ton, such as cannot possibly be done or
any other day
a. Railway equipment using gasoline
s. Repair outfits employed by telephone
and public service companies
6. Motor vehicles on errands of ex-
IRENE necessity WHICH cannot be done on
any other day, where transportation by
steam or electricity or horsepower is not
available. This refers to ersands caused
by sickness or death, or similar situa-
tions.
Taxicab owners should not use their
cars on Sunday, except on errands caused
by sickness or death, or similar situa-
tions, or where it is too far to walk and
no other means of transportation is pos
sible. Gasoline is the life blood OF the
struggle in France, and taxi owners
should not attempt to coin the blood OF
our American soldiers into money by
running on Sunday
The spirit of the presidents request in
regard to going to church on Sunday is
this.
That our people either use street cars
or walk to church, unless the distance IS
so fas as to make it beyond their strength
or use buggy or farm wagon. Hundreds
of patriotic people all over Tennessee
ratified to church on last Sunday in the
old farm wagon for God and country.
They were Christians for SO doing. If it
is too far to walk, even by using due
energy, and no other means is available,
and the conscience of the churchgoer
iustifes. the auto maybe used.
Idesire that our people attend church,
but expect them to reach church in TIE
way God-fearing patriotic people
should do, in this hour of gasoline search
ty.
Yours very truly,
w E MYER,
u S Fuel Administrator for Tennessee.

field equipment, paraded thru the
streets of Montgomery last Wednes-
day in honor of registration day.
An awful crowd massed around
the Capitol building and streets
witnessed the affair. Red Cross
nurses and men who registered on
the 18th also took part. An Infan-
try Regiment, under the new table
of organization, is somewhat larger
now than it was few years ago,
and makes a big showing on parade
All us boys feel sure that we're
yoin' to win this war and are hop
ing it won't end till we get there,
because we wish to get swat at
the Kaiser too.
Ross Williams and Edd Gums
