RAILROAD MEN
GO TO WAR FRONT
Employes of Northwestern
Who Have Signed Up Are
to Report at Chicago
at Once.
According to a bulletin posted at
Northwestern headquarters, the com
pany employes who have signed up
for enlistment in the Third Engineer
ing reserve co. have been called to
the colors for oversea service. The
bulletin informs the men that they
are instructed to report in Chicago
forthwith and to Guy A. Holmes,
superintendent of the Clinton division
of the road. Holmes has been ap
pointed captain of the Northwestern
company, that numbers 118 men,
picked from all over the system, a
full division crew.
No date has been set for the sailing
of the Northwestern company that en
ters the government engineering serv
ice, but it is inferred that as the bul
letin instructs the men to report in
Chicago forthwith, the time for leav
ing is not far distant.
In the Northwestern company there
are men for every known line of rail
road work. There are civil and loco
motive engineers, operating and traf
fic men, 'section foremen, telegraph
operators and linemen. In fact, it
is said that the party going abroad
can build, maintain and operate a
railroad. 1
When the Northwestern men go
abroad, it is understood that they will
be accompanied by companies of rail
road men trom other roads and that
on shipboard will be the necessary
material for building, equipping and
operating a railroad somewhere in
France.

that it is a common practice in

until it has reached as near as pos
sible to the amount of moisture per
mitted by the government in butter,
namely 16 per cent
' He had a chart showing the num
ber of revolutions of the churn to be
given in washing the butter in order
to cause it to absorb a given amount
of water. For instance, butter con
taining 14.6 per cent of moisture, if
placed in water in the churn and
churned six ; revolutions, would be
come butter containing 157 per cent
of moisture.
Butter containing 1 per cent of
