A Letter From The Fuel Committee.

To the Citizens of Jefferson County:
You have doubtless noticed in the
daily press the request of the United
States Fuel Administrator for the
saving of gasoline and also asking the
general public not to use gasoline on
Sunday, until further notice, except
in cases of absolute necessity.
In connection with this request, the
writer received a telegram from the
State Fuel Administrator of West Vir-
ginia, asking me to do all that could
to make this request a success, and to
notify the garages and request them
not to sell gasoline on Sunday, except
to doctors or in cases Of absolute ne
ceSSity.
There is very little use for automo-
biles on Sunday that cannot be avoided,
particularly at time like the present,
when there is great danger of short
age of gasoline for government uses
overseas, and it is the duty of every
patriotic citizen to deny himself the
pleasure that he derives from his ma
chine on Sunday, until we are notified
that ii is no longer necessary TO deny
ourselves.
| hope that the patriotic people of
Jefferson county observe this request
as carefully as possible, so that il will
not be necessary for the government
to issue an order regulating, the sale
of gasoline, thereby placing us in
bad light because we would not heed
their request.
Trusting that we may have the
hearty cooperation of all our citizens,
| am,

Cutting Down Travel.

There was mighty little automobile
travel last Sunday in this section. 1t is
true that the rainy day was dampener
on joy riding, but the people generally
seem willing to comply with the govern
ment's request to cut out all unneces-
sary use of automobiles on Sunday. A
good many persons are now dependent
on automobiles for going to church and
for the performance of necessary duties,
and there is no objection to such use of
cars. But unlimited joy riding will not
be tolerated, and those who are unpa-
triotic enough to resist the rules will get
into trouble.

No Sale For Wheat.

There is a complete blockade on
wheat at present, and no matter how
badly farmer may want to dispose of
his crop he cannot find market for it
now. The elevators at the seaboard
are full up, with but few ships to carry
the grain to Europe. The mills are
grinding comparatively little, for the
people are using a great deal of corn
bread instead of wheat -four. And the
local elevators are carrying more wheat
than they want, as it is impossible to
get rid of it, and interest and storage
are eating up the profits of their
business. Conditions are peculiar, and
no one seems to know just what the
outcome will be.

Very truly yours,
P. p. NELSON, Chairman,
County Fuel Committee.

A recent dispatch from Belington,
W. Va, says: A dispute over a $40
calf, which began over two years ago
and which during the litigation thus far
has cost $1,000, during which time the
calf has developed into COW, has gone
TO the Supreme Court OF the State
where it will cost at least $1,000 more.
The trouble began when j. D. Digman
claims to have bought the calf from
Mrs, Mary Watkins for $40, and when
he went for the animal Mrs. Watkins
raised the price. Digman sued and was
awarded the calf at $50. The ex-calf,
now cow, is still in Digman's posses
sion.

History Repeats Itself.

Editor Register-Have we gone back
over fifty years to first principles !?
In March, '6l, the people of Shepherds
town used to assemble every afternoon
at four O'Clock in the old Episcopal
Church to pray that the war might be
averted, if it could be done without dis
honor to the South. Ministers of the
different churches conducted the SER
vices. Now, in 1918, at noon the bell
calls all to ask blessing, safety and COM
fort for our men. Let US pray and be-
lieve and have faith strong enough to
wait for the answer.
