Letters and circulars outlining this

boards throughout the country, from
the missionaries A sufficient num-
Der of blank cards will be sent to

There an immense central file is to
be established, under a card index

FREIGHT TIEUPS

Local Merchants Partly Crippled BY
Lack Of Supply From Southern
Shippers.
SITUATION Is NOT -sERIOU
Eastern Freight Congestion Affects
Rock Islands Potato Shipments
From Ohio.

Effects of the recent rail tieup are
being felt by the local grocers because
Of the fact that many food products
are shipped to Rock Island over the
various roads and these roads during
the last few weeks have been badly
crippled
A local merchant stated today that
where it formerly took two or three
days to receive shipments from Chi
cago houses it now takes 10 and. -
days. Shipments from the west are
not being received as before. Local
markets depend mostly on the west
ern shipments for fruit and let up
| in supply from that source means a
general shortage of fruits on Rock Is
land markets. Oranges, grown in
California, are not abundant in the
city and are selling at so to 60 cents a
dozen.
Eastern railroad congestion will
mean no potatoes for Rock Island un-
less the situation is soon relieved.
Most of the potatoes sold in Rock Is
land are Ohios and the supply here is
said to be greatly decreasing. The
government has promised to see that
all foodstuffs are shipped promptly
and as yet the city does not face a
"spud" famine. The Irish product is
retailing for As cents a peck.

In this connection President Will

have issued an appeal for clerical help,
men and women with clerical ability
who will put in part of their time at
the board Offices to carry through this
great task It is a physical impossi-
bility for the board members to do
this work, as they have more than
enough on hand to classify the regis
trants under the QUESTIONABLE plan.
The work will not be especially diff
cult, the task consisting mainly Of
transferring the information from the

to be sent to Washington when the

President Wilson's Appeal
In this connection President WIFE
son issued the following appeal to the
school teachers:
ITO All Teachers:
THE success Of the selective draft
system has been largely due to the re-
lance that has been placed on the CO.
operation of all citizens in its execu-
ton. In. the registration, the election
officers Of the several states were call
ed upon to perform specific task and
they performed it unanimously and
efficiently. Latterly, l have had oc-
casion to call the lawyers and the ply
sicians of the country to specific du-
ties and they have responded in a
solid rank. The time has now come
when the teachers of the country can
perform a very necessary task and l
have no doubt that they will respondn
in the same manner.
THE process Of classification OF all
men within the field of selection is
proceeding rapidly. 1t becomes nee
essary to carry forward with this pro-
cess the making of very complete

holidays will mean much towards
keeping this city supplied with vege-
tables. Before the Mondays we're de-
clared holidays, the cars used to
transport products from the soutlt
were held up all along the various
roads and several days passed before
the shipments reached this city.
The Monday holidays will allow the
cars to be taken special care of be-
cause of the fact that on these days
the roads will ship only what mater
ial that was placed in their care the
day before and will not be hampered
with additional freight. Dealers here
claim that the supply of vegetables
decreased way below normal for a
time but that a daily supply is being
received.
Apples have been scarcer this year
than for many seasons past. The ap-
pies there are are said to be Of a

Bananas are again being delivered
to the city in abundance. and

was considered sb2rt time ago to be

pressed into service and this city is

Butter and eggs remain at the aver
