GARBAGE QUESTION Is
BoTHERING BURLINGTON

The city of Burlington is investiga-
ting the methods of destroying garb-
age in other cities with a view of in
stallng Il sanitary plant. Located on
the river, as Rock Island is, it has
been found necessary to discover
some way to do away with garbage
other than by dumping it into the
stream to annoy jewellers on the river
below and to poIlute the water for
many miles. Several systems have
been found to be giving satisfaction
and the Burlington officials have de
cidcd to recommend one il which the
garbage is burned.
This i the course that Rock Island
will be compelled to take in a short
time unless the proposition now be-
fore the council or some other SIM
liar to to it for placing the matter in
the hands of private concern is ac-
ccpted.

HONEY WILL BE CHEAP:
GREATEST CROP SINCE 81

Honey will he cheap this fall. In
fact, il is much cheaper now than it
has been for some years. There will
be an enormous crop of the product.
\ wcll-known bcckccpcr says that II
is we'll night impossible to tell what
the yield of honey will be this year.
He has his hands full in keeping ahead
of his bees i'm caring for the honey. 50
fast are the bees working. The crop
is enormous, and the largest since
that of 1881. if not greater. This is
true of only four of the middle states
including Illinois. In all the other
states the honey crop is no larger
than in former years.
The quality of the honey this year
is the best The white clover is to be
found everywhere. the blossoms are
filled with juice, making the honey of
unusually fine quality.
