GARF|ELD'S STOP ORDER
IS ENDORSED LOCALLY
Fuel Administrator Would Cut
Off Profits and Save Life;
Local Merchant Voices
Sentiment

Locally, the order of Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield in closing business in
tie East for five days and declaring
ton Monday holidays meets with ia
vcf.
One merchant voiced the sentiment
of a score this morning when he said;
in war time stress what our gov
eminent does is right. Out here We
have not the slightest idea of the suf-
fering in the East due to cold and
lack of fuel And worse STILL is the
railway tie up. The big factories
have grabbed the cars and are holding
tfem. As long as the rail congestion
continues, merchants in the west can
get no cars to haul their goods. The
Garfield order will clear the tracks
so to speak. OF course, millions in
wages will be lost but there is conso-
lation in knowing that fuel will be
saved to the homes and the tenements
ard people will not freeze to death.
The action of the senate in trying
/ to hold up the Garfield order is look
! ed upon as Providence move-that

Will set in within the next few days
thereby automatically removing the
cause Of the Garfield order.

THE PINCH OF WAR

Washington Jan 1S-America felt
the pinch of war, perhaps for the first
time today with its industries hanging
idle under the fuel administrations
order issued to relieve the local short
age and release fuel for ships loaded
with supplies for the American army
and the allies.
In the face OF protests predicting
disastrous consequences and formal
request from the senate to stay its
execution temporarily the order last
night was signed by Administrator
Garfield with the approval Of Presi-
dent Wilson
AS sent to state fuel administrators
the order contained but few changes
from the form of the abstract made
public Wednesday nor did it clear up
to any great extent the confusion re-
sutling from its lack Of detailed in
depreciation.
BY its provisions manufacturing
plants east of the Mississippi and in
Louisiana and Minnesota with rare
exceptions will be closed for five days
beginning today and all business ac-
lively will be stoppt1 ON every Mon
day for period of ten weeks begin
ming January 21.

THE value of reading aloud to

" he value OF reading aloud to a
child cannot be overestimated.
- In the first place, it establishes
delightful comradeship between
parent and child. 1t builds lasting
foundation of common interest and
mutual understanding. The child
associates with the face and the
voice of his sire much of the dignity
and poetry of the book he has heard
read. He infers that his father has
something of the quality of the au-
thor, and he carries with him a
grateful memory of the busy man
who laid aside his large affairs in
order to give pleasure to a small
boy.
A fathers voice can vitalize the
printed page to his son even before
the son can comprehend the writ
ten words. / commenced reading
aloud to my daughters before they
could understand the spoken words
for the reason that the very music
of the ballad or the drift of the
story enthralled them. 1t was good
to see them strive to comprehend.
