NO JOB? STICK
TO ARMY FORCE
New Orders Received at Camp
Grant Permit Lads to Stay on
Service PayrOlls.

Camp Grant, Jan. 25.-Uncle Sam
has decided that he is not going to
discharge soldiers from the army
at this time who have no job to re-
turn to and who would find them
selves up against it for employ
ment A telegram from the adju-
tant general at Washington was re-
ceived at camp headquarters yes
terday ordering that any man that
wants to remain in service shall
be permitted to do so.
In other words, if a soldier who
is about to be returned to civil life,
finds that he is not likely to have
employment, his Uncle Sam will
keep him on his payroll, giving him
the usual thirty dollars a month,
room, board and clothing.
From this time on" said an Of
ficer, there can be no more Of
this cruel, cold world story stuff
heard from some of the men sent
home They can have a fair job
right in the army, where a lot Of
them are better off than they would
be in civil life"
1t has not been decided whether
a man who turns down a discharge
now because of not having work
waiting for him, will be released
as soon as he finds employment or
will have to remain in service at
the pleasure of the military authOri-
ties. Details regarding this point
are being awaited at the camp.

LOCUSTS COME
NEXT SUMMER
CicaGa, of 17-Ye:r Variety, Due in
Illinois and Number of
Other States.

The year 1919 is likely to be one
OF the worst locust years" on rec
ord. But entomologists of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
see nothing alarming in the pros
pect.
The periodical cicada, the real
name of the insect commonly called
locust" will appear this year in
the following states: Alabama, DIS
trict of Columbia. Delaware, Geor-
gia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New Jersey, New York,
North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Yer
mont, Virginia, West Virginia and
Wisconsin.
The injury done by the periodical
cicada consists almost wholly in
c1iseling grooves in the branches
of trees for depositing eggs. This
injury always appears greater than
it actually is. Popular alarm is
usually out of proportion to general
damage.
Young fruit trees are sometimes
killed by the cicada. The precau-
t:onary measures are: Defer put
ting out young fruit trees till next
year; postpone budding operations;
do no pruning this winter or spring.
When the insects begin coming
out, hand pick them from young
fruit trees or spray them with pyre-
thrum powder, kerosene emulsiors
or a solution of carbolic acid or
acetic acid.
Later, when the insects are ready
10 begin laying, spray young fruit
trees with whitewash.

DIR. COFFEE RESTORING SIGHT
To RIINn PEOPLE

1t is an unusual thing to see sight
restored to people who are perfect
ly blind in one or both eyes, with
out a surgical operation. In fact,
most people think it is impossible,
but the advancement of medical
science is doing many wonderful
things, giving encouragement to af-
flicted people who had no hopes of
relief. These thoughts come to
our mind in the visit to the office
of DR.. w. o. Coffee, the oculist,
meeting people who were blind and
deaf and cross-eyed obtaining re-
lief. He has restored sight to sew
eral people who were completely
blind in the last few months with
out surgical operation. Mrs.

most completely blind for 10 years.

years, restored to good sight. Miss

pletely blind in both eyes: her sight
was restored so she can see to
read. Charles Roberts was brought
to Davenport from Kentucky COM
pletely blind; sight was restored in
three weeks.
There is an article in another
part of this paper today about DR..
Coffee and the splendid work he
is doing here. Read it. People af-
flicted should go to hts office and
meet the people who are being
cured. See for yourself AS one
lady said, 1T is a wonderful thing

ISSUE WARNING
AT PEACE MEET
Powers Now Using Force for Terri.
tOrial Gain May Prejudice Their
Claims, Message Says.

Paris, Jan. 25.-The allied and
associated powers today agreed to
send a wireless message through
out the world warning all concern
ed that parties using armed force
to gain possession of territory the
claim to which the peace conference
would be asked to determine, would
seriously prejudice" the claims to
those who used such force.
The text of the message agreed
upon by the powers Is as follows:
The governments at the peace
conference are deeply disturbed by
the many instances in which armed
force is being used in many parts
of Europe and the east to gain pos
session of territory the rightful
claim to which the peace confer
ence is asked to determine. They
utter the serious warning that pos
session gained by force will ser
iously prejudice the claims of those
who use it. If justice is expected
they must place their claims in
good faith in the hands of the con-
ference"

JUDGE SHELDON
COMES MONDAY
Whiteside County Jarist VIII Sit In
Place of w. L. Church in
Circuit Court.

