Minor Injuries When
Run OUer By Tractor

After twenty-four hours in the
hospital here, Reed Painter, "a, who
was run over by farm tractor was
removed to his home south of Bluff
ton, Thursday noon. He sustained
only minor injuries.
Painter, who occupies the Chris
Santschi farm on the Dixie high
way was run over by the rear
drive wheel passing over his body.
At first it was believed he had
sustained serious injuries. An x-ray
examination, however, revealed that
he had suffered nothing more than
body bruises.
The accident occurred when Paint
er was walking around the tractor
which slipped in gear while the
motor was running, throwing him
to the ground.

HOW many times have you heard
IL someone say, 81 don't know
what to do about that boy of mine;
it looks like he never will settle
down.? Carl Sandburg was like
that. A boy who skipped from job
to job, and gave his simple Swedish
immigrant parents many a worried
hour! He was born in 1878 in Gales
burg, ILL.,, of people who were un-
educated and kindly, simple and
poor. Forced by poverty to 60 to
work when he was thirteen, he be-
gan the seemingly endless series
of jobs that gave him such true
understanding of the common peo-
pie.
He drove a milk wagon in Gales
burg and he blacked boots in a
barber shop. If you could have
looked into the future and said that
some day Carl Sandburg would be
great poet, they would have
laughed you out of town! He be-
came a scene shifter in cheap
theater, truck handler in a brick
yard, and then turner's apprentice
in a pottery shop. Cheap manual
labor, nothing skilled about most of
it. He worked as a dish-washer in
mid-western hotels, a harvest hand
in the Kansas wheat fields, and a
carpenters helper. He begged
meals from house-to-house. in ex-
change for blackening stoves.
Hardly a promising boy!
Carl Sandburg was learning the
painters trade when the Spanish
American war broke out, and he
enlisted. A comrade persuaded him
to go to Lombard college and he
worked his way through as a bell
ringer, gym janitor and college cor
respondent for the Galesburg Daily
Mail. In college his literary ability
developed and he became editor of
the school publications. After grad
uation he supported himself as ad-
vertising manager of department
store and sales manager of a busi-
ness machines firm.
He entered politics, became re-
porter, and in 1917, Carl Sandburg
joined the staff of the Chicago Daily
News, where his work has been out
standing.
A rolling stone, a restless jacket
all-trades has been Carl Sandburg,
but from the time of his literary
awakening in college, he has writ
ten steadily stories for children, a
biography of Lincoln, and hundreds
of poems about the mass of people.
So, if that boy of yours is rest
less, if he skips from place to place,
be patient. Carl Sandburg gained
fame by knowing many people,
many jobs, many problems.

How Many Stoves In Blufftons
Town Hall? Better Guess Again

The stoves are located as follows:
former Odd Fellow hall on third floor
has four including a coal range; !;
Legion hall two, and one each in the
following rooms: justice of peace
office, council chamber, mayors
office, fire engine room, jail, town
ship trustees office and ladies rest
room.
Four of these stoves are kept in
operation constantly during the win
ter while others are fired at inter
walls for meetings.
It is estimated by Marshal Coon
that twenty-five tons of coal are re-
quired to operate the stoves. This
amount of coal, however, will be
somewhat less for the past winter
since an automatic oil burning stove
was installed in the mayors office
last fall.

so Stock Range Since 1927 :
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-An early
downward drift in today's stock
market lost momentum after mid
day and initial declines running to
a point or more for leaders were
reduced or Cancelled in many cases
at the close.
A slight touch of depression in the
forenoon was attributed partly to
the overseas news involving extern
sion of the European war to Greece
and fears of upsetting repercussions
elsewhere in the Mediterranean.
Foreign dispatches, brokers said,
helped offset to some extent the
more hopeful view of Wall Street
anent business and politics. Earn
ings reports and dividends were
cheering, but even these had to vie
with persistent tax doubts.
Dealings, moderately active in the
first hour, slowed appreciably until
the latter portion of the session.
Transfers were around 100000
shares.
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
Republic and youngstown Sheet
stiffened when the American Iron
and Steel Institute estimated this
weeks mill operations up 0.8 OF a
point at 95.7 per cent of capacity,
another new top since the organiza-
ton began publication of the figure,
IN 1893. Jones g. Laughlin pre-
ferred was up 4.
Strength came into Sears-Roebuck
as the concerns directors voted an
extra dividend of $l25 a share in
addition to the regular quartely pay
ment of rs cents. A similar extra
was diSbursed last December.

New AII-Time Peak
In Chemical Output
Is Predicted
Fourth Quarter Expected
To Bring Fastest
Pace in History
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Oct. 28.-Chemical pro-
duction in the fourth quarter is
practically certain to reach a new
all-time peak, and full-year earnings
of most companies in the field will
be the best ever recorded, the United
Business Service stated today in its
regular weekly report.
The current high level of activity
in the industry reflects, of course,
the rising trend of general business
throughout the country as chemical
products of one kind or another
are used in virtually every conceiv-
able branch of United States in
duStry.
Domestic consumption of chemi-
Gals in the first nine months of 1910
increased nearly 20 per cent over the
corresponding period last year. Dur
ing the same interval, exports Of
chemicals from this country rose
more than so per cent. Most of the
gain in foreign sales is accounted
for by the increased demand from
countries formerly supplied by the
belligerents. South America in par
ticular has been a much better GUS
toner than before the outbreak of
war.
The United States chemical in
dustry is still growing and growing
fast. New avenues of expansion
that are now being opened up in
cludes synthetic rubber, plastics,
nylon and similar fabrics, magne-
SUM alloys for aircraft construction
and the development of synthetic
compounds to replace those formerly
imported from Germany and other
countries Vast quantities of mu-
nitions and other war materials
must also be produced under the de-
Tense program.
Practically speaking, this opens
up a whole new market, as the
amount of military business handled
by United States chemical COM
panies since World War I has been
next to nothing.

Senate Committee
Condemns 1881 Rail
Stock Deal as Abuse
Chicago Great Western
Purchase of K. c. 5. Shares
Called WustefuI'
BY the Associated Press.

a
The Senate Railroad Finance Com
mittee asserted today that a 1881
purchase of more than $1,000 900 of
Kansas City Southern Railway stock
by the Chicago Great Western Rail-
road constituted ''wasteful specula-
ton by railroad already on the
brink of bankruptcy.
Legislation is urgently needed"
the committee said in one of a series
of reports, ito end such wastes of
railroad money in outside stock ad-
ventures"
The committee said that Allegheny
Corp. and Bremo Corp. played the
major roles in the stock purchase
The former was the top holding
company in the Van Sweringen Rail-
road System while the latter con-
trolled the Greater Western.
"As the result of demand loans
previously made out of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railroad treasury,
the committee said, "the Allegheny
interests held the Bremo interests in
a IlIldIlCldl WISE, anu Tic IdtCCI Coil-
trolled the Chicago Great Western
Thus, when Allegheny wanted to
get rid of its Kansas City Southern
holdings, and at the same time re-
tain a leverage on them, it was in
a position to unload the stock on a
vassal railroad.
THE price was excessive, the terms
burdensome, and the whole trans
action unsound and improsident. In
short, the Great Western was made
to serve holding company interests
in abuse of the railroad treasury
and in disregard of State and Fed
eral regulation intended to protect
the public interest.
ITO circumvent and evade State
laws which it had already violated
in buying the Kansas City Southern
stock, the Great Western purported
to sell the shares to a wholly owned
subsidiary, the Mason City and Fort
Dodge Railroad Co. The entire
transaction was a device to accom-
plish what the law forbade the Great
Western to accomplish in its own
name"
