Franklin on Thrift.

Benjamin Franklin. without any
suggestion from Herbert Hoover, re-
allied the value Of food thrift and a
meatless diet. The following ex-
tract from his autobiography is oi
particular interest at the present
time: When about sixteen years
of age l happened to meet with a
book recommending q vegetable
diet. | determined to 90 into it.
My brother, being vet unmarried.
did not keep house, but boarded
himself and his apprentices in an
other family My refusing to eat
flesh occasioned an Inconvenience,
and | was frequently chidcd for nv
singularity. | made myself ac-
quainted with Tyron's (the author
of the book mentiOned) manner of
preparing some of his dishes, such
as boiling potatoes or rice. making
hasty pudding and few others. and
then proposed to my brother if he
would give me, weekly. half the
money he paid for my board. would
board myself. He instantly agreed
to it. and l presently found that I
could save half what he paid me.
This was an additional fund for buy

The Harbold hog ranch is buying
corn and other hog feeds and is sup
plying a market long needed here
for these products. A farmer can
carry his products to that place and
feel that he is receiving fair price
for them. Last week the ranch re-
ceived shipments of several thou
sand hogs from the west which will
be augmented from time to time as
preparations progress to take care
of them. The ranch also affords a
market for local sellers who desire
to dispose of hogs on foot and which
are unfinished for the slaughter pen.
No other industry that has come to
this locality quite compares in
extent of local benefits in the way of
education in the care of hogs and
market facilities for hog feeds as
this one does.

At the Spencer SQUARE.

Complying strictly with orders OF
the fuel administration, the Spencer
Square theatre closed its doors today
and will remain closed until tomorrow
afternoon, when the theatre will re-
open with the final showings of Mary
Garden in "Thais," her grand opera
wonder film. There is no finer story
in all the world for film purposes
than "Thais," and after it was written
by Anatole France it produced moth
ing less than a sensation all over
France which soon spread to the rest
of Europe and kept on spreading I'M
til it became one Of the most popular
literary works in the world. Follow
ing its sensational vogue as story it
was made into grand opera, its beau
tiful and touching text being a splen-
did background for some Of the finest
music ever written for the stage. The
next step was to put "Thais" on the
screen, and after Goldwyn secured the
rights to the story, the subject of the
star became uppermost in the minds
of the producers. This was soon set
tied when it was found that Mary Gar
den was willing to appear before the
camera to perpetuate this fine story.
The rest of the tale is merely one of
artistic accomplishment after many
great efforts.

Streckfus On Federal Control.

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 21.-Editor The
Argus: We are in receipt of a clip
ping from your good paper, under date
of Jan. II, headed "Other Lines are
to Be Operated" In fairness to Streck-
fus line, Eagle Packet company and
st. Louis and Tennessee River line,
l believe the correct data published
would inform the public as to the ac-
tual conditions, as someone has evil
IDENTIFY misinformed you, as the state
ment in regards to these two lines is
not correct.
In the first place I will state that
the Eagle Packet company and st.
Louis and Tennessee river line never
figured on entering the st. LoHis-St.
Paul trade. as they have their boats
in local transportation trades, and it
would be indeed folly for them to
change to a trade of TAO miles, where
their steamers receive as much rev.
enue off of freight carried in their re-
spective trades of 100 miles, nearly
double the freight rate that the Streck-
fus line receives from st. Louis to St
Paul. there being no rail competition
in their territory. In addition their
trades are seven to eight months, as
it's freight carrying proposition
while the ST. LOuis-St. Paul trade is
but three months, as the revenue from
that business is so per cent passenger
A steamboat loaded to capacity with
freight between st. Louis and Sa. Paul
without passengers, under the present
rates, the high cost Of fuel, scarcity OF
labor, would be losing venture.
The Eagle Packet company and the
Tennessee river lines are not rivals OF
the Streckfus line, but are the very
best friends, and we all cooperate to.

alone in the idea Of the federal con-
troll of the larger steamers and barge
lines on the western rivers. l have
in my files letters and clippings from
practically all the larger boats and
barge lines from New Orleans to st.
Paul, and from Cairo to Pittsburgh.
They are highly in favor of this idea,
and they think it the only solution for
the revival of river traffic.
I think 1t something to which each
paper and commercial body from one
end Of the river to the other should
lend its assistance. Under federal con-
troll, there would be no question about
tonnage, no expense of soliciting
freight. The existing discrimination OF
rail rates along the river would be ad-
justed. The government handling the
insurance would eliminate the heavy
insurance charges that are now in eff
feet for marine craft on not only boat
but cargo and would adjust the ex-
cessive terminal switching charges
We would get much better action from
the local cities, in the way of crowd
ing modern terminals for the handling
of freight, which would mean the first
step in cooperation with the barges
and boats to follow, which are pro-
posed to be built.
II the cities are not as one in a
move of this kind the revival of traf-
fic on the western rivers will be q
long time coming This revival o.
river traffic cannot be brought about
by the few existing transportation
lines now in existence, as they are
practically out of the freight end of it
AS before said, so per cent of theil
revenue is from passengers. No one
outside is going to bring this traffic OF

BLAZE DESTROYS
LIVERY IN MILAN
Barn Owned by j. n. Peterson II
Total Loss in Early Morning
Fire.
ELEVEN HORSES AND COW PERISH
Rock Island Departments Come to
Aid Of Village; Cause Not
Known.

Fire completely destroyed the livery
barn operated by ]. N. Peterson in
Milan early this morning. The cause
Of the fire is unknown. The volunteer
department responded but was unable
to do much except keep the flames
from spreading. There were 16 head
of horses and one cow in the barn.
OF these, five horses were saved. Six
horses were taken out but one was
burned so badly that it had to be shot
later. The COW and 10 horses persisted
in the flames. There was $500 worth
of baled hay in the barn besides 500
worth of oats and 20 sets of harness
An automobile was taken out in time
to keep it from being damaged.
Fire departments from Central and
Twelfth street stations in Rock Island
responded to calls for help, but were
too late to prevent the fire from get
ting in its work. The Twelfth street
fighters were the first on the scene
and they laid line of hose along
with the three which Milan had
strung out. Central men did not lay
any hose as it was too late to be Of
any use.
The barn is owned by Mrs. Voll
ana was rented by Mr.. Peterson. He
owned all the. horses and the cow. The
horses were used for teaming pur-
poses, coal hauling being the mair
use to which they have been put late
ly. The barn was insured but none
Of the contents. The total loss
will amount to $4,000.
C. F. Thompson, president Of thu
village board of Milan, today asked
The Argus to express the thanks o.
people of the village to the Rock Is
land fire department for the ready re
Spouse given.
"In behalf OF the village of Milan,
Mr. Thompson said, Il wish to expires.
the sincere thanks of the people tt
the Rock Island fire department fol
the ready response it made and thu
work it done in our disastrous blaz,
this morning"
