The law-abiding people of Rock Island,
men and women. almost to the last, one, have
gone on record as endorsing the campaign Of
The Argus to make the city safe and decent.
They have an opportunity tomorrow to PROVE
their sincerity by going to the polls and voting
for men they are convinced will carry out their
wishes the next four years as their public on
Gals. Resolutions or talk don't elect the men

The tariff is not the issue before the people
of Rock Island county tomorrow. There is only
one issue, and that issue is whether you want a
government directed the next four years under
the domination Of the prostitutes, bootleggers,
gamblers. thieves and gunner, or whether you
want it conducted in the interest of common
decency and safety. Remember you are the
one to determine that issue, and the only way
you can do it is by going to the polls and voting

The bellboy came leisurely to the
desk of Angie Drew, the stenogra-
pher of Hotel Marlin, and in a
drawing voice said:
"Hysterical skirt in room Al
wants 3 woman, SO / guess you'd
better go up and do some consol-
ing. Looks like she'd lost her best
friend, anyhow"
= Now Angie was good-natured
girl Of Is, who had never had 70
nance, and well she knew the rea-
son. She was inclined towards
"plumpness," and was very plain,
her hair boosted of no wave, and
somehow she always seemed to
shine. especially her nose. Yes, she
powdered. In fact, her pun was
usually working overtime, but shine
she did, just the same.
Its my good nature oozing out" y
she jokingly told her friends, $50
why worry"
So romance and Angie somehow
got sidetracked, but she kept her
good nature and was ever ready TO
help anyone who was glum and un-
happy.
The elevator stopped at the sec
ond floor and Angie raped softly
at No. Al. 1t was opened immedi-
ately and she saw before her for
lorn and bedraggled slip of wom-
an with eyes red and swollen from
weeping.
J Opening her arms, Angie said
cheerfully: Right here, grille, or
| my shoulder. That's right, have a
good cry. l know-just like the
little lady in No. % last month-all
alone, lonesome and just longing
for some woman to tell her trOu-
bles to- When you're ready, I'll be
listening"
After few moments the sobs
abated, and she managed a tremu
lous smile.
I'm so foolish-there's nothing
really the matter, only, as you said
lonesome, blue. You see, I'm thu
leading lady - in fact, the only
woman in the company that played

This is Gertie Fellows. mother,

wearied of eating a bite here, a
bite there, sometimes half cooked
and cold. This was a real meal,
and it was light-hearted girl who
arose from the table, refreshed and
satisfied.
On the way to Rev. Mr.. 0raham's
home they passed the little stone
library. where most of the young
chaps congregated. in hopes OF
picking up "sweetie."
Many caps were raised as Angie
and her friend went past, and ad-
miring glances were cast in Ger
ties" direction.
Angles heart beat faster than
her new friends. Even though she
knew the boys looked straight over
her head she was proud that it was
she who was responsible for the
flutter of excitement.
Evening, Angie" one Of the
boys called out. Coin to the fes-
tival?''
Yes. Bob Aren't you fellows
, going? Everybody will be there"
/ and her eyes twinkled as they all
! smiled and in unison said:
"Sure-well see you later,"
So a circle of boys surrounded
the two girls soon after their ar
rival, and "Gertie" spent the eve
ming happily. Ice cream-she ate
! SO much of it she was ashamed,
land Bob would heap her arms with
boxes of candy. 1t came to an end
all too soon. Angie had found a
tall, lanky. blonde chap, who was
feeding her ice cream from his
dish, while her eyes shone and her
cheeks flushed until she looked al
most pretty.
The four Of them went home to-
gether, and when they reached An
gie's house they stopped, evidently
thinking her friend was stopping
there.

beamed happily. SO. linking his

his cap he turned to go. But Ger

both her arms around her neck and
whispered:
Thanks, dear. I've had a glo-
rious time. I'll never forget you
and I'll surely write" and with a
dozen kisses she walked away with
} her friend gazing fondly into bel
. eyes.
In front Of the hotel "Gertie's'
escort finally said: You're q
mighty nice girl, Certie. Can l set
you again soon?"
With a light laugh that caught il
; her throat like sob, she replied

