The Newcomb Club.

The Newcomb Club of Bethesda, Md.
held the first meeting of the New Year at
the home of Mrs. George G. Bradley, Be-
thesda, Md. January 3rd. 1919.
After the usual business of the club. very
interesting talks on THE characteristics
of the Indians" were given by Mrs. Jed
Cuttings and Mrs. F. M. Heaton.
The speaker of the evening, Mrs. BONN.
Secretary of the Indian Organization, who
was to have addressed the club on Indian
Folk Lore" was unable to be present on
account of business in Congress. The club
regretted her absence very much,
On account of the influenza the press
committee has been unable to report meet
ings previous to this but the club has been
carrying on the work as well as could be
expected with so much sickness in the
community.
December 9Th will always be remembe red
as red letter day for the Newcomb Club.
The meeting was Red Cross Day and was
held at the home of Mrs. Thomas Owens,
the speaker of the occasion being Major
King, an English officer from over there, -
who gave very interesting account of Red
Cross work from his own experience. He
says that no other organization can equal
the Red Cross and that half can never be
told of the good it does.
This being Guest Day, members from all
neighbor clubs we're present. Music by Mrs.
Wlmot and Mrs. Stanley Everhart added
much to the occasion.
The next meeting will be held January
18th at the residence of Mrs. Alfred Viii
son and, as it will be Temperance Day, we
hope for large attendance.

In the death Of Captain Norman Ashton
Garrett. 82nd Division. 325 Regiment, u.
S. A. Infantry, who was killed in action in
France on October IA. the nation has lost
a patriot. His friends mourn leader Of
splendid gifts and usefulness and have
sustained great and enduring loss
AS a citizen, he was eminent in his
social life. without a blemish, while in his
home he was an ideal husband, father
and friend.
Norman Garrett was a student Of men
and affairs His mind was quick. strong,
comprehensive and tenacious his interest
in life. in men and their doings was keen,
his views were notable for their saneness
and his judgment seldom at fault.
His whole life was one Of faithful and
conscientious service. While ambitious.
he was ever content to enjoy the simple
things Of life; was unassuming and showed
as much courtesy to those in an humble
position as to those in higher places. Few
men had the gift Of winning confidence
as easily as did he. or binding friendships
to himself. No young man was ever held
in higher respect by his friends, his asso-
ciates and by those who were brought into
contact with him.
It was his habit to speak well Of his
friends and fellowmen and to bury their
faults If he saw them. in silence. The
goodness Of his heart disclosed itself in all
that he said and did. He shirked no labor
he forgot no obligation, truth and sincerity
bespoke in him. No one ever heard him
complain. He was the most companion
able Of men, Of kindly heart and great
breadth Of human sympathy.
In the death Of Captain Norman Ashton
Garrett, who gave his life for his country
at the age Of SO years. will always reflect
great credit upon the honored name and
be source Of aid and comfort to his be-
reaved family Pensacola (Fla.l News.

SOLUTION seen
TO SUPPLY ice
Cold Wave Relieves Situation
Moline Company Begins Har-
Vesting Today.

Ice harvesting in the LeClaire
canal was started today by the Mo-
line Consumers Ice company.
Marking and blowing Of the ice,
which is nine inches thick, was be-
gun yesterday and approximately
1900 tons of ice will be removed
each day.
With the present cold wave, and
It's continuance for three or four
more days. the ice problem in this
vicinity will be solved. The gov
eminent weather bureau at Daven-
port predicts continued cold
weather for tomorrow.
The Moline company will cut ice
as long as the weather permits,
first filling the home demands and
then supplying other communities.
The company has prepared excel
lent facilities for the work. An
elevator and a chain conveyor 300
feet in length, able to load IA cars
at one time is one of the most mod
ern OF its equipment.
The ice will not be loaded for
some time. because it is said, that
the railroads are Selling about fifty
per cent of ali Ice placed in cars,
for their own use. The Consumers
company intends TO build its sup
ply OF ice for home consumption TO

then erect a temporary structure

INCREASE MADE
IN DEERE STOCK
Annual Report of Company Actv-
tiles Shows Marked Growth
During Last Year.

Annual report of Deere & Co. fol
the fiscal year ended Oct. 81. 1918
certified by Haskell & Sells, cert
fed public accountants, is just of
the press and is being mailed to
stockholders of the company The
report of the board of directors
follows in part:
During the last year the COM
pany has devoted a considerable
portion of its facilities to the man
ufacture OF combat and escort
wagons, under contracts with the
war department Since the sign
ing of the armistice, operations un-
der these contracts have been sus-
pended at the request OF the gov
eminent. At the close of the year
the company had on hand approx
imately 100000 of materials and
work in process for such contracts
The net working capital of the
company shows an increase of 50,
Ill 054.30 as compared with the
previous year.
Inventories increase is $7,1S0.-
542.S6 during the year. OF this
amount SAT-, 667.99 represents the
Waterloo inventories for govern
ment war work, and the balance.
about $4,000 900, the increase in
regular inventories. This increase
was largely occasiOned By advanc-
ing the manufacturing operations
of the company about two months
in order to prevent the congestion
that prevailed during the winter OF
19I7-191S. These inventories have
been priced upon conservative
basis and. in general, have not
been written up to present market
costs. This was done in order to
save the company from loss dur
ing he period of readjU stment
The indebtedness of the company
shows considerable increase dur
ing the year. This was due to the
purchase of the Waterloo Gasoline
Engine company, the purchase of
Liberty bonds. and the increase in
inventories just referred to.
Reserve accounts were increased
$2,171,SGS.70 during the year over
1917.
\ portion of the Increase is due
to including in 1918 the reserves
carried by the Waterloo Gasoline
company. The reserves for
of property and
cover only invisible
wear and tear, and obsolescence,
and do not include maintenance
and repairs. These are both pro-
vided for in the operating ex-
penses. The total charges for de-
probation and for maintenance ana
repairs during the year mot in
the Waterloo company
to $1,76S,271.01, as com
pared with $1,11S,O1O.69 during the
previous year

STORE ROOMS ARE
MADE OF M'KTNNIE
BUILDING, MOLINE;

Three store rooms arc to be made
from the corner rooms Of the Nc
Kinnie block, Fifteenth street and
Railroad avenue, Moline. Due to
the large frontage, 81 feet, the room
was an obstacle to it's ready rental,
but by dividing It into three rooms,
easy rental is assured.
Miss Freda Mayer. representing
the Mayer estate, which holds title
to the McKinnie block, stated to-
day that under present conditions
there Is no demand for large store
rooms, a condition which has
prompted a change in the building
The large corner store room was
for a considerable time occupied
by the Peoples sc and 10c store
and has been unoccupied since the
retirement Of that concern from
business.
p. H Lorenz has been awarded
the contract for the project, which
it is expected will be completed by
March Is.
Understanding is that Hickey
Bros. of Davenport seek to lease
the corner store room when chang
es have been completed. Confirma-
ton of the report is not yet to be
had from either the Mayors or the
