Good roads are subject to the nat
ural laws of creation the same as aU
things else in the world of existence.
A public spirit of co-operation is sub
ject to the same natural law of growth
and development.
We cannot have good roads in Rock
Island county unless the people of this
unit community so wills, and we can
not create and manifest a practical
spirit of co-operaUon without the same
willing process.
If anyone doubts that there Is a
hearty spirit of co-operation develop
ing in this community, let such person
buy a ticket to the good roads boll
Friday evening. May 29, at the Moline
Commercial club rooms.
This budding spirit will be manifest
ed there in joy and thankfulness that
the days of superstitious limitations
are slowly but surely passing away,
never to return.
It Is just as natural for the people to
dance as it is for Iambs to play. In
so doing they develop their musc'.es
and innocently express the joy of Hv
Ing. A lamb that will not play is
sickly and its natural development be
comes stunted. Boys and girls, men
and women, who do not care for this
Innocent amusement are aso sickly in
spirit-
There are as many different degrees
of spirit as there are degress of Intel-
licence and understanding of the nat
ural laws governing the creative woria.
When we more fully understand these
laws, we will not idly long for the
betterment of human conditions, but
... ( i i : i
we will exercise our uuugiifii spun
by getting intelligently to work to
better these conditions ourselves. We
will also recognize that everything
works for good in the world of crea
tion.
There may be some good earnest
people In this community who may not
care to dance, but they are equally in
terested in the question of good roads
with those who do. If they do not care
to dance, they can help this common
cause along by buying ball tickets and
exchanging the same for regular mem
bership cards in the association. "
The ball function has received the
hearty endorsement of the commercial
organizations of Rock Island. Moline
and East Moline. as well as other live
organizations who have the interest of
the community at heart.
Such organizations are nerve cen
ters in a body politic They are as
necessary as tne nerve centers in a
human body. Both comparatively per.
form the same functions.
Individuals in a community body can
as compared to the Individual cells 'n
a human body. All nave important
functions to perform for the healthy
development of the body, and when
they co-operate for the good of the
whole, the body has attained a state
of perfection.
The Rock Island county community
is fast reaching that stage of under
standing, and as tne edict has gone
forth from an enthusiastic and willing
army of co-operators that "we will"
have good roads, we certainly will, and
when we have them Rock Island coun
tp will have attained to an envied
state of perfection.
Let us all work for better roads
now. ,
COUNCIL HOLDS A
SPECIAL SESSION
No Action 13 Taken Upon Man
damus Actions Brought by
Insurgent Woodmen.
The executive council of the Modern
Woodmen of America, which met In
this city in special session yesterday,
adjourned in the afternoon without
having taken up action on any mat
ters. The session was more in the form of
a conference and a talk of the manda
mus suits filed against them by Insur
gent leaders, and which are scheduled
tomorrow.
The claim Is made by officials of the
lodge that the credentials were never
refused, and that owing to matters of
business resulting from the state
camps recently that attention could
not be given the demands of lnsur-
gents.
It Is further claimed by them that
three years ago the credentials for
the head camp were not issued until
June 10.
A NEW COOPERATIVE
STORE MOVEMENT ON
John Mager, the veteran foundry
owner, announces that there will be
a meeting at Turner ball next Sunday

tion to place a store in each of the
tri-cities, beginning with groceries and
gradually branching out into other
lines, particularly fuel.
"No particular class or organization
is backing this movement," said Mr.
Mager. "I have been working on it
for more than a year and have found
a good deal or encouragement. I am
confident that we can save a great
deal of money for consumers .and at
the same time make profits enough to
run the business."
that a local improvement be made by
paving Thirty-first street from Fifth
avenue to Sixth avenue and Sixth ave
nue from Thirty-first street to Thirty
fourth street, the ordinance for the
same having been filed in the office of
the city clerk, and having applied to
the county court of Rock Island county
for an assessment of the costs of the
improvement, according to frontage,
and an assessment therefor having
been made and returned to said court,
the final hearing thereon will be had
on the seventh day of June, A.D., 1914,
at the hour of 9:00 o'clock a. m. or as
soon thereafter as the business of the
court will permit. All persons desir
ing may file objections In said court
before said day, and may appear gPp.
the hearing and make. their defense.
Said assessment is payable In eight
installments except the first shall b$ar
lnterest from and after the datej.oJ
confirmation until paid, at the rate f
five per cent per annum. '
