Experts who have been studying
the shortage of eggs estimate that
there are 1S0,000,000 fewer hens in
the world now than there We're just

because Of the shortage this country
is able to buy only 10000 to $4,000
tons.

What do the farmers themselves say
about the use of fertilizers? Certainly
no one is more qualified to speak as
to their value than they. This ques-
ton has been asked of a great many
farmers in the Southeast and their
answers are most eplightening.

the most representative farmers liv-
ing in the states of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia To these
were sent a questionable asking for
information as to the yields obtained
from cotton and corn, and the formula
and amount Of fertilizer used. They
were also asked to give the sOil-type.
Several hundred answers were receiV-
ed and these have been carefully clas
sified according to crop yields.

SUGAR SHORTAGE THREATENED.
Head of Sugar Board Says Still
Chance to Buy Cuban Crop.

Washington, Oct 3.-Told by
George A. Zabriskie, president Of the
sugar equalization board, it was prac-
tically certain that unless some leg!s-
lative action was taken Immediately
sugar prices would increase after
January |. the Senate committee in
vestigating the sugar shortage today
requested w. A. Glasgow, counsel for
the food administration, to formulate
legislation designed to alleviate the
situation and to make possible nego-
tiations for purchasing the 1920 Gu
ban sugar crop.
The committee made it's request
after Mr.. Zabriskie had testified that,
despite urging by the sugar equaliza-
ton board, President Wilson had fail
ed to authorize purchase of the Cuban
crop, after he, at Chairman McNary's S
insistence, had presented his corre-
.pondence with the President. Tna
Cuban government withdrew it's offer
of the sugar crop September %, Ia
briskie said. He added, however, that
means might yet be found to obtain
the Cuban sugar if legislative action
could be had Immediately. It would
be necessary also, he said, to make
provision for continuation of the su-
gar equalization board, which auto
matically goes out of existence De-
cember 81.

Little Jimmy was fond of giving
realistic touches to his reading les
son. He had been corrected repeated
ly by his teacher for adding matter
that was not in the book.
The lesson. was about pigs one day.
Jimmy read the concluding sentences:
"And the little pig said, "Wee, wee,
wee, wee, wee, wee,-." Just then
teacher interrupted him.
Jimmy, read that last sentence
again. Can't you see that in the book
there are only two 'wee's'?"
Jimmy looked up defiantly.

American lads wanted them to make
silver rings. The coin is slightly
smaller than our fifty cent piece. By
beating them down with hammer
they may be fashioned into very
beautiful ring. Thousands, perhaps
hundreds of thousands of these coins
were made into rings and sent home
and brought home by the American
soldiers.
Indeed the supply of French two
franc pieces disappeared at such a
rapid rate because of their conversion
into rings that the problem was one
which caused much embarrassment to
the French government, which seri-
ously considered the idea of discon-
tinuing minting any more of the
coins. .
German prisoners made big money
fashioning toys, etc., out OF bits OF
wood and iron which they sold to tn.
American souvenir fiends.
I know an American second lieu
tenant who purchased German pis-
tol from an American soldier who
found it on a battlefield. The lieu
tenant paid 500 francs for the weap-
on and he told me that he would
gladly have paid twice that sum to
obtain it.
Many American soldiers brought
back pictures and jewelry, etc., to
their girl friends The articles-most
of them would sell in France and
Germany in times of peace for a few
francs, yet the purchasers paid many
times that price-old rule of supply
and demand, you know.
All Kind Of Prices.
There was no uniformity of price
for these souvenirs. This French
tradesman had beautiful bead hand
bag for which he received fifty francs
from an American officer. The mer-
chant next door perhaps, had one
indetically like it which he offers for
forty francs and third merchant
down the street has one for which he
asks 100 francs, despite the fact that
it is just like the others.
Oh, it didn't take the average Frog
more than three shakes of a Sleeps
tail to get on to the fact that the
average American doughboy over
there had absolutely no regard for
money and that it was simply mat
ter of relieving them of it, as best
they might. And they did. I'll say
they did!
But in conclusion, I am going to
put some of the girls wise to thing
or two. When some ex-buck private
orlieut. handsyoua line of talk about
his personal heroic stuff and pro-
duces bunch of buttons or German
pipe or pistol or cigarette case OF
something else in proof of his state
ment that he captured it from some
Jerry in hand to hand combat, you
just ask him right easy like how many
francs he paid for the souvenir and
in what French town or village ne
| bought it.
You see have been over there and
I happen to be on the inside of a. lot
of this kind of stuff. Maybe [ have
| handed this line of talk to girl OF
| two myself. I am not saying about
| that. however.-Lewis NJ. Grist ir

SYMPHONY SEATS
WILL BE ISSUED
FIRST OF MONTH

Relative to tickets for the Tri-
City Symphony orchestra concerts
a member of the board of director2
asks that the following communi-
cation be given publicity:
mo tickets have yet been issued
for the Symphony concerts, and
will not be until the first week in
November. An unfortunate misun-
derstanding exists in some quar-
ters because tickets for the cham
Der concerts at the Hotel Black
hawk, Davenport, are now being
sold. These chamber concerts are
a private enterprise. and although
desirable and artistic. have no con-
nection with the board of directors
OF the Symphony orchestra. The
very first effort in Illinois to give
full symphony orchestra concerts
to the public at a low price, is TO
be attempted this season. Five
concerts for 81, or so cents single
admission. This can be a success
only with the cooperation of all.
Therefore, although the chamber
concerts at the Hotel Blackhawk,
given by four musicians, have their
own place in the local musical
life, they are not to be confused
with the big endeavor to give the
best we have in music, our full
symphony orchestra, 10 all the
people at aprice which all can
pay"

The former offer OF S42,190,
made by DR.. A. H. Kalman of Rock

berg of Davenport was rejected by
the representative of the govern
ment at Washington, in the belief
that the property was worth mater
tally more. The corporation read
vertised for bids, which were re-
ceived up to noon today.
The tract covers 20 acres near
the Telegraph road in Davenport.
The water and sewer drains are
laid, and some of the houses are al

TRESPASSED WHEN
SAW SQUIRREL IN
YARD BY HIGHWAY

L. Baird paid So and costs in
police court this morning for tres
pass. He hunted for game unsuc-
cessfully yesterday morning in
South Rock Island, and toward
noon started home. He had occa-
sion to pass the property of ". q.
Luken on the Rock River road.
Upon glancing into the yard he
saw a full grown squirrel run up
a tree. Immediately his hunting
instincts got the best of his knowi
edge of the law. He thought only
of killing the squirrel. Through the
gate and into the yard he went, got
a good bead on the animal and
blazed away, the first shot doing
the work. Luken resented the tres
pass-whether it was a pet SPUR
rel OF one that looked good to the
owner is unknown-however, he
had Baird hailed into court with
the foregoing results.

REVENUE HEAD
HOLDS CLASS
FOR DEPUTIES
Outline for Campaign Against Vio-
latOrS of Dry Law Given at
Meeting Hero Today.

C. c. korsman, head of the in
ternal revenue offices in Chicago,
arrived in Rock Island to conduct
the school for the deputies that
have been called in from over the
district to carry on the campaign
against booze dealers who are OPP
Grating without a government
license
The deputies. met this morning
at the internal revenue Office in the
postofice building and were given
instructions as to the plans of OPP
erations and what power by law
that was impended to them.
This drive is for booze dealers
only and a thorough search for
these violators is ordered by the
government throughout the eoun-
try.
It's risky business trying to sell
liquor either with or without a
government license. If sold with
out a license the revenue men take
action, then after the permit is is
sued the department of justice gets
busy.

POST TO PLANT
Tree MEMORIAL
FOR ROOSEVELT
The Matter Is Introduced at Meet
ing Last Night Of the Civil
War Veterans.

Topic Of discussion introduced at
the meeting of John Buford post.
G. A. R., last night, was the Ques-
ton of a memorial tree for Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the tree to be plant
ed on the court house square.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the Civil War Veterans
by Comrade W. NJ Mitchell, who
suggested that a hard maple tree
would be a most fitting tribute to
the memory of the great American.
1t would be the only tree of this
species on the square. Others ex-
pressed themselves in favor of an
elm.
Considered Proper.
1t was considered fitting and
proper that this kind of memorial
be adopted by the post. At the
next meeting plans will probably
be definitely accepted.
