lagent at Wildwood. informs US that
fsepairs to their line were completed on
Sunday night at 100. The first train
to leave Wildwood for Philadelphia
after the storm was the $50 a. NJ Read

forty men worked all day Saturday and
Sunday to achieve this result. r. d.
Richman, the Pennsylvania agent, re-
ported first train out on his road at five
p. no. Tuesday to meet the express

Thus the first rain to arrive at Wild
wood on the Pennsy after the storm
was at six p. M. on Tuesday. A force
of men, estimated at least n hundred,
rushed the repairs needed between An
glesea and Beach Greek. Both rail-
road companies are to be congratulated
on their efforts in accomplishing what
they did.

and when she left Wild wood at The
close of last season, she was in
- .-L.ks1,, tlat "a ~,,a ~
to carry her frome the house to put her
on board the train. Mrs. Morrell was
possessed of a kind and gentle nature
and her loss will be felt by all who
knew her. She is survived by her
daughter, Mrs. NJ. K. Long and three
grandchildren, a boy and two little
girls. Mrs. Longs husband, DR.. M.
r. Long, is a graduate of the Philadel-

inclusive, be the days when special attention be given by each and
every property holder and tenant in this city, to the collection, re-
moval and destruction of all infamable rubbish and refuse in dwell
lngs, stores and all other buildings, including all alleyways and va
cant lots, and that all places be carefully inspected for fire hazards,
to the end that proper precautions may be taken for protection
against fire danger; and l would further suggest and request that a

OFFICERS RETURN:
BRING WAR YARNS

CAMP KEARNEY.-Slang orig
mated by American soldiers now in
the battle lines in France and many
stories of front line conditions have
been put in circulation here by Off
GERS sent back from France to act
as instructors.
So far, according to + csc OF i
GERS, only two slang expressions
have been adopted from Americ -
associates in the war-''camouflage
and putting the wind up" The
first is from the French So
general use to indicate imitation
or counterfeit. The second is fro
the British and indicates a state OF
nervous apprehension, generally n
the part of the enemy.
The terms "coal boxes" "Jack
Johnsons," ''whizz- banks" and Other
British slang designations for hea "
shells have been replaced, fol
American use, by 'barrack bag,
trunk locker" and &C. l. Cam
all of which are the names of bulky
and cumbersome articles of the
American soldiers, officers or com
pany's equipment, respectively.
Six officers on detached duty as
instructors are now here attached
to the development battalio They
are Lieutenants R. H. Lewis, Fergus
McCree, William P. Longest, A. j
Ouilette, R. Y. Jarvis and Samuel
Weiner. Lieutenant Weiner is act
ing as assistant adjutant of the
battalion.

DUDES UNDER BAN
At TRAINING CAMP

CAMP LEWIS.-The Beau Brum-
mells of the army here, those who
like to be "just little different
have been dealt sad blow. Orders
issued from the headquarters of the
166th depot brigade are brief and
to the point that hereafter shirt
collars in that organization must
be worn turned down.
That effect of having the collar
heavily stitched so it would lerd
an air of distinction when turned
up is no more. and the young mea
in the depot brigade to whom a uri
form is something more than just a
uniform are saddened. Scrawny
necks will no longer be camou-
flaged by the turned up collar, for
hereafter, except when blouses are
worn, collars will lie as flat as the
army regulations will permit.
Hat cords among the members of
the depot brigade also are to be
thing of the past soon for no more
are being issued. For years the
branch of the service to which a
man belonged has been readily told
by the color of his hat cord, but
since the depot brigade is a re-
placement organization for every
branch, it cannot be said to belong
to any particular one. Hitherto the
men have worn the blue cord of the
infantrymen, but with the wearing
out of the cords and the non.
issuance of new ones, members will
be without This order effects only
men of the depot brigade.

Packing Firms Big Profits

Morris & Co., packers, in their finan-
cial report for the year ended Novem-

in the history of the firm. The net
earnings for this period were $5,4O1,-
OIL upon capital investment of $685.
900, 900, or IA IA per cent. The net
earnings in 1916 were $3,s32,212.
This showing was ascribed to the in
creased volume of business, together
with good prices obtained for by-prod-
ucts, especially hides, greases and oils.

General Trade Conditions

Bradstreet's says: Business in an
industrial as well as commercial sense
is hobbled, either because of scarcity
of goods, enforced weekly shutdowns,
adverse weather conditions, paucity
of fuel, insufficient production or
freight congestion, and after seven
weeks of cold, stormy weather little
Roadway has been made in working
out blockades. Besides, what might
be termed regular business is subser-
Went to war work and while those
thus engaged are optimistic enough,
producers of less imperatively needed
products are somewhat unsettled by
the thought that purely civilian bust
ness may have to undergo further re-
striction.

