N J. McEEiry. Moline, just back
from 8 session of the Miss.ss.p pi
Valley Waterways association in
St Louis. and who is enthusiastic
in his support Of the program map
Y ped out Tor the improvement OF the

y plan contemplated calls for the
above expenditure TO be taken from
i the $500, 600 600 revolving fund,
8 now in President Wilson's hands,
70 be used in the prosecution Of the
war.
In speaking Of the matter. Mt
McEniTy said to an Argus repre-
e sentative today:
1T is important that men Of in
fuence, who can afford to make
The trip, should attend this meeting
from the tTi-cities and from all OF
the important centeTs on the upper
Mississippi river.
1T was said at the meeting that
the cost Of conducting the war for
1ne hour would meet the demands
tor barge construction. It was said
further that assurance had been
given that the money would be
available for the promotion of this
work next spring. That means that
we viii not have barges this year
DIT next year. We want to begin
work on them now.
Because of the fact that the
men of the lower river appear tC
hink that the Mississippi ends al
St. Louis, il is urgent that the up
per river cities have a strong dele
cation at Washington. The south
ern men are going there to ask for
oarges to run between st. Louis
and the gulf The upper river cit
IS were greatly outnumbered in
ne attendance al the St. Louis
meeting, and it IS going to take
one work TO impress Washington
With the importance of our part in
his transportation.
Although the president has this
revolving fund at his disposal, il
Eill be necessary to reach him
through members of congress, and
We must present our proposal by

orce of J1gic and patriotic en-
teavor.
We are informed that $4,000
now available for removing the
lit from the Illinois Michigan
lanai That will make a continu-
bus waterway through the Henne-
bin canal to the Mississippi river.
The amount is not sufficient to put
he canal in the shape it ought to
be in, but it IS enough for tenn
3orary purposes, and if the canal is
put to profitable use, it will be an
opening wedge for further expend-

SOCIETY SAVES
 PRECIOUS METAL

Women of America have demon- strated their patriotism in number less big ways since the entrance of this country into the world war. They have given their loved ones and in aiding in the prosecution of the gigantic struggle for democracy have offered their services in any branch where they could be the most rtfectivc-Red Cross activities. nurs- nB, cunteen work and in the vari- 'us other ways that count at such t time There is still another way Whlch they can serve and that IS in limiting their purchase of jewels 'r at least not purchasing any jewels set in platinum. The nation needs the platinum, both for the prosecution nf inc war and for national welfare iu times of peace is set forth in an appeal issued by the Womens Ma tional league for the conservation of platinum. The League deplores the Tact that while the government, the industries, and the educators are in need of platinum, over fifty per cent of tho supply is being used in Iewclry.
 Mrs. Ellwood B. Spear of Cam bridge, in asking ArizQna women to become members of the council. makes this plea:
 The government is sorely in need GOT platinum to make the nitric and sulphuric acids necessary for the pro- .duetion of explosives. Our industries sre suffering from a shortage of this metal in their control labora- hr tcaz phuric acids drugs, dyes, fertilizers. etc. Our educational institutions can not afford to pay the exhorbitant price for the platinum essential to train men for the industries.
 The women of America have it in their power to alleviate in a very large degre this deplorable condition.
 We ask your cooperation in pre- souting the fact 10 women that it IS injurious to our national welfare to buy platinum jewelry. Our gov ernment must have this metal to carry on the war: our chemists re- 1uirc it to supply our needs.

Supreme Court Reverses
Kraus Murder Verdict

Lincoln, Oct. 6.-(Speclal)--lh ne
decree of the Saline county district
court is reversed by the supreme
court, wherein Rudolph Kraus was
convicted of murder in the t1rst de-
gree for killing his wife, and given
a life sentence. The killing was ad-
mitted, but the plea was insanity
superinduced by intoxication.
After killing his wife Krause also
killed his two children, a
daughter of two years and son OF
four years.
Reason for the crime was that he
had understood that his winter
wheat was all killed and so he got
drunk and went home and killed
his sleeping wife and babies. he
then laid down beside them and at
tempted to take his own life.
The higher court sends the case
back for trial because of errors IN
court instruction.
