TO THE CITIZENS OF NEWPORT:
 You are hereby notified to keep your place of business closed at all hours, except between the hours of 100 D. m. and p. m. until further notified.
 This order applies to all business houses of every nature except HOTELS, RESTAURANTS, BAKER IFS, LAUNDRIES, TELEPHONE and TELEGRAPH EXCHANGES.
 The object of this order is to con- serve the coal supply, and all citizens are requested to cut down the coal consumption every way possible.
 This order is under the direction and order of the State Fuel Admins trator, and all persons who violate same will be punished to the full ex- tent of the law.
 THE ABOVE ORDER WILL GO INTO EFFECT TUESDAY, JANUR- AIRY 22, 1918.
 R. J. HUGULEY,
 Chairman, Fuel Com. Jackson Go. This January 21, 1918.
 The closing order was the result of a meeting of representative busi- ness men at the First National Bank this morning. The order does not become operative for the grocey stores until Wednesday. Grocery stores will be open all day tomorrow in order that orders for necessities may be filled, but other business con- cerns will not open their doors un- til 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, to close again at 5 o'clock.
 The only concerns exempt from the order are hotels, restaurants, bakeries, telephone and telegraph exchanges and laundries.
 Administrators Huguley's order has received the endorsement of the business men, who realize that the city is facing desperate conditions and that to conserve every ounce of fuel has become imperative. Back of the administrator is the United States Government, and any business man who violates the order will be promptly arrested and made subject Co indictment.
 There is practically no coal in New port. One dealer has some coal, which he will sell at cost. To this may be added 800 pounds of lump coal for each person when ship ment of the coal reaches here this afternoon or tonight.
 No real relief for the present situ- uation is looked for before two or three weeks elapse. The condition all over the country is similar. Everyone should conserve their fuel now. Even if if one has plenty of coal now, he should realize the necessity of con- servation, for when relief does come it can be better distributed among all the people.
