and more than twenty-five thousand
children participated In the campaign
Il is thought that practically every
shovel in the city was enlisted In. the
service of Uncle Sam. On each tag
was printed the following: Save this
shovel of coal for Uncle Sam" pu-
pills from each OF the city schools
carried the tags home with them and
asked their parents to comply with
the request OF the fuel administration.
Several of the girls and boys from
Binford Junior High school went to
the governors mansion and tied the
tag to the shovel that fires the execu-
tive home. Similarly the mayors

FIRE RUINS LARGE
TOBACCO WAREHOUSE

Especial to The Richmond virginian }
South Boston, Va, Jan. 30.---A disas-
trous IRE originating In the Independ-
ent warehouse here completely demol-
ished that building and destroyed a
large supply of tobacco and fertilizer
that was stored in 1t. About forty
eight head of horses and mules were
burned and one automobile was a total
loss
The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated from a lighted cigarette thrown
into pile of waste. The loss amount
ed to approximately $4,000. two
thirds of which was covered by insur-
ance. The concern will use the un-
occupied Big -Four warehouse and viii

Or. Cannon said that the national

out pay, is no large that the work must
needs be done by subcommittee: that
the secretaries who handle the boards
business and assign the pictures for
review by different subcommittee are
paid by the producers, who also pay
all the other expenses of the board.
The situation allows the secretaries

In closing. DIR. Cannon maintained
that the opponents of the original bill
had not made out case. He denied
enphatically the rumor which has
been spread that the censorship pro-

and have not heard of any; nor
have in mind anybody whom would

A DOUBLE-BARRELED RECORD

Mr.. Arthur Green of the Virginia
Paper Company, who was in town in
terviewing his trade today, wears a
service button with two stars on it.
The stars are for his two sons, Loren
A. and Ralph n, who have record
which is probably unique in the Am
erican army.
The two boys went thru the India
napolis high school side by side,
graduating the same day. They re-
peated this performance with unfail-
ing regularity with Butler College,
Ind, with the Memphis Hospital Col
lege, with postgraduate course in
Europe, another in Berlin (sorry they
didn't get a change to work on the
kaiser), and finally in Bellevue Hos
pital, New York. Both were privates
in the Indiana National Guard, then
then were promoted to lieutenancies,
receiving their commissioners on the
same day, repeating this experience
with their subsequent promotions to
captains and majors.
Major Loren A. Green is now mill
tary inspector of the division, at
tached to the headquarters staff at
Camp Wheeler, and his brother,
Major R. N. Green, is in command of
the sanitary work of Gen. Steiner's
brigade, at the same camp.
This is double-barreled record, as
well as good one, and we doubt
that it can be equaled.

COLORED SELECTS
OFF TO CAMP

Thirty-three stalwart young color
ed men, selected by the government
for service in the army, left on the
Coast Line train today for the train
ing camp at Camp Devens, Mass.
Their compatriots gave them a
great send-off, accompanying them
to the station with big parade, with
flags, banners and good band. The
station and vicinity was packed with
over thousand colored people; also,
there were many writes who went to
bid friends among the selects good
bye.
The selected men were in good
spirits and gave every indication of
living up to the motto on one of the
banners, "Jet Black and Won't Run. -
They were all well provided with
edibles by their friends and we I'M
derstand the Stars recommendation
was carried out by each being forti-
fed to meet the chill of northern
spring by good suit of wooden un-
derclothing.
Another party will leave tomor-
row and they also will have good
send-off.

WHERE DO WE LIVE?
In Marion County, the Heart of
Florida

Florida, formed something like a
boot, with the heel and sole marking
the southern boundary of Georgia
and most of Alabama, and the leg ex-
tending far down into the southern
seas, washed by the Atlantic on the
east and the Gulf of Mexico on the
west, furnishes the southernmost
reach of the United States. Now in
this peninsula that resembles a boot
somewhat, is Marion county, the
"heart of the state" with Ocala the
county seat, our good roads leading
from points north, south, east and
west, giving the farmer every advant-
age in getting crops to market. And
there is only one thing that is lack
ing, that is co-operation-our mer-
chants, our local organizations, our
farmers; in fact, every line of bust
ness, is in need of cooperation. We
have one of the best towns in the
state, best lands for truck, stock
raising, general farming and citrus
fruits in the state, but for this one
work "co-operation," we are not eff
cient. The Marion County Board of
Trade is pre-eminently an organiza-
ton for cooperation.
