, WAGE INCREASE
Fourteen Per Cent Advance in Sal
airy Granted on September Pay
Of Railway Concern.

A top-to-b bottom raise in salary
Of its Office employees affecting 225
men and women, averaging IA per
cent in the former wages and to-
falling over $500 per month, has
been put into effect by the Tri-City
Railway & Lighting company.
This action was necessary in or
der to prevent wholesale resigna-
tions following the raise in street
car mems wages after the strike
last month, officials of the company
said today.
When the car men were given
60-cents-an-hour scale in order to
settle the strike there were many
applications from Office men for
Jobs as motormen and conductors.
This action was followed by many
requests for raise in salary. Then
came several designations.
. Although short Of funds, the COM
'pany could not dispense with the
services of veteran and efficient
Office employees and decided to
ameliorate the temporary condition
by a sweeping increase in salaries.
Although this increase averaged
about IA per cent, it has not en-
tireIy wiped ont the condition pre-
vailing last month and several res
ignations have been handed in this
month.
The increase in salaries affects
both the Iowa and Illinois branch
es Of the Tri-City Railway & Light
company. 1t affects the Tri-City
Railway company of Iowa. the Tri-
City Railway company of Illinois,
and the Moline, Rock Island &
Eastern Traction company.
Most of the office work for all OF
these companies is done at the Dav-
export general office. The increase
is equally divided for Illinois and
Illinois companies.
SSince the new 60-cent scale Of
the car men was put into force the
Tri-City Railway & Light company
has also given it's linemen a bonus
of seven cents all hour. They for
merly drew 63 1-3 and 68 1-3 cents
an hour They now draw 70 and
rs cents an hour.

This interesting statement is cor
roborated by DR.. Gore of the
bureau of chemistry, who has ex-
perimented with this crab apple
cider in a scientific way, just as
Mr.. Whitney has experimental with
it in professional way. Mr.. Whit
ney has hundred trees bearing
this wonderful apple, but he keeps
most of the cider that he makes
from them for his own use and that
of his family and intimate friends.
Is An Art
The dealer and the scientist
agree that the making of. apple
cider is an art, that many good ap-
pies are ruined in the attempt to
make cider, and that the making
of hard cider in the home is not
apt ever to become a widely sue
cessful practice
In the first place, the right varie-
ties of apples must be used. Sum
mer apples are no good. A fine
winter apple is necessary, such as
the Ben Davis or the Winesap. OF
course, culls are used almost ex-
clusiVely, but they must be culls
of the better sort. Many rotten or
wormy apples will spoil the cider.
In the second place, the pressing
must be done in cold weather. In
fact, cold is the secret of good
cider must never be warm. The
out of the apples until it finds lodg-
ment within the human system,
cider must never be worm. The
layman generally associates
warmth with fermentation, but
cider will ferment at any tempera-
ture above freezing, and at any
temperature above As degrees
Fahrenheit it will turn to vinegar
The juice must therefore be press
ed out on a cold day and must be
put Immediately in a cold place. A
cold cellar is good in winter i'll
cold climates. Otherwise it must
be put in an ice box or in some
other form of artificial cold stor-
age.
The cask is also important. A
50-gallon whisky barrel is best. \
wine barrel with slaves a couple
of inches thick. that will keep out
air is also good. A vinegar barrel
must never be used, nor will
cheap barrel with thin porous sides
serve the purpose. There must be
a small opening at the top of the
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-09-27

without scandalizing the righteous,
that cup may well contain cider.
Increase Cider Bars.
The new interest in cider has
had the effect of turning attention
upon the few cider mills and cider
bars which are scattered about the
country These establishments
have heretofore existed over
Swallowed by their more powerful
rivals. They are almost sure, now,
to increase in number and in i'm
portance.
A typical cider mill is the estab-
lishment of T. NJ. Whitney on
Pennsylvania avenue, here in
Washington. Mr. Whitney has been
making cider and cider vinegar,
and nothing else, at this same
stand for IS years, and yet many
Washingtonians have discovered
the place but recently. The back
part of Mr.. Whitney's establish
ment is factory where so barrels
of cider per day are turned out by
steam power presses. The front
Part is a bar of the old-fashioned
kind, with a foot rest and a CRATE
full fragrance. Nothing but cider
passes over this bar.
Mr.. Whitney, kindly old gentle
man, is what people describe as a
character. He knows cider from
the tree to the stomach in all its
varieties and ages. On his country
place he raises apples SO that he
may experiment with different
varieties in the making of cider. He
will tell you, for example, about
the Hughes Virginia crab apple,
little known brand, which is the
most wonderful cider apple in the
world. Cider, made properly from
this little red apple with the black
spots, has a peculiarly delicate
favor, and has the further pecul-
iarity that it will develop 10 per
cent of alcohol without a trace of
acid. OF course, it need not be
developed to that extent
This crab apple cider also pro-
duces an exceptionally fine bead"
as the farmers say-a content of
carbon dioxide, which makes 1t
tickle the tongue just like soda
water. Mr.. Whitney says that a
good cider made from these apples,
and aged under the proper condi-
tons, is the nearest thing in the
world to a ringer for champagne.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-09-27

