WHY AND WHEREFORE
M0NTFORT MAIL GIVES REASONS
FOR BREAK IN LAST WEEKS
TRAIN SERVICE

Train service has been more or less
uncertain the past week, and espec-
tally since Sunday, as few trains have
arrived or left Montfort, and when
Montfort don't get trains you can put
it down that weather conditions are
pretty bad ON this division.
The frequent snow flurries and high
wind filled in the cuts and the extreme
cold, Is to 80 below, day after day,
has given the railroad men a serious
problem to cope with.
On Monday two engines, one of them
the big r /, left here with the snow
pillow going west When near Ray Di-
Wallis place the car carrying the pillow
and the coal car next to it and both
engines left the rails, the pillow polk
ing its nose through the fence. The
Wrecker was summoned from Bara-
boo, and before it got the engines on
the track broke some Of it's machin-
cry and was rendered useless. The
Wrecking train started to return to
BaraboO for repairs, and was stuck
for several hours on Tuesday in the
big cut this side Of Dodgeville.
A pillow arrived from the south at
noon Tuesday; and the passenger
train followed it up. The east train
arrived at least once daily.
The weather moderated Tuesday,
starting about noon, and conditions
will soon be nOrmal-if it doesn't
snow.

The liberty bond campaign is now
drawing to a close. There remain
but few days in which work can be
done. Every committee, and each
individual member of the committees,
is urged to do their very best during
the remaining few days. Bamberg
county is. already oversubcribed.
Let's double the allotment, if pos
sible There is plenty of money in
Bamberg county, and there is no
better investment in the world than
government bonds. When bonds be-
come valueless, nothing else will be
worth while. The county has already
done fine, and the people are to be
congratulated. 1t is one of the first
counties in the State to go over the
