and stated that brains, character and
ability were the things that were going

Fire in M. g. w. R. Coal Shute Kept Fire
men Busy

men Busy.
A general alarm which was sounded
shortly before 5 o'clock this morning
called the fire department to the Mont
pelier & Wells River railroad coal shute
and storehouse in the rear of upper Barre
street. Spontaneous combustion is the
cause of the fire, it is believed. The
Waterman, Joseph Murray, discovered
the shute ablaze and turned in the alarm
from box "a. The men worked until
well into the forenoon before they had
succeeded in subduing the blaze, most of
their work consisting of shoveling the
black diamonds. Upon their return to
the station the fremen resembled miners
more than they did fire fighters. The
damage cannot be estimated until it is
ascertained how much coal was con.
sumed, but the damage to the shute it.
self is negligible.

MURPH ON ADVISORY COUNCIL

Washington, April I'D. s.
Murph of st. Matthews, until recent
ly clerk to the house committee on
agriculture but now holding an i'm
portant position with the department
of agriculture, has received another
important assignment. In addition
to his regular work in the bureau
of markets. he has been placed on
the committee from the department.
to cooperate with the national ad-
visory council. His special work will
be to mobilize food supplies, to know
just what stocks there are on hand
of each commodity and where it Is
located.
"My work." Mr.. Murph said today,
will not be to mobilize men but
food supplies. 1t is important for
the reason that without food sup
plies there can certainly be no men
for the fighting line"
