expected that the second troop will
be completed within a short time.
Mr. Craig is an enthusiastic scout
master, and hopes to make the scout

group was scheduled for a short hike
this afternoon.

On these hikes the boys become ac
quainted with the country surround

and flowers and stones, and they eas

cumstances. As much work as possi

the fine weather of the fall, and some
of the activities will be continued in
the open even through the winter
season.

The Automatic ' npany has filed

guarantee the ci' .gainst loss ln any

that ths paving will be relaid in good
condition. A .skilled workman can put

asphalt pavements will acknowledg"
that a fatch Is better than the orig

and the oil has not evaporated out of
the asphalt, as it bas in that which
was laid some time before. In this
day and age a skilled workman can do
anything as well or better than it was
ever done before. Putting back pave

Infinitely easier job than many of rte
engineering feats of today, such as the
Panama canal, the Keokuk dam. and a
sky-scraper a thousand feet high, etc.
The streets of Rock Island belong to
the city for the good of all and not for
any one individual. The Automatic
Telephone company has to put the pav

the bond to the city.
The Automatic Telephone company
will save the citizens of Rock Island
a million dollars ln a few years. If
Rock Island had as many telephones
as a number of other cities in propor
tion to the population. It would have
10,000 telephones, and the Automatic
Telephone company will save on an '
average $15 per telephone per year;!
This would equal $150,000 a year, or
$1,000,000 in a little- over six years, j
This large sum of money would re-
pave the streets of Rock Island and
add many other improvements, such
as boulevards, parks, hospitals, libra

member comes, under ' the . designa
tion, "The Tik-Tok Man of O:;," ana
depicts Betsy Bobbin, with her pet
mule. Hank. Lenora Xovasie will be
the Betsy and Frank Woodward, the
most versatile of animal impersona
tors, the mule. The two well known
vaudeville headlines, Morton and
Moore, will portray Tik-Tok and Shag
gy. "The Tik-Tok Man of Oz" is a
musical venture of Oliver Morosco,
who of late has come into the lime
light as a producer of such successes
as "Peg o' My Heart," "The Bird of
Paradise" and "The Mooney Moon."
"The Tik-Ti?k Man of Ou" has the
proud distinction of having outlived
the hot spring and ; summer months
in Chicago and to - have played to
record business despite the hot nights
that the Windy City has been noted
for the past few months ago. This
attraction, further, carries more stage
effects than any other yet booked for
the coming season- and rby far the
largest clforus and the most expensive
cast so tar nocked into this city.
Considering the enormity of this pro
duction, the coming of "The Tik-Tok
Man of Oz" has auspicious attributes
not to be undervalued.
Considerable interest attaches to the
first engagement here of "Fine Feath
ers," which H. H. Frazee will pre
sent here Oct. 25, at the Illinois in
next week at the Empire, having betn
booked for the first three days. "Paid
in Full," of which Eugene Walter is
the author, is the story of a sullen,
vicious, resentful husband, who has
become, embittered by the daily grind,
so that every spark of manhood has
honor has been wiped out. He finally
sacrifices his wife,' to smear over. If
possible, with his employer, his theft.
The very goodness, and innocence of
the wife is her most effective shield.
