Do NOT Be TROUBLED
B! BIG SHOE BILLS

Fifteen months of service from a pair
of Neolin Soles is claimed by +. T.
Evans of Seattle, Washington. Then
] had them half-soled and they are
still good" says Mr.. Evans.
Big shoe bills do not trouble the man
who gets wear like this from his shoes.
If you are interested In cutting down
your shoe expense, be sure that the
shoes you buy have Neolin Soles.
You can get them on new shoes in
many styles for men, women, and
children; and they are available every
where for re-soling, too.
Neolin Soles are made by Science to
give long wear, and to be comfortable
and waterproof. They are manufa--
tured by The Goodyear Tire e. Rubber
Co., Akron, Ohio, who also manufac-
ture Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to
cutwear all other heels.

The Day in Davenport

To Restrict Traffic.-The plan for
restricting Main street to light
traffic has been revived by Alder
nan Chris Behrens and will be pre-
scented to the city council for con-
sheraton at the meeting tomorrow.
The proposition has been up many
times, but has never been favorably
considered. Diverting heavy traffic
from Main street is of interest to
Rock Islanders, because it will
keep traffic out of the loop. This
is the new angle to the scheme.
/ ormerly it has been proposed in
order to save the paving on the
thoroughfare.
Goods Identified. Goods found in
tile room of Mrs. William Bernard,
who was arrested Saturday as a
shoplifter, were identified by rep
resentatives of the department
stores from which they were stol-
en-. Mrs. Bernard has made a COM
plese confession to the police. She
was unable to tell where each stol-
Ell article was taken, but she said
all of it had been stolen by her
from local department stores. Her
case may be taken up by the grand
jIry, which is now in session. 1t
is predicted that an indictment
charging her with larceny will be
returned.
Tag Day No JOke-Staging a tag
day for the starving Armenians"

William Michaelis, no was arrest
ed in Davenport Saturday. The
Scott county grand jury is consid-
ering the case now, and probably
will return an Indictment charging
him with obtaining money under
false pretenses. All of the girls
whom Michaelis employed turned
in their receipts to the police Sat
urdav night and Sunday and were
paid the 20 per cent they had been
promised. The rest Of the money
viii be turned over to the Arme-
man fund.

''nhall" In translating from the French
text; II appears that these two words
were used interchangeably without
regard to the great difference In
meaning.
An important amendment made In
the financial clauses gives the Repara-
tons Commission authority to permit
Germany to raise' working capital
with which to start her industries
This IL intended to enable her 10 meet
her reparatiOn debts. According "a
the original text an absolute first
charge was established upon German
assets and revenues to meet repara-
tions payments. In order to meet
this charge Germany might have 60
exhausted her finances that she could
not have resumed business. The
change seems q wise one from the
Allied point of view and 1t should be
a real help to German industry.

THE HARVEST is ON

In spite Of a thousand and one pre-
dictions to the contrary the big Chero-
kee county wheat crop is safe and in
the vernacular of the ball game, "k's
all over but the shouting" The bulk
of the crop will be cut and in the
shock by next Saturday night and the
owners may then sit back and take a
full breath; that is, if they have some
insurance against fire, for there is still
some risk to run and there will be, as
one farmer put it, "till the money is
in the bank" Wheat growing is an
EXPENSIVE business and especially SO
when seed wheat costs $500 a bushel
to secure. The game has been a stren-
nous one ever since last fall and the
crop has had to run, the gauntlet OF
threatened drouth in the fall months
and in turn the danger of freezing out
or washing out later on. The pessi-
mists have visited about everything
upon the young crop that could DC
named from Hessian fly to II year 10
Gusts and it begins to look like Provi-
dence had something to do with bring
ing the crop out to a successful mn
ish, Just when so badly needed With
a guaranteed price Of better than 81
per bushel the farmer is going to be
able to take up that mortgage, II any
make some badly needed repairs OF
the buildings and do some painting. a
good many will be able to get ma anC

NOTIFICATIONS

Latest reports from the Council Of
Four meeting at Paris to discuss pro-
posed notifications Of the Peace
Treaty to be given to Germany make
the rather surprising statement that
the following five @Annexes" to the
treaty have been suggested and are
being seriously taken up. The hve
notifications are as follows:
az The amount Of reparatiOn not
to be named, but the ReparatiOh Com
mittee to be directed to fix It within
three or four months after the sign
ing Of the treaty, instead Of two years.
(2) Control Of the Reparations
Commission over Germany financial
legislation to be materially eurtAiled.
(s) The period Of occupation Of
Germany not to be changed, but rea-
sOuabIe amount named which Ger
many shah pay annually for the cost
Of occupation, this amount being IN
suRidsnt to maintain q large allied
army.
lI) Germany 10 Be assured admis-
Baxter Springs news., 1919-06-20

sion to the League of Nations within
q measurable period, such admission
probably TO be coincident with the
withdrawal Of the army Of occupation
(6) II upper Silesia votes for Pol
ish annexation, Germany TO be permit
ter to purchase coal from the Silesian
fields in amounts commensurate with
her industrial needs.
All of these proposals are more or
less far-reaching but the most sur
prising are the first two, which pro-
vide for the fixing Of q definite sum TO
be paid by the Germans, the amount
to be settled within four months after
the signing of the treaty, and the cur
tailment of the power Of the Repara-
ton Commission over Germany. II
has been offered by many rs q criti'
cism of the ReparatiOns Commission
that its activities in determining what
Germany could pay, according to the
terms of the original treaty, and viz
tually forcing Germany to sign Q
blank check for q period OF thirty
wears would have q depressing effect
on German industry. Some authOri'
ties are Of the opinion that Germany
never could pay an indemnity as large
as France wishes her to and that II
would be better to require a definite
fixed sum than to leave the matter fol
future adjustment.
