PULL TWO TONS
OF SAND UP HILL
Overlooking of Wagons May Make Mo-
line Sand Dealers Liable fer
Cruelty to Their Horses.

Certain drivers employed by certain
Moline concerns which deal in sand,
ice and commodities in that line, today
made allegations to Moline police
against their employers which are
likely TO be referred to the county hui
name society for investigation.
For some time local police have been
receiving complaint after complaint
from people who live on the Fifteenth
street hill in regard to drivers of sand
carts being cruel to their horses. They
declared that the loads were too heavy
for the horses TO pull.
This morning several of the drivers
were stopped by the police and one
was taken to the station. They ad-
mitted that the loads were too heavy
for the animals TO pull up the hill, but
denied responsibility.
They declared that they were under
orders to put two yards of sand on
each load and if they did not do SO they
would be out of a job.
Police declare that two yards OF
sand is too heavy a load for team
to be forced to pull up the Fifteenth
street HILL and their statements were
backed by people living on the hill. An
investigation is under way and in
event the overlooking is continued &C
ton may be taken against two con-
Germs which were named by drivers
this morning.

The Hague, NetherlandS-tCO
pOndence of The Associated Press.)-
The elections for the provincial state
councils of Holland, half Of the mem
berS of which retire every three years,
have lust been held. and the results
are interesting as giving an indication
of the composition of the next first
chamber of the Dutch parliament, the
members Of which are nominated by
these provincial bodies.
The parties of the left made several
gains, but the parties of the right
maintain the upper hand with an ag-
gregate of 312 seats against the go
held by their opponents, which means
that they are assured of maintaining
their majority in the first chamber.
This is the exact reverse of the posi-
ton in the second chamber, where the
general election of 1913 gave the par
ties of the left the majority upon which
the present parliamentary caDi-
for its support.
The fact that the position of the
provincial councils are made practi-
cally stationary is a disappointing one
to the government, for the continued
predominant position of the right in
the first chamber is a check on their
important legislative program for re-
vision of the constitution, including
universal manhood suffrage, the ques-
ton of woman suffrage, compromise
on the educational question and old
age pensions.
One marked feature of the provincial
elections has been the progress of the
socialist party, which won % seats
from the liberals of the left and four
from the parties of the right. The so
cialists already hold the balance in
the second chamber of parliament with
Is seats out of 100, and further sub
stantial progress at next years gen.
eral election would make them d
strong political force.

CHURCH LEADERS
COME To JUBILEE
Elaborate Preparations Made for Cele.
bratiOn of Silver Anniversary of
Father Kelly.
CITIZENS BANQUET A FEATURE
Ceremonies to Cover Two Days, With
Laymen's Feast Aug. IL and One
for Clergy Next Day.

Committee in charge of the celebra-
ton of the silver jubilee, Commemor-
ating the ordination to the priesthood
of the Rev. J. S. Kelly, pastor of st.
Mary's church, Moline, reports that
plans are progressing in manner
which is highly satisfactory.
Decoration of both St Mary's hall
and of the Moline club rooms, where
the citizens banquet will be held, will
be upon an elaborate scale. Work is
being done by Lundt & Co Menu
cards, each containing pictures of the
Rev. Mr.. Kelly, AMI more than 1000
badges, these to also bear likeness
of the priest, have also been ordered.
Invitations have been sent to $50
priests and church dignataries from
other places to attend the banquet for
clergy, which will follow mass in St.
Mary's church, August II, commencing
at l p. m.
The problem now confronting the
committee is to give all an equal op-
pOrtunity to secure tickets for the
citizens banquet, to be held in Moline
club rooms the evening of Wednesday,
August 16. Inasmuch as seating capa-
city is limited to $50, seats will be as
sured to those who first procure tick
cts, now on sale at the FitZGibbon
store on Fifth avenue and at the H. T.
Moss store, 1880 Third avenue.
Hundred From Outside.
No invitations to the banquet are be-
ing sent the parish members, every
member who desires to attend being
privileged to bring as many as he has
secured tickets for. More than 600 in
vitations have been sent out of the
city and nearly 100 outsiders have re-
spOnded. This means that there will
be $50 seats only for local people at
the banquet.
Following mass service next Sun
day, tickets will be on sale by a COM
mittee of 20. This number includes the
Misses Mollie McEniry, Louise De-
Jaeger and Anna McElroy, Carl
Holmes, Tom Ramsey, J. V. Mccain,

