Like Achilles, Jerome Euell. COL
ored. 80 years old. of 6o4 K street

for his right heel, and again like
Achilles, it was that small portion

leaped headlong from the window
but his flight wasinterrupted when
Patrolman Lenwood Jenkins grasped
his right heel and hauled him back
into the room.
The modern Achilles was arrested
on a charge of robbery. The other

SAYS ATTEMPT
MADE TO HURT
farm BUREAU


County Agent p. r. Edgefton is
conducting an investigation Of re-
posts given publicity ON Monday Of
this week concerning an outbreak
Of hog cholera on the farms Of Ell
mer Reed and Harry Banner near
IIlinoisstCity, with . view Of deter
mining the person or persons re-
sponsible for connecting the farm
bureau Office with the work of COM
batting and checking the spread OF
the disease. Mr.. Edgerton oonsid-
e. the report, which he terms false
a deliberate attempt 70 discredit
the effectiveness OF the farm bu-
reau in fighting disease among
livestock.
The news article originated in
Illinois City. 1t stated that many
hogs had succumbed to the cholers
and that there was danger Of an
epidemic. 1t went on to state that
Mr.. Edgerton had provided serum
fof vaccination purposes to the
owners whose livestock was en-
dangered, and further, was giving
his personal attention to checking
the disease.
"The fact of the matter is, Meth
er Reed nor Banner are members
Of the farm bureau, and therefore
would not be entitled to receive
oerum from this Office. nor my as.
sistance," states Mr.. Edgerton. "I
all cases where livestock Of bureau
members requires attention, we fur
nish the serum for vaccination a,
cost and provide instructions fol
its use. In these instances we are
always willing to shoulder the re-
sponsibility for the results, but We
do object to beiNg connected with
cases in which we have absolutely
no connection. l want the public
as we'll as all members Of the far1
bureau, to understand this Office
has had nothing to do with thu
cholera reported on the Reed ant
banner farms"

States Attorney Benjamin s.
Bell told the defendant that he
was convinced that he had been
hedging with Woodyatt to keep
from returning the money. How
ever, he said that a. there was not
enough evidence on which to hold
him to the grand jury little could
be done at this time. but that un-
less 80 was paid back to Wood
yatt the case would be brought to
the atteption Of the grand Jury in
May.
Sponey denied that he had been
overpaid SO, and would advance
little in the way of further de-
Tense. He said that he could not
pay the $40 back. as he had only
nine cents. and had been supported
by his wife since December, when
he was thrown out OF work.
Magistrate Cleland told the man
that, although evidence was not
complete, he was convinced that he
was guilty. He said that the only
thing that could be done at tkiS
time was to dismiss the case and
that Sponey should take steps to
raise the money to pay Woodyatt,
and in case he did not the grand
jury would be asked to investigate
further in the case.

APPROVE MILK
J PLANT ASAID
TOPR0DOCERS


Organization OF a cooperative
milk distributing plant among. the
farmers OF Rock Island county
particularly in the section contrib.
utary to Rock Island, is gaining in
rapid favor, judging by the se1ti'
ment expressed At the community
meetings under the auspices of thu
farm bureau. At Pleasant Ridg'
yesterday 100 members Of the bu
reau indicated approval Of the prop
osition. They met in an all day SEES
sion at the school house.
Last night at. the Black Hawl
school house another meeting wa
held, at which the question was in
troducd for discussion. Sentimen
again was expressed greatly in IA
vor OF the proposal.
The object Of such an organiza
etion is to establish a ~entral distri
button planZ in Rock Island to which
the milk can be brought and thea
be delivered to retailers. Thi,
would tend to give the producer I
greater return for his product thai
ID realized through sale to the mid
dleman.
AT yesterdays meetings a dem
lonstration of the methods for ger
mination Of diseased seed corn wa
conducted BY County Agent Edger
laon. The women were addressed a
Pleasant Ridge by Miss Mary Pack
expert from the home extension de
partment Of the University of Hi
nois. Her topic was home bureau
work.
The day meeting has proved tn
most popular method Of conductin,
the community gatherings, and &C
cordingly the next one schedules
for Wednesday at Hillsdale will b.
held during the daylight hours
This attaches less inconvenience t,
the farmers in attending, nigh
travel being difficult on account o
