CONSERVING GAS
 FOR SMALL USERS
LARGEST CONSUMERS ARE PUT OVER ON THE COAL AND WOOD FUEL FOR THE
 PRESENT

The unprecedented cold wave that had spread all over the state yester~ day caused an excess demand to be made on the natural gas in Arkansas which is piped from the Louisiana fields, and the supply might have gone too low ta be serviceable but for the cooperation of the gas companies in Pine Bluff Little Rock, Hot Springs and other cities. The large consum-- CTS were put over on coal and wood fuel supply, so that the small users who are wholly dependent upon gas could have a sufficient supply. General Manager $. E. Dillon stated yester- day afternoon that the large con sumers are almost all supplied with emergency coal or wood pants, and that they had responded willingly to the general move to conserve the gas for the families dependent wholly on this fuel 1t is not anticipated now that there will he further low pres sure The excessive cold over the state, and the fact that gas pressure is diminished by extreme cold, made for the emergency that was applied yesterday in behalf of the dependents on this fuel.

A valuable franchise. one that would turn a portion of Grand avenue over to railroad traffic, was asked in a bill which was presented to the city commissioners last night at a special session In the name of the Mem phis, Dallas and Gulf railroad, it is asked that Grand avenue, from Valley street northwest to the city limits be opened for an extension of that railroad trackaee
 The franchise ordinance had two readings last night, was discussed freely, and was laid over until two weeks hence, or the meeting at the first of the year, when it will be up for final passage before the eommis- sioners.
 This franchise, however is the first that has been asked undor the muni- cipal form of government plan, and under this plan the people may have the right to pass on the franchise Under the provisions of the new city government if twenty five per cent of the people by petition object. and file their objections, the franchise must then pass 10 a popular vote of the voters within the city limits, and then must have more than half of the votes in support of it, else the franchise is void though passed by the commis sioners.
 faf fr,I Iv,faF night as to whether the franchise would pass through the commission CTS. There are five commissioners and any considerable obje, ton with in the body of the commissioners would stop it there
 The reasons assigned for asking for this franchise was that it would open up the interchangeabl switch con meeting the three railroads in this city and also that some big mill was seek ing a location here, and that also the franchise had in view the extension of this railroad through the Gorge into the northwest portion of the county where there are uneXploret timber lands.
 These were reasons assigned tol l wanting the franchise. The probabl, objection will come from those prop erty owners who have seen Grand ave nue held for about forty years as 2 boulevard come ting the drives of the west mountain and Hot Springs mountain and also want this avenue improved that it would furnish a con meeting avenue on the outskirts oi the city between Prospect, Quapaw Ouachita, Central, Malvern avenues and Benton street
 No provision was made in the fran chise for any payment to the city foi the privilege, and that in itself vii
 be urged on the part of opponents of tLe franchise. There is no question but that it would be a most valuable franchise from a monetary standpoint and there is little doubt but that con siderable objection will be raised tc permitting the city again to ever give away franchise that has value to it.

CENTRAL SCHOOL NOTES

The S l. A. of the Central School met with large attendance of en- thusiastic patrons The contest be- tween the rooms for the pictures is not only shown by the teachers and pupils but the mothers are just as eager for her child's room to gain possession of them for the periods of two weeks as anyone and each mother is making an effort to be present. Miss NaHmans fourth grade succeeded in getting the pictures from Miss Loyds room this week, who had them for several weeks.
 Preparations are under way for d big Christmas tree for the children to be given the Friday before Christ mas. The ten dollar gold piece won by the children in the Liberty Bond Parade" S going to be put with the necessary amount made by the school in the recent Street Fair" to make the celebration a success as well as the most enjoyable the children have experienced lately.
 IO ohlttl IT aAl EtNAii tNb fthlf% g, was certainly the most successful of it's kind ever held in the schools The sum of $7G.S3 was taken in and there was but very little expense The side shows drew large crowds as did the Beauty Parlor' and Roof Garden" The vaudeville show was cleveriy prepared and interesting. The High School orchestra furnished the music for the evening. It was very much enjoyed
 The girls of Central School are the recipients of a new Basket Ball court installed by Housley Brothers and the girls are very grateful to Mir Housley and extend their appreciation in this manner.

