STORE
WHEN THE ]; sun
SETS, IS PLAN
District Fuel Administrator
Griffith Gives Sugges-
ton His Approval.

1t was said today that while the To-
cal fuel situation is not exactly des-
perate. citizens should realize that
there is much suffering elsewhere in
consequence of widespread a short
age. and that the utmost efforts
should be exerted for the purpose Of
saving coal. In this. manner, it was
the federal fuel administration would
be complied with in a most literal
sense. :
So it was suggested that during the
months of February n March all
stores close at sunset or, at least. at
such an hour when no light other
than daylight would be necessary for
the carrying on of business.
The chief objection to the plan APP
peared to be the inability of many
people to do their shopping during
the hours of the day, but 1t was
pointed out that his class is only a
small minority. .
On the other hand. many tons of
0Uol could be saved each month by
all stores agreeing to close for BUSH
at sunset.
Griffith Thinks Plan Good.
r. B. Griffith. district fuel admin
i%strator, said today that steps toward
such a general saving already had
been taken by several stores which
had agreed to close their business at
$3.50 each afternoon during January
and February. with the exception of
Saturday evening.
The more recent suggestion to have
all stores close at sunset, MIR. Griffith
said. would be certain to meet with
the approval of the federal authors
ties. and he felt quite safe in say
ing that the arrangement would prove
to be a hardship to very few people.

MAY TAKE OFF
TRAIN NO. 4
Federal Policy May Make
Cancellation of Train from
the West Necessary.

1t was reported today that the
Great Northern passenger train. No.
1, arriving here at noon from the
west and departing for Minneapolis
and st. Paul at 1850, would be cam
celled in accordance with the policy
established by the federal railroad adj
ministrator. William McAdoo.
Inquiries at h local dispatcher's
officed elected the information that
orders to that effect have not been re-
ceived, but it was cautiously added
that such orders come with pretty
short notice, and hat there was no
way OF telling long in advance wheth!!
err Or not schedules were to be seri,
oos!..' affected by federal orders.
Announcements from St. Paul in
dictate that several of the trains trav-
to be cancelled as soon as such a
owe is considered practicable, but
details of any kind have not been
made public.
If No. 4 is to be cancelled, it is sup
posed that a general REIMBURSEMENT of
existing schedules will be the neces-
sary consequence. r
In regard to the movement of
freight cars. it appears that no furth-
instructions are to the effect that no
freight cars are to be left standing
idle on the tracks or in station yards,
and that movement of such cars must
be facilitated as 500 as possible in
order to relieve a situation which is
becoming daily more and more press
ing, especially in the east.
The orders given by the federal
railroad administration are based NOT
only on the fact that cars are needed
for the transportation of fuel, but also
take into consideration that all avail
able cars are. urgently needed for
transportating food and war materials
from the interior parts Of the coun-
try to the port for shipping to the co
belligerents of the United States as
we'll as to the American expedition
airy forces now in Europe.
Well, anyhow, our War Department
has a picture of a prospective ma
chine gun that is a perfect dandy!

PAINT CAR POLES
Signs Will Tell Where Street
Cars Stop.
Little Saving Thru New Sys-
tenn, Patten Asserts.

For the convenience of the public
that patronizes the street cars, the
Street Railway company is having the
poles along its lines painted and let
tered to indicate the places where the
stops are made. since the skip-stop
plan was put into operation.
At points where stops are made, the
poles will be banded with three stripes,
with a white center stripe. The words
car stops" will be printed on the
bands. At former stopping points
where no stops are now made, the
poles will be banded with two stripes
of black with a white center stripe,
and 1ettered with the words: Cars
do not stop here. Take car at next
corner"
No Saving So Far.
When asked this morning about
what saving was being made by the
skip-stop system. Albert Patten, the
company's manager, said:
There is no perceptible saving in
it is so slight that it practically
amounts to nothing, and the saving in
time also is negligible. The closing of
some of the business houses down
town on account of the epidemic, how
ever, makes this a poor time to test a
new system. We may find, when we
begin to handle larger crowds, that a
considerable saving is being effected.
The plan is in operation, of course, by
order of the fuel administration, and
not by any scheme of ours"
Keep Car Windows Open.
AS a means of protection against

ON LIBERTY DAY
Today Expected To Be Big One
for Loan.
"Flu" Stops Many Parades
and Celebrations.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Set aside as
Liberty day. in a proclamation is
sued by President Wilson, today was
expected to be marked by a great out
pouring of subscriptions to the fourth
liberty loan. BY virtue of being also
Discovery day, it was a legal holiday
in many states and in others was OBJ
served in recognition of the presi-
dents proclamation.
Altho plans for the holding of pa
rades, mass meetings, pageants and
other celebrations largely were aban-
doned because of the influenza cpl
demic, house-to-house canvassing and
personal appeals were expected by
campaign officials to make today the
high point in the drive toward the six
billion dollar goal.
Subscriptions to the loan reported
on the eve OF Liberty day were 81
269,S76,200, which is less in COMPARE
at a similar period in any previous
campaign. With a big jump in total
subscriptions expected to result from
today's activities, treasury officials
were optimistic. However, they re-
garded today as the critical day in the
campaign.
Reports received from all of the
twelve federal reserve districts indi-
Gated extensive preparations had been
made to give every person an oppor-
tunity to buy not only bonds but more
bonds. Double your subscriptions u
was the motto for the days celebra-
ton in many communities.
President Wilson observed the day
by reviewing a great Liberty day pa
rade in New York. Secretary McAdoo
was expected to deliver an address in
Chicago, one of the few addresses he
will deliver during the campaign.
In Washington all departments and
H., IL -
clerks assisted in the canvass for sub
scriptions.
