GRAHAM OFFERS
VIEWPOICF ON
DRAFT PROBLEM

While there are many view
points given on the age limit in
the draft in congress at present,
my viewpoint of the matter is tina:
the age limit will not be lowered
below 81, but there is possibility
that the limit to the other extreme
will be extended" said Congress-
man W. ]. Graham of this district,
who is in Rock Island today.
My viewpoint is taken merely
from the general sentiment in con-
gress. The majority seem to IA
vor extending the age 81 limit but
disapprove of including any under
the age of 21."

DEALERS BEGIN
DELIVERY CUTS
Curtail Sales OF Ice in Rock Island
to Every Other Day Starting
On Monday.
OFFICIAL HERE DISAPPROyES
Claims Drastic Action viii Start
Should Waste Of Food Be
Caused BY Plan.

Rock Island ice dealers at are
cent meeting decided to limit the
time of the delivery of their pro-
duct to three days a week to each
customer. In place of receiving ice
daily as is NOW the custom, resi-
dents will be able to purchase their
needs once every other day.
More than half of the residents
Will have TO purchase a sufficient
supply of the product on Friday to
last through Saturday and Sun
day to Monday. Others will be able
to secure their wants on Saturday.
NJ. 0. GriswOld, county food ad-
ministrator, strongly disapproves
this arrangement which is caused,
the dealers claim, by the shortage
OF workers. Although l do not
approve of the plan which 1 under
stand becomes effective on Mon
day" he said, 4 am unable to
change the decision. AS l under
stand it my authority does not give
me the power to control delivery
but l am allowed to set the prices.
Whatever l can do to assist the
people l will do. 1t may develop
that / can set the deliveries, how
ever, if | find that food is allowed
TO spoil on Sundays owing to the
lack OF ice. This will occur, l am
sure, when people are forced to pur-
chase their ice on Fridays and then
none until Monday"
Nnmerous persons, who were
tho 1npicinp tho ica
dealers, which becomes effective
authorities should take some steps
to govern the distribution of ice in
Rock Island.
Gives Opinion.
Purchasers are paying more
here for 100 pounds of ice than in
most of the other cities in the coun-
try" said one Rock Islander today
Now the dealers plan to limit the
deliveries and will still charge
enormous prices for the curtailed
service as they do for the daily de-
liveTieS."
Dealers claim an ice shortage
and it has been stated that citizens
should conserve on the product in
VI OCt " i1dhS lIS supply last IL
is known that the majority of the
ice used in Rock Island is not
stored or cut in the winter but is
manufactured The larger part of
the people here use the artificial
product.
Mayor Speaks.
Mayor William McConochie said
today in regard to the proposed
curtailment of deliveries, Il will
back up the food administration in
every possible manner. What ever
the city can do will be done 1 Will
consult with City Attorney John X.
Scott and the commissioners. The
plan is not favored by me. I do not
consider the change necessary"

BUSINESS MEN HAVE PLANS UN-

A number of business men in Cor
dele are now busy discussing plans
for the erection of the bridge at HUI
guenin's Ferry New interest has
been added during recent winter
months and the fact that there is
general determination all along the
river and along the Seaboard for many
miles makes the business men hand
ling the project in Cordele believe
they will be able to start something
right soon.
The matter is soon to be taken up at
a netting to be called, which will pro
badly mean a renewal of interest in
the local Chamber of Commerce
Those who want the bridge are de
termined not to let the matter drop
until a definite effort has been made to
secure it. 1t may be sought through
local capital used in the construction
of toll structure, or it may be built
drought popular subscription, the lat
ter being more preferable in the minds
Of most people.
The business mon of Cordele feel
now more than ever that they must
make the start and they are going at
it without much further delay 1t may
be oxpeced that something will be
started within very short time.