in this respect, and our endeavors should in no instance be relaxed
 As to wheat, we have already ex- ported the whole of the surplus of the 1917 harvest over and above the nor nal demands of our own population until the 1918 harvest It is neces- sary for the food administration to restrict the export of wheat so as to retain in the United States sufficient supplies to carry our own people until the next harvest Therefore all ex- ports of wheat from now forward are limited entirely to volume of saving made by the American people in their consumption of wheat and wheat products. We are continuing wheat shipment for December as far as our situation allows, but even with all the conservation made we are still unable 10 load more than 4000oO tons of foodstuffs urgently required by the al lies during December alone
 statements of the above character given out for personal interest are in little accord with the spirit being shown by millions of homes in the United states, in an endeavor to aid the food administration in it's task of feeding our own soldiers abroad as well as our allies and stabilizing prizes to our own people. No more foolish or unpatriotic utterance has been made than the statement re- ferred to.
 "ln the critical situation of the worlds food supply today opposition to the governments conservation measures is an action comparable to opposition to the draft, because any failure in saving food means direct end immediate loss of life aside from serious interference with our war sor- vice in the feeding of our allies"

At its special meeting Thursday 'afternoon the State Council for De- .fense passed the following resolution, Introduced by Senator C. C. Calvert .of Fort Smith
 Resolved, That it be the sense of .the Arkansas State Council of De- .fense. that any individual. firm or cor poration that refuses 10 observe the meatless and wheatless days and .other food regulations recommended by Herbert Hoover, shall be consid- .ered unpatriotic'
 The introduction of the resolution followed the reading of the following telegram from Herbert C. Hoover to Hamp Williams, federal food admin istrator for Arkansas:
 statements appearing in the Chi cago press and widely circulated emanating from persons interested in exploiting meatless and wheatless days as unnecessary sacrifices by American public, are malicious or emanate from personal interest en- deavoring to raise the price of meat.
 "The results from meatless days have for the first time created a suf ficient visible supply of meat to al- low us to partially comply with the quantities requested by the allies for shipment during December This should be a matter of satisfaction to the entire American people that their devotion in this matter now enables us to resume our duties to the allies

A|VNOYANCES IF WAR TIMES MANY
New York Sum

There are some things about the or ganiZation of the war time life of country that seem utterly inexplicable For instance, after o'clock at night in any public place in London one may not buy a packet of cigarettes If group of men sitting at a table ex- haust their supply waiter will wheel over to them a little cart laden with cigarette packages, and each one in the party may buy a single cigarette No amount of pleading will convince the attendant that he might just as well sell package at time.
 There certainly isn't any ultimate economy of time or service in this way of doing 1t. The way people smoke, men and women alike, in public places doesn't suggest. either, that there is any particular saving of tobacco. But it's the rule, under the defense of the realm act, that legislative marvel which has put into the hands of the war cabinet a miscellany of powers which frequently are exercised in most illogical ways. The proprietors of the places seem to be thoroughly devoted

to the strict enforcement of those reg ulations which enable them to make an additional profit In the matter of cigarettes, for instance, when they are bought one at a time the price is hoisted about 50 per cent above the price that would be paid on a package basis.
 The government has decided that no more tea and coffee shall be imported for an indefinite period in or der to save tonnage. This would not constitute very severe hard ship, because there are prepos- terously big stocks of both these staples in the country. But the prices of both tea and coffee have been steadily mounting up. despite threats of the government to commander sup plies and market them at fixed rates involving a modest and reasonable profit.
 If one goes to a grocer's shop to buy sugar he will be allowed perhaps as much as three or four pounds, provided he makes aggregate purchases of other articles amounting to shillings or 4 shillings.