this morning he paid q fine OF $3.50.
When Pappas and a friend stepped IN

with him in the front part or car
The woman attracted Pappas and
he attempted to put his arm around
her Landretto protested. Then Pappas
demanded that he be taken TO East
Moline. The operator of the jitney bus
informed him that his license did not
permit such a trip. but that he could
be taken as a taxi passenger at a cost
of one dollar.
Pappas consented to tie charge,
making the stipulation, however, that
the woman accompany them. Landret-
to did not like the remark made by his
passenger and told him so, whereupon
Pappas struck at the driver. An OIL

men clinched. He did not put stop TO

Shetland mares are remarkably pro-

The colts are naturally hardy, the po-
MES are seldom sickly. They are ready
for any ordinary work at two and a

G. A. Waugh, writing in Country
Life, says: Mature Shetlands sell all
the way from S75 upward, with the
bulk of the apimals going at $125. At
the latter figure there is clear profit
of 500 in the transaction for the

value for it, and at the same time has
fed 1t out at a cost much less than
that of delivering to the local market.
In addition the feed has produced the

that it would produce were it fed to

G. F. & I. COMPANY OFFERS
BONUS TO EMPLOYEES

During the months of December, 1916.
and January and February, 1917, a
bonus of 5 per cent will be paid every
employe of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company who does not lose more than
one working day during the month, the
company announced yesterday. J. +.
Welborn, president of the company,
said the bonus was given "to give the
men, at time when we can dispose of
all of the product, little more earn
ings.'
The army of employees at the Mime
qua steel plant of the company in Pu-
eblo, effected by the order in many in
stances will take advantage of the op-
portunity to earn extra money, an
official stated yesterday.
"At this time, where there is plenty
of work for the men, many are on the
job every working day of the month,
with no incentive save the satisfaction
of boosting the proportions of their
pay envelope. With added inducements,
it is safe to say that there will be a
couple of thousand, at least, who will
receive a present of from So upwards
for regularity at their place of EN-
ployment.'>
Activity at the steel mills is particu
larly noticeable at this time and the
c. F. & i. company is evidencing d."
sire to reward the men who assist the
company in taking advantage of the
present business opportunities. Big
orders are taxing the capacity of the
mills and the point has been reached
the announcement of the bonus proves,
where every days work of each indi
vidual employe is factor.

vAC1NATE CALVES TWICE A YEAR

Don't wait till animals commence to
die of blackleg before protecting them.
Calves should be vaccinated for
blackleg twice a year, making it reg
ular chore, and do not wait until thew
begin to die before getting ready.
The period of ordinary susceptibility
ranges from three months to two and
one half years. Most of the vaccine on
the market is reliable and the unsatis-
factory results are usually due to care
lessness on the part of the farmer, in
not following directions in using it..
The agricultural college distributes the
government blackleg vaccine free to
farmers in Colorado Orders for vac
cine will not be filled promptly, how
ever, unless the applicant states that
he has vaccinating outfit, which is
very necessary to administer vaccine
in this form. A pellet injector will not
do, neither will a hypodermic syringe,
without the remainder of the outfit,
for placing the vaccine in solution.-G.

TIME FOR CUTTING TIMOTHY
vested Just Before Ripe, Says
Missouri Station.

Timothy hay to make the most pal
atable and most nutritious feed should
be cut before ripe. Investigations
made at the Missouri experiment Sta
ton showed that timothy cut during
the period from blossoming time to
the shedding of the bloom was pre-
ferred by cattle to ripper hay and that
they received more nutrition from it.
1t is usually the custom to harvest the
timothy crop when it is nearly or
quite ripe, but the above mentioned in
vestigation would 60 to prove that
earlier harvesting would be more ad-

DECISION AFFECTS
COLORADO MINING

Denver, Dec. 1.-THE mining indus
try of Colorado is vitally interested in
the decision rendered by the United
States court today in what is known as
the Hyde process in the treatment of
ore. The court held that the Minerals
Separation company of England is the
sole owner of the floatation process
and issued an injunction against It's
use by a concern in Butte, Mont, aud
other concerns in other states unless
the Minerals Separation company is
paid royalty for its use.
The Minerals Separation company
wants a royalty on every ton of ore
treated by this process irrespective Of
the value of the ore. If the company
continues this demand number of low
grade mines in the state that treat ore
under this process will have to go out
of business. The case has been in the
court for years and today's decision IS
entirely in favor of the English com
pany.
