DIRT HAULED TO GARY
TO COVER NATIVE SAND


Gary, Ind. Aug. 6-"Dirt cheap"
has long lost its meaning in Gary,
where the cost of covering the
native sand with soil is estimated
to date at 100000. When home
building started in Gary around
1906 and 1907, the cactus flourish
ed. 1t has taken a mountain of
dirt to drown out the sand and to
make the parks, lawns and occa-
sional gardens OF today's city,
Approximately 100000 cubic
yards of earth have been brought
in here, according to recent esti-
mates. Lowlands adjacent to the
city have contributed generously
but for years it has been necessary
to cross the Illinois state Nine to
bring in dirt by rail from Joliet
and Plainfield.
The price of dirt Is an item
seriously considered by the pros
pective home builder here. Black
loan has risen to 50 a cubic yard
and the average cost of surfacing
a lot is around $500.
Sometimes a poor batch Of ma

FARLEY HELD At
WHITE HOUSE ON
POLISH PROBLEM

ny MOANING JOURNAL ssEcIhl LEASED wIaEl
Washington, Aug. 6.-Secretary
Colby and Under Secretary Davis,
of the state department, had a long
conference today with President
Wilson at the White House. It was
understood that the Polish situa-
ton was discussed.
Inadequate transportation facili-
ties and the long distances between
the munitions depots in Russia
were regarded by army officials
here as offsetting in part the full
military value of these abundant
munitions reserves.
Besides the material taken over
from the old Russian government,
the bolsheviki have captured large
supplies from General Denikine,
Admiral Kolchak and from the
Poles.
Among the supplies said by
army officers here to have been
identified as part of the bolsheviki
stock are large quantities of am
munition of German make dated
March. 1913; new Japanese rifles:
Browning automatic rifles captured
from Kolchak. and Russian rifles
bearing the armcry dates of 1914,
1915, 1916 and 1919 from the Tula
factories.

Toxic, Aug. 6.-The gravity or
the food situation in Europe finds
its echo in Japan, where the prob
lem of how TO feed the population,
which is increasing annually by
600, 600, is becoming yearly more
pressing.
Japan has ample living space for
it's people but cannot produce
enough food for them, especially
rice. Every bit of land is cultivated
to the limit of its capacity. The
land of Formosa, the island colony
is worked TO its full capacity by
the two million Chinese farmers
who cultivate the rice feds with
great skill. In Korea, also, the
grain harvest is considerable,
though the failure of the Koreans
to use fertilizer prevents greater
harvests.
To meet the food menace Japan,
by a special arrangement with
France, is making heavy rice i'm
ports from Indo-China. This is a
costly operation, however. the Jap
anese government losing $4,000,
900 a year in supplying lrdo-China
rice to the japanese peop-e at
moderate prices.
A solution to which the govern
ment is turning its attention IS that
of inducing the people to eat less
rice and more wheat because OF the
great wheat fields of Manchuria
which would be ample as 1000
supply, If the people would eat
wheat. The enormous output OF
Manchuria is handled by the south
Manchuria railway which at the
same time transports yearly some
400 200 Chinese coolies from Shan
tnng province to Manchuria, where
they labor in the rice lands OF the
northern province. Siberia, in the
great belt extending south from
Irkutsk and Omsk, is a wonderful
grain field, if regularly cultivated,
capable of helping the solution OIL

COUNT Of SEALS
BEING MADE BY
FEDERAL BOARD

Washington, Aug. 6.-The an
nual census of seals. now being
taken by the bureau Of fisheries, is
expected to show about 100000 Of
the animals, or three times as
many as when the government UNI
dertoek the custody of them a half
score years ago.
Although the seal spends much
of its life at sea, its habits make
the taking comparatively
easy. Hugh NJ. Smith, commission
er of the bureau of fisheries, ex-
plains the count of noses" Is of
Importance 10 prevent blind kill
ing of the animals Tor their furs,
possibly resulting in their extinc-
ton.
Under present government con-
troll, Mr.. Smith asserts that the
seals are increasing about 10 or II
per cent of their number annually.
Last years count showed $4,000,
of which 10000 were killed for
their pelts.
In the middle of Bering sea, ly-
ing forty miles apart, are two is
lands-St. George and st. Paul
the only land to which the seals
ever resort. Every spring they visit
the islands to raise their young,
leaving in the fall to winter in the
north Pacific and it is during the
summer that the census is taken.
The killing of the animals is also
done in the summer. this under law
being confined to the surplus
males. Last year lack of labor re-
suited in 10000 fewer animals be-
ing killed than government offi-
eials had planned. Japan ana
Great Britain, along with the Unit
ed States, share the revenue pro-
duced from the sea-kin, a treaty
giving this county 10 per cent OF
the animals, with the other two
countries each receiving 10 per
cent.
.In the old days" says Mr..
smith, when 100000 seals were
being killed annually the govern
ment obtained $40 per skin. while
now we are getting s14O, when
nets us about $120 per skin. In
crease in the value of furs and the
different method of conducting the
business explains this.
Besides the sale of pelts, the
government is operating g fertil-
izer plant on the islands for as
posing of the carcasses, from
which there is also extracted an
oil used for dressing tops OF auto
mobiles.

Il have today received your tele,

There is one statement of your

Mr. Wilson declares to be the heart

Quoted for F. Wilhelm Morahn, an

der Of his father, August H. Morahn
of Verdel, Neb. Morahn's home
was destroyed by dynamite.
The vigilance committee at Yer
del has offered a reward of $500 for
the capture of "the party who caused
the murder" of Mr.. Morahn.
Suspicion of the entire commun-

whose home the aged man lived, has
been directed unanimously against
the missing Morahn, according to
Charles Pipkin, privatealetective.
Visited His Father.
Further investigation into the case,
disclosed that eight days before the
murder, the son went to his fathers
home and threatened to shoot him
because of disagreement over 4U
acres of land in Minnesota.
When the aged mans son-in-law
and daughter appeared on the scene,
the younger Morahn left.
Familiar With Dynamite.
The theory that son murdered
father is strengthened by the fact
that the missing Morahn was famil-
lar with the uses of dynamite, hav-
ing worked in stone quarries.
A boat belonging to the murdered
man was found the day following
the tragedy near spot on the Mo-
brara river where dynamite had been
used in excavation work.
