LOCAL TRAINS OFF
BECAUSE OF THE SNOW

No. 33, the west bound local over
the Baltimore and Ohio, was aban-
eoned this morning because Of con-
gested conditions due TO the snow
storm. 1t required II IL hours for
this train to go from Brunswick to
Cumberland Monday. As conse-
ouence, No "a, eastbound, was aban-
doned last night. Only one passen-
ger train is running on the Berkeley
Springs branch and that has but two
coaches. Snow between Doe Gully
Tunnel and Sir Johns Run Is report
ed to be four feet deep. Otherwise
the Baltimore and Ohio manages to
get through with few regular pas
senger trains with the prospect Of
better times ahead unless some I'M
forseen snow storm comes along to
put stop to traffic altogether

LESS MOONSHINE
IN STATE THAN EVER

There Is less moonshining going
on In this state than ever before In
its history" said Chief Deputy Col
lector Wetzel, of the internal reve-
nue. Office at Parkersburg, lat least,
we hear of less, and naturally this
office, ultimately receives all reports
and rumors OF such violations of the
law, And, Of the rumors and reports
received the greater part are found
to be uufounded. Now, this is in
spite of the fact that everybody pre-
dicted that, with the coming of pro-
hibition, the moonshine business
would boom, on the theory that if
you prevent whiskey from being
made legally, it is bound to be made
illegally. Now, my theory is differ
ent one, and is borne out by the
facts. 1t is that moonshine was made
more for the reason that the makers
found it hard to make living and
resorted to this method in absence
of opportunities to secure legitimate
employment. Now that work IS plen.
tiful and any able-bodied man can
get job If he wants it the noun.
taineer is not forced to break the
law to make living and he isn't

THE KAISER'S DREAM

The Kaiser was rudely awakened
last night.
He quickly arose in a terrible frigh'
And cried to his attendents @what
is this din y
They ssid "tis the Sammies and they
are ceming in"
He, then from its scabbarf. a
cleaning sword took,
And stepped to the door with a ter
rible look.
And as he passed out these words
were heard
This old Uncle Sam am going to
beard"
The Kaiser stepped forth with a ma
jestic air,
And said to Won Hindeburg "who il
that man there?
That old man who is not very fat,
With whiskers, frock coat and
stars on his hat?
Me thinks that is the man want tc
get at"
yon Hindenburg gave but one little
look;
His teeth loudly chartered, his knees
weekly shook.
As he started to run. he said "I'll be
D.;
That scrawny old ruffian is old I'm.
Gle Sam"
The old gentleman called that's just
who ! am
The Kaiser made quickly for old
Yankee Doodle,
And was as quickly knocked down
with busted noodle.
He called to his men, 'be quick, get
his head"
But alas; all ahis vain glorious army
had fed
He started to follow, alas, twas in
vain;
He found he was held by letters OF
chain.
And he queried of the old man
now where tor"
Uncle Sam gently chuckled and said
to the Zoo"
Epltome.
Twas late the next morn when the
Kaiser awoke:
From his nightmare, his China laid
scattered and broke
As he gazed ON the floor at a dancing
sunbeam,
He said "Gott in Himmel vot hor-
rible dream!'

Raleigh-With the approach Of an
other cotton ginning season and with
the value Of cotton and cotton seed
increasingly great and these products
most vital to the welfare of not only
the South, but the entire country and
the Allied world, there is the great
est necessity for special attention to
getting the cotton gins all through
North Carolina in the best condition
possible to avoid destruction or dam
age by fire. The State fire marshal
of Texas, Hon. S. w. English, has is
sued booklet on Safeguarding Cot
ton Gins, Cotton and Cotton Seed
Against Fire" It lays down rules to
be observed in protecting ginneries
and their products.
The regulations include application
of fire-resisting whitewash or paint,
cleanliness of premises, prohibition Of
smoking, no ginning of wet cotton,
precautions in storing cotton with
none in less than 100 feet of the gin
buildings. particular attention to- the
power and lighting equipment, metal
flues, abundance of barrels and bas-
kets with salted water, ample chemi-

Then there are general precautions
to be observed that apply to general
fire prevention effort and that every
prudent and thoughtful person should
exercise. That it is of utmost i'm
portance that every person having to
do with a cotton gin this fall should
practice great care in fire prevention
is the insistence of State Insurance

on cooperation of ginners, farmers
