subJec, on that occasion, tThe

Sunday with a message to the
mother and her duties in the
home, and to conclude these talks
next Sunday morning with an ap-
peal to the children to observe
their relationship to their par
ents and the home
The two sermons on this sub
Ject that he has preached have
been interesting and helpful, and
remarked on by several as being

Wilson in Honor Hall.

Rock Island, Aug. 19.-Editor Ar
gus: AS stranger in your city, l
wish to express a word Of praise
for your courage in writing the edi-
torial, 1T Should be Wilson Hall"
In spite Of anything those in charge
of the Valley Forge museum may
do, Woodrow Wilson will go down
in history as the personification CT
the World war period. And the
space which his name should oc-
cupy will be a dishonor to the 9TH
er great names and to the commit
tee that will be remembered, if at
all, for their littleness and failure
to recognize the great modern Per-
icles. We are reminded of Paul,
who saw among the statues one
dedicated to the Unknown Cod"
and recognized in it his own,
though unnamed.

PRODUCERS TO
! Al Ter SCHEME
Of MILK PLANT
Private Ownership Instesd Of Co
operative Company II Saa6cient
Stock Is Not Taken.

II the sale Of stock in the pro-
posed cooperative milk plant now
under consideration by producers
does not warrant continuation OF
the plan, it is probable that private
ownership will be substituted for
the present cooperative company.
Milk producers in Farmers Ele-
vator hall, Taylor Ridge, last eve
ming were addressed by Chris Lar
son, Chicago, head OF the milk mar
keting department Of the Illinois
Agricultural association, and F. A
Cougar, Quincy, farm adviser Of
Adams county.
The plant will be launched as a
| private enterprise by men who have
been active in behalf Of the milk
producers in their controversy with
, Rock Island milk dealers over the
gallon price of the product, it was
announced when reports indicated
| that the stock sale was not salts

The meeting Of last evening was
attended by about 80 producers
and reports were made to the eff.
feet that 125 persons had subscrib.
ed $4,000 worth of stock in the
new enterprise.
Make Final Effort.
The sale of stock will be contin
ued, but if the producers find they
will not be able to secure stocl
subscriptions to the amount neces
sary, the plans will be altered tt
permit the organization of a pri
vate concern which will operate
the plant along the general lines
contemplated by the original pro
moters
| Decision as to this will be reach
ed in the course of the next few
days.

gus: I read the dig which you
directed in your editorials about
the taxicab drivers who are per-
mitted to park their cars on Second
avenue in the 1900 block while
waiting for calls. You ought to
know that this custom is followed
in most cities. We have our call
stations and seek to keep parked
close to them to be prepared for a
ready response to our patrons. We
don't aim to clutter the avenue to
the discomfort or inconvenience Of
others. Most Of US are taxpayers,
and / feel that we are entitled to
enjoy undisturbed the privileges
which we have. Some of US have
to be taxi drivers, and those Of US
who are seeking to carry on our
business with proper regard to the
rights of others ought not to be
driven away from the main source
of traffic. II you will take the
trouble to investigate, you will find
that most Of our taxicab drivers are
Trustworthy young fellows and that
the only reason they loaf on the
avenue is because they haven't at
the time anything to occupy their
time. TAXICAB OWNER.

There is no question that condi-

to know that some attention has
been given to the vice situation,
though there remains much yet to
be done. My idea is that a begin

sorts reopled by whites and blacks.
