Friction between the county COM

what is expected by the county

on road work in general, in which
federal aid is playing an important
part. .....,.

have made for quiet week in ordin-
airy distributive, trade, and weather
plus coal and car shortage have cur
tailed manufacture and industry. This
latter condition appears most acute in
the north Atlantic states, the coolest
weather ever recorded having special
effect in and near New York, where
the coal shortage caused the closing
of many office buildings on several
days, the suspension of many indus
tries, the Gripping Of educational and
charitable institutions and the shut
ting down even of war industries not
ably shipyards. Similar conditions are
reported east of the metropolis, some
munition centers in New England be-
ing badly crippled. s
This slowing down of industry and
trade has allowed a good deal of re-
trospection and a fair amount of pre-
diction as to the future. The annual
reports to Bradstreets from over 100
cities are almost unit in reporting
an increase in the value of both
wholesale and retail trade in 1917 over
1916, the gains reported in these lines
being outstripped, however, by the in
creases in output of manufacture and
industry, which was, of course, stim-
ulated by war work and a very full

WELL KNOWN HERE
Rev. F. X. HoImberger Often Wis.,
tied State Capital While
at BeIfieId.

Rev. Francis Xavier Holmberger,
who was private librarian to Arch
duke Ferdinand of Austria when there
was thrown the bomb which precipi-
tated the world into the present catac-
lysm, and who, stating that he antici-
pated events that Immediately de-
veloped, at once procured permission
to leave his post and come to Ameri-
ca, where he served until few
months ago as pastor Of the Catholic
parish at Belfield, is under arrest at
Billings, Mont, charged with carrying
weapons in violation of the alien gun
law.
Father Holmberger is we'll known in
Bismarck, where he was frequent
visitor. While at the capital he re-
lated his experiences in the old world,
advising acquaintance here that he
was originally trained as an officer for
the German army, with which he still
held a command when he was granted
leave to study for priestly orders. In
the course of these studies, he enter
ed the service Of the Grand Duke Fer
dinand as private librarian, and was
closely in touch with the intricate po-
litical Vaccinations which led up to-
the war.
He registered as an alien enemy at
Belfield on June 5, but claims that he
has always intended to become an
American citizen: that he purchased
a Liberty bond and subscribed liberal
ly to the Red Cross and that he has
been loyal to America from the day
he set foot on American soil. Shortly
before his arrest at Billings, Holm
berger wrote a newspaper protesting
against the elimination Of German
from the curriculum, and signing him.

Chicago, Ills, Jan a. Fresh

Almost from the outset corn prices

manned that no substantial increase OF
arrivals here had yet taken place, and
that country offerings were not large

temperatures were favorable for rail.
road operation. Advances kept, there
fore, within moderate limits.
Oats climbed to the highest point
yet this season, and finished at the
topmost level reached. Demand from
shorts was persistent, and receipts
were meagre. The readiness with
which the market responded to buying
discouraged the bears.
Despite higher prices in the hog
market, upturns in provisions were
more than wiped out. Slowness of
cash demand was a bearish factor.

Timely Warming Needed by Many
 WhOEscape Net

Hundreds were undoubtedly saved the inconvenience Of being forced to report at local draft board headquarters last night be- cause they paid heed to the little notice in The Republican of Satur- day morning warning all holders of draft classification cards that they are required to keep such cards constantly in their posses sion. IL was an inspired warning for the authorities in charge of the draft classification drive took The Republican into their confidence on Friday, asking the paper to pub fish such notice so that those who had honestly tried to comply with the draft requirements might suffer as little in the drive as pos sible. Others failed to take the warning to heart and were in turn turned in for their neglect.
 It will be scarcely necessary again to remind the registered in this section that the draft classifi- cation cards should be always car cied as protection. They should be carried in a case to prevent their wearing out but in any event they should be at hand for inspec- ton by duly constituted authori ties.
