The price Of $1.95 for corn in north

Accepting IN a very literal sense the
Injunction that the Lord helps those
who help themselves, they proceeded to
put It into execution.

apparently, by those to whom the cars
belonged. There they stood, a tempta-
tion the like of which st. Anthony never
knew.
The cars still are standing on the sid
ing. but the greater part of the coal
they once contained has evaporated. A
host of small boys, black and white,
assisted in the process Of evaporation.
They swarmed over those cars, and the
coal simply melted away. This morning
one car was as clean as a Dutch wife s
kitchen and the contents of the second
car were rapidly disappearing

WOOD AS
FUEL FREE
TO POOR

The first installment of a
goodly number of cords Of fire.
wood, given by William e. Fow-
Ter, a philanthropic Washingto-
nian, to poor families that are
without fuel, came into the city
today. 1t was cut on lots a few
miles from Washington and the
donor states that he is prepared
to keep it coming as long as the
pressing need, due to the cold
snap, continues, or the wood
holds out.
The firm of L. A. Clarke 6
Son, at the 10th street wharf
southwest, has volunteered to
cut this wood into stove
lengths, generously contribute
ing the use of its power saws to
cooperate in this emergency
relief proposition.
Families in dire need of fuel,
and especially those which in-
clude old people, children or In
valids, can come and get this
wood at the Clarke plant in
moderate quantities this after
noon. The first consignment is
limited. owing to transportation
difficulties, and appeal is made
to the conscience of all per-
sons not to avail themselves
of this free wood If they can
procure any fuel otherwise,
nor to take away more than is
actually needed. A man who
takes more than he can get
along with is robbing some one
else just as cold.
The Associated Charities is CO.
operating to distribute the fuel
to those who need 1t, and are
unable to come for It. John L.
Newbold. president of the Mer-
chants Transfer and Storage
Company, has promised them
the loan of vehicles and horses.
He is short Of drivers, how
ever. MIR. Fowler also will pro-
vide vehicle, horse and driver
for delivery purposes as soon as
he can procure one. ANY
who can help in any way in the
distribution Of this needed
wood are urged through The
Star to communicate with the
Associated Charities.

ARE DRIVEN

Food Supplies of Teutons in Italy
Are Cut Of Tenn
porarily.

italian troops have won the first VIC
tory recorded in the new year. The de-
fensive line from Lake Garda to the
Adriatic has been strengthened by the
italian success in driving the Austro-
Germans from the Zenson bridgehead,
on the western bank of the Piave,
which they had held since mid Novem-
ber
The weather apparently also is COM
ing to the aid of the hard pressed Ita1-
ian army, which has had little rest
since the Austro-Ger drive began
late in October. Heavy snow Is falling
on the Swiss-Ita1ian and Swiss-Aus-
t1an frontiers. Troop and other trains
are being held in the Alps by the snow,
and the food supply of the enemy
troops on the Italian northern front
has been cut off temporarily.
Enemy Suffers Heavily.
