SELLING STOCK
IN MILK PLANT


According to reports submitted to
p. r. Edgerton. farm advisor. to-
day, milk producers ON all >rural
routes in the county are succeeding
in interesting almost every farmer
in the new cooperative milk mar
keting company which has applied
for a charter and will soon be an
incorporated body with q $4,000
capitalization.

ing to the stock issue, which it Is
stated will net investors percent
The stock selling campaign is
on in full force and Rock Island
merchants will be asked to become
financially interested in the cor
poration and assist the farmers in
their undertaking.

the dairy marketing department OF
the Illinois Agricultural associa-
ton, is keeping in touch with the
situation over long distance tele-
phone, and is throwing the full sup
port of his department to the pro-

plish.

prospect of securing capable man

IL" Entrances Closed.
The elevated employees, who had
called a meeting for tonight to dis
ctss concerted action with the sur
face men, then held a separate
meeting, and, after members Of the
executive committee had charged
they had been "double-crossed" by
precipitate action by the surface

operate in the strike.
Early today carpenters went
over the elevated lines boarding up
the entrances to the stations. The
surface lines tunnels beneath the
Chicago river were also boarded up
and guards placed.
There was no statement from
company officials as to when an ef-
fort to resume traffic would be
made, but the Chicago Herald and
Examiner, in n copyrighted news
story, published today, said the
strike meant a war-to-the-finist
between the lines and the en-

RECOERED MONDAY
Drowned at Martins Mill the 21at.
Inquest Held By Judge r. S.
MeComb.

The body of William Rogers, the
negro construction hand with the
Carter Construction Company, sup
posed to have been drowned at the
time of our last issue, was recovered
Monday. Judge McComb had the mill
pond drained, and when this had been
done the body was found in about
five feet Of water near the point
where his clothing had been located.
Deputy Sheriff Prince assisted Judge
McComb in locating the body, and
summoned the jury for an inquest.
The body was examined by DR..
Knox, of Antreville, who found
death to have resulted from drown
ing, as had been supposed, and a
verdict according was rendered.
The negro was half witted, it Is
said, and was accustomed to 60 into
the creek in the winter time for the
purpose of bathing. It is supposed
that he got into water over his depth
and for some reason was not able
to swim to shore. Suspicion that he
was drowned arose Thursday before
Christmas when his clothing was
found on the bank of the river at
the mill pond. He disappeared We'd
