Two Girls Are Arrested
While on Hobo Tour

Peoria, Ill.-Maude Bride, IS
years old. of Madison, Wis, said she
was not going to hobo any more, as
she sat on the upholstered seat of a
passenger train just leaving for her
home recently, in custody of her
Rather.
She and Marie Shaded. II years
DID, also of Madison, were picked up
by the police in Princeville one even
ing in a stranded condition and lodg-
ed in the detention home here.
The two girls set out with $40
cared by Maude in a candy factory to
hobo it to Waco. Tex, to visit their
soldier sweethearts, whose names
they gave as Herbert Ward, corporal
of Company C, of Madison, and Ben
Nichelski, a member of the Wiscon-
sin band.
They rode the cars and blind bag
gage until their money ran out, when
they were glad to be picked up, they
told the authorities.
Maude's father is just recovering
from a broken leg, and used the
money he had laid by to buy Ills win
ter coal to come to Peoria for his
daughter.

CONSERVATION OF
LIVE STOCK ASKED

Chicago, Ill.-Arthur G.. Leonard.
president of the Chicago Union
Stockyards, has made an appeal to
farmers to forego, in the world crisis,
their short-sighted policy in hurry
ing to market live stock which, for
the sake of the future and with q
greater promise of profit, should be
held on the farms. Mr.. Leonard S
m essage is sent out by the Illinois
State Council of Defense, and is in
part as follows:
ITO the average American farmer
the world war is still far-off event
He has been too busy to clearly real
ize it's tremendous bearing upon
American agriculture. Thus far he
has thought of the war mflnIy as it
affects the labor necessary to pro-
duce and gather the croZs he has
planted and their market value.
when he does wake up to the
true significance of this great strug-
gle, he will see that preservation of
stock on farms is one of the most
vital factors to all the people of
every nation, in order that the
worlds disappearing supply of meats,
wool and leather may be replenished.
Everything points to a continuance
of the war for some time to come.
The worlds needs will increase as
the war goes on. Is it not plain that
the demands upon agriculture for
food and clothing will grow greater
and greater with each month of de-
struction; that it will be impossible
to produce an adequate supply, espe-
cially of animal prodN cts. such as
meats, leather and wool, unless
herds are maintained?"

When the officers, in answer to a
call from the night watchman.
reached the warehouse they found
the front door wide open, having
been forced. and Kelly McNeely, a
negro, % years old, loading bars of
steel into n wheelbarrow. The negro,
on seeing the officers. threw up Ills
hands and fell to the floor in faint.
McNeely came to in a short time
and told the officers he had intended
wheeling his cargo of steel out the
front door to his home.

DYING SOLDIERS CALL FOR
TOBACCO TO EASE PAIN
True Picture of First Line Hospital Given by Author OF
Great War Book "Over the Top

Arthur Guy Empey. the young
American soldier with the allies
whose wonderful book. "Over the
Top" has recently been published by
the Mcclure Company. has no more
graphic. vivid chapter than the one
telling of q wounded English SOL
dier's overwhelming desire for

an extraordinary work all through,
more copies of it having been sold
by the Mcclure firm than any other

was in the thick of the strife and
he writes like one who was genu-

THE UPR0CD LINE
Well Known Products Nov
Being Sold in Fifteen
States.

A business that is showing SPLEEN
did Fatrmont progress and assisting
materially in the Fifty in Five" move
ment is that of the Universal Prod
ucts company, a local corporation or
ganized over year ago, which is en-.
gagged in the manufacture and sale OF
poultry and veterinary remedies under
the trade mark name Of "Uproco."
This company has introduced Its
product into fifteen states, having ex'
tended its sales to Oklahoma and south
of Florida, and by so doing has adver'
tised Fairmont very effectively since
in this territory over a million cir.
cular letters have been distributed
bearing the name Fairmont and in adj
dition to this another half million let
tiers have been sent directly to the
many merchants handling this line
of goods.
The company has adopted the CO.
operative plan of disposing Of its goods
the merchants becoming stockholders
with the initial order which they
place with the company. This is the
same plan which the United Drug com.
pany, manufacturers Of the "Rexall
line, have operated so successfully and
to date almost twenty-five hundred
merchants have become stockholders
in the "Uproco" company.
About twenty-five new staples have
recently been added to the line which
the company is manufacturing ana
these will include flavoring extracts,
castor oil, petroleum Jelly, camphor,
ammonia, stove and furniture polish
and many others all of which will be
put I'D by the company under its well
known trade mark Of "Uproco."
This movement has been contemplat'
ed for some time but owing to the
difficulty in getting early shipments
of bottles and raw materials it was
not decided until recently what staples
the company would carry.
In order to meet the expense Of this
new development the board Of dtrec.
tors of the company has authorized
the sale Of small block Of stock and
this is the first time the public has
been given an opportunity to acquire
stock in the company. The stock has
a mar value of $40 a share but is now
being sold at $1.50 and is proving an
attractive investment since there is
no record Of any company manutac'
turing a similar line Of goods making
a failure and many Of the older com
panies have made millions in this bust
ness.
