Germans shrink from cold steel
But in trench fighting fixed bayonets
are unwieldly, SO the men have adopted
the practice of taking off the bayonet
and using it as a dagger. It Is not

Officers Elected.

F..
All former officers Of the railroad
were reelected. One change was made
in the directorate, John Zeidler, of
Muscatine, head of the Zeidler Concrete
Company, succeeding Henry c. OIL
colt, of Chicago. on the board Of direc-
tors. The officers and directors
named are:
E. H. Ryan, Davenport, president.
G.. N. Voss, Davenport, vice presi-
dent and treasurer.
B. C. Hightower, Muscatine. secre-
tary.
Maurice Daley. general manager.
Directors-E. H. Ryan, Davenport:
Davenport; John E. Dolman, st.
Joseph; John L. zeidler, Muscatine.
That the Muscatine North & South
railway made financial gains during
the past fiscal year was one Of the
most gratifying reports made at the
meeting The directors expressed
satisfaction with the business record OF
the last twelve months period.
1t was pointed out that with the
end of the receivership in sight, claims
against the railroad will be paid
simultaneously with the conclusion Of
the court proceedings. Under the
existing receivership the railroad is
precluded from meeting any claims
antedating Sept. II, 1914, regardless Of
the financial condition Of the road is
consistently improving.
May Issue New Bonds.
A reorganization Of the road Is
probable with the winding up of the
receivership proceedings, according to
information learned today. 1t is prob
able that new bond issue will be au-
thorized to redeem the old bond issue
and likewise take up the defaulted in
terest. The bonds now outstanding
aggregate 100000. The stockholders
of the company have approximately
,, $450,000 invested, according to reports
| submitted.
| May Buy Equipment.
The purchase of new rolling equip.
ment was Informally discussed among
the directors, 1t was pointed out that
more than $4,000 was expended last
year for the rental of freight cars,
For this sum, it was mentioned, a
number of cars could have been bought
and the revenue Of the company cor
! respondingly increased. 80.

DIR. ]. T. Howell emphasized the
the fact that 1t was disgrace to
have typhoid, when it was such a
filthy disease and could be prevented
by little work, trouble and care. In
telling of the work which he antici-
pates doing here. he stated that it
would be chiefly educational. The
chief work, he said, would be to
have sanitary closets or privies in
stalled and to abate the fly and mos
quito nuisance by the proper sani-
tary measures. He had been very
successful, In his work in Florence
county, from which he had just come,
and he hoped to be successful here.
The hardest task. he knew. would be
to induce property owners to spend
a little money In providing better
health facilities among tho colored
population in the small tenement
houses on the outskirts of the city.
At the conclusion of his address
refreshments were served and a
pleasant social hour was spent.
