The farmers of the middle west are
feeling the practical benefits of the
laws enacted for their relief by the
Republican Congress. For example,
Chicago banks report that their Iowa
correspondents have reduced their
loans to 40 per cent less than the fig
ure at this time last year, and the
Iowa loans at the Chicago Federal Re-
serve Bank have been cut about 80
per cent since last year,

CORN PLANTING

Plant tested seed with high germi-
nation and plant only deep enough to
cover well. An inch of covering is
much better than more. If your field
is grassy it is a fine plan to replow
before planting If you cannot take
time to pillow it, plant and cultivate
the field directly after planting. Do
row unless you drag it off at once.

SCENIC HIGHWAY
FOR PROTECTION
AGAINST FLOODS
lspecial Moline Service. }

Construction of a high road along
the river front from Seventh street
to Nineteenth street, East Moline,
to serve as scenic highway as
well as to fortify the Watertown
district against food waters was
proposed to the city council of East
Moline by Oscar Eckerman, archi-
tect for Deere & Co, last evening,
The highway, according to the
estimate Of Mr.. Eckerman, would
cost between $4,000 and $50 900.
It would be constructed six feet
above food stage and would be ~
feet wide on top. The proposed
Improvement Mr.. Eckerman declar-
ed, would benefit owners of approx
inately 600 lots and a large area OF
farm land. He proposed that own
ers Of the properties benefited be
assessed for the cost of construc-
ton. Deere & Co., it is estimated,
would be assessed about two-thirds
Of the total cost
As further protection against
foods Mr.. Eckerman suggested the
straightening out OF Honey Creek,
in order that overflow water from
this stream would not affect so
large an area He also expressed
The opinion that the Milwaukee
road would cooperate in the move
ment by raising its tracks to a
height that would insure against
the possibilities OF washout by high
water. Two electric pumps, he ce-
i eiared, would take care of all over
low after the above mentioned I'M
proyements were made.
Both Mr.. Eckerman and Frank
Solo. real estate man for Deere IL
Co., urged that permanent protec-
uon be provided.
Instead of spending from $1,000
o $4,000 in building temporary
dams every time the river goes on
rampage" declared Mr.. Ecker
man, Il believe it would be more
economical and safer to construct
permanent dixie, such as we pro-
/ pose"
Mr.. Solo pleaded for immediate
action, declaring that the work on
me road could not be started be-
iore Sept. l, allowing 80 days for
disposition of preliminaries. If the
work Is delayed too long a time,
ne declared, it would not be pos
sioie to complete the highway be-
.ofe cold weather and the residents
the affected district would again
md themselves without protection
next spring. By getting immedi-
ae action the city would more like
II TO get sufficient number of
men to do the work at less cost
Members of the council, however,
we're OF the opinion that a project
such magnitude should have
.areiul consideration, and asked for
ume IN which to investigate the
proposal more thoroughly. Accord
ugly the aldermen, the city engi-
@tf and city attorney will go over
@e ground with Messrs. Eckerman
saa Solo Saturday afternoon. DEF
a,1e action on the proposal will be
aAen at the next meeting of the
council.

SPLENDID WORK BY Y. M. C. A.
DESERVES YOUR AID THROUGH
KOCk ISLAND COMMUNITY FUND

The Z. NJ. C. A organization has
been continuously in Rock Island
since 1884 and in the present build
Ing since 1913 and the work which
II mas been doing is known to prac-
tically everyone In this city.
You have always given necessary
moneys to carry en- the splendid
work and from the reports IT has
always been able to operate eco
nomically for the work that was
accomplished Sometimes II felt
that more could have been done had
more funds been available.
Many associations in cities of
this size are given much more by
the community annually than is
asked for this association. This
is accounted for in a way by the
net revenue from the 100 dormitory
rooms as well as by the rental
which is paid for by the cafeteria
department, These two things the
Rock Island association has, which
many have not.
The title to this building is in the
hands of a board OF trustees, al
lowing the board of directors to use
the Y. NJ. G. A. for activities such
as social, educational, religious,
physical. and home for young
men. The association carries on a
community work outside the build
ing in some of the schools and in
dustries.
The amount that was allowed
this year by the budget committee
for this worthy cause was $1,700
less than that allowed the year
before and the directors and secre-
taries will have to see to it that
the expenses are cut down to with
in the budget and yet accomplish
the same amount of work that is
now being done.
Facts and figures regarding the
! activities conducted by the Y. NJ.
c. A. derived from the records of
last year are as follows:
