ENCOURAGED BY
BRIGHT OUTLOOK


Hedding college relocation be-
gins the fourth "a hours OF its in
tensive campaign for $500, 900 today
with increased vigor and optimism
as the result Of a meeting OF the
executive committee of seven last

reports were submitted.

the canvass state that the people as
q whole welcome them and express
interest in the progress Of their
work.
Headquarters Of the relocation in
the Carnegie library, Moline, hum
with the activities of the staff, ev-
lery room ON the second floor being
filled with busy workers.
Stress Is being laid by those who
are most active in the cause upon
the fact that the raising Of the
$780, 900 fund which will enable the
college to establish itself in Mo-
line, means that the college will
come in for an endowment OF
81, 000,0 900 from the Methodist Fps
copal national organization, and
that this sum will be expended ir

| Members of the special commit
tee who accepted the responsibility
Of membership with the definite
purpose Of relocating Hedding Col.
lege in Moline have issued a signe.
statement to the effect that the
habit of success is Rock Island
county characteristic, and that they
are imbued with the hope and be
lief that the sum sought as a goa
will be raised by the night O
July II.
At least $55o,ooo of the $500 ,Oo'
total will be used in the construc
ton and equipment of colleg,
buildings and the purchase of /;
suitable site, and the remainde
will pay all losses sustained il
moving from Abingdon to Moline.
Successful termination of tn,
campaign means that Hedding col
llege will open in temporary quar-
tiers for classes and that dormi
tories will be available.

DWELLINGS SHOULD HAVE
 SUITABLE MAIL REcEPTAcLEs

Postmaster John P Murphy has re- ceived the following communication on mail reeeptacles from the office of the first assistant postmaster:
 Mail receptacles save the carriers time and hasten deliveries. It is there fore our desire to have a suitable re- ceptacle of some character at every res idence, and if possible, at business hous- es.
 The absence of a small receptacle not only. tends to inconvenience the patron, but unquestionably results in inferior ser vice through delaying the carreir on his route
 In the circumstances carrier delivery service should not be extended to any new dwellings not equipped with suit able receptacle.
 When a patron changes his residence he wall be required to provide re- ceptacle at his new address before beng accorded delivery service.
 Wall paper too bold or bright in pat tern is said to be bad for the nerves.

FINAL CONTEST WON FOR

SILVER LOVING CUP
 The final basebalf+ game between the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotsr- club for the silver loving cup dohated by George W. Carroll will be played Monday at the State Hospital grfiin.ls through the courtesy of Dr. Wilcox. Each team has won one game. and the final game will be one of intense rivalry Both teams will eonfine their players 10 members of tbeir respective. organiz- ations. In all probability Edward Nc Kay of the Academy teaching staff will umpire the game. The Rotary club team defeated the New London Rotary last Wednesday. thus permanently securing the cup offered three years ago for the winner of that series. Naturally the Rotary club will make every effort to annex the game Monday to their list of victories and thus perma nently secure the Carroll cup. But the Chamber boys are on their metal, too Claude Pendleton and Jimmy Quinn are resolved that their braves will carry home the bacon They have strengthened their team consider ably by adding members to the Chan, Der who were not available for the previous games And so the story goes. The game is for blood. the rivalry is l intense and no doubt a large numbAr of rooters of both teams will be on hand to witness the battle. In order I that nine innings may be played the game is called for o'clock at the State Hospital grounds. The Bankers of Nor wich have challenged the Chamber of | Commerce team and a game will be ar ranged to comply with the wishes of | the Bankers
 The lineup of the Chambers team will be as follows: E. A. Harris D. r. Dr;s- 1 coll. Meredith Lee. F. P. Houston, H
