Death of D. A. George.

News received here Wednesday
morning from Roswell, New Mex,
announced the death of d. A. George,
a former citizen of Union City, and
for many years one of our well known
business men. Mr.. Ben Bramham
came home last week from Roswell,
where he had been to visit Mr.. George
and family, and reported that Mr..
George would probably be able to re-
turn to Union City in February. The
death was therefore unexpected. Mr..
George was brother of Mr.. John
George, this city, and Mrs. Mollie
George Adams, Florida. He was
prominently associated with much of
Union City's business, church and
civic affairs for many years. He was
member of the Christian Church.

 Getting no response to his question. the meter man repeated it several times then began poking the man, saying q don't like to disturb you, but will you tell where the electric light meter is?" Becoming impa- tient the inspector put his f1ashlight on the mans face.
 He discovered that he had been talking to corpse. It was the body of Louis Kilkinski, who committed suicide by hanging in the plant of the Bridgeport Crucible Co.,, Knowlton street, yesterday.

SAVE -FOUR BY USE OF
 POTATOES
Four Pounds of Vege- table to One Pound of Wheat Temper
 ary Plan.

Hartford, Feb. 6 - Potatoes have come to the front as a substitute for wheat flour in an official sense. State Food Ad- ministrator Robert Scoville or dered that wheat flour should be sold only on a 5O-5O basis, naming a list of substitutes. Mr. Scoville, because of local conditions and the scarcity of substitutes, made temporary modification to a SO-20 basis.
 Today he issued the following:
 "On and after Thursday, Feb. ', the percentage of substitute to be sold with wheat four is increased so that hereafter an equal amount of such substitute must be sold with all wheat flour. Permission has. been obtained from the United States food admins tration at Washington to add white potatoes to the list of substitutes on the basis of four pounds of potatoes to one pound of wheat flour. The use of potatoes as a substitute is temporary measure and will be withdrawn as soon as additional official substitutes become available. Potatoes on the above basis are the only exception to the official list of substitutes furnish ed in the Connecticut rules of Jan. 2S."
 Simultaneous with the foregoing an nouncement MT. Scoville sent to wholesalers copy of his statement together with a form of certificate which wholesalers may accept as evi- dence that the purchaser has obtained the required per centage of potatoes To county agents of farm bureaus, middlemen and others interested, MT. Scoville will send the press notice and special warning against increasing the present price of potatoes.

 DAMAGE|N
 JAIL FIRE
Prisoners Quiet As Indi- ana RefOrmatOry Is Destroyed By
 Flames.

Jeffersonville, Ind, Feb. G. Five of the 13 buildings in the group comprising the Indiana State Reformatory were de- stroyed by fire here early to- day, with an estimated loss of $1 100000. Twelve hundred eighty-five prisoners, in cell houses and dormitories, were marshalled in orderly array and assembled in the quad rangle. At the word of com mand they quietly marched to the institutional school build ing, 200 yards away from the fire, where they were placed under guard. None tried to es- cape.
 The blaze was discovered shortly after midnight in the trade school building Tn the department IdI5ely devoted to the making of fibre chairs and is believed to have been caused by crossed electric wires.
 With the destruction of the dining room, kitchen and food supply the prison authorities today faced the problem of feeding the prisoners. On the authority of a member of the board of trustees packing firms, bakers and other like institutions in Louisville were communicated with before the fire had been gotten under control and supplies were ordered. Col. w. H. Hart, U. s. A., solved the problem of preparing the food by offering to lend army field kitchens from the supply at the quartermaster depot here. Other arrangements in- cluded plans to erect a temporary dormitory to house the prisoners for a temporary dining room.
 Fifty-four sailors from the Ameri- can fleet in Louisville, on furlough assisted in fighting the fire, and made plans to relieve the prison guards at Intervals until other arrangements are made for the care of the prison in- mates
