ton which was planned, while they
rode from Camp Grant to Rock Is
land.
Il got the papers all right" the
mayor said. Il gave one to each
soldier as he passed out of the
building after he was paid. And
you can believe me they were hap
py to get them and glad 10 find out
that their welcome back home was
attracting the attention it was.
They read them on the train and it
certainly helped to shorten up the
trip for them. II was mighty fine
of you people to do that
DIG. A. AndTeen who made him
self responsible to see that the
papers were delivered, said that
the soldiers we're very much
pleased with them and were unani-
nous in their opinion that the edi-

RUMORS. OF ENEMY
CABINET CRISIS
BUT IDLE GOSSIP

Berlin, Sunday, June 8.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Rumors that a
cabinet crisis is imminent are de-
scribed in official quarters as idle
gossip. The fact that Herr Wissel,
minister without portfolio and Dr.
BARNARD Dernberg, minister of
finance. differ respecting the con-
duct of postwar economic control
has started report that there is
serious dissention in the cabinet.
The issue, it is contended, can not
be decided until peace is arranged
and is, in any case, purely personal.

Notes of Homecoming

1t is estimated that 10000 people
saw the parade.
Not only was Victory way a blaze
of colors, but there were flags and
decorations on practically every
residence and business house IN
the city.
The Rock Island Red Cross can
teen ladies received an ovation
when they marched down the ban
quet hall to give the soldiers Gig
arets and candy.
Both the band donated by the
Tri-City Musical society and Amoo
grotto received expressions of
praise for the part they contrib
uted. Both gave their services
free.
The celebration demonstrated
that when Rock Island and Moline
get together they can pull big city
stuff.
Arthur Hinkley. who enlisted in
Company A at the outbreak Of the
war, who left with the company
and trained with it, but who later
wigs placed on detached service, re-
turned to this country with Battery
F and reached Camp Grant with
the artillerymen, but beat it home
Saturday night as soon as he was
discharged, there being other at
fractions for him here even creator
than to wait for the welcome homo
celebration.
OF course everybody had to stop
and look pleasant in the banquet
hall to get snapped. Two pho
tographers took two time expos
ures from the balcony. II was hard
work, for the boys to turn from
fried chicken and look happy at the
same time.

It does not take much smut to cause
a 10 per cent loss, and it often runs
much higher. The formaldehyde
treatment will cut out the loss from
smut. The treatment consists in thor

formaldehyde to 40 gallons of water.
Wheat at two dollars a bushel is too
expensive to let smut have part of
the crop, nor can one afford to run any

A WEEK WITHOUT
AN ACCIDENT IS
SANTA FE SLOGAN
Railway VIII Attempt to 0per-
arate From June q to q,
Both Inclusive, and Have No
Accidents on System,
A week without an accident"


Is it possible to operate Il railroad
like the Santa Fe, with its miles and
miles of busy tracks, running. in many
cases through thickly settled rural dis
tricts and density populated cities and
carrying millions of passengers every
year, also with its 10000 employees,
many of them filling hazardous occu-.
pations, and not have a single acct
dent for seven days.
Sounds like an imposslbili'N. May
he it is. But the Santa Fe is going to
Try it. June - 10 IS are the dates
and "A week without an accident the
slogan
Not only win the Santa Fe attempt
to do what has never been done in the
past--operate trunk line for a week
without an accident-but all of the
roads in the country which are under
federal control will be in the contest.
And the Santa Fe, of course, being the
pioneer in the safety first movement,
hopes to hang w a perfect record, if
possible Of, if not a perfect record,
the Santa Fe is determined have
fewer accidents than any other road,
mileage considered, in the United
States.
Isaich Hale. safety superintendent
of the Santa Fe system, wiI be in
meeting of the heads of the safety
departments Of all railroads in n,
central western region The confer
cnce has been called for the purpose
of discussing plans for no accident
week. In a circular letter to all en-
ployes, after explaining the purposes
of the campaign, Mr.. Hale says;
Our record is going to be carefully
watched over the entire central Yves J.
ern region; il is not only generally
known but admitted that the physical
condition of the Santa Fee system is
not second TO any other railroad in t<a
world; you and / must see to t that
we do not show fewer hours worked,
or fewer gross tons, engine or train
miles per personal injury that some
railroad where working conditions are
not two-three with ours. such Il
showing would mean only one thing
and that is that man for man we do
not measure up in intelligence. ct-
ficiency or loyalty with the men on
some other road. or roads, and God
grant, when it comes to either of
those qualities, that Santa Fe men. as
an organization, Will ever be forced to
publicly doff their hats to the mem
on any other railroad anywhere.
In conclusion Mr.. Hale tells the en-
ploycs that this is not his campaigY,
but theirs. CT cannot make it sue
cess, but-you can he says. "Think,it
over and give me your suggestions. II
your letter does nothing else it will
snow you are interegted-and if ycNl
are interested--why that's all there is

BREWERS WIN FIRST
ROUND IN FIGHT TO
PERMIT LIGHT BEER

New York, May 17.-United States
Judge Augustus N. Hand today denied
motions made on behalf of the gov
ernment, asking for dismissal of the
injunction suit brought by the Jacob
Hoffman Brewing company for the
purpose of restraining federal officials
from performing their duties in en-
forcing the prohibition laws Of the
United States.
The Hoffman suit is designed TO
prevent the government from inter
fering with the manufacture of beer
containing not more than 2.75 per cent
by weight of alcohol, and challenges
the constitutionality of the war time
prohibition law The action Is the first
of a series of such suits brought by
brewing concerns in this district.
District Attorney Caffey argued that
the Hoffman complaint did not state
sufficient facts to constitute a cause
of action, that the United States can
not be sued without its consent, ana
that the complainant company had no
right to ask the federal court to en-
ioin officials from performing their
duty of enforcing the laws of the
United States.