She hurriedly left him, runninI
quickly up the steps. Her last looi
made her laugh and cry in tn

blank look on his face, hat in hand

MUTUAL LIFE HAS
PROSPEROUS YEAR

The Mutual Life Insurance conf
pany OF New York. the oldest Amer
ican life insurance company, reports
q. prosperous year in 1891, notwlth-
standing the almost universal busi-
ness depression. The new insurance
paid for totaled $343,75O,SSS, and the
company's outstanding insurance on
Dec. 81 reached tire imposing aggre-
gate OF S2,472,651.779. -.
Payments TO policy holders IN l9-I
were S95.239,2S9, and receipts from
policyholders were $9O,309,699. Amone
the payments TO policy holders were
s27. .770,21S in death claims. SlO,ofz'-
0O6 in endowments, $2,59S.724 in an
nuities, and $26,09O.S45 in DIVIDENDS
to policyholders; the company is
purely mutual and has no STOCK
holders.
With all signs pointing to a more
healthy business condition in 1877. II
Is likely that. although life insur-
ance had little to complain OF IN
1921, the total amount of new ousl-
ness issued in 1922 will be much
greater than it was last year. Inc
removal of the federal income tax on
life insurance paid as death claims
to corporations is certain to give
strong impetus to the already heavy
employment of life insurance for the
protection of business interests.

who was the rock of their refuge
whenever men rose up against them.
Under His guidance they nave Waseo
an age-iong combat against error ana
malice to the end that persecution ana
injustice might everywhere be up
rooted. Linked with this faith was
the hope that here on earth. the foot
stool Of God, men and women from
all countries and nations would pay
homage to God alone as their sole
Ruler.
Purim has always been the occasion
for mirthful celebrations In jewish
familieds an social groups. However
unhappy the lot Of the Jew. Purim has
been made a season of merriment.
While the synagog echoes the undoing
of Haman and the triumph of Morde-
cal, Jewish social centers and homes
are the scenes of activities and enter
tainment in which men, women and
children participate. AS on all occa-
sions of happiness the Jewish people
consider those whose lot has not fallen
in pleasant places. 80 on this feast Of
Purim they remember those who are
in need, and the giving of gifts TO the
poor and afflicted constitutes one Of
the outstanding features of the fes-
tival.
For the Jewish people of the United
states the festival of Purim has an
added attraction this year due to the

A masque dance will be given by
the Sisterhood of Temple Beth Israel
at the Woman's club, Wednesday eve
ming at $3.50 O'Clock, in celebration of
the feast of Purim. The festival has
always been connected with the idea
of jollification in Jewish communi-
ties.
The children Of the religious schools
will give a play based on the histor-
ical part of the festival.
The mirthful feast of Purim Will
be celebrated in Jewish circles this
year on Monday evening, March Ia,
with a special service in the syna-
gog While a holiday of a minor
character it's use of the scroll of
Esther has endeared the festival 10
the Jewish people who make it an
occasion for popular rejoicing,
The services for this festival are
wholly concerned with the reading Of
the story of Esther, which, from time
to time, assumed a more prophetic
character and forevisiohed, in part,
the checkered career of the Jews.
On this day the Jewish people re-
member the miraculous redemption
wrought for their ancestors by the
loyalty and devotion Of Mordecai,
uncle of Queen Esther. whose fidelity
TO his king and country made possible
the rescue of the king from the hands
of plotters.
The particular element in the Book
of Esther that appeals to the fancy
and emotion of the Jewish people is
the overthrow of Haman, arch enemy
of the Jew, who had plotted to de-
stroy all the Jewish people through
out the Persian Empire. The
thirteenth day of the twelfth month
according to the Hebrew calendar,
was set aside for this terrible pogrom.
His bloody designs would have been
executed had not the courage OF
Queen Esther, the Jewess selected by
Ahasuerus, king of Persia, for his
wife, and Mordecai her uncle, frus-
trated Haman's murderous intentions
and brought them to nought.
Throughout all the centuries the
Jewish people have interpreted the
narratives compiled in the Book OF
| Esther in the light of their own event
! full career. II seemed to them that
the destiny of Esther and her people
| in the realm of Persia was typical OF
those events that befell the Jews II
| all other periods. AS they were saved
then, so would they be rescued in al
times of peril. Hence they confidently
trusted in the God Of their fathers
