YEOMEN PLAN
TWO HOMES ON
ONE LOCATION
Institution for Aged to Be Built on
Same Site as Children's
Center.

Rock Island Chamber of Com
merce officials have been informed
that the Brotherhood of American
Yeomen which is TO erect a $10,-
100000 children's home will in all
probability build an old peoples
home on the same site.
This announcement will give new
impetus TO the movement to secure
the location OF the mammoth in
stitution in Rock Island county.
The children's home plant will
include a group of brick buildings
approximating 125 in number. AS
the result of conferences held with
manufacturers by the local organ
ization officials, the furnishing of
materials for building construction
at cost is being favorably consid-
cred.
An arrangement will be made to
secure the necessary land for the
institution without requiring pay
ment of the usual commission.
1t is assured that the directors
of the national Yeomen organiZa-
ton will be offered concessions
that will be of a very favorable
character. Those backing the move
ment feel optimistic over the out
look and believe that if the citi-
zens in general show lively in
terest in the proposition the
chances of location being chosen
in Rock Island county are bright.
Home Size Not Fixed.
Information is not yet available
in regard to the size of the old peo-
pies home contemplated by the
order, but the decision to locate
both institutions on the same site
will result in speeding up the pro-
posal to have Rock Island county
chosen as the site of two institu-
tions which would make this local
ity the mecca of a national frater-
nifty.
Every indication points to the
organization of a second home
stead of the order in Rock Island,
to be chartered in May, when a
visit by the Yeomen directors is
anticipated
