t.r another fact that has to be TAX
en- into consideration. That is the
amount of available raw material
and the available shipping facilities.
Both, as everyone knows, have been
heavily taxed by war conditions.
In order to conserve raw matcri-
ais and to make every bit go as lar
as possible to meet the greatest
need, it has been found rccessary
to name definite quotas of certain
articles to be produced in a given
time by the various chapters TO
fill these quotas is the duty OF ey-
cry woman who has time and abil-
ity to give to the work. But once
the quotas are filled, production on
those specific articles should cease
until further orders.
Patriotism and efficiency in this
instance require obedience to in
structions. If chapters and work
ers limit their production of dress
ings, etc, to the exact kind and
quantities specifically called for by
headquarters, the situation can be
handled without confusion and with
an efficient use of all the resources
available. 1t simply means discip-
line in the ranks OF Red Cross
workers as we'll as in the military
rganizationS.

A Future Decoration.

The Hun picked up his weapons
and he started for fight,
He shattered a cathedral with un-
limited delight;
He lay in ambush by the hour in
waiting for a chance
To destroy the sick and wounded
in 4 passing ambulance.
With deadly aim shell into nurs-
cry he'd toss,
Md he felt himself rewarded when
he got an iron cross.
A string of decorations of this met
al coarse and black
Were his. When won so cheaply,
why should there be any lack /?
When comes the big awakening
and clouds are cleared away,
let him keep those grim memen-
toes of dishonorable fray
Safely forged into a necklace all
secure 'gainst any loss.
Bid him wear in public shame the
collar OF the iron cross.

CITY TEAMS MAY
Do COAL HANDLING
Authority Given Mayor To Employ
Them in Cases Of Emergency
In City.

DR.. G. F. johnson. mayor, and East
Moline's representative Of the county
fuel administration to handle emery
ency demands for coal, is now pre-
pared to deal with almost any emery
ency situation which may arise. Last
evening he was given authority by the
city counciy to use city teams for
hauling in case it becomes necessary.
He has located supply of about sixty
tons of coal which may be available,
and he has been given power, with
the city clerk, to buy the coal for the
first lots to set the system in opera
ton.
Not far from the borders of East
Moline the mayor has found stock of
coal and he has an option on it. 1t is
a shorter haul than from the mines.
The coal can be had at $3.50 a ton, and
it will cost The city as much to haul
it as it would regular teamsters. The
coal will be sold at $3.50 ton.
Mayor Johson presented the matter
to the council last evening and was
given full authority to act in the mat
ter.
Three ordinances for increases in
pay for city employees were considered.
and though there was majority vote
of the aldermen present in favor Of
adoption, two failed because they did
not receive a majority of all aldermen
elected. One carried unanimously. 1t
provides for increasing the pay of the
street commissioner to 500 month.
The mayor has not signed the ordin-
ance, and it is reported that it will go
back to the council for reconsidera-
ton. Ordinance creating the office OF
assistant city clerk and fixing the sal
airy at $40 month failed to receive
five votes, and so did that for in
creases for the engineer and assistant
engineer of the waterworks. One OF
the latter employees is a relative OF
one of the aldermen. Three members
of the council opposing these two
ordinances are Aldermen Lundeen,
McLain and Carlson.
Appointment of Patrolman J. F. Ma
berry as assistant chief of police, and
of Raymond Bessmer as patrolman,
were confirmed unanimously.
1t was voted to furnish board and
lodging to laborers working IN the
cleaning out Of the Fifteenth avenue
sewer.
