CHANGES ON
WABASH ROAD
Plan to Trunk Line the Road From
Decatur to Hannibal Which
keokuk Taps at
Bluffs.

That the Wabash railroad Is to i'm
prove its tracks between Decatur
and Hannibal to trunk line condition
is information corroborated by an
official of the road who says that
when this is done that stretch of
track will be the main line in fact.
For some years 1t has carried the
heaviest traffic, but the line from st.
Louis to Decatur was structurally
the main line to the Mississippi river.
At once, it is said, long passing
tracks are to be built, and later
these will be connected to make a
double track road. The passing tracks
enable the number of trains on the
line to be doubled in number.
1t appears that the Wabash execu-
tives have decided upon this change,
but whether it will be made soon
or not for some years depends upon
Mr. McAdoo's railroad administration.
This line from Decatur to Hanni-
bal is the one tapped at Bluffs by
the line from Keokuk. 1t would not
cost much to place the Keokuk-Rluffs
branch in the same trunk line con-
dition, and thus make Keokuk an
other Mississippi river gateway for
the Wabash road, with good western
connections here. But Hannibal is
the most important Mississippi gate
way to the Wabash, for from there
the same road carries the freight
clear to the Missouri river at Kansas
City.

PAT O'BRIEN
IN NEXT WAR
Missed Being in at Finish of This
One, but is Ready to Take
Part in Future
One

[By Fred S. Ferguson. United Press
Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Dec. 5.-(By mail.)-Pat
iO'Brien probably missed being 'in at
the finish" of the war. Pat, it will
be remembered, is the chap who
fought with the Canadians, then with
the British aerial fighters, and as an
aviator was captured and escaped
after three months of thrilling ex-
periences.
O'Brien arrived in Paris just be-
fore the signing of the armistice. He
IN. j on his way to join the famous
foreign legion. Although a captain in
the British air service, he was en-
listing in the legion as a private.
When / ran into Pat one night in
early November his first question was
the same he had been asking all day
of everyone he met:
do you think I'll have time to
get in before it's Overt"
It was my guess that he'd have to
hurry.
well, I'll get in on She next one.
anyhow" Pat came bacS"Ive served
with five armies, and l want to make
lit six"
Then Pat explained his opinion Of
where the next fighting is likely to
be and of the next king that will be
finding himself without crown.
1.-THE only thing is that / haven't
decided which side I'll be on" Pat
went on, and Cor the peace of mind
of the king he was talking about we
won't mention any names.

iously infested with chinch bugs are

bugs.
Amoug the most effective means

which serves as place of hibenation
through the winter months. Grass
also will be burned off the fields i'll
the counties affected. and next spring
when the warm weather quickens the
insects into activity crude oil lines
will be put down to serve as barriers
against further Entertainments into
districts not yet touched by the pests
The chinch bug can live through a
temperature Of twenty degrees below
zero and come out kicking said Mr.
Young.
