VERY ACTIVE MOVEMENT
FUEL TRAINS TO COAST

Pittsville, Pa, Jan. 21.-More trains
were started for tidewater in the last
36 hours than were moved in a single
week of the coal shortage, according
to railroad men.
AT least 5000 cars their capacity
ranging from fifty to twenty tons rail-
road officials estimate, are strung out
along the mining districts. The rail-
roads hope to break the congestion
by the end of the week.
Both the Pennsylvania and Reading
roads gave coal trains the right of
way over passenger traffic yesterday.
The Lehigh Valley road cancelled all
Sunday passenger traffic on branch
lines.
An embargo on passenger service
from two to five days on branch lines
is advocated by railroad men as the
most effective means of relieving the
congestion

on cotton shipments in other than

the interstate commerce commission
today by the Illinois Central Rail-
road, in line with recommendation of
a Joint committee of packing manu-
facturers and railroad men that more
efficient loading would be stimulated
thereby. The penalty would be 5
cents per hundred pounds in addition
to the usual cost. Shortage of cot
ton in New England mills has been
reported as approaching the danger
point.

Obituary
FERDINAND SCHMELING

Ferdinand Schmeling, resident of
the third ward, was suddenly summon
ed from this life while at work in the
field Saturday morning. Whether he
was overcome by the heat or stricken
with heart failure is not known. When
he failed to return at the dinner hour
search was made which resulted in the
finding of his lifeless body in the field.
The deceased was born in Germany,
coming to this country about IS years
ago, since which time he has made his
home in Edgerton. Surviving him is
his widow and two sons, John, and
Benny, who was among the select men
who went to Camp Grant last Thurs
day, and four daughters, Anna, Mrs.
Chas. Ratzlaff; Emma, Mrs. VIM. AL
bright of the town of GAINESVILLE; Liz
zie, Mrs VIM. Maves, and Minnie, liv-
ing at home.
Funeral services were held from St.
Johns Lutheran church Monday after
noon, Rev. J. c. Spilman officiating.

B. J. Springer Wins Support in Beloit

B. J. Springer of Edgerton, who ran
second to Bob Whipple in the primary
race for sheriff two years ago, is in the
city today and is receiving the promise
of support from those who favored his
opponent in 1916. In the last race Mr..
Springer came to Beloit with fine
majority, but this city gave its support
so strongly for Whipple that Springer
was nosed out
Mr.. Springer has a fine record as a
police officer, which includes eight
years as chief of police in Edgerton;
and Edgerton, by the way, has not had
a county office for twenty-five years
and is asking the rest of the county to
be generous in its support for Mr..
Springer at the primaries. Indications
are that Beloit will give the Edgerton
man a large vote as ne possesses many
personal friends in this city who know
him to be upright and efficient. -Beloit

Howard Cullman, New York was here
the latter part of the week comforting
with his representative, Weetman Dick

1t is reported that O. R. Pomeroy at
Gays Mills has sold his warehouse to
the Otto Eesinlohr & Bro. Inc. This
will give the Philadelphia concern pack
ing facilities in the center of the Kick
apoo Valley for purchases made in that
section of the state.
A 700 case lot of tobacco five years
old, owned by an English firm, has been
shipped by the Earle Tobacco Co. this
week upon an order 0. K.ed by the
government Doubtless it will GO into
smokes for the Sammies.
The Jefferson Leaf Tobacco Co.,
which has been established at Sparta
for several years, has decided to oper-
ate in Tomah also. For this purpose
they have rented part of the McCaul
block. 1t will open up for business on
August and will employ one hundred
people at stemming tobacco. They in
tend to operate all year around if suf-
fent help can be secured.
All crops of tobacco about the city
are looking good, but Cap. Campbell's
ten acre lot north of the city is looking
especially fine. Planting was started
on the east end and one can trace the
successive paintings by the graduation
of size of plants to the west Many
tobacco growers say this is one of the
finest stands they have seen. Cap. put
in several tons of commercial fertilizer
and will be able to determine the exact
advantage at the close of the season.

Governor E. L. Philip has issued a
proclamation urging the people of the
state, not engaged in farming, to vol
unteer their services in the harvesting
of all crops.
The proclamation reads in part as
follows:
81 am advised by the provost mar
shall general that military necessity
compels him to demand that every man
who has been called be promptly for
warded to military camps for training,
and that furloughs cannot now be
granted or the induction of men into
the service be deferred.
SIN common with other agricultural
states, there is great shortage of
labor on the farms, due primarily to
the fact that large number of our
young men of military age have gone
into the army or the navy, and to the
further fact that increased numbers
are employed in the manufacture of
essentials for the government.
."To meet this great emergency, |
call upon the people of the cities, viii
lagos and towns to give as much aid to
our farmers as possible, thereby divid-
ing their time between their business
and the farm, whenever such service
is necessary, or to organize the labor
that can possibly be spared temporarily
and offer the same to the State Coun-
ell of Defense for distribution where
most needed"
In accordance with Governor Philips
proclamation. the men of this city who
are physically fit to perform manual
labor are invited to volunteer their SER
vices for labor on the farms, and the
cooperation of all organizations, such
as civic, fraternal and benevolent, and
the executive heads of all other bust
ness concerns are requested in this pa
triotic work, to the end that our grain
and other crops may be saved from
ruin and used to feed the people who
are dependent upon US.
