No Fuel Shall be Burned.

Now that the saloon order has been
cleared up. the chances are that many
proprietors will continue to close their
doors, anyhow, because of the lack of
heat. But whether they do or whether
they don't, the object of fuel saving
will be equally served.
The question now arises whether the
fuel order in general has not been too
largely interpreted as compelling actual
closing when. upon its face, it merely
contemplated discontinuance Of the use
OF fuel. Ii a saloon may remain open,
provided it is unheated, why make a
cigar store, confectionery or any other
retail establishment il it can do bust
ness under the same conditions

NO PoSToFFICE BUILDING
Till After the War. So DEGREES Sec
rotary McAdoo.

Upon inquiry by Representative Mel
son at the federal treasury department
relative to the erection of the new post
office building in Mineral Point, the fol-
lowing reply was made by Secretary
McAdoo under date of January 81, 1918:
my dear Mr.. Nelson Because of
the pressing demands which are being
made upon the financial, industrial,
labor and transportation resources of
the nation for war purposes, | have
directed that the construction Of public
buildings be postponed, except where
the necessity is so urgent that the pub
lie interests would suffer by such post
ponengant.
Among the buildings authorized is
the p5stoffice at Mineral Point, Wis.
which is in your district and which
know sou and the people of that town
desire constructed at the earliest pos
sible date. but here is the situation
We are engaged in great war, war
in which the very safety of America is
seriously imperilled. We cannot win
this war unless every resource of the
nation is carefully husbanded and used
with the utmost intelligence,
Il an certain there is not patriotic
Ameri an citizen who is not willing to
submit to inconvenience to help win
the war, and am sure that the people
Of Mineral Point, when they know the
facts, will be more than willing to have
the construction of their public building
deferred a short time, so that the
money which would otherwise be put
into i may be used to purchase food
and clothing and ammunition for the
gallant sons of Wisconsin and other
states who are going out to fight, and
perhaps to die, for their country.
81 am asking if you will be good
enough to let the people of Mineral
Point understand the situation, and be
assurel that had the war not come to
America there would have been no I'M
necessary delay in the construction of
the Mineral Point building. 1t will be
progressed as rapidly as possible after
the return of peace.
Sincerely yours,
"W. G. MCADoo, Secretary. =
This is a splendid plea for patriotism
and the citizens of Mineral Point will
not be found lacking in any degree
whatever. But hasn't there been I'M
necessary delay? 1t is several years
since the appropriation was made, and
we see no plausible reason why the
construction of the building wasn't
completed several moons before war

Six inches OF snow-the heaviest fall
thus far OF the present wuter-the
weather man promises Wilmington be-
fore the end Of the day.
More than three inches OF thick
flakes, which began to descend at an
early morning hour, carpeted the city
streets at o'clock with every indioa-
ton Of an indefinite continuation OF
the storm that already hompered rail-
road and trolley transportation In and
about the city.
Only the low velocity OF the wind
a noreaster blowing eight miles an
hour-and the comparatively minimum
temperature Of II degrees at 8 o'clock
prevented the storm from falling into
the category Of a blizzard.
The heaviest previous snowfall for
the winter was three inches on Friday
last, when the city was enyelOped in
freak blanket Of white that was pure

There was nothing local about the
prevailing storm, however, it having
been swept In upon the city and its
environs from the southwest, being r.
