LETTER TO EMPLOYEES
Chicago, May 8,

Chicago, May 8, 1918.
To All Rock Island Employees:
The Rock Island Lines Third Lib
erty Loan Campaign is finished, and
it's final report is as follows:
Total number of subscribers, A.
S75.
Total number of employees, Al, 875.
Percentage of employees subscrib-
ing, 100 per cent.
Total amount subscribed, $3,145,-
$4,000.
Average subscription per employee,
$75.12.
A truly remarkable record, and
one that seemed too good to be true.
Our method of obtaining this
seemingly impossible showing has
been closely scritinized and you will
be glad to know the investigators not
only found the reports correct, but
complimented us highly after finding
out how the campaign was handled.
The explanation, after all, is quite
simple: The Rock Island employees
are a unit-loyal, active, energetic
and prepared on short notice to do
things, whether usual routine mat
tiers or unusual calls for service.
Every one of you has right to be
congratulated, and do congratulate
you for having so well done this par
ticular duty. 1t should, and will, re-
fleet credit to the Rock Island organ
ization, which is a better one than
people generally understood, because
so much of unfavorable criticism has
been published concerning its affairs
during quite long period.
The subject was first presented to
you by telegraphic bulletin from
me April 2, and its closing sentence
read: 81 am confident of your full

SENATOR THoMPSON'S
RESOLUTION PASSED

The Senate has adopted Senator
Thompson's Resolution to direct the
Federal Trade, Commission to inves-
tigate the high cost of farming i'm
plements and machinery, and the
causes for the same, and report to the
Senate. any unfair methods of compe-
tition by manufacturers and dealers,
and as to whether the farmers are
able to produce their crops at fair
profit.
The main object of the resolution
is to secure information to bring
about the fixing of fair prices for
the farmer for his crops in the event
of further price fixing, and to furn-
ish information to the Department of
Justice so that they may proceed
against any trusts or combinations
in restraint of trade.
The resolution as originally framed
by Senator Thompson included prac-
tically every article. required to be
purchased by the farmer and used
by him in his household, barnyard
and field, but to meet objections by
the republican leaders of the Senate,
he was obliged to limit it to agricul-
tural implements and machinery
only, in order to get the resolution
through.
Such investigation has been urged
by the farmers and their representa-
tives for many months. They COM
plain of the high prices they have to
pay and feel that price fixing should
apply to the things they have to buy
as we'll as their products, in order for
the farmer to make fair profit. The
investigation will be undertaken i'm
mediately, and it is felt that the re-
suit will justify the farmers COM
plants.

LADY CANDIDATE.
SEEKS COUNTY OFFICE
Miss Gertrude Carpenter In Race
on the Republican
Ticket.

Miss Gertrude Carpenter will be a
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton as Register of Deeds in the Au-
gust primaries.
Miss Carpenter lives with her par
ents IL miles north of Liberal in the
Antelope Valley neighborhood. They
came to this country eleven years ago
and homesteaded the place on which
they now reside.
She has been active in the affairs
of the community and has made a
host of friends who will do all in
their power to assist in her election.
She is well qualified to handle the
work of the office and will put forth
her best efforts to give satisfaction if
elected.
We do not have the pleasure of an
acquaintance with Miss Carpenter
but she has been most highly recon-
mended by persons who know her.

DAVIS ANNOUNCES
FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY
Democrats Are Asked to Support
Him On Well Defined
Platform.

In the announcement column this
week will be found the announce
ment of Eugene w. Davis for the Of
flee of County Attorney on the DEM
ocratic ticket.
Mr.. Davis has recently branched
out for himself in the practice of
law, having been member of the
firm of Macy & Davis for some time.
He has a good acquaintance among
the people of the county and is a
capable young man of clean habits
and plenty of ambition.
Although he is not seasoned vet
eran of the profession, he has had
excellent training and we are of the
opinion that he is qualified to handle
the work of the office to the satisfac-
ton of all. His platform appearing
with the announcement listens good
and we believe him to be sincere in
his statements.
In Mr.. Davis the Democrats have a
candidate they can conscientiously
support for the office, and we believe
that his candidacy should be consid-
cred by all.

opinion, that he would make a crack

We are told that Mr.. Dodd was
talked into running; that he had no
intention of doing anything of the
kind until pressure was brought to
bear to induce him to do so.
There are plenty Of people who
will boost for him during the cam
paigns and it would seem that he has
a mighty good chance of landing the
