CHANGERS AT C. OF C.
Farmers Organization Met in Business
Mems Quarters Today at Noon.

For the first time in the history of
the Pomona grange of Shawnee coun-
ty the representative of the subordi-
nate oranges named the Chamber of
Commerce rooms as the official meet
ing place of the Pomona grange for
the meeting held today. Representa-
tives of number of the subordinate
oranges gathered at the G. of c. this
noon for luncheon, Immediately after
wards going into executive session in
the big reception room for the pur-
pose of electing a master for the Po-
mona grange for 1918, and to attend
to some details of the inner business
of the grange.
The meeting today is probably a
foster child of the numerous invita-
tons to the oranges given out by
Charles L. Mitchell during the closing
weeks of his term as president of the
Chamber of Commerce. An effort will
be made to make the Chamber of
Commerce kind of city home for the
farmers OF the county when in the

public spirited and patriotic action of
employers in the state who may deter
ployes during the suspension period
specified? They are bearing their
share of the sacrifice which we are
called upon to make for the common
good"
Saw Mills and Munition Plants.
All saw mills working on ship con-
tracts were added today to the in
creasIng list of exemptions under the
Garfield industrial suspension order.
The fuel administration made this
exemption at the request of the ship
ping board
The war department estimated to-
day that the ordnance bureau alone
had asked exemptions from the fuel
order for five hundred factories which
it considers vita.-to war work. Under
an agreement between Secretary of
War Baker and Fuel Administrator
Garfield, industries which the war de-
partment designates essential will
be freed. All of these have not been
made public.
Concession to Theaters.
An order permitting theaters and
other amusements to operate on Mon
days and close on some other day next
week was made today. Numerous pro-
tests have been made to the fuel adj
Ininistration against closing these on
days when millions of workers will be
idle. The belize is growing that they
must be given legitimate recreation on
the voorhees, Mondays.
1t was definitely ruled today that
all laundries are exempt from the clos
ing order on Mondays as well as dur
ing the five days closing period.

ignored. The delegates had never
heard Secretary Pihet complain of
overwork and. more than that it was
firmly believed that the creation of an
advisory editorial committee was a
scheme originating from w. D. Ross.
Recommendation that the Teacher be
kept out of politics was regarded as
camouf1age, and the advisory commit
tee was seen as an instrument to
open the columns of the publication to
the Ross political policies. The Of
fensive against the scheme was fast
and furious. The teachers probably

lowed a resolution condemning to-
bacco for soldiers to be ''railroaded'

that further individual idea would

Realizing Majority Against Bolsheviki,

The constituent assembly, according
to a proclamation issued by the revo-
lutionary government last March, will
issue fundamental laws, guaranteeing
the country the immutable rights of
equality and liberty
Failure to issue a call for elections
to the assembly was one of the causes
contributing to the downfall of the
kerensky government. The Bolshe-
wiki government issued a call for elecS
tons soon after the success of the re-
volt of last November. The elections
were completed early in December.

progress was made. The results of
the elections were unfavorable to the
Bolsheviki element, the Social revo-
lut.onists, of which party former Pre-
mier kerensky is a member, gaining
the greatest number of delegates. A
number of Constitutional Democrat
delegates to the assembly were ar
rested early in December by the Boil
sheviki, who have been reported to
be using various measures to gain con-
troll of the assembly even going so far
as to call special elections to replace
opponents of their ideas
A dispatch to the London Daily
News from Petrograd on January Is

the assembly would contain a majority

vious day the Social revolutionists had

one of the strongest in Russia.

The political propaganda offensive
will continue in an effort to sway rus
STA and Austria to the allied side, but
the more important thing-men and

the Teuton military party's plans.
Addition of new men is intended to
thwart Germany's dream of smashing
the west front. And if she can be
hurled back then. officials believe, her
tune will change and her people will
no longer brook the military party s

urgent. however. This is manifest
from Lloyd Georges utterances and
from urgent appeals of Colonel
House to America to speed her send
