80 CARS OF FLOUR.

The Federal government took dras-
tic action at Racine last week when
it Communicated 80 carloads of -four

days supply or 5000 barrels repre-
senting that much of it's product was
used by the government. This re-
quest was granted. Later the concern
asked to store 80 days supply. An
investigation disclosed that it already
had about $4,000 barrels on hand
when it made the last request. The
order Immediately came to seize ex-
cess -four above 80 days need. A. j..

high priced cream and we'll worth
the money! The musical program in
the afternoon was rendered by the
Jackie Jr. band and Campfire girls.
Mr.. Brockert, our former county

teresting homely talks to his old

such snug little sum for the cyclone
sufferers. They thank the public for
its support.

Reports have been circulated that
Food officials have stated that further
conservation in wheat -four is un-
necessary. No statement Of this char
acter has ever been issued. The ac-
tual condition is that our supply I'M
til harvest allows home consumption
Of approximately one third normal
if we are to maintain allied supplies.
So there should be no deviation from
the rules governing the sales of flour
to the consumer, providing that no
farmer should receive to exceed one
quarter barrel of -four at one time
and no city buyer to receive to ex-
coed one eighth barrel at one time.

TEUTONS FORCED
 BACK ON PIAVE
Italians Sing As They Go Into
 Battle With AuStrianS

Italian Headquarters, Northern Italy, Jan. 17.-(By The Associated Press)-Italian troops have succeeded in breaking the pressure which the enemy has been exerting on the lower Piave near Venice. This is a tri- angular sector originally cleared of the enemy when the whole region was in undated by opening the canals. But recently low water has permitted tho enemy to renew his incursions almost to Capo Sile and the Venetian la , goons.
 Enemy patrols had established dugouts and posts in the lagoons at Agenzia Zulana, just across the river from Capo Sile. which commands tho canal running to Porto Grande and the region back of Venice. During the early days of the week the Italian navy had bombarded the dugouts and destroyed the bridge on which the en- emy was attempting to cross Agcnzi&L. The enemy made repeated attempts to enlarge his position, but was Tcpulsed.
 Stung by the repeated checks the enemy brought his full force to bear yesterday morning. They were met by chosen Italian troops from the Gren- adler and Bersaglieri brigades. The Italian defense was led by the Bcrsag lieri, who had asked that privilege in order to answer the scurrilous pam phlets which had been thrown into the Italian lines.
 The Bersa glieri hewed their way to the enemy's support line. The fight was stubborn for the first two hours, but the enemy gradually gave ground as fresh ranks of Bersaglieri, cheer ing and singing patriotic songs, threw themselves into the struggle. The enemy was finally pushed back from the positions he had aimed.
 One of the favorite ruses used by the enemy was for a party of his troops to advance with their hands LID. calling 'kamerad." When they would be close to the Italian lines they would rush forward suddenly with hand grenades, but to be moved down as they advanced by the Italian ma- chine gun fire. The fighting through out was at close quarters.
 Heavy losses were sustained by the enemy and the Italians captured 150 prisoners. The battle-ground was cov- cred with Austrian dead and burial parties were busy throughout the night.
 Many instances of bravery stand out Tn one instance an Italian officer and five men invaded a trench, took two machine guns, killed all the Aus tran gunners and brought back the guns.
 The Italian success gave a, serious check to the enemy effort to improve his position near Venice.

New England's Mind Troubled.

Boston, Jan. 18.--Industrial ac- tivity throughout New England was | suspended generally today amid great confusion in the minds of factory owners and employees as to the appIi- cation of Fuel Administrator Car | fields closing order to individual cases. That the shut down was not complete was due to the ruling last | night that number of manufacturing g plants working on material needed for government use were exempt from the provisions of the order and that it did not effect machinery operated by water or hydro electric power.
 The latter ruling was of particular value in Maine, as @ considerable pro- portion of it's industries uses water power Most of the shops permitted to operate because they did not de- pend on coal for fuel conducted bus mess as usual. Tn the case of plants engaged in government contracts the exemptions were announced so late that it was impossible to get word to many employees who, before the close of business yesterday, had been noti- fled that the shops would not be open today However, all means were util- iZed to summon the workers, and all CilouSh oiloIL-IletlOeu, ulOSL Ol lISoC factories were running today.
 The public depends upon newspa- pers for information as to the effect of the order upon their business and many appealed to the newspaper off, ces for the solving of perplexing prob lems. A. number of plants kept up work in shipping rooms and other de- partm which could be operated without the use of power.
 The general holiday increased the burden of the railroads, many of the workers taking advantage of their un- expected vacation to come here. New England railroads did not change their schedules, except to cancel some trains used solely by employees of fac tories which were closed.
 The British and Canadian recruit ing mission expected to profit by the closing of industrial plants and in preparation for a rush of British sub jects to enlist, four non n-commissioned officers were summoned from Quebec to assist in tho recruiting.
 A telegram protesting against an order that permits saloons to remain open while industries are closed was sent to Fuel Administrator Garfield today by Mrs. Katherine Lent Steven son, president of the Massachusetts Womens Christian Temperance Union.
