CARLSON'S WORD
MAYOR Thinks ii People Continue to
Economic, Fuel Famine Will
Not Trouble Again.

"Unless'-and there was a world
Of Observation-Disclosures" in his
voice, unless people get reckless and
waste their coal, there is every reason
10 believe Rock Island county has sue
cessfully passed the most serious fuel
famine it has ever known" said Mayo.
Martin R. Carlson, Moline, member
Of the county fuel administration, in
a statement yesterday.
The decided drop in mercury Will
not, in his opinion, prove much OF
hardship for the reason that FOLKS
have finally learned that it pays t.
economize, black diamonds especially
when such severe temperatures pre-
vail as has been the case i'll this sec
ton this winter.
Mayor Carlson says that he believes
mild weather can now be looked fc1
and that consumers will do their best
to make their present coal piles las
for the rest OF the, season, which VII.
help the conditions.

DON'T HAVE TO MAKE
SUBSTITUTE BREAD

Washington, Feb. 21.-Housewives
NAV use wheat -four substitutes in any
manner they wish, the food admins
tration pointed out today in a state
ment declaring that some grocers have
misunderstood the wheat -four substi-
tute rule and are requiring purchas-
ers of wheat flour to agree actually to
use SO per cent of other cereals in the
bread they bake at home.
The grocer is required to sell one
pound of substitute cereals with every
pound of wheat -four, but the house
wife is free to use the substitutes In
any way she chooses. The food ad-
ministrator, however. has requested
women to bake victory bread in their
homes containing 20 per cent or more
of wheat -four substitutes.

DECKS FOR
TOWNSHIP BATTLE.
Terms of Five Members of Board of
Supervisors From Moline Are to
Expire This Term.

Terms Of five members Of the board
of supervisors residing in Moline
township expire this spring and al
ready the political bee is fitting here
and there, singing quite a few "ins"
that want. to remain "in," and more
outs" who want to be ''ins." ID
Those whose terms end in April are
C. s. Kerns, John Weckel, Mrs. Mary
Ogden, o. E. Child and ]. Austin Schai-
BILE. The first three are veteran men,
hers of the board, while the others
have served but two years. Mrs. Og-
den and her fellowworker, Mrs. Alice
Child Walker, had the unique expert
ence Of being the first of their sex to
have a place in the councils of that
August body of solons. Holdovers are
DR.. Fred Grafiund, supervisor, and
Mrs. Walker, Roy S. Daley Louis
First and Henry F. Exbom, assistants
There is every reason to believe
that a majority and perhaps all of the
five whose time is up will be "in the
hands of their friends" ready to again
stand for the hardships and trials
which Republican nominees usually
have to endure in this G. o. P. baili-
wick. Notwithstanding this, there is
some activity in the Democratic camp
and it is entirely probable that full
ticket will be nominated.
There will be other matters up at
the spring balloting, principally the
local option contest. Mouth bets are
now in vogue to an alarming extent
but little real money has been put up
Then there will be township asses
sor chosen, Henry Qldefest having re-
! signed to become a member of the
city commission. George Ramsey has
been appointed by the town board tt
| fill out the term which expires thu
first of next year. This job must have
some attraction, for plenty Of aspir
ants of all parties are actively out fol
the place. Justices of the peace arr
not to be named and probably consta
bles will not be chosen.
No tax collector will be elected thi
year, because under a new law tn
office is abolished and the work dom
through the Office of the county treas
urer and assistants. Mrs. Isabel Linz
was named two years ago, but d1e'
while in office Since that time depu
ties have handled the work, turning
