SHIPMENTS BY
RAIL STILL AT
NORMAL STAGE
Locomotives and Rolling Stock OF
Illinois and Iowa Divisions
in Good Condition.

Local shipping so far has not
been impaired by the strike of rail-
road shopmen, according to S. ].
Russell, Illinois division freight
agent of the Rock Island lines. But
it is just a matter of how long the
locomotives and rolling stock will
hold up without needed repairs, he
says.
Incoming and outgoing merchan-
wise is being handled at present as
under normal conditions. Recent
acquisitions of new locomotives for
service on the Illinois and Iowa di-
vision is enabling the road to meet
the situation without any great diff
ficulty
Mr.. Russell said he could offer no
prediction as to how long the trans
portation facilities would remain
adequate. In commenting upon the
situation in Peoria where embar-
goes have been declared by all
roads on livestock. he said the ship
pers are put to their own risk in
making shipments.
In Peoria the situation is acute
and it is expected that rail trans
portation will be completely tied
up as a result of the strike.

ORDER FOR FOOD
FOR The PUBLIC
is AT LAST OFF
Hope to Secure Large Quantity OF
Canned Vegetables and
Bacon Soon.

Hope of securing a large quantity
of army foods for sale to the public
at cost is now held out, with an
order on the way for the goods.
The city commission yesterday
afternoon ordered 1000 cases OF
canned goods, including beans,
peas, corn and tomatoes, and 10,-
900 pounds of bacon. Some of the
prices at which the surplus army
foods are being sold follow: No. 2
canned peas, 9 lip to IS SIP cents
per can; No. l baked beans, Z 4-1O
cents per can; No. 2 canned corn.
81 to IL cents per can; No.
canned string beans, IL 7-12 to Az
cents per can; No. 3 canned to-
matoes, 13A to II cents per can,
and bacon, "a cents per pound
When secured, as expected. the
commodities will be sold at prices
slightly above those quoted above,
to allow for transportation ex-
penses incurred by the city. There
are "a cans to each case. Bacon
will be sold by the slab, according
to present plans.
An order for the goods is now on
it's way to the zone supply officer at
Chicago.
Only a Start.
The above quantity of goods is
only a start, if the sale proves a
success. 1t is hoped by the COM
mission to secure much more in
time. but it was decided that pre-
caution be taken in buying the
goods, the quantity of which is not
known now for sure.
1t is believed, however. that the
commodities will be satisfactory. A
test of certain canned vegetables
and meats was made by Mayor H.
NJ. Schriver several days ago, be-
fore it was definitely known that
the goods could be secured from
the government
Notice from other cities indicates
that sales have already been made
of foods bought from the govern
ment by certain methods. The
Rock Island city officials have been
trying for some time to secure a
quantity of the canned goods and
bacon, but were only lately notified
of exact procedures in this terri
tory.
Sales by POstOffice Department.
According to other plans of the
government. surplus army foods
will be sold to citizens through the
pOstoff1ce department. This plan
will be put in effect Aug. IS. ac-
cording to latest announcement

tiles.

Decline in Habit of Keeping Diary
By N. P. Babcock

if there did, doubtless the result
was the same. 1t is unlikely that a
single one of these volumes. begun
so eagerly by the young, or contin-
ued so faithfully to the end by the
elderly; ever found its way into
print through recognition after the
diarist's decease, OF its value either
as literature or as a philosophic
outpouring.
No, in the decadence of the diary
habit there seems little cause for re-
gret. Like chicken-pox and measles.
it was after all, chiefly prevalent
among juveniles. With boys in
country districts, the decline usually
began when the skating season end
ed; girls sometimes persevered un-
til the close of the spring term of
school.
1 doubt if budding literary genius
was ever "nipped" through the sud-
den termination of these personal
records. I rather fancy were we 10
open any of these diaries at random
we would find only such brilliant
word paintings as the following:
