BOX SUPPER AND
SKATING CARNIVAL.

There was box supper and skating car
nival at the Y. M. C. A, last Saturday
night, with the accent on the skating.
There was a large crowd present, but
only five boxes showed up. These how
ever brought around 500, the proceeds
going to the parsonage for the NJ E, church.
The skates were free on that night and
this caught the crowd very forcibly. All
who wished had an opportunity to demon
strate their ability and the antics of some
greatly amused the crowd

NAPPING-THAT'SA ALL.

Other nations might go to war, we said
but not the U. S. A. We thought we
would be wise and sell our products at the
high prices; we we're willing to sell even
the seed we had planned to use this year.
There would be plenty of seed, we sad,
for things we're going to go along about as
usual, no matter what the resi- of the world
did,
That's what we said.
But in justice to humanity the United
States had to join the rest of the world in
the war.
And now what do we say?
1t doesn't matter what we may say, the
fact is that our disposition to sell got the
better of us, and that we shall have to
scheme and work and cooperate one with
the other in every way that we can to
bringthis nation to the point where she is
really fighting nation.

FREIGHT OFFICIALS
TO HAVE CONFERENCE

A meeting Of tri-city railway freight
officials and shippers will be held at

This part Of the country has been
divided into districts for the taking
up Of the capacity loading campaign

Instead Of greater loading of cars
being affected in this locality, infor-
nation received by Z. L. Golf, divi-
sion freight agent for the Rock Is
| land, regarding Illinois division
| freight shipments, there appears to
be a falling off. According to the in
\ formation received by Mr.. Golf the
average net tonnage Of cars on the
Illinois division of the Rock Island
was 229 per cent for September
against 23.7 per cent for August and
232 in September, 1915.
On the other hand figures given out
by the railroads war board for July
1 the last month reported by the board
shows that cars. taken the country
over, are being loaded 40 much great.
err capacity The roads carried 20.s
per cent more freight in July than in
the same month of 1916, while the 10
cal carried but 1.3 per cent and tbs

The number Of locomotives now in uss
is S0,277 compared to 29,SSS in July

Edward Everett One Of the boys
