mittee is urging upon all public
societies to observe the day A
great mass meeting in the evening

Just as was said, the sale OF

Notification has been received
that Rock Island will not be able
to get another carload, ordered
yesterday by the city commission.
A telephone message from the

Two hundred diners sat down to
n delectable spread of fried chicken,

PHONE STRIKE
MAY BE ENDED
FROM OUTSIDE
Opinion is That Agreement VIII be
Reached by Officials at
Springfield.

It is now expected that the tel
ephone strike will be settled out
of Rock Island.
Negotiations between leading Of
ficials of the Central Union Tele-
phone company and of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers are taking place in
Springfield, it became known to-
day.
Although no definite information
is being given out, it is the belief
that J. p Noonan. state president
of the workers, and G. II. ROttger,
state manager of the company,
who have offices in the same build
ing in Springfield, may be able to
reach an agreem ent in a few days.
They are comforting on the demand
of the $50 linemen and operators
for more pay.
Hope is held out now. more than
/before, that the strike will be set
tied to the satisfaction of both
sides.
Although the company officials
said that they had made their last
offer in Rock Island over a week
ago. it is believed that they now
hare another proposition to the
workers.
It is also believed by some that a
decision Of the utilities commission
expected ordering the company to
furnish adequate service has been
delayed purpOsely. possibly upon
suggestion Of mediatOrs in the
strike. to allow time for another
proposition to be presented.
Breach Coming.
Another reason for seeing an end
to the strike is in the announce
ment that Fl. S. Breach, one of the
national leaders of the electrical
workers, will be in Rock Island
Monday
: Mr. Breach. the union workers
Gay. is one OF the most influential
men in their trade. He has mater

MilitariSm's Cost.
At Paris, we were face to face
with this situation: that in dealing
with a particular civil government
we found that they would not dare
to promise what their general staff
was not willing that they should
promise; and that they were domi-
mated by the military machine
which they had created, nominally
for their own defense. but really
for the proyocation of war. AS
long as you have a military class,
it does not make any difference
what your form of government is;
if you are determined to be armed
to the teeth, you must obey the or
ders and directions of the only men
who can control the great machin-
cry of war. It is not merely the
cost of it (armament) but it is
spirit of it. and America has never
had and I hope in the providence
of God never will have that spirit

And here is the agreement. They
promise disarmament, and promise
to agree upon a plan. But there
was something else we wanted, that
is accomplished by this treaty. We
wanted to destroy autocratic au-
thority everywhere in the world.
We wanted to see to it that there
was no place in the world where
a small group of men could use
their fellow citizens as pawns in a
game; that there was no place in
the world where a small group Of
men, without consulting their fell
low citizens. could send their fell |

STATE REIMBURSEMENT
LIKELY in YEAR 1920
Qn type, but unavoidably held over

(In type, but unavoidably held over

County Auditor Washburn was in

on the meeting of the State Tax Com
missioners, having up for discussion
the proposition Of re-appraisement
of landed properties in Medina coun-
ty. 1t is usual to have a re-appraise.
ment once in ten years, when there is
no necessity for shorter period ap-
praisals. The last general appraise-
ment in this county was in 1910.
At the meeting in Cleveland Friday
it was not definitely determined just
what will be done, but it is probable
an appraisement will be ordered.
Granger tp, underwent an appraise-
ment last year so that in case of a
general readjustment of values at
this time Granger would likely escape
any changes.
There is talk of a general reap
praisement over the whole State. In
many sections it is imperative that
this be done. And if such step is
taken it goes with little fear of con-
tradiction that values will be greatly
boosted and that then there will be
little dificulty-for a few years, at
least-in finding enough tax money to
meet expenses.

HE LIKED ARMY LIFE
BUT DON'T WANT MORE

Robert Ulmer, of Abbeyville, will
move to Medina the first of the year.
He is recently home from the front in
Germany; was near Coblenz when
the armistice was signed, moved on
to Coblenz a short time later, and
spent five months in Germany before
ordered home.
Ulmer has a good word to say for
the service, says he enjoyed it, but
would not care for a similar service
again. He says the American forces
were given a sector to clean up
when first sent into Germany, and
that when this was done the soldiers
had an easy time of it. He says he
and his comrades were given oppor-
tunity to see the country to con-
siderable degree. He thinks the hard
est thing the Americans had to do
was to learn the real value Of the
German money so they could trade
without getting skinned.
Ulmer trained at Camp Beaure-
gard, in Louisiana. He was one of
Uncle Sans boys who took things as
they came philosophically, and in do
ing this he enjoyed more and fused
less than did many others.

food in which it replaces sugar, which
has high food value. The use of
saccharin, whether or not declared
on the labels, in foods coming within
the jurisdiction of the Federal Food
and Drugs Act is prohibited. The
laws or regulations Of most of the
States also prohibit the use of saccha-
rim in foods. A number of food man.
ufacturers have been convicted for
shipping into interstate commerce
foods adulterated with saccharin. A
criminal prosecution is now pending
against one of the manufacturers Of
saccharin for shipping it labeled as
harmless within the jurisdiction of
the Federal Food and Drugs Act.
Foods in which harmless substi-
tutes have been used and no mention
of the substitute made on the labels,
if shipped within the Jurisdiction Of

is CATTONSEED MEAL AT
$85 A PROFITABLE FEED

"Will it pay to feed cottonseed
meal at $85 a ton," is a question
which many Ohio cattle feeders are
asking. In the past when corn was 81
bushel, cottonseed meal was $40 a
ton. Last year when corn sold at So
a bushel, cottonseed meal was quoted
at SIS. This year corn is selling
around $1.20 and cottonseed meal
costs $85.
"If feeding good quality of cattle
with the intention of putting on a
good finish it will doubtless pay to
use cottonseed meal" according to G..
T. Conklin of the Animal Husbandry
Department of the Ohio State Uni
versity. Experiments in the past
have shown that the feeding of cot
tonseed meal has resulted in an ad-
vance in selling price which has more
than covered the increased cost of
production, with feeds figured on the
present basis. In addition, the gain;
will be little heavier. and there will
be saving in corn. Furthermore
the cattle will shed out sooner and he
