All Electric Signs May Be
Cut Off During The War

the lightless night order, E. P. Owen.
Jr, chairman of the local fuel COM
mittee, who has given special atten-
ton to its enforcement in Jackson
son vile, said: IF the wisdom of DR..
Garfeld's DEGREES that the order shall
be extended no objection will be in
terposed in Jacksonville In only
one instance did we approach
breakers in carrying out the order.
One dealer could not understand how
few lights over the sidewalk could
be serious violation. He knows
now and consequently not only avoid.
ed arrest but avoided having all his
lights cut off every night. The fuel
administration has the power to
keep men from having any lights if
they are so unpatriotic as to will
ingly violate the order, and this too
in addition to the heavy penalty pro-
vided by the federal statute known
as the Lever act. Superflous light
ing resulting in such waste Of fuel
in times of war when the govern
ment needs the coal is inexcusably
wrong and it is not only my duty but
a great pleasure for me to aid in the
rigid enforcement of DR.. Garfeld's
order.lt has been most gratifying to
the members Of the local committee
to find such ready patriotic re-
spouse on the part of the people gen.
orally We all know that Admins
traitor Williams in his important pa
triotic service wants all orders en-
forced without fear or favor. We
appreciate the sacrifices he has and
is willing to make for his country in
giving direction to the work in Flor
ida and 1t is pleasing to his co-work-
ers to know that in every necessary
movement we make in harmonizing
with the orders issued we have his
unqualified support and patriotic en-
dorsement.

London, Feb, 27.-Because Scotch
fishermen will not go fishing on Sun
days, the choice of Tuesday as Lon
don's official meatless day is declared
by London fish dealers to be an off
cial blunder. The dealers say that
the public, unable to buy meat or
Tuesdays, will try to make good the
deficiency with fish. At this season
Of the year the major part of Lon
don's fish supply comes from Scot
land. For the reason that Scotch
fishermen won't fish on Sundays
there is no fish from Scotland here
on Mondays. The fish caught BY
Scotch fishermen on Mondays gel
here too late for London's consump
ton on Tuesdays.
