GILBERT ROSS COT
TIP AND FORGOT IT

Gilbert Ross. state bank examiner,
arrived in his office Yesterday after
noon and Immediately took up the
work of the secretaryship Of the new
finance board, that under the new
law, comes to his hands.
Like the rest of the people he is
wondering just how he escaped being
in the millionaire class as Divide
boomer. Ross Joined all former oooms
and has been paying for the expert
ence and being scorched on these
several occasions failed to grab at
the brand that was placed within
reach.
II happened that when George
Wingfield bought back into the d.
vide that Ross was with Cal Brougher
and Wingfield when they completed
the deal that has made them Doth
millionaires. He was called in as a
financial expert on securities, wit
messed the deal, saw the transfer ana
then forgot that the Divide was go
ing to be the big thing At that time
a few hundred dollars invested would
have placed him in a position where
he would have forgotten all about
banking for the other fellows.
Gilbert gets out of the boom with
out a share of Divide and was prob.
ablv the first man who had a real
knowledge that big affair had beeh
negotiated and that there was a
possibility of fortunes ahead. he is
still wondering why he didn't gran
at the hand of opportunity < arson

CONTRACT WITH

United States Housing Corpora
ton Signs Agreement to Pay
City for Privileges.

A final contract between the
city of Rock Island and the United
States Housing corporation was
entered into yesterday afternoon
in a resolution adopted by the city
commission.
The substance of the contract,
which has been In preparation for
over a week, is that the housing
corporation wifi pay to the city a
sum of money equal to what would
be assessed upon the property were
the land taxable.
Under the present rulings, the
property belonging to the corpora
ton is considered as United States
property and is therefore free from
direct taxation.

Similar contracts have been made
in other cities, and have for their
purpose means by which the gov

The contract will u,ean approx

ing and proper distribution of har-
vest hands.
81 have before me letter from
the editor of the Kansas City Star
predicting a shortage Of labor for
harvesting the enormous wheat
crop in Kansas and reciting the
fact that wages are five to seven
dollars a day including board and
lodging and that the working force
will move north with the harvest
to Nebraska, Minnesota and the
Dakotas and can find employment
afterwards in threshing so that
there will be steady employment
at least until ground freezes. He
estimates that no less than an army
of 100000 extra harvest hands are
needed this year.
AT this particular moment, in
view of the existing world short
age of food, in my opinion this
army of harvest hands is equally
as the army of occupa-
ton on the River Rhine. Consid-
ering the unemployment that ex-
lists, right now, in localities where
is thickly congested, it
is unthinkabIe that the federal
would withdraw its
from the United States
service which has the
capable of preventing
disaster during the emergency of
the next few months.
Surely those who seek to de-
stroy the effectiveness of the en-
service would not con-
tribute toward the destruction of
one single busheI of wheat and in
the light of these facts l cannot
help predict that congress will in
clude an ample appropriation in
the sundry civil bill for continuing
an effective service during the next
fiscal year.
I am presenting you with these
facts in the hope that they will
help correct some of the misappre-
tensions concerning the wisdom in
continuing the employment ser

SERVICE HELPED
SECURE 100000
TO GARNER CROP

Asserting that the successful
harvesting of the enormous wheat
crop in the middle west is largely
dependent upon an army of 200 900
extra harvest hands recruited, mo-
bilized and directed by the United
States employment service, sena-
tor Capper of Kansas addressed a
letter to Secretary of Labor Will
son deploring the persistent prop
uganda which seeks to destroy the
service and declaring that it is un-
thinkable that congress will not
include provision for ample funds
in the sundry civil bill for the con-
tinuation of the employment ser
vice during the coming fiscal year,
which begins July 1.
The letter reads as follows:
"I have observed with sincere re-
gret the persistent propaganda
which seeks to destroy the United
States employment service, the
only arm of the federal govern
ment in position to cope with the
dislocation of labor during the
present period of read1ustment-
"The farmers throughout the
great wheat belt and particularly
in Kansas, my own state, are
greatly dependent upon the fed

Dor. I have before me letters and

ers' organizations expressing in un-
thinkable terms that the success
