drop BEGINNERS
CLASS IN German
For First Time Since Teaching Of
: Modern Languages Started, Study
Of kaiser's Tongue Stopped.

For the first time since the teaching
of modern languages started in the
Moline high school, no beginners class
in German was organized this semes-
ter which began last Monday. The
reason? Because out of 12O new pu-
pills entering the institution and over
500 already enrolled who changed
courses, only four sought instruction
in language which one Kaiser Bill has
made so unpopular.
Principal E. P. Nutting decided
there was not sufficient interest in the
Teuton tongue to justify starting a
elias sand it was dropped. Four classes
in advanced German, all but one or
ganized before the break with the
Huns came, are being conducted but
all of them are attracting little atten-
ton and the enrolment in them has
gradually diminished
In place Of the study of German,
commercial courses are becoming
more popular, 22O pupils now taking
typewriting, ITO other stenography
courses and so are studying short
hand.

WILSON HOUSE is
DAMAGED BY FIRE

The residence of W. c. Wilson. 1907
Park Sixteenth, Moline, was damaged
to the extent of $500 or 500 by fire
yesterday afternoon. The blaze started
near the roof at the rear of the house.
being caused by an overheated Chin
ney. The supposition of Chief Hawk
is that the wood had been burning sew
eraf hours before the fire was discov-
cred. Members of the household said
they smelled the odor of burning wood
for some time before they were aware
that the place was on fire. BY the
time the firemen arrived the flames
were bursting through the roof, and
because of the construction of the
building the fire laddies had to work
under difficulties. Contents of two up
stairs rooms were more or less dam
aged. but the furnishings Of rooms of
the first floor were rescued. The loss
was covered by insurance
Fire was discovered in the grinding
room of the Deere & Mansur plant at
s o'clock, but the tiremen had the
blaze under control before any seri-
Gus damage was done. The blaze was
confined to beams near the skylight.
How it started is a mystery.
A small blaze at the home of Mrs.
Matilda Isaacson. 1917 Fourteenth
street, Moline. this morning, was ex-
tinguished without any loss.

FEW BOYS ENROLL,

Moline is essentially a factory town,
declared E. P. Nutting yesterday aft
ernoon in commenting on the move
ment to enlist high school boys in
farm work. And that's how it hap
pens, according to the principal of
Moline high, that interest in the course
in farming established this week, is
comparatively small.
Only Is boys have so far enrolled
in the class which is designed to pre-
pare boys to take up jobs on the farm
this summer. Five others have indi-
Gated that they may take the work.
There will be more than fifteen or
twenty Moline high school boys help
ing to produce food this summer, how
ever, saird Mr. Nutting. Many stud
ents have already had experience on
farms and for that reason did not en-
roll in the course in elementary farm
ing inaugurated this semester. These
boys worked on farms last year and
probably will do SO again this sum-
mer.

FUEL SITUATION
GETTING BETTER
Although Only $50 Tons Of Coal Are
in Yards, Mild Weather Greatly
Reduced the Demand.

There are only $50 tons of coal for
domestic use in Moline dealers yards
today. More than half that arrived
IN the city this morning.
Il think the coal problem is grad
ually becoming less critical" said
Mayor NJ. r. Carlson before hearing
the report of the quantity of coal in
dealers yards.
I'VE must continue practicing the
utmost economy" announced the may
or after learning that very little coal
for consumers was on hand. He had
hopes, however, he said, that if this
mild weather continued more perma
nent relief would come. More than
twice as much coal can be moved in
mild weather than when the thermom-
eter hovers around zero, according to
the mayor.
Six cars of consumers coal and %
of industrial came to Moline this
morning.
Although unsuccessful in locating
any blasting powder for Coal Valley
mines, Mayor Carlson obtained a
promise from representative of Rail-
way Director McAdoo that. every effort
would be made to trace the powder
shipment ordered and get 1T to Coal
Valley.
Mr.. Ashton, the central district rep
resentative Of Mr. McAdoo. assured
the mayor that the powder shipment
would be given priority. The blasting
material, said the mayor, left Cleve-
land, Ohio, Jan. %. Unless the pow
der arrives soon the mines it is feared
will have to cease operations.
