Buy at HON,

buy al home
2 The Chamber of Commerce of Do
yer. y. j., has entered upon a Buy
at Home campaign. It has put out
posters urging the Doverites to pa
tronize local merchants and trades
men instead of getting their supplies
in New York, forty miles away. 1t is
an excellent idea-the Protection
idea on diminished scale. Buy at
home, by all means. That is the basic
principle of Protection. and if it is a
good principal locally it is still bet
ter principle NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Economist
Why can't the Hays Chamber of
Commerce institute a ''Buy at Home
Campaign" at Hays. 1t is known
that thousands of dollars go to the
Kansas City Mail order houses every
week. The money should stay at
home. The Chamber of Commerce
should take this matter in hand at
once. Why not Mr.. Secretary?

Mrs. Nancy Chain, colored. who was

IN DENIAL
OF PLANT SURVEY
President Of Moline PlOw Company
Says Government Has Not Ask
cd fer Use Of Works.

Although the government is said to
have ordered survey of all manu-
featuring plants in the country to be
made by army officers for the purpose
of learning to what extent equipment
could be used in, the production of war
material, that move has not been made
yet at the tractor plant of the Moline
Pillow company, according to state
ment made today by r. G. Allen, pres
ident of the company, in denying ru-
NOR to the effect that the big plant is
to be turned over to governmental
uses.
Mr. Allen stated that If survey of
his plant had been ordered, he had
not been informed relative to it and
that he had received no intimatiOn
that Uncle Sam desired the tractor
works used in turning out munitions.
There has also been rumor that
the tractor plant had dropped 20 per
cent of its employees, but this also Mr.
Allen denied. He said the board OF
directors had not authorized the re-
leasing of any certain percentage OF
employees, but did admit some workers
were being discharged. He said: "Ot
course, we are employing more men
than we need, and we are attempting
to gradually cut down our force as
we see fit to develop an efficient or
ganizatiOn. 1t was inevitable that we
should overstock with labor in build
ing up the tractor organization. We
| were new at the game and were not
aware as to the number of men il
would require to man such a plant
Many of the men were not familiar
with the work. Now many of then
have become skilled. and as more Of
them are developed we are cutting
| down the force"

Thief Gets into
DOCTORS OFFICE
Surgical Instruments Valued at 500
Taken From Rooms OF +. A. Eden
Early Last Evening.

Moline police are endeavoring to To-
cate a burglar who stole surgical in
struments valued at 500 from the Of
flee of DR.. E. A. Eden, 1419 Fifth ave-
nue., last evening. Entrance was gain
ed by climbing over a transom. No
attempt was made to secure dope or
medicine The loot was carried away
in the cover Of a typewriter.
At 5 o'clock DR.. Eden left his Of
flee and when he returned at Z the
theft was discovered. 1t is thought
that the girl in DR.. A. T. Leipold's ad-
joining Office did not leave until 6:15,
so that it was after that that the
visitor stepped into the reception room
which had been left open and then
crawled over the transom into the
private Office where he removed "a in
struments from glass case and de-
parted without leaving any clews.

MISS RANKIN MOVES
FOR FREE IRELAND

Washington, D. c., Jan. 5.-Repre-
sentative Jeanette Rankin yesterday
took up the cause Of freedom for Ire
land, introducing Joint resolution
that was referred to the foreign af-
fairs committee. 1t provides that
this government recognize the right
OF Ireland to political independence
and that we account Ireland among
those countries for whose freedom and
democracy we are fighting" Miss
Rankin will seek hearing before
the committee.
She also yesterday defended the
measure authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to buy farm loan bonds.
declaring the condition of the bond
market Is but temporary, due to the
purchase of Liberty bonds.
1T is reasonable to believe that
prospective investors will be eager
to buy the bonds as soon as they
know that the banks can get cash for
them" said Miss Rankin in brief
speech in the house.

PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Uncertainty which
resulted from abolishing all priority
orders on the railroads, gave the bulls
an advantage this week in the corn
market. Compared with a week ago,
prices this morning were up sc to
&c. Oats were unchanged to NC
higher and provisions from to AZ
cents.
1t appeared the immediate effect OF
withdrawing preference which had
been accorded to grain was temper
airy slowness In the movement of corn
from first hands. Rural offerings con-
tinued light and difficulty in getting
cars for shipments from country ele-
vators remained in evidence Peace
gossip meanwhile made no Roadway
as bearish factor except in the early
part of the week.
Highest prices yet this season were
reached in the oats market. Export
buying was largely responsible despite
subsequent apparent lull in seaboard
demand.
Big stocks here and at other west
ern points weakened provisions. Cash
inquiry fell off.

HOOVER CUTS PRICE
OF SUGAR; NOW $7.45

Washington, Jan. 5.-Arbitrarily fix
ing the price of refined sugar, cut
ting 1t far below prices that have been
charged for it by many retailers, the
food administration has issued this
order:
THE price Of Cuban raw sugar be-
ing cents, duty paid, as from Jan.
7, at New York. the price of refined
sugar will be $745 (per cent?, less
per cent to wholesalers.
THE Atlantic seaboard area thus
comes into the interior price basis,
or a reduction Of about l cent per
pound. or $40 per ton"
Food Administrator Hoover is driv-
ing ahead with his plans to reduce
prices of necessities and prevent prof
iteering, where possible, in the face
of the attack made on his administra-
ton by Claus A. Spreckels, the sugar
magnate, and the criticism to which
he has been subjected by Senator
Reed and other members of the SEN
ate manufactures committee, now in
yestigating the food administration.

DOUBLE CAPACITY
| AT FACTORY KILN
Deere e. Go. Preparing to Take Care
Of Next Big Order for Army
Transport Wagons.

Deere & Co. have started work to
double the capacity Of the dry kiln at
Twenty-seventh street, Moline. in order
that there will be no delay in taking
care of the next order for army trans
port wagons for the government.
1t has been rumored that the John
Deere Wagon Co. has received an
order for 10 900 more wagons, but an
official of the concern today stated
that the exact number needed had not
been specified and that the govern
ment had merely sent formal notice
that more vehicles would be needed
shortly.
Seasoned lumber is absolutely es-
sential for the wagons and in order to
have plenty on hand the company de-
cided to double the capacity of its dry
kiln. 1t takes 80 days to prepare the
lumber for use.
