Back to the merry days of Bobby
Burns, the choir of the First Baptist
church, Moline, carried good sized
audience last evening in a unique en-
tertainment. 1t was a MIGHT wi
Burns and poems of the beloved
writer were sung and recited.
Rev. J. Wilbur Babcock in his fad
dress on Burns said that the United
States is engaged in the world war to-
day for the purpose of enforcing the
principle that "a mans a man for a.
that" The message of Burns was to
the average man and was plea for

SHAFER SAVES PORT
BYRON FROM FAMINE
BY HEROIC EFFORTS

Port Byron was practically without
coal yesterday. So alarming was the
situation that Frank Shafer, who runs
bank as well as fuel Office, which
is not such an unusual combination
after all, came to Moline and appealed
to the county fuel administration.
Beder Wood yesterday received three
cars and the commission asked Mr..
Wood for help. Although there was
plenty of opportunity to make an i'm
mediate disposition of the black dia-
monds in the Pillow city, one car was
secured for the upper end town.
How to get 1t to Port Byron was
the next problem. Milwaukee officials
said no engines were available, but
as luck would have it, a snow pillow
was about to make trip and onto
it was attached the car.
Proudly riding on top of the car
stood Banker Shafer, who experienced
a grand and glorious feeling" when
the towhspeople met him at the depot
and gave him reception that was
worthy of returning hero.

Believing that a shelter station is
needed now more than ever before,
and realizing that the way to get a
thing done is to do it yourself, Henry
Quade, South Moline, president Of the
South End Improvement association,
yesterday asked the council for per-
mission to erect such a building at
Fifteenth avenue and Twenty-seventh

Fourth avenue street car line. The
matter was referred to Commissioner

objections from abutting property

INCREASE N GAS
CHARCESoppOSEO
City Commission Objects to Proposed
Advance I'm Rates and VIII Fight
Before Commission.

Prepared to make determined fight
against any permanent increase in
rates, Mayor Martin R. Carlson and
City Attorney ]. M. Johnston, Moline,
will go to Chicago. Feb. s, - attend
the conference before the public util-
tiles commission when the matter OF
higher gas rates for the Peoples
Power company will be discussed.
Recently the company boosted its
charges from IS cents to 81 net per
thousand cubic feet of gas, but the
utilities commission would not allow
the advance at this time and sus-
pended the new figures until May Is.
The Moline city commission is dead
against any raise over the rates which
were adopted two years ago after con-
siderable discussion and does not pro-
pose to lose ans advantage gained at
that time. City Attorney Johnson says
it will be up to the company to prove
that an advance is imperative.