barrel, covered with gauze or
screen, so that the surplus carbon
dioxide can escape, but the cask
must be absolutely air tight every
where else.
If thus treated, the cider will de-
velop in four to six weeks a very
slight percentage of alcohol and a
fine bead. AS a soft drink it will
then be at its best, and very delic-
ious. After three or four months,
it will probably contain four or fiYe
per cent of alcohol, and will still
be very acceptable drink. Ordi-
nary cider will never develop more
than five per cent of alcohol. You
must get crab apple cider if you
aspire to make something stronger.
AS either of the stages mention
ed, the cider may be bottled, like
wine, and so kept in an air-tight
condition and in a cool place for a
long time.
Buy From Expert.
1t is evident that the amateur
does not stand much chance of
carrying out this process with real
success. Generally, the best he
can do is to buy fresh cider from
a farmer and drink it before the
acetic acid begins to form. Even
if he has cold storage facilities,
most of the cider that he might
buy from farmers would not serve
the purpose of shortage because it
would probably not have been
pressed under the right conditions
or kept under the right conditions
until it came into his hands. If
you wish to have good cider this
winter, your best plan would be to
buy a barrel of cider from some
expert cider maker-not an ordi-
nary farmer. Be sure that the
cider was made in October or No
vember, that 1T is put up in a good
whisky or wine barrel, and that it
has been kept in cool cellar. Then
put it in your own cellar, if you
are sure the temperature there
will stay below As degrees. If
you are not sure of that, rent a
home for your little cider barrel in
some local cold storage plant By
Christmas you will have something.

The meat market of C. L. Speck-

broken into last night.
1t is supposed to have been the
work of small boys, as nothing was
touched but 81 in change. Moth

Entrance was gained through a
back window that had been left
open, with only the screen as a
protection. The icebox was also
opened and meats were strewn all

CIDER MARKET
BEING BULLED,,
HASKIN CLAIMS
Few Years Ago a Barrel Brought
S., but Now the Purchaser Is
Lucky if It's Only $50.
BY FREDERIC ]. HAsKIN.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The cider
market is being bulled.
A few years ago you could buy
all the cider you wanted for SIS a
barrel. Now you are lucky if you
can buy a barrel of good cider for
$40, and in many sections you are
lucky if you can buy good cider
at all.
This sudden demand increased
for cider may, or may not, be con-
nected with the fact that the senate
has excluded notwithstanding CT
der and wine from the long list of
beverages banned and that the con-
ference committee on the prohibit
ton measure shows a tendency to
concur in this leniency. OF course,
the conference committee may
change it's mind, even before this
is off the press, but if present in
dications hold good you may make
cider and own cider without break
ing the law.
1t seems probable that cider may
rise to the dignity of a national
beverage. Cider has for many
years been made in almost every
community in the United States.
Most Americans are acquainted
with cider as a soft or semi-soft
drink which is both wholesome and
good to the palate, and a few of
them are aware that cider which
has attained a mature age under
favorable conditions is not so soft
In fact, the drinking of hard cider
is in some country communities a
well recognized and popular vice.
But cider is wholesome, and it new
er develops a very high percentage
of alcohol. Furthermore. the max
ing of hard cider is a difficult art
which not many amateurs will mas
ter. If not hardened in just exact
ly the right way, the cider will turn
into vinegar and align itself with
the white-ribboners by biting the
tongue of the would-be sinner.
Most of US probably will never
know cider except in its strictly
fresh and very mildly alcoholic
condition, and few of US have
enough room inside to get drunk
on a one or two per cent beverage.
1t would seem, therefore, that if
there is any beverage in the world
besides spring water and milk with
which an American citizen can be
trusted alone, cider is that one. If
there is a cup that cheers without
lnebriating. that can keep the joy
of convivality alive in the world
