The Worried Soldier.

He was dreaming through the drill
ing, he was half a step behind,
He was marching like a soldier who
had something on his mind;
And the colonel who was watching as
his boys were on review,
Couldn't understand the trouble but
the sergeant-major knew.
Once he broke the line by missing the
command to make atwheel
And they Numbered curses at him till
his brain began to reel,
His captain called him lazy, his lieu
tenant scored him, too,
And they wondered why he faltered.
but the sergeant-major knew.
When at last the drill was over and
the line had been dismissed,
They put the laundering soldier on
their extra-duty list;
But the sergeant-major saved him
when the colonel heard him say:
"He hasn't had letter from his folks
in many day."
Would you help him in his battle,
Would you keep his mind in trim?
Then send some cheerful message
every day or two to him;
Every soldier understands it, when
they're passing out the mail,
The boy who is forgotten is the boy
who's sure to fail.

ASKED TO Save
COAL and GRAIN
State Defense Council Also Warns
Against Barberry Bushes and
Animal Diseases.

A warning sent out by the state
council of defense and received at
the Office of Palmer r. Edgerton,
county farm advisor, urges the saw
ing of coal and grain and asks that
all threshing machines be put in
first class condition so that saw
ing in both these items may be eff
fected.
Following rules adopted unani-
mously by the threshers of Wood
ford county have been reprinted in
the bulletin with the advice that
they be applied universally:
Every machine must be put into
first class condition before the
threshing season opens. Every man
is placed on his honor to see to 1t
that his machine is in such shape.
1.-TWO canvases of suitable size
must be furnished by each thresh
ing machine operator, one to be
placed at the front of the machine
under the feeder, the other at the
side of the machine under the grain
elevator and spout.
Each threshing club shall fup-
nish at least six canvas wagon COW
6TS 10 cover IOduS OIL UTILITIES DIT
night on which to start threshing
early in the morning.
1.-TWO large placards giving in
structions for proper feeding of
bundles into machines are to be
placed, one on each side of the feed
er, by the machine operator. The
cards will be sent to each opera
tor by the threshing committee.
Each machine operator must re-
port to the county food admins
traitor as soon as he has finished
his threshing for the season the
names of all he has threshed for
and the number of bushels of each
kind of grain threshed for each
man.
The owner of each threshing
outfit is a member of the federal
food administration and is directly
responsible to the government for
the conservation of the grain han
died"
Every man who permits a bar
berry to stand on his premises is
unquestionably working for the
kaiser" according to the bulletin.
Rust from this bush must be guard
ed against, it declares, as it is re-
sponsible for a large wheat loss
every year.

MUST OBEY RULES
ON GARBAGE SAYS
HEALTH DOCTOR

Those who fail to obey regula-
tons in East Moline in regard to
the handling of garbage will soon
find themselves in trouble. DR..
Walton Tackett, city health physi-
clan, announces that he is going
to prosecute those who insist on
throwing garbage and other refuse
together to await disposal by the
firm in charge of hauling in the
city. Tin cans, ashes and animal
and vegetable refuse are found
dumped together in numerous in
stances and already more than 20
names of offenders are on file at
the office of the physician.
Notices are going out, giving
these offenders three days time to
remedy their faults" said d..
Tackett. IF these notices do not
get results, shall file complaints
in court and cause the arrest and
prosecution of offenders.
Garbage can not be handled
economically il vegetable and ami
NAL refuse is mixed with tin cans,
broken glass, ashes and like re-
fuse. The city must play fair with
the contractor. I'm going to make
every possible effort to have these
ordinances enforced"
Government and state board of
health authorities are keeping
close check on East Moline's hand
ling of the garbage question.
