WORST STORM IN YEARS
STRIKES THIS SECTION

The worst SnOwstOrm, or rather
blizzard in many years struck this sec
ton of the state early Sunday morn
ing and continued with undated fury
until this morning. During that time
snow fell to the depth or ten inches
which in addition to the previous snow
fall was whirled and drifted by the
wind impeding traffic on all the rail-
road lines and in the city as well.
Trains on the Milwaukee road were
abandoned Sunday night and the first
trains from Milwaukee reached Water
town at 6 a. M. Monday. The fast
mail west was over three hours late.
Train service in the west was not re-
tarded greatly. On the Northwest
ern road service was also badly Grip
pied. The first train north this morn
ing reaching here three hours late
from GAINESVILLE On the interurban
line traffic was suspended after 6 p.
m. Sunday and was not resumed until
late this morning. ~
Owing to the severity of the storm
in Milwaukee the funeral of Miss Ka-
tie Seary could not be held here this
morning as the body could not be
taken from the home to the depot in
time The funeral will take place
Tuesday morning. $50 OILS GHay 4

BOY SCOUT WAR MEDAL
TO Be RECEIVED HERE

The Boy Scouts of America will Gel
citrate their eighth anniversary on the
eighth day of February There will
l-be whole week devoted to scout
meetings. The local scout organiza-
ton will fall in line with the program
OF the parent society and which will
be announced later.
1t is proposed, that on the anniver-
sary date the federal authorities hope
to be able to distribute the war medals
won by the scouts in the recent liberty
loan campaign. One of the interesting
things about the two successful CAM
paigns for popular subscription to the
liberty loan is the share that the local
boy scouts took in the work.
Many of them made house to house
canvass of their neighborhood, secur-
ing many subscriptions. Three mem
bers here won the scout medal.
The scouts all over the country sold
bonds in the first loan to the amount
of $23,23S,250 They did even better
in getting subscriptions to the second
I loan; indeed, hey turned in more than
$100,000000 to the government.
In recognition of the service that the
organization performed the govern
ment has issued bronze medals to be
presented to all boy scouts who got
and every time that medal holder
repeats his achievements as new bond
issues are made he is entitled to add
a bronze bar to his medal. 1t is per-
haps the first time nation has so re-
warded its boys, but there can be no
question that the precedent is a good
one; it cannot but arouse the interest
and the patriotic spirit of the lad who
is soon to. be a citizen with all the
duties and res possibilities of manhood
upon him. ---e4--.srr,.-z. --.-.s.r. a

SAVING OF FOOD /.
ENCOURAGES THRIFT
AMONG THE PEOPLE

<SxSa The saving of food dur
MywANsM ing the time of war en-
klHTlslM couraged and asked for
ws1pygI by the government will
~ prove of benefit to the
people at large as it will encourage
thift habits which were not very not
iceable among Americans before entry
into the war. The federal food ad-
ministration supplemented by the state
and other associations urges thrift
habits upon the people to avoid unnec
essary waste.
Not only should people observe the
meatless and wheatlesS days but they
should not allow any article Of food
to go to waste that can be used in the
home. The promotion of thrift habits
now will be of lasting benefit in the
years to come as we have been too
prone to waste in the past when but
little attention was paid to the sub
ject. 0A3Ha',5 .oHa~ eatI -@1j1D-G

now observing one wheatless day and

1t is possible to make the wheatless
meals popular with the family by serv-
ing delicious dishes made from bar

will send all who apply free copies

United States treasury officials are
seeking to discourage the practice fol-
lowed by many merchants throughout
the country of offering to accept liber-

They hold that such practice defeats
the primary object Of the sale Of the

movement and increasing expendi-
lures, thus depriving the government
of labor and material needed for war
purposes. re p" tA" aasa4= ID

ed out Superintendent Kuemmerlein
gives positive assurance that the sys-

necessary equipment can be put in

carrying of freight through that city

be beneficial to all cities on the line
as giving additional transportation
service. Is
