This winter so far has been the
limit--everywhere. 1t has been
blowing hot and cold, like the
Satyr---it has been flirting like a
freshman lassie. The warm and
cold weather, mostly cold, re-
minds one of the heavy william in
the play; smiles and snirks and
all gentilty in daylight, and at
night, in the showdows a jimmy
and a dark lantern. Verify this
winter of 1918 will be years
hence referred to as The Winter.

Wheat at Hoffman.

The agriculturists in and
around Hoffman have gone into
wheat culture pretty strong this
season. The Post-Dispatch un-
derstands that at least 1000 acres
were sowed to small grain during
November and December.
The last crop year J. w. Butler
of Hoffman, put 80 acres to
wheat and threshed out 600 bush
els-an average of 20 bu. to the
acre. He sold this wheat for So
per bu. f. o. b. cars. He has
vastly increased his acreage this
year by sowing 160 acres to wheat.

Labor Called Loyal.
The installing officer for the even
ing was H. ]. Carr, business agent for
the machinists Of the Rock Island
lines. He took occasion after the
work to give ringing patriotic speech
in which he made it clear that labor
was prepared to back Uncle Sam to
the very limit in winning the war for
democracy.
"Machinists especially will support
the government in every move that is
made in the prosecution of the war;"
he continued. Labor will remain loyal
in the present crisis and can be count
ed on to fight to uphold the ideals so
dear to this country. Naturally we
expect our wages to be adjusted to
meet conditions imposed by high prices,
but with us our country stands first
and foremost while our individual in
terests are secondary"

ENDORSES FILM ON
SAFETY FIRST FOR
ARSENAL WORKMEN

Over his signature, Colonel G. w.
Burr. commandant Of Rock Island
arsenal. has urged upon employees OF
the government plant to attend the
picture, THE House That Jack Built
a safetyq first film. The following is
the announcement from Colonel Burr:
The safety film. The House That
Jack Built by Marcus A. Dow, gen.
eral safety agent Of the New York
Central lines, will be shown in Rock
Island at the Spencer Square theatre
tonight.
Through the efforts of Mr.. Guer-
rant, safety engineer at the Rock Is
land arsenal, this safety first moving
picture has been procured for use. to
be shown in the tri-cities. SO that the
arsenal employees may have the oppor-
tunity Of seeing one Of the best pic
lures yet produced, dealing essentially
with the doctrines of safety
While the story was written and
produced especially for use in rail-
road safety work. nevertheless, the
lessons it teaches are applicable in
all lines of industry, since it points
out in manner more lasting than
| written or verbal admonitions, the
! far-reaching and unhappy results OF
carelessness. Carelessness Is COM
mon. not alone in railroad work, but
is evident everywhere; it is, in fact
| our worst enemy.
When one stops TO consider that
each year 100000 men are injured
and that about twenty-five thousand
are killed in industrial accidents, it is
then high time to realize that some
thing should and must be done to pre-
vent this needless waste-this injus-
tice to humanity. By no other way
can the whole hearted cooperation Of
the employee be better secured than
through the use of the screen-fer in
this way the careless habit and its
unhappy results may be most impress
| sively conveyed to the workman.
ITO some, it may seem incompatible
to preach safety at home, while Oul
young men 60 forth to face the dan
gers OF war, but in fact, it is now
the life and limb of those remaining
so that the production may not be az
fected but may be kept at the highest
pitch. and thus our army properly ant
fully equipped.
This picture was produced and II
shown in the hope that it will teach
those who see it that upon their owl
care very largely depends their wei
fare. and that OF their families. Il
has been highly recommended BY
those who have seen it and it is hoped
that especially all employees of The
Rock Island arsenal will avail them
selves of this opportunity to see ths
play"
