Chief of these words is ''skol-
kea," of which the English equiva-

have been using this word on the
Russian population ever since they
landed, last September, in transac-
lions of barter and sale. The SOL
diers have made a verb of it, and
those who have made neat profits
in selling cigarets, old clothing,
superf1uous rations, etc. to the
peasants and city civilians are
spoken of as having "skolkeaed"
something.
other words the soldiers have
adopted as their own include:
"Ponimiyu," meaning 81 under

''Da," meaning yes"

TOMORROW SET
TO GIVE BREDT
CROSS OF WAR
Marine Officer Comes to Present
Medal to MOliner at Prospect
Park Sunday Afternoon.
Especial Moline Service.)


Mayor 9. P. Skinner of Moline to-
day announced that the public cere-
mony at which Corporal Winfield
Bredt, son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A.
Bredt, 2318 Fifteenth street, Moline.
will receive the croix de guerre, the
highest French medal of honor, will
be held in Prospect park auditor
ium at 3 o'clock tomorrow after
noon
Besides through the press, Mayor
Skinner has asked that the hour of
the presentation be announced from
the pupils tomorrow morning. All
Moline is expected to attend and es-
pecially are all returned soldiers
urged to be present to form guard
of honor for the Moline marine.
Captain L. w. Putnam of the
Chicago district of United States
marines and two non-commissioned
officers of the marine corps will ar
rive in Moline at 1850 tomorrow
afternoon, coming here to take part
in the ceremonies. 1t is probable
that Captain Putnam will pattern
the ceremonies after those held on
the battlefields when soldiers were
conferred such an honor. Corporal
Bredt will also arrive from Chicago
on the same train.
Although the program has not
been decided on, it is known that
Mayor Skinner will preside, R. w
Todd, vice-president of Deere and
company, and a prominent speaker,
will give the principal address and
a band will play before and after
the exercises. ''All Moline should
attend" said the mayor today. Not
many cities receive an honor such
as this and everyone should well
come the opportunity to attend
these exercises"
It is believed that Corporal Bredt
is the only Moliner distinguished
with the honor of receiving the war
cross.
He won it, it is understood, for
unusual galIantry and courage dis
played in carrying wounded SOL
diers from the field of battle under
heavy enemy shell fire. He was both
wounded and gassed and took part
in the battles of Chateau Thierry.
Belleau Woods. the Argonne and
numerous other engagements in
which the American troops par
ticipated. He enlisted in the marine
corps shortly after America enter
ed the war.

PROVIDE DUST BOXES FOR THE
HENS.

Chickens never wash, as many
othe- birds do, but cleanse them
selves of insects by wallowing in
soil. Where board or cement floors
are used, some means of busting
should be provided during the win
ter months. For flock of so to go
fowls dust box by feet or by
4 teet will be found large enough
in most instances, and should be
placed where it can be reached by
sunlight during as much Of the day
as possible. Fine, light, dry dust is
the best. but sandy loan is good.
Road dust is recommended by
many, but It is apt to be filthy. Coal
or wood ashes may be mixed with

FACTORS IN FEED SELECTION.

In selecting feeding stuffs for his
stock the farmer will NATURALLY be
governed by the conditions of the
market. The cost of feeding stuffs
is controlled by other factors than
the actual amounts of food mater
ials which they contain; indeed,
there often appears to be very little
connection between the two. Bear

most expensive ingredient, snd the

BROTHERS SUE FUR DAMAGES AS RESULT
 IF TWO ACCIDENTS

Two actions against the Southwest Cotton company aggregating $20,000, were filed in the superior court yes terday by brothers who instituted the damage suits, which they base on in- iuries received while in the employ of the company.
 Both men are asking for the same amount S10,000. The accident to one is said to have injured his right arm, while to the other it resulted in injury to his right hand.
 One of the plaintiffs who hopes to recover judgment against the defend ant, is a 15-year -old boy, Braz Hens ley whose brother, Frank Hensley, was appointed guardian ad litem for the purpose of the action. Ernest Hensley is the other plaintiff and both suits were filed by the same attorney, M. J. Dougherty of Mesa.
 The two accidents occurred within 20 days, according to the complaints. Braz Hensley alleges that he was em- ployed as machinist helper and handy man and in the course of his employment last March attempted to crank motor truck when the crank reversed striking his forearm near the wrist, breaking both arm and wrist He alleges that his right arm has been permanently weakened.
 Ernest Hensley, who is a mechanic, alleges that while repairing a cater pillar tractor, a radiator fell upon his right hand, pinning it to the cement floor of the machine shop. He claims that the hand is permanently crippled and that he will no longer be able to use it for useful occupation.

 He is unable to find his nose with out guiding his hands by sight and all notion of smell is absent.
 He has no sense of fatigue. Sight and hearing are normal
 This condition, the doctors say, is the result of an attack of yellow fever when he was IT years old.
