the army regulations, | have request
ed the war department to make the
inspection. After it has been made I
am sure that with the recruiting of
the past few days both of them will
muster the required number of men.
Then if any more troops from Illinois
are asked for by the government they
will be mustered into service and vol

INCREASE FORCE
FOR The ARSENAL
Colonel Burr Announces That Two
Hundred or More Unskilled La
b0rers viii Be Put TO Work.
NEED SKILLED WORkMEN ALSO
Present Material Must Be Gotten Out
Immediately so That Shops Will
Be Ready for New Later On.

Rock Island arsenal today is at the
dawn of new era in its HISTORIAN
ero which will spell growth for Rock
Island and the tri-cities.
Colonel George W Burr. command
ant at the arsenal, today declared that
he wanted more men. Not only skilled
laborers but unskilled workmen are
desired, and several hundred of them.
Il want 200 or more common labor
ers," Colonel Burr stated Il need
these men for work in and around the
shops. They will be kept permanently.
also want machinists, tool makers
and turret lathe operators. l need all
| can get.
There is also need at the arsenal
OF more harness makers. l need many
Of these. We need more workmen at
the arsenal, particularly because we
have to get all of our present material
out. We want to be ready to start on
new work when the large appropria-
tons are forthcoming from congress"
Additional Increases Later.
Rock Island arsenal now has about
1000 employees. 1t is expected that
the list will increase to near $500
within the next few weeks This in
crease will be permanent When the
small arms plant is reopened at the
arsenal perhaps 100 men will be en-
ployed. The completion of the field
artillery plant, appropriation for
which is now before congress, will
mean the employment of perhaps 1000
more men. In other words within the
next year or so the number Of men
employed at the arsenal will probably
reach 5000.
For every workman added it may be
figured that the population Of the tri-
cities will increase by five, so that 15.-
600 persons may locate in the tri-cities
within a year or so.

Trees and Water.

Trees having a large leaf surface ex
posed to evaporation require CORE
spondingly large root formation TO
supply the necessary moisture. 1t has
been estimated that a full grown
shade tree, such as the oak. maple or
elm, bearing some 100000 leaves
transpires about $50 gallons of water
daily. The loss of such large
amount of water requires that an
equal amount be taken from the soil
by the trees roots. If this supply is
not furnished the tree will die Of
thirst.-Tree Talk
