The Jewish cemetery controversy
esAit came before the city COM
missGpners whom 8. Slaterdowsky.
president Of the association, com
piained yesterday afternoon that no
offer had been made the associa-
ton for purchase Of the cemetery
site ~ property holders in the new
annexed territory, - he said was
promised.
The fight to annex the $50 acre
tract between Eighteenth and Thir-
ty-si4th streets centered around the
7-acrT Jewish cemetery site, which
allspfoperty holders In the district
! exprSssed themselves as against.
In fact, the city oflicials hold that
had Il not been for the city booster
spirit shown by the Jewish people
at that time the large tract Of land
would not have been annexed.
Thu cemetery association had pur-
chased the cemetery site and was
prep&ring It for q burial ground
when the property holders appear
Cd before the city officials with
STRENUOUS objections. Under the
law The city has power to deny
rightsto locate q cemetery within
one mile Of the city limits. The
property holders asked that this
law be put in force.
The question YVES argued for sew
eral weeks last summer. The prop
erty hifders finally agreed to sign
petitions for annexation Of the tract
to the city, protect the Jewish Gem
etery association from financial
loss IN case the city could persuade
the association to give up its ceme-
terry site.
/ Jewish People Agree.
After several conferences be-
tween the city officials, those Of the
association and its attorney, Ben
Stewart, the association agreed to
give up its cemetery site If all costs
to thu association were paid. The
-Iewi1h people said that they did not
want 10 hold up any plan that would
be Of. benefit to the city.
/ Land Is Annexed.
Property holders then signed the
petitions for annexation and on
Aug. s19, at a special election, the
citizens of Rock Island voted in the
new territory.
4 Three months have passed and
the cemetery association still has
the 7-acre tract on its hands. The
property holders have not purchas-
ed IT. and have not even presented
an offer covering the costs to the

NEW EYELIDS MADE FROM LEG
Operation Restores Sight of Maine
Man Injured Forty-Seven
Years Ago.

Bangor, Me.-Forty-seven years
without closing his eyes, then a period
of total blindness, followed by COM
plete restoration of sight, this is the
experience of John Randolph Watson
Of the town Of Standish.
Mr.. Watson was photographer In
Indianola, and in 1855 an explosion OF
chemicals burned away his eyelids, al
though tie sight. was not affected. But
with unprotected eyes he continued
for nearly half century, three years
Of the period being spent in Alaska,
where the severity Of the climate
caused cataracts to form on both eyes
and results in loss of sight.
He went to Philadelphia later, where
he formerly lived for time, and was
at the Hahnemann hospital, and by
grating flesh from his leg he got q
new set of eyelids. The success of the
operation is now assured. The cata-
racts were removed and the sight has
been restored.

the spring of 1917, were $50 to $50 a
month and board. In 1913 and 1919 the
rate jumped to $50 to $50 month, and
in some instances as high as SIS or
$50 has been paid. Just now, because
Maine is pretty well stocked, the de-
mand for labor and the price show a
declining tendency. But in the United
States as a whole the supply Of wood
Is short Of the demand, and there
seems to be no prospect of lower
prices either Of labor or product.
One operator In Maine, a Massa-
chusetts man, who got into the lum-
Der business through his love Of ma
ture, cut last year on Molunceus and
the east branch Of the Penobscot
10000 cords, or 100000 feet, of pulp
wood and 100000 feet Of long logs
and will cut this year 10000 cords, or
100000 feet of pulp wood, employ
ing 600 men at $62 month and
board or for piece work, $3.50 to 1915
a cord.
The common impression is that all
wood pulp is made into paper and
that the increased demand for news
print alone is responsible for tho &C.
mutation of our forest lands. 1t is
true that most Of the pulp goes to
satisfy the appetite of the printing
presses, but there have been devel-
oped in recent years many and vari-
GUS other uses for the fiber of the
spruce and poplar. Innumerable
articles are now made Of wood pulp
doors, Dishes buttons, boards, boxes,
pie plates by the million, trunks and
car wheels, and milady who parades
the avenue, proud Of her gown Of
tricolette, may be surprised to learn
that in that silken fabric is woven
the fiber Of the spruce-that she owes
something Of the luster and durable
texture of her finery to, the fragrant
forests of Maine. ,et-a sa

