TALK SECRETLY
OF MORE FUNDS
I'm JAIL FARCE
Matter EntaIling About $4,000
Which County is Asked to
Pay Under Discussion.
BOARD MEMBERS SIGN NOTES
In Payment to Contractors for
Basement Work-HOney From
General Fund Sought.

JAN Iitigation-the lost cause
in its new financial aspects was
discussed pro and con in secret SEES
sion by members of the Rock Island
county board OF supervisors this
noon.
AS a committee of the whole
with all newspaper men barred
the supervisors fingered long into
the luncheon hour.
From what could be learned fol-
lowing the temporary adjournment
Of the meeting until afternoon, a
principal issue-one long antici-
pated-is the payment of contrac-
tors. P. II. Lorenz, Channon &
Dufva and others, from funds of
the county. Such payment, it is
said, involves legal questions and
lawyers were summoned for advice
during this afternoons contin-
uance of the session.
1t is said that members of the
special Jail committee of the board
of supervisors signed notes that
secured the contractors, rumors to
this effect being current since the
construction work on the basement
walls Of the Jail has been COM
pleted.
If this is true and the county
falls to furnish the money for the
work done, the matter will be
personal one between the signers
and contractors.
About $4,000 is the sum thus
involved. If it is paid it will
bring the total expenditures to ap-
proximately $4,000, with a chance
of some salvage in the heating
plant. the latter being still mat
c$I of court wrsnglings.
Payment Illegal!
The special Jail fund cannot be
used for the payment of the con-
tractors. Board members are also
fighting shy Of payment of the
money from the general county
fund, because of the possibility of
such procedure leading to fur
Their litigation, if the question of the
legality Of such action is raised.
The appropriation committee.
upon request, was granted more
time to prepare a report upon the
request of the Rock Island county
farm bureau for an appropriation
of 81 900. Supervisor Childs OF
Moline in speaking of the matter
declared that before the committee
favored recommending the re-
quired sum, a report showing ex-

Alcohol and
Automobiles
Why Passing Of John Baheycorn
VIII be Boon to Motors, and
to Motor Industry

Says one motorcar builder who is
also a bit of philosopher:
Old John BarleycOrn is getting ready
TO take the count. By next July he'll
he groggy and by January ], 1920, the
average citizen will not be able to fill
Il thimble. What will this mean to the
automobile industry? A great deal,
viz:
/. There will be few mOtorcar acct
dents, because rum has been at the
bottom of most disasters.
2. There will be fewer arrests for
speeding. because it is rum that makes
the auto go.
3. The pest Of the roadhouses and
their bars will be removed, thereby en-
HANGING touring for those who don't
care for barroom lettering and the pur-
suits thereof.
4. Billions Of dollars spent for booze
will be available for other purchases.
The motorcar industry will benefit by
this
8. There will be more alcohol to put
into anti-freeze mixtures-not for the
human system, but the automobiles
system.

Without the Wind and Air
All Life Would Cease and
Vegetation Would Perish

Everybody knows what the wind is,
Of course Why, you can feel it, and
see the trees bend before 1t. and the
dust carried along and leaves over
turned and the clouds moved by the
wind, writes George +. Burba, in the
Columbus Dispatch. The wind is a
movement Of the air; when the air is
still. there is no wind. and when the
air moves hurriedly that is what we
call wind. Certainly all of that is
simple enough.
But sit right down here and try to
figure out what the wind Is, and where
it comes from and where it goes-and
yet we find that the fellow who wrote
in the Bible that no man knew from
whence the wind came. nor whittier II
listeth, had 1t about right. 1t Is easy
enough to know the effects of the wind
The hot winds of summer burn and
scorch. and the cold winds of winter
bite and sting. Moisture Is absorbed by
the air when the winds are blowing
or the winds dry up the roads, as we
say.
Neither the birds nor the animals
like the wind. They avoid 1t the best
they can, both in winter and In sum-
mer. They prefer calm. quiet day to
windy day. They make their homes
and nests where they will be least af-
fected by the wind. You Will always
find rabbit sitting where the wind
doesn't blow upon 1t; 1t is protected
from the wind always. The same thing
Is true of other animals. and of the
birds.
And yet the wind Is tremendously
useful. II the air were to remain mo-
tionless for day, II perfect calm
should come over the face of the earth,
life would cease/to be. and vegetation
would perish. Everything would suf.
focate or be destroyed. For it is the
wind that keeps the earth pure and
sweet and fresh. and prevents animal
life from burning up, and makes vege.
table life possible.
And when 1t comes to pure delight
there isn't anything that exceeds the
wind. To have 1t pass over us. to feel
1t upon our cheeks, even when 1t Is
cold and harsh, surely there is nothing
more glorious. To walk in the face OF
a storm. as If meeting the wind half
way-there Isn't anything finer thar
that, and we are going to miss lot OF
pleasure IL we do not get out and face
the wind-and enjoy 1t.

Years Trapping Nets Pair
S10,00O1SoIe Residents. of
Island Off Cordova, Alaska

For nine years Joseph Ibach and his
wife have been the sole residents of
Middleton island. about 60 miles from
CordOva. Alaska. Recently they came
to Cordova with 100 blue fox skins,
valued at approximately $4,000 repre-
senting the fruits Of one years work
on spot Of land never visited by any
one except the crew of the power
schooner that takes supplies to the
!bachs and brings them to the coast.
The Ibachs never find time drag
cling on their hands. Feeding of their
foxes alone is considerable task, as
each animal requires two and half
pounds Of fish daily. With $50 foxes
on the island, the work of supplying
sufficient fish for them is formidable
in itself. Seal meat and vegetables
are also fed to the foxes, the vegeta-
bles being raised by the Ibachs.
In summer time the Ibachs some
times add much to their income by
panning the sands on the beach for
gold dust.
