COAL RECEIPTS
BECOMING LESS
Fuel Arrivals for Tri-Cities in
September Show Little In
crease Over Last Year.

Householders Of Rock Island and
Moline are understanding those Of
Davenport in laying in their win
ter supply Of coal.
Davenport factories have not
been lax in this respect. however,
nearly all Of them having stored
enough fuel to carry them through
the winter.
Reports disclosing the above
facts were submitted at the regu-
lar weekly meeting Of the Rock Is
land committee Of the L. s. rail
road administration Tansporta-
ton division, car service section,
yesterday.
The Importance of urging the
consumer to take advantage of the
present comparatively easy move
ment Of coal and secure a winter
supply was emphasized
But a short time remains before
the carriers viii experience the
usual winter congestion, and coal
movements viii consequently be
hampered 20 a considerable ex-
tent But slight increase in coal
arrivals was noted for the month
OF September over the same period
last year.
Yesterdays meeting was a joint
one with representatives Of tTi-
city coal dealers. in attendance by
request The new rule. dictated
by the fuel administration, prOhib-
iuug recousi gnmeut OF coal was
discussed.
Conceusus of opinion was that
the new ruling pertained TO the
coal operator who bills fuel TO
himself and then reconsigns it
while in transit or after arrival al
its terminal point
Il was decided to submit to the
committee now in Chicago arrang-
ing new tariffs d recommendation
that one free recOnsignment, with
ing a hours after arrival at ter
V minal points be permitted, but that
no second reconsigumeut be al
lowed under any CiTcum stances. II
is thought that this arrangement
will prevent and reduce delays to
q minimum to coal equipment.
Several dealers have reported
that equipment was delayed be
cause Of q shortage Of labor, but
that these delays were being re
duCed as rapidly as possible. Coal
equipment is badly needed at the
mines and the administration will
not tolerate any avOidable delay.

CANTEEN PROVING
MOST POPULAR OF
PLACES AT AUGIE

Candy and smokes are now being
handed out over the counter of the
Lutheran Brotherhood canteen at
Augustana college for the benefit
OF the members OF the s. A. T. {.
This canteen, located in the old

about the grand piano, while others
are puzzling over the chessmen and
checkers
To the right as one enters is the
counter, where sweets and other
soldierly necessities are dispensed,
and it has been found that what is
true of the doughboys elsewhere
holds good here, too-that the ca
pacity for candy consumption is
little short of marvellous. In the
center of the floor. upon a large
rug, are arranged chairs and rock
ers, grouped about tables and the

tables with facilities for letter
writing. The walls are tinted a
pleasant hue and the woodwork is
finished dark. Curtains which com

Visitors are always welcome here,
and an opportunity is afford
ed friends and relatives to meet
and visit the boys. The visitors

of names, both OF local people and
those from other cities.
Rev. Walter Tillberg Of Trinity

FILM EXPLODES AT LEEDS
AND CAUSES BAD FIRE

Leeds, N. D., Jan. 22.-During the
performance at the moving picture
theatre in this city last night the film
took fire and set fire to the building,
which was completely destroyed, as
was the butcher shop building next
door. The entire stock Of the butcher
shop was saved, as was also the
household effects of Olaf Leet, who
owned the meat market and lived in
apartments in the rear of the same
building.
The audience at the theatre got out
Of the building in safety, although
considerable excitement prevailed for
while. The theatre was equipped
with a fire-proof booth, but the oper-
ator became excited and tried to get
the burning film outside Of the build
ing. 1t is thought that had he left the
film in the booth small damage would
have resulted.
No announcements have yet been
made as to whether the buildings will
be replaced. 1t is understood that
some insurance was carried.

OLD SETTLERS ENJOY
REAL HOUSE WARMING


A large number of the old settlers
of Ward county gathered at the new
home of Mr.. and Mrs. James Johnson
last Friday night to enjoy an old
fashioned house-warming. The affair
was surprise to Mr.. and Mrs. John
son, who were engaged in playing a
game of whist with other members of
the family when their guests came in
upon them and took possession of the
place.
The new johnson home on Main St.
modern in every appointment, is far
different from the little old log cabin
in which they started housekeeping
in Ward county on their Burlington
homestead thirty odd years ago. but
the old timers found that the same old
western hospitality which characteriz-
ed the johnson home of early days
still prevailed and they at once felt
right at home.
The guests were shown through the
new home, one of the very finest in
North Dakota, and after congratulate
ing Mr.. and Mrs. johnson on their
excellent judgment in the arrangement
of their new home, the evening was
whiled away in playing Norwegian
whist and in social intercourse. The
old timers went heavily laden with
good things to eat which were serv-
ed at the proper time. The guests
presented Mr.. and Mrs. johnson with
a beautiful fern, which now adorns
their home
Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. A. C. Nedrud, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Kelley, Mr.. and Mrs. John Ehr, Mr..
and Mrs. Martin jacobson, Mr.. and
Mrs. D. r. Jacobson, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