COOPERATIVE SHIPPING PLAN
Bows of Florida County to Market
Their Pigs in acknowledgements

prepared by the United States Depart

The pig club boys of Madison coun-
ty. Fla, are planning to market their
pigs next fall in a cooperative car
load shipment. These boys are now
busily engaged in a feeding contest
and are working for one of a number
of prizes offered for the most success
full feeders. Peanut meal and corn,
with rape and rye pastures, make up
the present rations of the club pigs.
The local county agent has already
informed a number of livestock COM
mission companies of the plan OF mar
keting the club pigs, and states that
the buyer will have to bid above the
market price to get them.

youngster have brought to maturity
animals which otherwise would not
have survived infancy. AS result,
the meat supply is increased and the
boy or girl is enabled to earn money.
The father of little girl In Arson
county, N c., who was very anxious to
join pig club, repeatedly refused to
give her a pig. One of his pigs did
not dc well last year and he tried to
sell the 'runt" for 81, but could not
find buyer. His wife persuaded him
to give the friendless pig to the little
girl. Care and careful feeding brought
1t to maturity. After while the club
members herd was increased to six.
The little girl traded the best two OF
the litter to her father for sole possess
sion Of the mother hog, and sold the
other three for SIS. Having now &C
quired a membership in the pig CLUB,
she plans to continue in the work.

vermin Adds to Cost
of Producing Pork

Washington, d. C.--Lice add
a cent a pound to the cost Of
producing pork. This has been
found in tests just completed
at the experiment farm Of the
United States department of
agriculture at Beltsville, Md.
Twenty-four lousy hogs were
secured and divided into two
lots as nearly equal as to quality
of animals as possible.
The two lots were managed
and fed the same way with the
exception that one lot was treat
ed to prevent lice. The animals
were weighed at regular inter
walls and at the end Of the fat
tening period it was found that
the hogs infested with lice cost
a cent a pound more to fatten
than those which were free Of
the troublesome pest.
The officials OF the depart
ment who had charge Of this ex-
pertinent give an interesting
side light in connection with
securing the lousy animals.
They communicated with some
Of the departments field men,
asking them to locate lousy
hogs. 1t was some time before
a reply was received to this
surprising order. After the
lousy hogs were purchased the
owner learned why, and he jm-
mediately built dipping vat
and began to treat the animals
to prevent lice.

dead from the temporary graves dug
for them under fire or at night on the
field where they fell and laid them to
rest in concentration centers.
Each cemetery is surrounded by
painted fence and the grass on the
graves is kept green and cared for by
a detachment of soldiers left on duty
as caretakers. The largest is at Ro-
magne, where lie $4,000 Americans
who died in the Argonne and Meuse
sectors, and the next largest is at
Thiaucourt, where 1900 soldiers who
died al st. Mihiel and Toul are buried.

DANGER OF WOOD
FAMINE is SEEN

Logging used to begin in November
and end in March. Now it goes on at
all seasons.
Saw Mills Small Factor.
The saw mill is n small factor In
the great game of turning Maine for
ests into money. The long log
ger, that is, he who cuts for sawmills,
Is almost extinct. The big sawmill
drives are seen no more. This is the
day of the 'four-foot stuff" which
makes up most Of the drives and gives
business to the railroads. The pulp
mills eat up so many millions Of feet
of spruce that speculative and Stats
tical persons wonder where it all
comes from and how long the supply
will last. So far as Maine is CON
cerned there need be no fear Of wood
famine very soon, but at the pres
ent rate of cutting there is bound to
be. scarcity in the United States with
in a few years that will send prices
kiting.
The present annual consumption Of
pulp wood east of the Mississippi
river is about 100000 cords, or $780,
100000 feet. That is using wood at a
reckless rate, even with a big supply
in sight. But there is greater drain
upon our wood resources. Fire takes
more than the mills. The eastern
slope of the Rockies is rs per cent
burnt land, and the timber map Is
splotched with great black patches all
the way from Puget sound to the
Penobscot. In some parts Of Maine
the burnt area greatly exceeds the
green. In the South the pine and the
cypress are being cut away at an
alarming rate, and In the Pacific states
the Douglas fir and other growths are
being turned into money as rapidly
as possible. .
To make up for all the cutting, lit
tie is being done. Scientific forestry
is making some progress, but as vet
efforts in that direction are as nothing
compared with tree slaughter. Re-
forestation is being carried on in some
states, as on a small scale, in Maine.
but tree doesn't grow in day. A
big spruce may be felled in five min
utes, but its reproduction will re-
Quire 40 years.
It is not altogether question Of
wood supply, either. AS the forests go
the floods will come, waterpowers
will fail and all industry will suf-
fer. Therefore, there must be lot
Of tree planting In this country, else
pretty much everything will go BY the
board.
Advance In Pulp Wood Values.
The advance in pulp wood values
within 80 months has been remark
able, even for the times. Before the
entrance of this country into the war,
peeled wood delivered In the mill yard
in Maine was worth SO cord.
Now the price is $18 In Maine and In
New York state 500 cord. This adj
vance is due in part to higher wages
and in part to little profiteering or a
turn OF thrift by the land owners.
Wages before the war, that is, up to

