TAKE OVER IRON AND STEEL
Direct Authority Must Be Received
From Washington for Every Order.

Every ton of iron and steel manu-
featured in the United States must
be placed at the disposal of the gov
eminent during the remainder of the
war and no order for as much as a
tenpenny nail can be filled without
direct authority from Washington.
The entire output of iron and steel,
including their manufactured prod
ucts, in effect, is to be Jumped. I'M
mediate government needs are to be
filled first; allied needs next, general
war industries afterward and then if
there is any iron or steel left in the
market, the private or ronessential
user of this product may have it.
This is the plain English of set Of
interpretations which the War In
dustries Board, has placed upon its
general regulations apply to the iron
and steel industry. These interpre-
tations were issued "in order that mis-
understandings which may have
arisen in some quarters as to the prac-
tees to be observed in the distribu-
ton of pig iron and of iron and steel
manufactured products may be re-
moved"

COST OF SCULPTURE

In these exciting times, when the
people of the United States are beng
called upon to economic in every
thing. many are convinced that the
exnenses in connection with the burial
Of the dead might also be lessoned.
As is the case with everything else,
undertakers' supplies have advanced
materially in price, while those en-
ployed in preparing and conducting
funerals have been compelled to ask
increases in their pay. Hence the cost
of an ordinary funeral today far e!;-
ceeds that of few years ago.
Funerals, sooner or later. come 20
all. They are generally precipitated
at time when distressed ones-that
is the great massacre unprepared 10
meet the sudden expense. Yet it is d
matter which cannot be delayed. Ar
engagements must be made immedi-
ately, and an inventory of the costs
taken. The great majority are
averse to display, and the suggestive
words at the end of many announce
ments OF deaths, funeral private"
shows that the survivors want every
thing done decently and in order.
Yet all realize that it viii not do
to arrange for funeral without, in
a measure, meeting the requirements
Of custom; hence unnecessary expense
is often added.
There was a funeral in Pottstown,
Pa, recently which caused consider
able comment. No crepe on the door,
no barred shutters and only brief fu-
neral services were the directions left
by Jeremiah G. Gilbert, an undertake
er. He had conducted 3,554 funerals
and was averse to having any more
signs OF death around his house than
necessary.
Charles Dickens in his will direct
ed that no carriages be used at his
funeral, nor should any public an
rouncement be made. He also direct
cd that no member of his family wear
crepe or any evidence Of mourning.
Henry Ward Reecher in his will left
positive instructions that no member
2f his family don black after his de-
cease.

Club rooms for soldiers, entertain

for convaleseent men back from

vices to soldiers and their relatives
and friends--these are some of the
manifold activities Of the War Camp
Community Service.
The War Camp Community Ser
vice comes close to the intimate life
Of the soldier and provides for his
mental as we'll as physical comfort
by furnishing the facilities which
make it possible for him to relax
from the strain of military training
and the preparation for overseas
fighting.
It's symbol is the red circle and its

Special Rates In
Clubs of Five Only

We will accept yearly subscriptions
to The Daily Sun in clubs Of FIVE at
81 a year. This special rate will not
last very long. People who stop to
think just what it means to receive
q paper every day in the week are
reasonable enough to appreciate what
it costs to publish a paper every day
in the week, therefore the SO a year
rate on The Daily Sun is less than
one-half what other daily papers are
now demanding. The Daily Sun may
not, be quite as large as some other
daily papers, but we give you the
gist Of the days news boiled down
and in brief way. Our war news
service is almost "a hours ahead Of
other papers reaching Greeneville.

John YearwoOd
Dies In Camp

The remains Of John Yearwood,
under military escort, were brought
here from Hoboken, N. j., Tuesday
evening. Yearwood died from pneu-

the port Of embarkation, and was i'll
only a few days. His parents reside
on Meadow Creek, in the lower end
Of the county, and his remains were
taken to his old home for interment
yesterday morning.
This makes about six Greene coun-
ty boys who have either died at camp
or been killed in France during the
past week, to say nothing Of those
injured and i'll of disease.