Carl E. Sheldon. judge of the
Sterling city court in Whiteside
county, will be in Rock Island on
Monday to take the bench in circuit
court in place of Judge W. T.
Church. He will act for Judge
Church for one week, during which
the latter will remain apart from
official court duties.
1t is the plan of Judge Church
to next week take active part in
the campaign for his nomination as
Republican candidate for judge of
the supreme court to fill the vac
ancy caused by the resignation of
Judge George A. Cooke. The pri-
maries in the fourth supreme court
district of Illinois will be held on
the first Tuesday in April.
Court duties have been especially
heavy for Judge Church within the
last few months. Due to the ILL
ness of Judge F. d. Ramsay, inca
pacitating the latter for active
bench work, and the i'll health of
Judge Emery c. Graves who also
is fully occupied with his office as
justice of the appellate court, the
burden of circuit court work has de-
yolved upon Judge Church. With
out his customary periods of rest
he has continued, endeayoring to
undertake so far as possible duties
undone. Added to this is the fact
that court terms have been unusu-
ally heavy during the last few
months, due to the unusually large
docket.

BREAD LINES MAY
BE NECESSARY IN
DIES MONIES SOON

Des Moines, Jan. 25-Severe work
shortage in Des Moines may result
in bread lines and soup kitchens
for an army of unemployed.
That is the prediction of c. NJ
Davis, in charge of the government
employment office here. Mr.. Davis
says that 100 men apply daily at
the office for positions and that
less than 10 per cent of these can
be placed. Professional men and
those with vocational training are
in luck, for there is a demand for
skilled workers. But for the IN
skilled man, the laborer, there is
nothing.

REDUCE NUMBER
WORKING HOURS
Serious Situation Brought On By
Labor Surplus Solved BY
Shorter Days.
IMMEDIATE ACTION URGED
Standard S-H0ur Law Necessary to
Re-adjust Matters and Allow
Employment for All.

Adoption of an S-hour day in
every tri-city factory in place of
the present 8, 91z and 10-hour
working days will solve the labor
problem that threatens 20 become
serious in this community, labor
federation officials point out in an
article in this weeks Labor Re
view.
In reducing the number of work.
ing hours the factory executives
could place more on their payroll
and thereby provide work for all,
it is indicated.
The present surplus of laborers
in the tri-cities is being added to
daily by others thrown out of work
and returning soldiers. While
every effort is being made at the
Illinois employment Office under
the direction of Fred w. Rinck,
superintendent, to place every ap-
pIicant for work. the situation is
becoming alarming. Unemployed
men are being sent from the DAY.
export employment bureau, max
ing a heavier burden fo- the local
force.
In suggesting the 8-hour day. the
Labor Review says the following
Just as long as employers in
sist that their employees shall be
compelled to work unreasonably
long hours in order to earn a live
lihoOd, just as long as they encour-
age the piece work and speed up
system, which compels q human
being to labor at The maximum
speed and to the limit of human
endurance in order to exc out
bare living, just SO long ' i'll We be
faced with the unemployment
question.
Plenty Work.
There is plenty Of work in this
country for everyone, the trouble
is with the improper distribution.
There is no question but what the
tri-cities in the very near future
will be confronted with very
serious labor situation, and it is up
to us to do our utmost to be pre-
pared to meet the crisis when it
arrives. Thousands of soldiers
are yet to return here.
What shall be their welcome?
Are we to greet them at the train
with glad cries Of welcome, tender
them a banquet and then send
them forth on the industrial field
Of the tri-cities to be CON PEELED to
enter competition with their broth
ers for the right to earn a living?
Is this to be the reward of the
boys who, for weeks anG months
stood knee deep in the mud and
slime of No Mans land, facing
death in some of its most hideous
forms, seeing their pals drop gasp
ing for breath suffocated by the
poisonous fumes of the Huns. I'M
certain as to whether the next mo-
ment their heads might not be
blown from their bodies; while
here at home surrounded by all
the Injuries that money could buy,
men grew enormously wealthy.
We sound this note o. warning
that labor has fought and won this
war for democracy and il is de-
termtned that there shall be no
abridgment of its rights as saviors
or the nation to be allowed the op-
portunity to earn a decent living"