LIVESTOCK
GNOTESN

The horses should be given plenty
of fresh water regularly every day.
Regular feeding is of paramount inn
portance in keeping stock in healthy
condition.
Pasture lands devoted to sheep have
greater possibility Of their own sus-
tenance than any other.
The rule is that it is better not to
milk the cow before freshening unless
it become absolutely necessary.
There is nothing like a self-feeder
to give pigs a good start, and it is the
start they get that tells in the wind
up.
BY providing good pasture crops for
lambs after weaving, a setback in
growth may frequently be avoided and
the lambs marketed at an earlier age.
The number Of pigs a sow finds
depends entirely upon the care and
feed she received previous to being
bred.
Cattle should be cut off feed about
sc to AZ hours previous to shipping
and fed perhaps pint or SO Of grain,
with plenty of timothy hay.
1t does not pay to feed up cattle
with grain and expensive feed in the
winter only to let them wear off or

Fatten hogs on self-feeders as far
as possible. Hogs fed in this way save
labor, save feed in proportion to the
gain in weight made, and are ready
for market sooner than those which
are hand fed. Less feed is actually
required to fatten when hogs are self
fed. The system is therefore econom-
ical in every respect.

Nearly Two Score Are Killed in
War Between Whites and
Blacks in Chicago.
STATE TROOPS CALLED OUT
Street Car Men Strike at Same Time
Urgency of Action to Cut Living
Cost Impressed on Govern
ment-Status of Peace
Treaty Contest.
By EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Race riots and strikes made chicago
the news center of the country for the
week, and the news from 1T was SEN
sational and plentiful Starting In
trifiing quarrel over the "color line"
at a bathing beach, a real race war
sprang up with startling suddenness
and quickly spread throughout the
South side of the city, where most OF
the negroes live, and thence to the
downtown business district, with spo-
radio outbreaks in other regions. Be-
fore the authorities got the situation
under control nearly two score per-
sons had been killed and several hum
dred wounded. For several days the
mayor insisted the police could re-
store order, but realization Of his mis-
take was forced on him and he called
on the governor for assistance from
the state militia. Several regiments
at once occupied the 'black belt"
However, the establishment OF martial
law was avoided and thus the city
saved its face"
There is no doubt that the casualty
lists of the race war were kept down
by the fact that the strike of the
street car men was coincident with
the riots. Not a surface or elevated
car was running and it was compare
lively easy for the authorities to keep
out of the riot district the trouble and
curiosity seekers. The strike, which
had been impending for some time,
was precipitated suddenly by the rad
icai element in the car mems unions,
compromise offer of the companies, ap-
proved by the state and city authOri-
ties and the heads Of the unions, be-
ing rejected. Though seriously ham,
pered in getting to its work and in
transacting business, the public took
the situation good naturally and made
its way to the business district and
home again with rather remarkable
facility. All manner of motor We
hicles were pressed into service and
the steam roads exerted every effort
to carry their many thousands of extra
passengers The demand Of the car

meant corresponding increase in the

There have been many bitter COM
plants lately to the effect that the
government was not doing what it
might to reduce the cost of living by
selling to consumers the immense sur
plus stores of food held by the war
department On Thursday the war
department put on sale about 341 ,000,
600 pounds of those foodstuffs, includ-
ing canned vegetables, corned beef,
bacon, roast beef, frozen meats and
poultry. The marketing was done
through local postmasters and mail
carriers, who took orders from buy
ers, received the cash and delivered
the goods. The prices obtained rep
resented the cost to the government
plus the postage. This sale was es-
