Chicago Situation
Is Declared Acute
Lack Of Cars and Coal
May Cause Industrial
ShutdOU1, in Ten Days
From a Special Correspondent

CHICAGO, May s.-The shipping sit
uaton is becoming more acute each
day in Chicago. The strike of railroad
switchmen has throttled the smaller
manufacturers; lack of coal has i'm
perilled the gas and elevated railway
companies; the packers say prices can
not go down with such a situation
existing. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars arc being lost each day. Men
are being laid off
which the railroads insist is a dead
issue. is the announcement TO-DAY of
the Illinois Manufacturers Association
that within ten days "A wheel will not
turn unless something is done, and
done at once"
Freight is piled high at the depots
of the belt lines around the city. These
lines cannot set men. while the larger
roads are receiving the cooperation of
the manufacturers along their lines.
The latter are "lending" their help to
the railroads.
Thus, the larger manufacturers are
able to keep their heads above water.
But they cannot get coal. There is a
cry for coal everywhere. It is tbis
which caused the two public utilities to
render their report to the commission
The gas company has prophesied an

Bonus Is Reduced
For Home Service
In Substitute Bill
House Committee Also Cuts
Sales Tax Clause; Total
Cost of Old Measure
Is Shaved S4OO. 100000

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Republican
members Of the House Ways and Means
Committee agreed to-day to offer a
substitute. for the soldier bonus bill
with the proposal for a ! per cent tax
on sales eliminated Other tax pro-
visions would be extended over three
years under the agreement.
Under the new bill CONDENSATION for
home service is reduced from $125 to
81 for each day Of service, while pay
ments for foreign service remain at
S1.25 a day. Payments would be made
for service from April 6. 1917, to July !.
1919. under the new bill.
Payments Of the cash bonus would
begin April !, 1921, and be continued
in twelve quarterly installments. The
four options for the cash bonus, which
include home or farm aid, paid-up in
surance and tuition Tor education.
would have no percentage increase in
value over the cash bonus. Under the
old measure the value would be deter
mined on basis Of S1.75 a day for each
day of service
The plan OF reclamation OF land so
as to provide farms was changed to
eliminate the $1.00' loan and also to
reduce the auth orization for carrying
out the scheme from S3OO00o,0o0 to
S250,00O,OOO
The Republicans estimated that ap-
proxlmatelE $400,000,0O0 in the cost Of
the original measure has been elimi-
mated and that the relnodeled bill would
call for total expenditure of 81 400. :
100000. Taxes levied would became
effective next December and would in
cludc increases in incomes, tobacco
and real estate sales and new lew

may be of the same species or of a
different species. A succession of
radishes may be grown on the same
ground by reseedlng parts of the row
as fast as the radishes are used. Let
tuce may be grown in the same way.
In the southern part of the state an
early crop of potatoes may be follow
ed by a potato crop for winter. Seed
from the first crop may be used to
plant the second. Early sweet corn
may be followed by winter cabbage
or celery set in early July or by tur-
nips soWn broadcast the last OF July.
Beets, particularly in this climate, be-
come woody with age and lose their
crispness and sweet flavor. Those to
be started for winter should not be
planted earlier than the first of Jnly.
Carrots are a delicious garden vege-
table when young. One reason why
they are not more often grown for
winter storage is because they are
usually planted in early spring, and by
autumn they become so woody as to
be unpalatable. Carrots for keeping
over winter should be started in July.
Where good tillage is given, the
ground following an early crop Will
be in the best possible condition for
a second crop. The early crop shades
the ground keeping it mellow; it's
permeating roots fit the soil for the
roofing of the following crop; tillage
of the former crop conserves noisture
and kills weeds; the second crop re-
quires less labor than the first or. in
other words, part of the benefits of
tillage given the first cropis bestowed
upon the second, On poor soils
where single crop uses most of the
available plant food, the foregoing
statements may not hold fully true.
On rich soils they are to be emphazied.
Succession cropping can be made
much more effective if a hot bed or
cold frame is available in which to
start a supply of plants to set in the
garden whenever space is made avail
