very interesting recent geologi-
cal discovery, 25 miles out from Wins
low and three miles north of Joseph
City is reported. 1t was made by
Lloyd Westover, son of Edward West
over, who saw some strange looking
rocks and picked them up, and upon
examination he found them to be fos-
sils. He took them home and when
one who knew what they were saw

St Johns and some of the skeletons
have been dug up by an excavating

And what is an icthyosaurus? He
was just big water lizard, often
Ghirty feet in length that lived on the
earth in the mesOzOic period of the
worlds history, millions of years ago.
He was a companion animal of the
giant dinosaur-a still larger lizard
that often was go or 70 feet long, the
largest animal that ever lived on land.
The dinosaur was land lizard, his
cousin the icthyosaurus was water
lizard The dinosaur had feet-some
Speices two and some speices four, |
while his cousin of the water had four |

mails lived on plants and some lived on

generally lived on fish and in pursuit !

LANDLORDS TO
RAISE RENTS
ON MAY FIRST
No Reasonable Excuse
For Increases

A general and exorbitant in
crease in rents is reported as going
into effect May first of this year.
The DAILY WORKER has collected
much evidence Of this renewed ac-
tivity of the Chicago rent-hogs,
which we are printing below. and
we print also the names of the land
lords and agents who are boosting
the rents, for no reasonable cause:
j. A. Strobhart of 5337 Indiana
avenue, who when he moved in was
paying SAP per month rent, has
had his rent increased to $85 be-
ginning May first. His landlords
name is Camp, a Negro real estate
man located on 43rd street, who is
profteering on his race.
Uncalled For Increases.
Mr.. C. L Fleming, 1880 E. 41st
Place, whose landlady is Mrs. Rose
Burnett, will have to pay $40
more a month beginning Nav first.
Simon ]. Williams Of 5245 In
diana avenue. and Walter Smith, in
the same building, report .hat their
rent is being increased on May first
from $40 to sos an increase
Of $25 per month. The owners
of this house are Ellis and Charles
Dean, and the agent is Clarence
Corbin, another interruptions gang
profiteering on the Negro race.
Mrs. Robert Lewis, 1927 Ellis
avenue, has had her rent increased
from $40 to $50 a month beginning
May first. The agent for the prop
erty is H. c. Dean, located on 53rd
street.
The fifteen fiat building at s01-11
Bradley Place, near Grace and Hal
sted streets, has had its rent
doubled in all fifteen flats since
May, 1918, when the rent was
$28 per month. This spring the
rent is being increased from S55
to $40 per month. The landlord
Of this building is John Z. Blewis,
and his agent is George Yappes.
Why the Increase?
Eugene Seelenbach. 2t5 f. On
tario street HAS HAD HIS RENT
INCREASED FROM 500 TO $175 per
month. His landlord is w. d. Sawyer
$50 N. Water Street.
| Constantine Morris, 1921 w.
Adams street, reports his rent will
be raised on May first from S4s.50
to 500. This building is very old
and the present tenant has been
there for thirteen years. The land
lord is Gorge Estabrook and his
agent is A. p Rankin and Company,
1856 w. Madison street.
Most Of these buildings are old
and have not been repaired by the
landlord for many years. Advertise
these landlords who are unfairly
raising rents without reason.
