POLICEMEN GO ON
HUNTING TRIP TO
GET MEAT SUPPLY

Desk Sergeant Arthur Kinsley
and Station Officer Charles Miner
of the Rock Island police depart
ment went to the country today to
obtain their winters supply of
meat The two policemen are fol-
lowing their annual custom Of sup
plying themselves early in the fall
with a full larder.
They are after squirrels today.
Later they will supply themselves
with rabbits. Both like game. A
sure shot is their long suit, and
they declare that this is why they
confine all their activities to hunt
ing game and not playing games.
Both went armed with shotguns
that were guaranteed to shoot the
way they are pointed. To make
sure that they would not return
empty handed they were equipped
with devices, such as are used by
linemen in climbing telephone
poles. They announced that they
would bring back a large number
of squirrels if they were forced to
go up in the trees after them.

COOPERATION OF
CITIZENS ASKED
IN A CLEANUP

Commissioner Frank WITCH in
charge OF the department of streets
and public Improvements, asks that
the citizens of Rock Island coop
crate with the street department
in the coming fall cleanup of the
streets
One of the biggest aids will be
the removal of leaves by property
holders. The commissioner asks
that leaves be raked up and placed
in alleys or ON the rear OF lots and
burned. Warning is given that
leaves must not be burned on eth
er asphalt or brick pavement
The next few heavy frosts are
expected to strip the trees Of all
leaves, and the commissioner will
then start crews to work cleaning
the streets. This work costs the
city a large amount of money an
nually, much of which could be
saved, if the property holders would
cooperate fully with the city by
cleaning up around their own
premises.

FOURTH MAN Is
TAKEN IN THEFT
OF AUTOMOBILE
Especial Moline service-)

William Reader of Union Grove
township, Ill, was taken into Gus
tody by Chief of Police Ben De-
jaeger of Moline yesterday as the
fourth man implicated in the Dodge
automobile transaction which first
brought grief TO Walter Barchman
of Rock Island.
Barchman acted as guide on the
trip to Union Grove township. He
identified Reader and also Readers
farm as the place where he got the
automobile. Reader denied having
ever seen Barchman before, but
Barchman was able to show Chief
DeJaeger pieces of the dies that
were used when the engine number
of the car was changed and which
were thrown to the side of the road
leading from the farm.
Reader is being held at the Mo-
line police station. Dick Bush and
Harry Newman, held in connection
with the same case, are in the Rock
Island county Jail. The hearing has
been set for 9 Monday morning in
Moline police court.
Barchman was caught in Moline
while attempting to dispose of a
Dodge automobile stolen from John
Neuffer of Hillsdale. He implicated
Bush and Newman, who were later
arrested in Fulton, Ill. They are
accused of having stolen the car
and turning~it over to Barchman to
sell.

PRICE OF OILS
IS liked AGAIN
Ohio Company Announces Third
S5-Cent Raise IN Two Weeks
Further Boosts Expected.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct S-Onited
Press THE Ohio Oil company at
Lima today announced 70 cents a
barrel advance on Lima, Indiana;
Wooster, Illinois, Princeton. Ply
month and Waterloo oils, making
the third Is cent advance in two
weeks, adyices to local companies
stated
The same company raised Wyom-
ing oils Is and 20 cents
Pittsburgh oil companies operat-
ing in Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texas received word today that
Eldorado and Homer oils have been
raised to $3.50 a barrel; Caddo
light, $150; Cado heavy, $1.10, and
Gulf Coast, 81.
The great upturn in oil started
here two weeks ago when Pensyl-
vania crude was advanced rs cents
to $3.50. During most of last year
this grade was 500 a barrel, and
the great reduction last spring re-
suited in practical abandonment of
all field work in this territory. AS
the cost of drilling is not covered
by the present advances, operators
maintain further price apprecia-
ton is expected. 1t is generally
thought that Oklahoma oils viii go
to 81 and Pennsylvania to $4-
