Economy Is Necessary.

One of the most necessary Govern
ment policies is economy. Enormous
and often unnecessary expenses were
unavoidable while the war was in
progress. Now that these are over,
an effort should be made to eliminate
all unnecessary OUTLAWS and to initiate
every reasonable economy. The bur-
den of taxation is tremendous sapping
the very life blood of industry. Urea
sury experts figure that taxes are like
ly to run as high as billions, COM
pared with about / billion before the
war Interest on our foreign loans
alone is nearly a, billion, and some
thing like billions will have to be
raised by special taxes. AS at least
one more Liberty loan is anticipated,
and other heavy war demands must
continue every possible restraint upon
public extravaganza is highly necessary

WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Jan. 12-Bears have had an
advantage this week in the grain mar
kets owing to the unusual amount of
notice taken of peace talk. Net re-
suits, however, in the direction of
lower prices seemed to show that a
majorit, of traders took a decidedly
conservative view and were disposed
to regard the likelihood of a general
peace as having made little if any
progress. Compared with a week ago
corn today was unchanged to NC
down, oats off shade to %@7s and
provisions up As cents to $l10.
President Wilson's address to con-
gress brought about considerable sell
ing both of corn and oats, chiefly by
dealers who drew quick inference
that the outlook for an early peace had
been improved. Storm bound eondi-
tons affecting the railroads did a good
deal also to uphold prices.
Advances in the provision market
were ascribed partly to the various
peace moves and partly to traffic diff
culties which curtailed supplies of
hogs.

AUTO THIEVES MAY
HAVE HARDER TIME

Springfield. Ill.-New difficulties
are about to confront automobile
thieves in Illinois. Hereafter printed
automobile Identification lists, fur
nished sheriffs and police officers, will
contain not only the license numbers
issued by the secretary of state, but
also the numbers of the automobiles
and the engine numbers.
New rules, covering these changes,
were announced by Louis l.. Emmer-
son, secretary of state, today. Many
applications for licenses were re-
turned because of the insufficiency of
the information.
Until this time. it has not been diff
cult for thieves to remove the state
automobile license number from a
stolen car and substitute another.
Obliteration of engine numbers and of
the automobile numbers. it is said,
will be very difficult Any such an
attempt. it is explained. furthermore,
should be taken as evidence that the
ownership of the machine was in
doubt
The practice of changing engines
from one automobile to another, fo-
the purpose Of concealing the owner
ship, would avail nothing, it is de-
clared, with the new rules in force.

FACING FUEL FAMINE.

East Moline faces fuel famine over
Sunday. Not only is the stock in To-
cal dealers yards nearly exhausted,
but it is almost impossible to make
deliveries in the blizzard. Four and
six horses were needed today to pull
a wagon load of COAL Dealers sus-
pended delivery except in the most
urgent cases.
Police and other agencies in the city
made efforts today to determine
whether the coal shortage was caus-
ing any real suffering, but found no
cases of serious suffering. Provisions
have ben made whereby there will be
prompt relief in case of any suffering
because of lack of fuel, if information
is given to the police. The commun-
ity nurse and the Office of w. E. Mack,
extension secretary of the Y. NJ c.
A.. reported today that no serious
cases had been found, and there were
no reports to the police or the mayor.
If cases of suffering are known i'm
mediate relief can be had by notifying
the police or DR.. G.. F. Johnson, mayor.
The authorities have provision made
whereby fuel can be supplied to any
one who has no coal and is not able
to buy any.

that the club keep up this feature in
a modest way during the period of the
war. He declared that he did not be-
lieve the social feature should be dis
continued entirely.

TRAFFIC COP JOB
PROVES NO SNAP
Chief Ben DeJaeger Refuses to Let
Newly Appointed Crossing Guards
Suffer From Cold.

Although Chief Ben DeJaeger is head
of Moline's police department and as
an efficient and capable criminal
catcher is not supposed to be chicken
hearted" he did melt yesterday after
noon. He decided it was too cold for
the newly appointed railroad crossing
guards to stick to their jobs and in
augurated a relief squad SO that all
of the members of the force will get
an opportunity to take turn at the
coolest position the municipality mas
to offer.
AT some of the crossings there are
shanties where the men can get &C.
casional warnings but at others there
are inacessive tower houses SO high
as to make their use impractical Tor
proper protection of the public.
1t was at one of the shelterless
places that Chied DeJaeger noticed
late yesterday afternoon newly nam
ed guard stamping up and down and
trying to prevent himself from be-
coming a human chunk of ice. AS the
strong wind swept the tracks and the
bitter cold penetrated his heavy over
coat, the chief decided it was asking
too much for any man to stick with
the ship" and he at once sent the cop
to the station for Commute rest and
then arranged that the patrolmen
should help at the traffic positions.
Section men also had hard grind
last evening, working all night long on
railroad tracks to prevent switches
from being frozen. 1t was SO cold
that even the buns failed to show uI
in their usual numbers at the police
station for lodging

items Are Obeyed.

Orders were issued today to all
members of the Moline police depart
ment directing them to help the Rock
Island county fuel committee enforce
all coal regulations with special en-
phasis on the observance of lightless
nights.
Members of the night force of the
department will make a personal in
spection on Thursday and Sunday ev-
enings of all stores, buildings anG
other places likely to come within the
ruling concerning l;ghtless nights.
The order directs them to see that on
Thursday and Sunday nights all lights
for display advertisements, notices,
announcements, signs designating the
location of an Office or place of bust
ness, or the nature of any business,
lights in the interior of any place of
business, be turned off when such
business places are not open.
Lights necessary for public safety
or such as are required by law may be
| turned on.
! Excessive street lighting intended
for advertising purposes is prohibited.
Excessive window lighting, even
through the store is open for bust
ness, is also prohibited.
M. j. McEniry, member of the coun-
ty fuel committee, personally directed
the turning off of 40 lights on Thurs
day evening. The majority of these
| lights probably would have continued
burning had not the fuel committee
man appeared. Some of these were in
stores that were open for business.
