To SAVE COAL.

For the purpose Of conserving coal
the Moline business men and the Peo-
pies Power company have altered the
schedule for the lighting of the cleo
troliers. Hereafter the current will
be turned on at 7.45 instead of 4:45.
The change will practically cut in two

current goes off at II o'clock.

The word that Kaiser Bill was dead. went
all the world around.
But not a single mourner at his obsequies
was found.
But Kaiser Bill cared not for that. but
went up to the gate.
And. with an air OF pompousness. said:
I'm not a minute late"
Then o nthe elevator stepped this man
who loved the Krupp.
And, frowning down on Peter. said:
what time does this 90 up?"
But Peter, knowing who he was. un-
daunted by his frown.
Said; "Bill, that isn't going up with you
Its going down"
So down il dropped until 1t bumped hard
on the lower floor.
And Kaiser Bin was thrown headlong
right through the open door;
He found the atmosphere quite hot. and
hades red with flame.
But, nothing 10th. he walked right in. and
proudly spoke his name.
Then Satan wept and softly said: This

WEEKLY WAR REVIEW

During the week the italian front
was the only major field Of military
operations In which there has been
more than local activity en- the part
Of the infantry. The Italian line, al.
though almost OsaselesSly assailed in
the mountain regions, is still intact
and holding well, except for q small
recession here and there, forced at
the cost Of extremely heavy casual
ties on the part Of tho Austro German
invaders. Berlin claims the taking OF
more than 5000 prisoners in the fight
ing Of the last few days and the re-
pulse Of Italian counter attacks on
positions won By the TOutons.
The strength Of the Austro-G German
invaders in Italy 10 placed by official
dispatches from Rome at 60 divisions.
On the front line are So, Of which 45
are Austrian and seven German.
Eight others. four German and four
Austrian, are said to be held back Of
the lines in reserve.
The co-Belgian front has been
inactive, except for local fighting.
mostly due to German thrusts here
and there, delivered with the seeming
intention Of keeping the Anglo o-French
command guessing as to the enemy
intentions. Marshal Haig's troops
have met the last such blow in Elan
ders, where a trench on the section
near Polderhoek chateau was taken
by the Germans. with an attack II
which a considerable part of the po-
sition was recovered. The Germans
have heavily reinforced their western
line with troops withdrawn from the
eastern front. The allied nations are
anticipating a great Teutonic drive.
In Palestine the British have
scored a further advance northeast
of Jerusalem. The Holy City Is in
possession Of the allied troops.
In a dispatch dated Dec. 16 Berlin
reported the capture Of CAprille hill.
q dominating point a the head of the
San Lorenzo valley, which leads to
the Venetian plains in Italy. Here,
however. the enemy has been forced
to stop under the terrific defense of
the Italians.
Rome announced. Dec. II, that the
Italians repulsed Austrian attacks on
Caprille hill and drove the enemy
back to his former lines.
Berlin reported, Dec. 10, that the
Austro-G German forces pushed back
the Italians in fierce fighting around
Asolone, in northern Italy, and cap
tured 1000 prisoners

COUNTY FOOD
ORGANIZATION
IS launched

The Mercer County Food AdmInlstra-
tion Committee has just been completely
organized and consists OF the following
members. Joseph F. Hoyng. Coldwater.
E. f. Jackson. Rockford. Charles Dlsher.
Mendon, S. s. Scranton. Celina, Elizabeth
Coof Celina, II. M. WinkeIjohn, st. Hen
ry Frank Jones, Ft. Recoverf. s. s. Cot
terman, Chairman Of Celina, c. A. StubDs
Secretary Celina. Other appointments
are pending and will be made known as
soon as made.
This committee charged by the govern
ment TO accomplish the following matters
In Mercer county; increased production OF
food preventing boarding of food supplies,
preventing speculation, preventing OF
taking abnormal profits in food supplies,
and to assist in the regulating OF prices.
Any violations Of the food act should
be reported at once to any member Of this
committee, each Of whom has the author
ity to investigate all violations. BY the
assistance Of the public in general, this
committee canprevent INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons taking advantage Of the war situA-
tion.
Every restaurant, hotel, boarding house,
and saloon is expected to observe meat
less Tuesdays and Wheatless Wednesdays
an dthose not doing so are reported to the
Federal Food Administrator for proper
action.
There has been a common misunder-
standing among the farmers that the gov
ernment will not permit them to keep the
produce raised by them. This is a wrong
idea for the law applies to those who puy
from the farmer with the expectation OF
boarding supplies and making large pro-
flts Farmers by the keeping OF the pro-
duce raised Dy them are in no sense vio-
lating the food law but are doing what
they have a right to do
The time has come when the American
people must deny themselves II we would
win the war. There will be no use to
send our soldiers to France unless we feed
them. We must also feed the allies SOL
diers
The wheat now held In America is only
sufficient for our normal consumption, yet
we must continue to ship thousands of
tons to Europe. We must, therefore, save
now and through the coming months until
another harvest.
Make every evening meal a wheatless
one, and every Tuesday a meatless day,
Pork, especially must be conserved, also
sugar. Every individual must cut his
sugar consumption by half.
If we would win this war every person
must do their part. The government does
not ask that you give away your food
supplies but that you US ethose food sup
plies not needed by the government. The
government pays for every particle Of
food thus ont used by you. Mercer coun-
ty must do its share and will with the
cooperation of the public with the Food
Committee.

One Months Allowance of Flour

Effective at once, dealers, are instruct
ed by the federal food administration tc
limit flour sales and exchanges TO Q
months allowance for each and every
| family.
The rule applies without exception.
Wheat producers come under the same
restriction as do those who BUY flour out
right.
Persons bringing wheat to mill and ask
ing flour in exchange are Accommodated to
the extent of a months supply, If the
wheat amounts to more tina ma months
need of -four the surplus wheat may be
sold to the miller or taken back home.
That the rule is absolute and admits no
monkey business is emphasized in a spe-
cial message from the district deputy ad-
ministrator in Toledo.
Careful precautions have been taken
throughout the United States to see that
the rule aforementioned is lived up to.
The entire country is divided into nine
vones, which are further subdivided into
districts.
Ohio and Pennsylvania with portions of
adjacent states are in the ninth zone di-
rected from Philadelphia.
Celina is in the first district of the ninth
zone and is under jurisdiction of district
deputy administrator in Toledo.
There is reason to believe the object of
the thirty days limit Of flour supply to
individual families is to prevent the ex-
cessive boarding of this staple by occas-
sional flour hogs having means to accum-
ulate and a disposition to do so. While
there is mple supply for national needs
it is declared necessary to insure a uni
form distribution of necessities to the end
that everyone be rightly supplies and none
deprived ir placed on short rations.

Auditor of State A. v. Donohey has is
sued a pamphlet on "Ohio Public Debt in
relation to Taxation and Tax Limita-
tions." The matter in this pamphlet is
taken from his annual report which will
be printed later. 1t is the most complete
document ntaxation ever issued by the
state and shows how the enormous in
crease of public Indebtedness in counties.
citieis and school districts in recent years
has rendered the Smith one per cent tax

citizens on request. If you want to know
why your taxes are increasing. drop a

Because they are great men
To fight against their foe.
Then when this war is over
treaty we would sign, tl
Then we would all get together,
And have a good old time.
Then homeward we'd come marching
With Cur starry Flag unfurled.
Proclaiming human freedom
Throughout the Christian world.
