Editor Virginian:
Sr-In my humble opinion you are
right in calling upon the health au-
thorities to rescind the order closing
the churches
There are thousands of people in
Richmond who feel a great loss at be-
ing Kept away from the Bible school
and church services on the Sabbath
and who see no valid reason for a
continuance of the ruling of the
health department.
The health authorities may pity the
ignorance of these thousands. but It
is fact worthy of note that the
health experts do not agree among
themselves on the steps to be taken.
In New York city. unless a contrary
ruling has been made since Sunday.
the health commissioner has refused
to close schools, churches and the
aires, even though there has been "A
persistent demand on the part of Ger.
tain citizens that such action be taken.
Yet New York has fewer cases of in
fuenza than many cities where every
thing is closed.
In my opinion. every resident of a
city The size of Richmond runs a risk
every day of catching influenza as he
walks the dusty streets, rides in
crowded street cars and goes about
his daily business
| am sure the health authorities
acted in good conscience when they
issued the closing order. but I oh
ject to an arbitrary continuance Of
this order. | wish to see the churches
reopened. the children back at school
and even the movies again doing bust

900 over the original damage.
The fiSures include The expense in
volvcd in getting "juice" back into

cal industries from being shut off
from power.
From the time of the fire at

neciing of the last wire in The in
stallation of three new transformers
Saturday the city was without power
during an actual twentyseven hours
and a few minutes over. With the
new transformers The city is really
better off than j was before the fire,
at least in so far as power is con-
cerned. There should be no further
interruptions in The power.
Reconnecting The city with power
cost the Holton Power Compasy $3.50
for labor alone. Three expert cleo
tricians from Riverside worked with

FARM CHECK-UP RADICAL STEP
BU. is Made Necessary by Present
 Acute SituatiOn, Says Lassater.

Details of the checking-up plan to ascertain what Arkansas farmers are doing in planting food and feed stuffs were announced yesterday by W. C. Lasse eter, director of the University Extension Division.
 The principal object of the cam paign, Mr. Lasseter says, is to induce as many farmers as possiD;e to sign the food pledge stating the amount of food and feed they will endeavor to raise. He says that no one need fear to sign the pledge caras if he is willing to support the government because no one expects any person to do more than he is capable of do- ing "Of course,' says Mir. Lasseter, "the plan undoubtedly will reveal the names of individu sls who are not pa triotic.
 He says that the South during the next year will face situation more critical than any since the Civil war.
 Having for many years depended upon other sections of the country to furnish it's food supplies and having built up a system of agriculture upon that as basis, the South this year finds transportation facilities of the country heavily overtaxet and faces a threatened shortage of food and feed stuffs needed to supply itself un- der the old system of agriculture" says MT. Lasseter. "If We are to be sure of supplies we must produce them.
 ITO be sure that Arkansas farm> CTS recognize the necessity of not be- coming drag upon others who will produce feed and food and to insure the nation that Arkansas will not be dependant upon supplies from the North, plan for placing the situa- tion before every one in Arkansas sanG for finding out exactly . where

This group of men included all of the agricultural agents doing statewide work The plan which has been sanctioned by Dr. W R. Dodson, representative of tine government in the campaign for in creased food production in the South, is as follows:
 The Checking-Up Plan,
 The county agent, the county food administrator and the chairman of tie County Council of Defense, supported by the state and natioua, organize will constitute the Loard Of Inspectors for food and feed pr oduction in each county in the state. Next Monday they will hold rally in the county seat towns and at that time select committee c representa- tive men to visit every school district in their county. T his committee will appoint an inspector in each school district and will confer the national authority upon these inspectors. There will be three inspectors in each school district These men With food pledge cards will canvas their districts and visit every farmer who will be given an opportunity to sign the food pledge, stating the amount of food and feed he will endeavor to produce this year in an effort to at least make himself independent of all others so far as these supplies are concerned Every man who signs the fooi pledge upon the recol lmendation of the com mittee will be given an honor card, which will designate his patriotic stand upon this question snd may be dis played at his home. Men who re> fuse to thus assist themselves and the st-te in this crisis will alSo be report ed and the action O. tn ecoanty, state and national boards in each case will be decided upon at lated time
 Is q Radical Step.
 This plan is undoubtedly the most far-reaching and thorough ever adopt ed in order to show our people the necessity of increased food produc- tion. However. with the demands of the national food administrator, the National Council of Defense and the Urited States Department of Agricul- ture, it remains for our people to do their best ''snd to fall into line quick ly.
 There is no escape We must raise our own supplies All busi- ness and professional men are urged to cooperate with the county boards of inspectors and any one who is farming does not need to have any fear for any reason in. signing the pledge if he is willing to support the government, because no one expects any person to do more than he is ca pable and in a position to do with the equipment on hand and necessity demands for his own safety"
