Johnson, J. N. Orr H. R. Woodcock arrived home Thursday night from Peorla, where they attended the thirty-third annual convention of county clerks, supervisors and county commissioners.

It was one of the best meetings they held. Practically every county in the state was well represented. There was a great deal of interest taken In the discussion of various laws passed by the last legislature. Among the speakers at the banquet were Congressman TV. B.

Hew serious the sugar situation Is in Chicago may be judged by the fact that a Decatur wholesale grocer had long distance telephone calls from two candy a a and one preserving company In Chicago Thursday asking for any sugar the Decatur jobber could possibly spare, from one bag to one hundred.

There are no changes in train schedules on this division made by the new C. I. W. i card which goes Into effect next Sunday says Trainmaster Bartlow who was here Thursday evening. The changes are all on the east end of the road.

It Is believed here that the new time card may restore the C. I. service between Chicago and Cincinnati. It was one of the first acts of the Federal general manager, say C. I.

W. people, to abolish this through service. The federal general manager, by the way, Is a Big- Four man and his jurisdiction Includes the Monon and the C. I. The through service of the C.

I. W. and Monon naturally competes i the Big Four service from Cincinnati to Indianapolis. The C. I.

W. and Monon trains still make connections at Indianapolis for Chicago and i i a i but these roads are not permitted to operate cars. RAILROAD NOTES. The C. I.

W. one day last week a a train of forty-seven car loads of army motor trucks from Indianapolis to i i The train was delivered to the C. I. W. by- the Indianapolis Belt line at 7 o'clock in the evening and was In Springfield at 6 o'clock next morning.

The trucks were from Fort Benjamin Harrison at Indianapolis and their destination was Springfield, A a i of now gravel Is being put on the C. I. W. between Decatur and I i a a i and in some places new rail is being laid. Gravel is being distributed at Long Creek, La Place, Casner, Tuscola, Murdock and at various points in Indiana.

The business of the road is now as good as to permit the expenditure of considerable money for the physical improvement of the property. Expects to Give DePauw a Hard Run. Coach Norman Q. Wa'nn and his Milllkln football team will leave Friday night on the first lap of their lourney to Greencastle, to meet De Pauw. The squad will spend the night In Mattoon and will complete the trip to Greencastle Saturday nornlng.

The team as It will line up for the opening whisks will be made up of the following men: K. MacWherter, lo; Ward, It; Graham, captain, Ig; Wise, Adkins, rg; Goltra. rt; Young, re; Johnson, qb; J. MacWher- ter, I Bailey, rh; Gepford, fb. Substitutes will be Keener, Foscover, Wise, Gill, Hamilton, and Deal.

GEPFORD LAME. It Is likely that several of the reserves will get into the fray at some stage of the game. Gepford has been bothered some with a bad leg this week but unless he sustains ther injury it It will not handl- him to any great extent. The squad as a whole Is in the best of shape and should be able to give DuPauw a run for her money. Some idea of the kind of team Millikln is meeting-at GreencastUi may be gathered from the fact that later on In the season DePauw meets such teams as Northwestern, Purdue and Indiana State.
