cius P. Wilson Of the American City
bureau, the chairan brought up
the business OF the meeting by
naming the three propositions to
be placed before the body:
l. Reorganization with In
creased dues and continuation as
at present.
2. Complete separation Of the
Rock Island club and the Chamber
of Commerce.
3. Dissolution and liquidation Of
the club and property.
M E. Strieter made the original
motion. that the first proposition be
adopted. This motion was enthu-
siastically seconded, but not car
ried in that form.
Major Walter A. Rosenheld was
called upon to explain the results
Of his QUESTIONABLE, submitted to
800 business men several weeks ago
by him as president of the Rock
Island Rotary club. He said that
out Of 500 notices sent out, only
I about one hundred were answered
and returned.
Need Spirit and . Hotel.
He read extracts from these an
swers practically all Of which
were to the effect that Rock Island
needs more cooperative spirit, bet
ter understanding, unity Of pu:-
pose, a spirit of determination and
get-together. They also agreed
that the needs Of the city are a
new and up-to-date hotel. more
dwellings and apartment houses, TO-
gether with industrial develop
ments.
Simon Mosenfelder opened the
general discussion, stating. There
is nothing the matter with Rock
Island. The only thing wanted is
mutual good feeling and a spirit of
pull together
Must Raise Dues.
Hugh E. Curtis followed with
common-sense talk On the needs Of
the organization. As a member of
the board of directors for many
years, he said that he was in a
position to speak regarding the
financial condition of the bodies.
He said that they could not be
continued, jointly or separately,
without a raise in the dues. He
had given his full share cheerfully
in the past, he stated, and was
ready to pay more, from the pres
ent dues of SIS, to $50, if necessary,
to see the organization continue.
1t was then that the remarks OF
! Mr.. Sexton resulted in the contro-
versy of the evening.
Address by Wilson.
The feature of the program was
the talk by Lucius P. Wilson, who
addressed the club in place of his
brother, Samuel Wilson, the pre-
viously announced speaker Of the
evening. 1t was feared that the
virtue of his address was lost
sight of in the somewhat animated
exchange of views which followed.
The keynote of his address WAS
that the principle of service should
dictate the conduct of the individ-
ual and the community. II the
worth of such course is not ad-
mitted. the alternative is a doc
trine of sheer unalloyed selfish
ness. Such course" he said,
"you do not dare adopt"
The merchant CT the present sue
ceeds because the world clamors
for his goods; the workman draws
his high wages. not from his indi-
vidual excellences but because of
the industrial situation; the manu-
facturer draws On national pros
perity for his gain. Each and all
owe the bulk of their prosperity
to these conditions from which
they reap the bounty.
Owe Returns to Age.
They owe the day and age in
which they live an amazing re-
turn. This is the problem before
the Chamber Of Commerce. 1t
should be the definitely accepted

BARBECUE AND FREE LUNCH
FOR LAND PURCHASERS

At Lewiston Orchards, October 9,
1920.
The Fred B. Grinnell Company
who are conducting the Bondholders
Sacrifice Sale of the remaining acre
age in Lewiston Orchards, have an
nounced barbecue and free lunch at
noon at the West End Packing House.
where the sale of tracts will begin
promptly at 1870 P. M.
From the interest already shown
it is certain there will be one of the
greatest crowds ever gathered in
Lewiston on that day. The residents
in the surrounding territory realize
that this is an exceptional chance 70
get one of these tracts at a very low
price. The unusual school facilities
at Lewiston also appeal very strongly
to them
Applications to date are more nu-
merous from the outside towns than
from Lewiston itself, coming from
Nez Perce, Culdesac, Slickapoo, Ana
tone, Moscow, etc. Inquiries have

time that American warShips have
used a moving craft for target ex
cept in actual war
Two of the IoWa'S coal-burning boil
ers are being converted TO burn oil so
the ship may continue under way with
no one aboard once its fires have been
started burning and its engines placed
in motion.
1t is expected that the unique prac-
tice will give the gun pointers of the
Atlantic feet an opportunity to test
their ability under conditions as nearly
like those TO be expected in battle as
can be obtained. Smoke screens will
be thrown around the Iowa during the
runs and the course will be changed
at will through the radio control sys-
tenn, necessitating a change in range
on all the firing ships, exactly as would
occur in action.
The Iowa has already been stripped
of some of its guns and much valuable
metal and the practice will be contin-
ued until the old vessel, mass of
twisted metal, sinks beneath the waves
to join the old Texas, which, as the
San Marcos, was used as a stationary
target years ago.
The battleship Ohio has been turned
over to the bureau of steam engineer

Saturday will be busy day, as a
great many from the outside are
planning to make their selections at
that time. According to the terms
of the sale nothing will be sold until
80 P. M. and the man who selects
his peace Saturday will stand just as
good chance as any other applicant.
Sale will be held regardless of
weather conditions. If it is nice

To Offset the danger of navel infec-
ton in foals (Which causes a disease
known as joint-ill), the navel cord
should be washed several times a day
by holding up around the cord a large
necked bottle which has been nearly
filled with a l to 1000 solution of cor
rosive sublimate (bichlorid of mer-
cury). or by saturating the stump with
full-strength tincture of iodin. Then
dust 1t with powdered slaked lime.
This should be repeated each day until
the navel cord drops off. In case the
navel does not dry properly or shows
inflammation, a veterinarian should be
called. Mares are inclined to be peev-
ish or cross when with their young,
consequently 1t is advisable to per-
form the foregoing precautions as
speedily as possible. and then leave
the stable so that the mare and foal
can rest without being disturbed.

NECESSARY CARE FOR FOALs
As Soon as Young Animal Gains
Strength Enough to Be on His
Feet Let Him Nurse.

Foals should nurse after they gain
strength enough to get on their feet
and walk around In the case of weak
or very archaeological foals 1t may be
necessary to assist them in getting the
teat, but often an effort is made to
force them to nurse before they are
ready. Nature takes its own time on
such occasions, and hurrying and bus
Ting may do more harm than good.
Before the foal nurses wash the mares
udder with a warm 2 per cent solution
or a good coal-tar disinfectant and
then rinse with warm water. The first
milk which comes from the mare Is
known as colostrum and acts as a
physic on the foal, causing the focal
matter in the intestines to be dis
charged; hence the folly of milking
the mare before the foal comes merely
because there appears TO be too much
milk in the udder. If the contents of
the bowels are not elected naturally
within twenty-four hours, two to four
tablespoonfuls of castor oil shaken In
milk should be given, and it also nay
be advisable to inject warm water or
W ounces of castor oil into the bow
els. Repeat this treatment every three
or four hours until the bowels move.

Takashi Hara, premier of Japan /;
Baron Shidehara, Japanese ambassa-
dor to the United States, and Roland
Morris, American ambassador to
Japan, all are hopeful. even conf
dent, that a better understanding be-
tween the two nations will soon be
brought about and that international
relations are in M grave danger of be-
ing oyerstrained. Marquis Okuma,
former premier. is by no means so OPP
timistic since the Californians in
dorsed their anti-alien land law. In
an address before a general meeting
of the Japanese Immigration assocla-
ton last week In Tokyo, Okuma said:
1T is strange how cool the japanese
r towards a problem deciding the
fate of their brothers In America"
The anti-Japanese movement In the
United States, he asserted, e%ndangers
relations not only between Nippon and
America, but also between Japan and
other powers.
Germany" he said. was reduced
from leadership among nations be-
cause she ignored the principles of JUS
tice and humanity, and now America,
ignoring them, is setting an example
that Canada and Australia will prob
ably follow.
Must we, one Of the five great
powers, remain silent when others act
inhumanely and unjustly towards our
nationals? That is not the way the
welfare of humanity is promoted"
Premier Hara regards the Califor-
MIA agitation as sectional and not rep
resenting the country at large, and be-
lieves hat II the thinking people In
both countries are careful o to let
the agitation go to extremes, sound
judgment eventually will prevail and
the matter will be satisfactorily ad-
1usted.
Undoubtedly 1t will be left to the
new administration and the new sem
ate TO make the adjustment, which
may take the form OF n new treaty.
The plan favored by Japan Is that
Japan shall undertake to prevent fur
Their Japanese migration to the United
States and that our government shall
undertake to safeguard the property
rights OF the Japanese already In the
country. Tokyo would prefer to have

The Walsh congressional committee
which for more than n year has been
investigating the operations of the
shipping board and its Emergency
Fleet corporation stirred up a hornets
nest last week when 1t published the
report of A. NJ. Fisher and ]. e. Rich.
ardson, who had conducted Inquiries
for the committee. This makes broad
charges of corruption of officials and
employees of the corporation, graft In
purchasing supplies for and In repair
ing government-owned merchant ships
and the use of political and other in
fiuence in obtaining construction con-
tracts and the ALLEGATION of vessels to
operating companies. The board Is
accused of gross waste Of the govern
ment funds and of failure in co-opera-
ton. In his testimony before the com
mittee, however, Mr.. Richardson said
his report did not purport to fix any
Illegal act on any person. Charles
Piez, director general of the corpora
tion during the war, before being
called before the committee entered a
general denial of the charges Of cGr-
ruptlon and graft. Commander A. B.
Clement, executive assistant to Admi-
raj Benson, chairman of the board,
told the committee the only real
ground for criticism of the boards nd
ministration was the lack of perfect
coordination between the different
departments. Representative Walsh
said Admiral Benson probably would
be called ON to testify. There was
considerable criticism of the commit
tee for making public, for the second
time, charges against the shipping
board without first giving the organi-
cation n chance to defend itself.

Developments in the Better SIres-

ture:

These figures represent conditions
on more than two thousand farms I'm
various parts of the country, and are
believed to be typical Of other farms.
They show the Importance of placing
stress on quality in sires. since in
practically all cases a sire is the par
ent of a very much larger number
of offspring than the average female
animal.
