SENATORS D. AGREE
WITH VI KERSHAN

Washington Nov 2s-The assertion
made by former Attorney -Generat
Wickersaam in his NeNv York speech
that Vice President Marshall should
succeed to tho duties of President viii
son while the latter Is away, excited
cons derahle comment among senators
today. The suggestion did not take
any of the senator's by surprise, for
the question has been one or general
discussion among members Of congress
ever since the president announced
that he intended to make the trim.
Senator's found themselves unable to
agree with Mr. Netherlands opinion.
Those who yielded to the request for
opinions on the matter were unanimous
in view that no contingency might
arise which would make it Imperative
upon the vice. president 70 assume tho
presidents functions. Their study Of
the constitutional requirements of the
presidents office has convinced them
that not only is il permissible for the
president to leave the country. but that
it is not incumbent upon him to make
any provision for the carry ing on of
his duties while he is away,

RESTRICT Use.
Of GASOLINE

The United States Fuel Administra-
ton, thru Mark L. Requa, director of
the Oil Division, today issued the fol-
lowing statement in regard to gaso-
lene:
CUP to the present time there has
been sufficient supply Of gasolene to
meet all requirements, but in order to
be prepared for any shortage, should
it arise, plans are being considered by
the Oil Division of the Fuel Admins
tration, in cooperation with the auto
mobile industry and the National Pc
troleum War Service Committee, for
the purpose Of determining the most
satisfactory method of gasolene con-
Fservation.
ut is not expected in any event that
it will be necessary to restrict normal
consumption for freight vehicles, and
provided there is a reasonable con-
servation by all concerned, it may not
be necessary to seriously interfere
with pleasure cars and motor. boats.
ut must be borne in mind, however,
that the paramount use for gasolene
is for war purposes, all of which re-
quirements will be supplied. The vol
ume Of this will largely govern the
situation
ut seems possible that rational con-
%servation by the public will render the
Government action unnecessary"
SCOT is a waster. One One-hun-
dredth inch of SCOT is as hard to heat
through as ten inches of iron.
War economy of coal and money de-
mands that the interiors of stoves and
furnaces be cleaned.
Instant action on SCOT is needed
The cleanup should not be put off un-
til fall. It should begin now.
When fires r going regularly the
cleaning should be done every two or
three weeks. The SCOT layer forms
fast and the greatest amount of heat
from the smallest amount of coal can
be obtained only if SCOT is extermin-
lated.
The householder who insists on a
sootless policy will protect his pocket
book, his family, his fellow man and
his country. Coal shortage threatens

She is a young woman, adopted by a

In Missouri Valley FIFTY Years

Sunday, June 9, 1913, marked
the 5Oth anniversary of the arrival
of j. w. Harris in Missouri VAL
ley. He proceeded at once to open
the first print shop in the town,
and started the Harrisonian for
his father, the late D. M. Harris.
Less than $50 people were here
then. OF these Jack recalls j. D.
Brown, j. j. Sullivan, Frank Da-
Wis and j. C. Galley.
Only one or two stores and.
a score of residences were visible
when he arrived. Logan was un-
thought of. A cornfield surround
ed the town. We doubt if any
other foreman-printer has been
so long on one job as Jack has on
the Times, nor been more faithful
to the office. The news is glad TO
congratulate him on arriving At
the 5Oth milestone of his rest
dence here and hopes he will be
on deck at least another decade,
which is not an improbability as
he can yet turn out more work
than any man that ever came III
contact with him.--News.

We have had some heavy rains
that washed out another railway
line and for about a week we
handled the freight for both lines
and it kept us going day and
night, but right now the business
is down to about normal and we
are getting breathing spell
again, the other line having been
repaired.
Remember me TO all and tell
them to write even if they don't
hear from me because perhaps
there are a lot of letters that
never get to them.
Be sure and tell me about
Harvey.
With best love and regards to
all, am your loving son,
Corp. U. c. Fox.
