irving
Strasburger, son-in-law to the late
J. B. Sax, Ottumwa, Iowa, owner of
the building.
Mr.. Strasburger was in the city
Horn, architects, who will draw the
sketches for the new building. Ten
tative plans were outlined. The ac-
tual building will be withheld, how
ever, until Mr.. Sax's will is probated
and the estate settled.
However, the block will be re-
placed as soon as possible after the
estate is settled. Mr. Strasburger
left for his home in New York this
evening. The preliminary plan for
the building, which will follow Ma
Sax's early plans is to have the
structure rebuilt, keeping the side
walls intact 1t will call for a
modern building, similar to the old
block, three stories high, with Of
fees on the second and third floors.
The fire last January started in
the basement of the building, the
cause being unknown. 1t went
through stock stored in the base
ment, wrecking the merchandise Of
the Kresge company on the first
floor, and destroying office furni-
ture of the Fidelity Loan company
and Browns Business college on
the second and third floors. The in
terror of the building is completely
ruined. but the side walls are said
to be in excellent condition.

PRESS CLUB PAYS
FINAL TRIBUTE TO
HENRY WATTERSON

AT March meeting of the Tri-city
Press club. resolutions upon the
death of Henry watterson, honor
airy member of the club and fore
most of American journalists, were
read. Copies were sent to the Wat
terson family and became record of
the tri-city club. The committee
which prepared the resolutions con-
sisted of Robert Rexdale, H. p.
Simpson, Paul Kersch and j. E
Hardman. The resolutions follow:
Henry Watterson is dead.
The Great Maker has recalled the
last of His American apostles.
Truth, honor, justice, liberty,
beauty and American tradition had
no more passionate, eloquent, fear
less and unselfish champion.
All that is noblest, truest, most
chivalrous and staunch, bred of his
soil, he embodied. Who to measure,
How much of his Irresistible
idealism drove men and events
higher on;
How much of the fine silk woven
into the spirit of the reunited ma
ton sprang from his loom;
How much of the traditional in
stitutions yet surviving due to his
passion;
How much of the nations fine
temper sprang from his flaming
forge?
Amidst the ever rising. soaring,
lurching tide of materialism and
binding and ensIaving the best in
public life, in press and pulpit, the
stalwart, lonely figure of this grim
old warrior stuck to his laundering
guns, unbending to his dying breath,
waving high and ablazing the sac
red fires kindled in the agony of the
nations birth.
OF heroic mould, he was yet like
his beloved idol, old ABE" Lincoln,
sWeetly human, deeply attached,
generous and kindly, capturing the
heart and firing the Imagination
till the mere thought of him makes
men better.
So in the hearts he lived and
loved in he cannot die, nor can his
place be taken. And it's well. For
thus marks the Master his apostles;
that though wrenched from earth,
entrenched forever in the heart;
and marks He the doom of nations
with their apostles passing from
their hearts.
AS we now silently rise in rev.
erence to the memory of our most
honored fellow, and most beloved
and distinguished master of our
craft, our hearts reach out to his
beloved ones at home, hoping vain
1y perhaps that this simple tribute
of his fellows may sweeten a bit
the lonely burden of the sorrow
they must bear now to the end.

AUcUSTANAIS
DEBATE VICTOR
Defeats Monmouth and Illinois in
Open Shop Argument; String OF
Victories UnbrOken.

Augustana college debating teams
won the triangular contest between
Illinois, Monmouth and Augustana
colleges last evening. The Luth-
eran affirmative team defeated the
negative debaters of Illinois col
lege at Rock Island by a 2 to l
score, and Augustana's negative
team won from Monmouth's affirm
alive in Monmouth. to 1.
The question was: Resolved,
That the principle of the closed
shop is justifable in industry"
The Illinois negative team was
represented by Richmond Thoma-
son, Charles Ray Gruny and Joe
Butcher.
The Augustana affirmative de
baters forced argument upon the
right of labor to organize. The IL
linois debaters spoke favorably of
unions, but the Augustana team
pointed out that its opponents had
failed to show that unions could
not effectively function under the
principle of the closed shop.
Judges in Rock Island were Ray
C. Pellet, Aledo; Professor H. J.
Barton. University of Illinois, and
Rev. F. S. Brewer, Geneseo.
Last nights victory by both the
affirmative and negative teams for
Augustana gives the Lutheran de-
baters a clean sweep of this years
contests. 1t is the first 1ime in the
history of the school that Angus
tana has won every one of its de-
batting contests.
Coached by Professor A F. Scher-
stem, the teams are composed of
Earl Hanson. Barbara Garst and
Fritiof Fryxell on the affirmative
side; Roy Johnson, Cyrus Church
i'll and E Munson making up the
negative team, with James Berry
and Louise Waller as alteTnates.

Some motor car factories are
turning out more cars than ever
before in their history, and one
producer alone will add 5000 men
to his payroll April 1. Prices have
not entirely stabilized, as the last
week has seen one price cut and a
corresponding advance in quota
tions by another company. Many
automobile and accessory produc-
ers, however, afe working at more
than normal capacity.
Tire production is slackening,
but this reduction is counter-bal-
anced by increased speed of turn
over. In lumber, new business is
well over production and produc-
ton is almost at normal in nearly
every section.
Oil men predict a general ad-
vance in prices and their predic-
tons have been supported by scat
tered increases in several fields.
