steel mills and blast furnaces might
be permitted to use fuel during the
dve days period. Fuel officials declin-

points probably will be threshed out

Department STORES
ARE AFFECTED TOO

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE fuel
order does not apply to oil wells, gas

ings whatever, except those for the
purpose of selling food only for which
purposes stores may maintain necess-
ary heat until IL o'clock noon and for
the purpose Of selling drugs and med
ical' supplies only, stores may main
tain necessary heat throughout the day

The fuel administration move came
entirely without warning after the
stringent measure submitted by Ad-
ministrator Garfield had been approx.
ed by President Wilson. 1t was decid.
ed upon hurriedly by the president and
executive heads as a necessary rem
edy for the food and fuel situation in
the eastern states.
Inclusion Of mnnition plants in the
order came as surprise but fuel Of
fcials said that war plants have been
producing more material than the rail

Our Heroes.

our heroes.
By Alva Burton Towne
Not they alone who shed their patriot
blood
Where shells are shrieking and the
cannons roar;
Breasting the tide of the grim battles
flood
That Liberty may reign the whole
world DER;
Deserve the tribute that our warm hearts
give,
And in our memory for aye to live
Others there are who heard their coun-
try's call,
And fastened then the summons to
obey;
Theirs not upon the glorious field to
fall,
Death called them ere these heroes
sailed away.
No glittering badge for valorous deed
was won,
But angels whisper DER each grave:
"Well done"
Weep not for these. or if thy tears must
fall,
Find solace sweet and comfort for
thy heart
They loved their countrv's flag and gave
their all,
Be worthy of them then and do thy
part.
Twere better that their lives they thus
should give,
Than fail to heed their countrys call
and live.
