Salt producers have agreed with the
United States food administration to
pack their product in only few stand
ard sacks and when packed in wood
the barrels where possible will be
hooped with wood instead of steel.
When packed in cotton, salt will here
after be obtainable il only five, ten and
twenty-five pound or larger sacks. Pro-
pOrtionately, one-pOund sack will
contain so per cent more cotton than
a five-pound sack. The new arrange
n.ent is expected to save large guam
titles of cotton and steel and reduce
the drain on labor.
By an arrangement between officials
of the war and navy departments the
navy will obtain through the draft all
the recruits needed. An average allot-
ment of $1,000 men each month will
be received by the navy in this way,
and is not to be exceeded except in
cases of emergency. Of this allotment
the navy is to enlist or enroll, when
needed, men who have special qualifi-
cations to fill requirements for those
skilled in particular naval service.
Most of the $4,000 will be taken from
the run OF The draft. OF these navy
officials will choose the skilled men.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
TELEGRAPH CONSOLIDATION
Superintendent Of Western Union and
Postal Telegraph Companies Meet
With Post Master to Arrange
For Consolidation.

Mr.. B. H. Burroughs, District Su-
perintendent of the Western Union
Telegraph Company and Mr.. F. w,
Sprong, Superintendent of the Postal
Telegraph Company came to Mays
vile today to meet with Post Master
Mark Kehoe to go over the situation
and make recommendation to the
Post Office Department on the con-
solidation of the two local telegraph
offices.
After looking over the situation
carefully, 1t is understood, that two
of the committee of three have decided
upon recommending that the CONSOLE
dated telegraph office be located in the
present office of the Western Union
Telegraph Company.
The committee had hoped to be able
to locate the office in the Government
building but it is thought that this
building is too far out of the business
district and that this change would
not meet with the approval of the
public.
The decision of this committee of
three will simply be in the form Of
recommendation and the definite step
must be taken by the Post Office De-
partment which now has complete
control of all telegraph lines.

LOCAL BOARD PREPARING
FOR Big CLASSIFICATION
Majority of QuestiOnnaires Are Now
In the Hands of the Mason County
Exemption Board and Classi-
ficatiOn viii Soon Begin.

The work of filling out the several
hundred missionaries for the Mason
county men who registered at the last
military registration was handled more
quickly and more satisfactorily this
time than in any previous registration.
The Exemption Board now has the
majority of these missionaries prop
erly filled out in their hands.
Mr.. Fred Arm, Jr., assistant clerk
of the board, has been at work for
several days placing the question
naires in their card board covers and
getting all of the papers ready for the
classification of the large number of
men. Just as soon as all of the pa
pers are ready the board members will
begin going through them and placing
all of the men in one of the five diff
ferent classes.
A large number of the men register
ing at this last registration are en-
titled to deferred classification be-
cause of dependents and it will take
the board several days to get entirely
through all of the blanks and consider
all of the claims for deferred CLASH
fication.

The Spanish influenza epidemic in
this city and county seems to be well
in hand. The precautions taken by the
Health Board in closing all public
gathering places and in forbidding all
public meetings seems to have had its
effect
Not single case in the city has
been reported today so far as is
known. DR.. j. S. Locke, City and
County Health officer, is out or the
city but the situation is being well
handled by President Frank Clarke,
of the City Board of Health.
Mr.. Clarke today asked Chief of Po-

strictly enforce the anticipating ordi-
nance prohibiting eXpectorating on
the sidewalks and he has also asked
the street cleaning department of the
city to thoroughly flush all of the
streets and sewers.
The closing of all public meetings
does not seem to have caused any I'M
due excitement.

the County Board Of Health Asks
That All Public Gatherings Be
Postponed Until the Span

this morning issued an order prohib-
iting all public gatherings of all

to remain closed until the epidemic

ficially lifted.

will give personal orders to the var

any individual, firm or organization

disregard the orders but both the city
and county boards have notified the
public that they will strictly enforce
the states orders and should there be
any infringments of the orders those
