The program will reach not only into
the large factories using thousands of

which will he ordered to cut down on
such things as the number OF electric
light bulbs in use.
Five elements will enter into the

surest, safest margin.
DR.. Garfield gave very definiss in
dication that conservation will be en-
forced at once. He said
'If we md the machine is working

fuel supply without waiting"
The fuel administration IL confront
ed, from month to month, with unex-
pected additions to former estimates
of fuel requirements, brought about by
the extensions of war factories almost
overnight. DIR. Garfield believes that
the certain shortage can be made up
only by the strictest curtailment. But
he made 1t quite clear that neighbor-

Among the Farmers
Continued from Page p

J. w. Grimes was up from Monroe Tuesday on business.
 J. H. Simpson of Allendale was in Brinkley Monday and Tuesday with some of those fine fancy Nancy Halls. He was accompanied by Farmer I. A. Rruton whom 1 hear is about to sell his pretty 70 acre farm to Hampton Bros.
 Rev. $. D. Sawyer of Fitz- hugh neighborhood, has a pretty new Ford touring car but as the bottom road" is closed he can't use it now.
 c. D. Patterson, manager or the Fiddyment Farms southeast of Brinkley, was in town yester- day. I asked him about his farm and he told me the good news of having just finished a nice new bungalow cottage, that his 72 head of cattle including 5 calves which he bought last Fall in Texas are doing nice. He ex- poets to go North soon to buy 2 car loads of steers for fattening. They tell me that Patterson IS doing we'll on the farm. I'm hoping and expecting to see that his community get together and DEMANDS a share of the Govern ment money in building a road down there. It is one of the richest farming sections in the state and with Patterson, Move, Guthrie, Everett, Ferguson, Hubbard, Saine and a few other such wheelhorses it looks to me that they would protect their in. terests and force the building o1 permanent roads.
