BANDIT OF RUSSIA
Is SURROUNDED BY
"REDS" AND KILLED

Tamboff, Russia.-Alexander An
tonoff, whom his followers copsid-
cred in the light Of reincarnated
Robin Hood, but whom the soviet
government classed as a Jesse
James, fought to the last when sur
rounded and killed by the state po-
lice at his hiding place in tiny vii
Ilagc near Tamboff late in June.
Antonoff once was in the old Rus
sian army. When the Bolsheviki
took power he opposed them and
gathering about him thousands OF
followers-fast horsemen from the
Steppes-he harrassed the Red
army in the south Of Russia for
several years.
Last September Antonoff's last
band was broken up by the Reds.
For months the state police sought
out his hiding place. Finally some
Of his former confederates were
promised amnesty and betrayed
him.
Early one June evening eight
men led by Policemen Pokulukin
came to the hut Of a peasant wo-
man, Marie Katosanova. whose
name will 60 down In the fantastic
legends surrounding the life Of An

woods near the river Verona, An

Road and Construction Call Takes
Up Farm Help Slack; Few
Skilled Mechanics Sought

The Illinois free employment bu-
reau placed SIG men and women in
August as compared to 564 placed
during the same month in 1921, ac-
cording to Fred W. Rinck, superin-
tendent. His report was issued to-
day.
There is not much of a demand
for farm laborers at the present
time, as the harvesting is almost
through and the farmers have fin
ished threshing, but a large demand
for workers for road and. c0nstruc-
ton work has eQualled the farm
labor decrease. There has been
little call for skilled mechanics
This is attributed to the strikes.
In the domestic department there
have been more calls for women
from the tri-cities, and vicinity
than the bureau was able to fill.
In Rock Island last month 81
building permits were issued rep.
resenting an estimated expenditure
of $198,377. Last year during thu

provide useful data for comparing
the new method Of making steam

There is much argument and heavy

to capture from Britain size and

out that she has shown her ouali-

OF GASOLINE IS
MUCH REDUCED
Shortage in Present Supply Said Ia
Be Due to Lack Of Movement
in Other Products.

Dallas Texas, Sept. 1.-The
shortage in the supply Of gasoline
and the prevailing prices Of that
commodity are the results Of lack
OF movement in other refined prod
ucts OF crude oil and not to any
attempt by producers to curtail
production, according to J. Edgar
Pew, former president of tAe Mid
Continent association.
Approximately twenty-five per-
cent of the crude oil refined in this
country is made into gasoline" Mr..
Pew declared. Gasoline, however,
owing to the industrial conditions,
is about the only product which has
been moving freely, the result
being a growing increase in all Of
the other products Of the refinery
and a greater burden to the re-
finer in carrying these.
IF the other products of the re-
finery-kerosene, gas oils. lubricat-
ing and fuel oils-were moving
more freely, greater production of
gasoline could be had but as re-
suit Of the slow movement of these
other products Of the produc-
ton of gasoline is limited and it
must carry the burden of the REIN
ing costs.
Contrary to general belief there
is no great over-supply Of gasoline
in stock; considering the greatly
increased demand there is not the
average supply per car as formerly.
From 1918 to 1922 there was an
average stock on hand per automo-
bile Of 87.2 gallons. In 1922 there
was an average stock Of 50 gallons.
How Price Is Made.
"Oil is produced in the lease stock
tanks and is run to the pipe line
from these tanks, not at any price
for which the producer may wish
to sell but at the price of the pur-
/ chasing agency quoted for that par
ticular day. The producer has no
option as to when he sells or the
price he shall receive. When his
tanks are filled he Must imme-
diately run the oil into the pipe
lines. When he does that his oil is
sold and at the price named by the
purchasing agency.
This may seem a one-sided
proposition, but, looking at the
transaction from the viewpoint OF
the purchasing agency, one must
find that the purchasing agency
must sell this oil and keep it NOV
| ing or provide storage for It. Il
has no control over the amount OF
oil that may be produced nor has
it any control over the general
business conditions of the country
which affect the price it receives"
At a meeting of producers al
Tulsa. Okla, on Aug. IL, Mr.. Pew
said it was decided the producers
for their own protection and the
| good of the industry, should stor
unnecessary drilling and build stor-
age tanks. A committee was ap-
pointed to devise a plan for coop
erative storing Of oil in the hope
that such q method would relieve
many Of the present disadvantages
of marketing.

0. KS TREATY CLAUSE
New Reservation in Pacific Pact
Debated in Senate.
President Harding Agrees TO Compro-
mise-EarIy Settlement Of Con-
troVersy Seen.

Washington, Feb. 27-The senate
foreign relations committee agreed TO
a final vote on the four-pOwer Pacific
treaty.
This action followed acceptance Of
q compromise reservation, aimed at
safeguarding American rights, by
President Harding. The agreement
resulted from a conference between
the President and Senator Brandegee,
Republican irreconcilable.
The new reservation Is intended as
substitute for the one offered by
Senator Brandegee and objected to
by the President.
The draft Of the reservation fol-
lows;
"The United States understands that
under the statement in the preamble,
or under the terms Of this treaty,
there is no commitment to armed
force or cor an alliance and no obliga,
ton to Join in any defense"
1t was first proposed the final ac-
ton on the treaty should be taken yes
terday, but Senator Johnson urged
that it be deferred until today.
The compromise reservation was re-
garded by administration senator's as
promising an early settlement Of the
controversy over the Pacific pact.
II was pointed out by them that the
reservation merely expressed what the
President and administration spokes-
men had contended all along, that the
treaty does not commit the United
States to employ armed force, or to
alliance or to an obligation to join in
defense of Pacific possessions.

A young man who practiced medicine
In Pennsylvania became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because Of his sue
cess in the treatment of disease, This
was DR.. Pierce, who finally made up
his mind to place some Of his medl-
cines before the public, and moving to
Buffalo, ~ Y, put up what he called
his "Favorite Prescription" and placed
1t with the druggists in every state.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
long been recognized as a tonic for dis
eases peculiar to womankind. After suf-
fering pain, feeling nervous, dizzy, weak
and dragged-down by weaknesses OF

women testify that DR.. Pierce's Favor
tie Prescription has entirely eradicated
their distressing ailments.
More recently that wonderful Gscov.
cry of Dir. Pierce's, called An-urlc (for
kidneys and backache), has been sue
cessfully used by many thousands who
write Or. Pierce Of the benefits re-
ceived-that their backache, rheuma-
tism, and other symptoms of uric acid
deposits in joints or muscles have been
completely conquered by its use.
