The Day In Davenport

Two Injured in Fray.-Search for
an unknown Mexican, eyewitness
to a shooting and stabbing ARRAY
in Bettendorf Tuesday night in
which Augusta Perez and Alberta
Vera were wounded, the former
probably fatally, is being made by
Scott county officials in an effort to
clear up the mystery surrounding
the motive for the assault. Perez
was shot through the abdomen and
probably will die. Vera was slash
ed across the neck and chest He
will recover Both men are in
Mercy hospital A grudge dating
from Dec. last, when Vera was
found lying. at Front and Rock Is
land streets suffering from injuries
sustained in a fight, is believed to
have been the motive which culmin-
ated in the fight Tuesday night.
Jury Lenient With a plea for
leniency, the jury in the George
Stoneking case yesterday brought
in verdict of guilty of stealing an
automobile belonging to George W.
Tyner. The jury was out eight
hours. The price of the stolen auto
is fixed at $500. In it's recommend
alton for leniency the jury points
to the youth of the prisoner, who is
not yet 81, and to the previous good
record he has borne. The sentence
has not yet been given.

High School Notes

There are number Of the High
School students absent from school
on account of the flu.
Mr.. Cash, the Manual Training
teacher, and three of his children
are very i'll with the influenza
Wednesday afternoon the boys
of the Cpchise Society and the boys
of the Crescent Society played a
very interesting game Of basket
ball. The score, was "a to 19 in
favor of Cochise.
DR.. O. S. Gray, the lecturer, ad-
dressed the students of the school
Tuesday afternoon. He urged them
to work with definite goal in view,
and not to lose sight of their ideals,
but to keep them constantly before
them, thus making SIN bother the
road to sl1ccess.

mobilizing armies there are at least
half a million men who have,
through their army work, familiar
lied themselves with automobile
operating and repairing and gas en-
gine work generally. With these
discharged into civil life there are
not likely to be heavy enough de-
mands for newcomers in this line
of endeavor.
And in this connection, the au-

grown over there in the immediate
vicinity far exceed anything grown
around here, which fact needs no
further comment.
Let us hope that our local farrh-
ers will take a reasonable view of
this proposition. A large smelling
enterprise here cannot but help our
farmers in the way of creating
larger and better local market for
their products, and it will enhance
their land values as we'll. That is
undoubtedly the way nearly all
the farmers feel about it anyway.

Work ON the Smelter
Making Progress
Plant Beginning to Take on the
Appearance of a Going"
Industrial Enterprise

Construction work at the smeltey
is progressing steadily, and be-
tween twenty and thirty men, are
employed in this work. Things
have commenced to assume more
definite shape around the plant,
but there is yet a good deal to be
done before it is ready to blow
in. )" One noticeable fact is the
substantial character of the new
construction being performed
A smelter enterprise Of this cali
Der, conducted on strictly legiti-
mate lines and on clean business
principles, cannot fail to succeed
here, and this enterprise is entitled
to the moral support of the Benson
people. It will strengthen the
growth of the community in gen
eral and Of the town of Benson in
particular
When placed in operation it will
immediately mean an increase in
the local population of some forty
or fifty families, and the distribu-
tiou of a monthly payroll Of be-
tween $5,0OO.O0 and 81. 100000 !;
and this is>only beginning. The
people who are responsibleAfor es-
tablishing this enterprise here seem
to be quite confident that the pres
ent plant is only the nucleus of a
much larger one in the near
future.
In this connection, it might. be
mentioned that a few of the farm
ers in the, San Pedro Valley appear
apprehensive of the smelter smoke
being injurious to their crops. The
Signal has been fully convinced
hatsthis is a needless fear. In the
first piece, the amount of smoke
from this sne1ter will be SO small
that its effect on vegetation will be
negligible. In the second place
the smoke and gases that will be
produced from ores to be treated
here do not contain sufficient
amounts Of elements injurious to
plant life anyway, even if the ca
pacity of the smelter<was five times
as great.
AS an example. we might men
ftion the large smelter at the city Of
FL Paso, in the heart Of the Rio
Grande Valley, which is, if not the
largest, at least one of the largest
custom ~smelters in the world,
smelling from four to FIVE thousand
tons Of ore daily. SO far as we
know there has never been any
smoke trouble with the farmers in
that community, and the crops

ing Released Men Become
Capable and Efficient

What the Government wants to
do for its disabled heroes and how
every fighter, entitled to compen-
sation under the War Risk Insur-
ance Law, may secure the proposed
aid under the Vocational Rehabil-
itation Act is still unknown to
many disabled soldiers and sailors.
Agents of the Federal Board and
the Home Service of the Red Cross
are at work spreading this inform
alton Three offices have been es-
tablished by the Federal Board in
this district, one at San Francisco,
one at Los Angeles, and one, at
Phoenix. There is close co-opera-
ton between the Board and the
American Red Cross.
At least 10000 disabled Ameri-
can fighters are entitled to the ben
e6ts offered by the Federal Board
for Vocational Education. It's work
is so we'll started that more than
five hundred men have actually be-
gun their re-education.
The compensation allowed while
training equals the monthly sum
the soldier, sailor or marine is en-
titled to under the war risk insur-
ance law, or a monthly sum equal
to his pay for the last month he
was IN active service, if. that be
greater. In no casex will single
man or one required by his course
Of instruction to live apart from
his dependents receive less than
SOS month, exclusive of the sum
paid his dependents. A man liv-
ing with his dependents will not
receive less than SIS a month, in.
elusive Of the amount paid to the
family
Tuition, books and other equip
ment are all provided men taking
training courses approved BY the
Federal Board, which may range
from months shop training to
full four-year college course.
If a mans disability does not
prev ent him from returning to en-
ployment without retraining, and
he chooses to follow course of
vocational training provided by the
Federal Board, the course will be
furnished free of cost, and the COM
pensation provided by the war risk
insurance law will be paid him, but
no allowance is paid his family.
The Federal Board does not at
tempt to dictate to the soldier what
calling he shall follow. The great
est latitude of choice is allowed,
consistent with the soldiers capac-
ity and adapability, but of course,
the BOARD does seek to discourage
men from entering vocations al