Grain, Flour and Feed
The lines have been drawn still clos

lions promulgated during the week,
Curtailment Of domestic consumption
of wheat is now being aimed at of a
more drastic nature than has been
made effective in the preliminary cam
paign, which, according to estimates
of the food department has reduced

ference here at the call of the federal
board of farm loans, presented me-
mortal to President Wilson urging def

up agricultural production.
Ask Advisory Commission.
The delegation asked for the APP

farmers to advise on agricultural prob

point for the furloughing of trained
farmers now in the army so long as
their services may be considered more
useful in productive agricultural than
in military services that the draft reg

the placing of skilled farm workers,
foremen and bona fide farmers, in
class 1; that provision be made for
furnishing farmers seed, feed, fertiliz-
er and machinery; that steps be taken
to promote time loans to finance the
policy of price control is to prevail it
be applied to what farmer buys as
well as to what he sells.
After listening to the memorial,
President Wilson made this reply:
Most Careful Attention.
81 can not, of course, answer off
hand so important a memorial as this,
and l need not tell you that it will re-
ceive my most careful and respectful
attention.
MANY of the questions that are

deep and constant concern with us for
months past, and l believe that many
, of them are approaching as successful
solution as we can work out for

This is a final tackle between tn

PROPOSED R.R. LAW
AID TO PRESIDENT
INTERSTATE COMMERCE BOARD
TO BE THE FINAL
DECISION.
PURELY WARTIME MEASURE
Railroad Measure Presented to House
Like Senate ProposaI-Main Pur-
pose Is Just Compensation
m Not Permanent Idea.

Wasrington.-In reporting the ad-
ministration railroad bill to the houst
Chairman Sims said the house inter
state commerce committee had amend
ed the measure so as to vest final
rate making authority in the presi-
dent because under the present law
the interstate commerce comission
could not make such necessary chang
es in rates as unified war control de-
mands. To amend the statues so as
to provide noncompetitive ratemak-
ing system, the report said, would be
putting on congress an impossible
burden"
The bill as amended gives shippers
and consignees all the protection
that they now have, the report contin-
ued, as the interstate commerce COM
mission. upon their complaint, shall
hold hearings to discuss fully the JUS
tice, reasonableness and fairness OF
any rate in the light of war condi-
tons. After these hearings the COM
mission will report its conclusions to
lQe pItSlutul lOl oQSh dStiOi 90 hN
may deem necessary "in the public
interests"
Would Not Override President.
To allow the interstate commerce
commission to override the president
in the exercise of war powers, OF
of any powers for that matter, would
be most 'unseemly," the report said
ut should not be overlooked" il
added, that the president is respon
sible for the financial results of oper
ating these great government carrier
systems with gross revenues approx
mating $4,000 100000. The presiden
must be givtn powers commensurate
with his responsibility. The bill
therefore, leaves rates and rate ma
king undisturbed, except as the presi
dent otherwise orders"
the report discussed each section o
the measure and pointed out that i
was distinctly war emergency legisla
ton intended to meet the essentia
needs growing out of federal contrc
and that it should not be regarded a
Dlll tltutl lOl ONnCi ohip vi tOitiN
of railroads.
Find Just Compensation.
The main purpose of the measure
the report said, are to provide a metf
cd of just compensation, 'as probabl
will result in an agreement betwee
the roads and the government detel
minative of all rights and to COME
authority for financing during fedora
control.
Before filing the report Chairma
Sims submitted it to Interstate Con
merce Commissioner Anderson, VIII
as the representative of Director Gil
raj McAdoo, gave it his approval.
Chairman Sims plans to bring u
the bill in the house and hopes to s.
cure prompt consideration. A sin
liar plan has been determined upo
by Chairman Smith of the senate i
terstate commerce committee in r
spect to the draft of the bill recent
reported to the senate.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

The restraints imposed by specific
conditions are the most prominent de-
terrent elements at the present time.
The railroad situation is gradually
working itself out, although the policy
of the government in rigidly censoring
the movement of freight is still hold
ing back shipments in many lines. De-
liveries are being delayed, alike by
the congestion and the weather condi.
lions and enforced interruption of &C
tivities east of the Mississippi river
although relief is looked for in some
directions with the clearing up of the
situation and the replenishment OF
fuel and other supplies of necessities
A further jolt has been given the
grocery trade in the new regulations
promulgated by the food department
Their import is to further change the
situation in the handling of cereals
through the substitution of other prod
ucts, so far as possible, for wheat flour
during the next four months. Trade
on the whole, has been holding III
well, considering the quiet usually fea
turing the turning months of the year
January showing up markedly better
than a year ago.
