Army Service viii Soon Be
Sent to Camp Dodge.

Mobilization of the deferred per-
centage of the first quota from Rock
Island county district No. 2 may be
expected on or shortly after Feb. Is,
according to message from the pro-
vost marshal general, which has been
transmitted to the Moline board
through the adjutant generals office.
The message instructs local boards
to put forth every effort to have
enough men in Glass / SO that the
call may be filled from this list with
out drafting men who are now in
more deferred classes, but who re-
main liable to induction in the order
of liability heretofore fixed by their
order numbers, provided an insult
cient number of men have not yet
been classified in Glass l.
Clerk John H. Coburn announced
this morning that the local board will
have no difficulty in getting the re-
mainder of the quota out of Glass l.
In fact, all of the men necessary to
complete the quota have already been
examined and ordered to hold them
selves in readiness for mobilization.
The liability Of these men as fixed
by their order numbers under the old
regulations is not changed by the
classification. All of them, however,
will be reexamined, since there is d
likelihood that the physical condition
of some of them may have changed
since they were first examined last
October.
The local board is directed to pro
coed with the utmost expedition td
examine physically a sufficient num-
Der OF men to fill the deferred percent
age, but not to proceed beyond that
number, plus a reasonable surplus to
take care of cases that may be re-

ENDORSEMENT OF
FATHER AND SON
WEEK is GIVEN

Enthusiastic endorsement of Father
and Son week which is to be observed
in Moline next week is given in the
following proclamation which Mayor
Martin r. Carlson issued yesterday:
ITO the Citizens of Moline: 1t has
been decreed that the week of Feb
II to II shall be known as Father and
Son week.
1T is fitting that all should promote
and foster the idea of emphasizing in
a national way. the sacredness of this
relationship between father and son,
with all its responsibility and oppor-
tunity.
1.-THE program is timely during these
DAYS when the world is in a life and
death struggle for ideals and stand
ards which we believe must be main
tanned and realized if democracy is to
be safeguarded and the brotherhood
of mankind actualized.
"The local committee of arrange
ments has splendid program ar
ranged for this week. and as this is of
such importance and significance to
the character building of every son, I
sincerely trust that every father will
take his son or sons to the various
entertainments as planned. Many of
our sons of Moline have joined the
colors and many more will go in their
turn. Let us fully realize their i'm
portance in the world today and duly
admonish and advise them.
Realizing the wholesome influence
that this national Father and Son
week will have upon the youth of our
nation, l therefore proclaim that the
week OF Feb. II to II be recognized
in Moline as time for Father and
Son to be more chummy. Signed,
MARTIN R. CARLSON, Mayor"

EAST MOLINE HAS
NO COAL ON HAND
Not Single Ton Of Fuel In Yards of

East Moline residents faced the
most serious coal shortage this morn
ing since the present fuel famine
started. Not single ton Of coal was
in the dealers yards and had it not
been for the milder weather there
would have been intense suffering.
The emergency committee in charge
of the distribution of fuel was swamp
ed with orders yesterday. Forty-five
cases where families had entirely ex-
hausted their supply of black diamonds
were found and these took every bit
of fuel on hand.
Bright and early this morning Is
more requests were received but they
could not be filled. 1t is thought that
later in the day cars which have been
in transit for some time will arrive
and relieve the situation.

AGAINST USE OF
GRAIN FOR LIQUOR

Protest against the use of grain in
the manufacture of intoxicants was
made at the meeting of the Moline Min
isterial association yesterday at a

building. Inasmuch as there is such
a demand for grain for the use of men
fighting democracy's battle, it was de-
.clared as economic waste for it to be
used in making liquor.
Rev. A. E. Lindberg resigned as pres
ident of the association and Rev. P. C.
Ladd was chosen in his place. Rev
