Of SIS by Lone Bandat-New
Tactics Employed.

Gust A. Hellstrom, 1929 Six
teenth avenue. Moline, street car
operator on the Silvis line, was
held up and robbed of $45 and d
gold watch by a lone bandit at the
end of the line at 80 last night.
Entirely new tactics were employed
by the fellow who pulled last
nights job. Boarding the car
somewhere in Moline, according to
the story told by Hellstrom to the
East Moline police, the bandit hid
behind the curtain which shuts off
the light of the car from the op-
orators platform.
Arriving at the end Of the line on
his last trip, Hellstrom made pre-
parations for the return to the
barn. Unaware of the presence OF
the man, Hellstrom raised the cur
tain and found himself staring into
the muZZle of revolver held by a
small, rather thick-set man. He'll
strom raised his hands as com
manded while the bandit took $50
from the tray and $40 and a watch
from Hellstrom's pockets.
The robber then instructed the
operator to run the car back and
to keep going until he was told tl
stop. At the Twelfth street switch
in East Moline Hellstrom stopped
the car as ordered. The operator
prodded with the gun, got off the
car ahead of the bandit and was
marched west along the tracks fol

Eight Are Enrolled In Whistler
School In District Number -Four

Miss Helen Peterson has only eight
pupils to teach in district number
four The whistler School. But there
is at least one in every grade except
the fourth and sixth. According to the
Standardization report on buildings,
grounds and equipment, the school
gets 80 of the "a possible points. That
is not as many as several school have.
The equipment is the cause for the
greatest loss there being only an old
stove without a heating jacket, no
globe and not enough desks, etc. There
is no flag to fly or the clear days
either.
Worst of all is the water supply.
The report says the school lacks a san
itary water supply and that is an inn
portant consideration.
If there we're more pupils in the
school, more families to draw active
support from, more taxable property
in the district, the directors would
soon remedy these conditions. But
now they can only do their best to get
along with what they have. 1t will
take time and hard work to bring the
shoot up to the standard the commuD-
ity desires. In the meantime the stu
dents are learning a great deal from
their teacher and keeping up their at
tendance.
The trustees are VIM. Allen, clerk,
N. P Anderson and H. L. Robinson.

CLEAN UP WEEK PROCLAMATION.

Health and attractiveness of COM
munitieS demand that following the
close of the winter season and before
the beginning of the summers heat
there should be a general cleaning up
of deposits of animals and vegetable
matter and other debris which cannot
be prevented from accommodating by
any measure of precaution that can be
enforced, in order that unclean, I'M
healthful and unsightly conditions may
not prevail, generating and spreading
disease and breeding pestilential in
sects.
1t is deemed advisable and most con-
ducive to a general renovation where
by no n may have excuse for delay
or negligence to the detriment and
danger to the health of himself, his
family or of his neighbors, to set apart
a week wherein all good citizens are
called upon not alone to Sc that their
W premises are set in order, but that
a wholesome and effective community
spirit may be created.
We should consider it our duty at
all times to interest ourselves in the
welfare of the patriots who risked their
lives and endangered or impaired their
health for our national safety and Sc
curity during the World War. 1t is.
therefore, suggested to all communities
as we'll as a individuals that where
help has to be employed in the neces-
sary work incident to cleaning up of
premises, our ex-service men be given
the preference as far as practicable.
There fore, 1, d. ". Davis, Governor
Of the State of Idaho, do designate and
set apart the week beginning April 9th
and ending April 18th, as Clean Up
Week for the State of Idaho, and !
do call upon all citizens and all COM
munities to give every possible effort
toward making effective the spirit and
purpose of this proclamation by devot-
ing their time, attention and energies
to a cleansing and renovation of prem
fses belonging to and adjacent to their
places of abode.
In Testimony Whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal of the State to be be afixed this
twenty-fourth day Of March, 1922.

TUNING IN.
ROBERT o. JONES',
Secretary of State.

Farmers and townspeople in a Kan
sas country town recently listened to
al orchestra playing in a big city
nearly a hundred miles away. A COM
munity wireless-telephone outfit en-
abled them to enjoy this unusual pleas
ure. A few days late Secretary Her
bert Hoover announced that there are
more than 100000 privately owned
wireless-telephone sets in this country
where there were but $4,000 a year ago.
Thus another miracle" seems to be
slipping almost unawares into some
thing like common use. The telephone,
the automobile and the monograph
came in the same way-marvels for a
brief time, then a part of the ordinary
equipment of life for millions of fam
lilies in country and city.
Experts say the time is comparative
~ neal when the farm family, sitting
an their own comfortable home, can
tune in" to the proper wave length
and enjoy a concert or lecture in the
distant city. Already the Chicago and
Kansas City boards of trade are send
ing out market reports by radio. Pre-
dictions are eVer dangerous. But the
wireless telephone has had an amaz-
ingly swift growth. A great new farm
benefactor may truly be colse at hand.
