close, but there are still sssus
weeks left for canning. There Is .
shortage of sugar, but the Food Ad-
ministration is taking sugar from
less essential industries and diverting
it to canning. But even when there
is not enough sugar for canning we
should can without sugar. Sugar Of
ten spoils the natural flavors Of
fruit. We also should dry fruit. Tho
Food Administration Is doing all it
can to save tin. Non essentials are
not being allowed to have tin because
It is needed for making cans.
But in spite of all the government
can do there will be a shortage Of
canned goods next winter. Unless
you can your own goods you may DO
forced to pay extra high prices for
such food.
My motto is, save everything for
winter that l do not need now. Just
come around and take a look at my
storehouse. Usually I do not brag
about my stores, for the crows OF
other robbers might find where I had
concealed my winter goods, but for
the sake Of winning the war I am
willing to inform you that I am saw
ing right now and am filling my
store rooms.
Yours for success,

able Proposition, They Say.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-The attitude of
mine operators toward the settlement
of the coal strike proposed by the
government remained in doubt today.
DIR. c. F. Honnold. secretary of the
Illinois operators. said the operators
knew nothing of the plan proposed to
the miners by Attorney General Pal
mer, that they had not been consulted
regarding the projected settlement,
and that he could not predict the
probable attitude of the mine employ
ers.
The operators were ready to accept
any settlement within reason, how
ever. he said
Honnold was out of the city today.
There were indications the operators
organization will be in touch with de-
velopments at Indianapoli while the
miners chiefs are in session.
George w. Reed. fuel dictator for
the northwest region. worked today to
perfect the machinery for putting
Doctor Garfield's order of last night
cial word.
Be Three Day Week.
The three day week was looked upon
for averting the suffering which would
ensue if 400,0 men in Chicago were
deprived of work by the complete shut
down of non-essential industries.
Reed made it plain that non-essen-
tial industries not on the government
priority list could only operate, how
ever, providing they were supplied
with sufficient coal to last them thru
the shortage.
The regional fuel committee can
not release coal to non-essentials," he
said. "All that we can do is to au-
thorize the public utilities companies
to furnish power to such industries" !"
Reed said the machinery of the
railroad administration would be en-
ployed to spread the new ruling thru
the northwest region as the formal
order was received here.
within two hours of the receipt of
the order, the new restrictions will be
in force from Chicago to the Pacific
he said.
A virtual embargo on shipment OF
all products but coal in open cars was
in effect in the northwest region to-
day. Sand. stone. lumber. cement and
other products of like nature were
placed under the. shipping ban and
cars employed in this class Of ship
ping were being held for release to

KEEP SCHOOLS CLOSED
VIII Not Reopen Until Jan. at Least,
Board Decides.

DNNASNo'
City schools, both grade and high,
will remain closed until January 5, in
accordance with action taken by the
board of education Monday night.
Sixty tons of coal still held by the
schools will be turned over to p. w.
Griggs. county poor coinmissioper. AS
most of this coal is slack it cannot be
used for home heating, but will be
turned over to the court house and
other public buildings and they will
exchange it for coal that can be used
in stoves and furnaces. In this way it
will help materially.
A committee from the Lowman Hill
school, headed by Homer B. Fink and
J. D. Gossett, appeared before the
school board in support of plan for
improvements.
New teachers appointed by the
board to fill vacancies caused by resig-
nations were Miss Addie Lowden, pri-

abandoned action on the Fall resolu
ton to request President Wilson to
sever diplomatic relations with Mex
leo upon receipt of a letter from the

however. that altho the committee

as the state department is concerned
and accumulation of data on the case

how the release of Jenkins came

II Jenkins's release was not in re-

If any one can reconcile the idea of a
more than middle aged and quite homely
man forever winning the prettiest girl in
cast, then the latest William S. Hart Art
is a good picture. The reason, however.
that the winning of the girl by the homely
man is so noticeable is due. TO the fact
that Hart has broken away from western
atmosphere and gets into store clothes and
evening dress in this picture.
OF course there nre undoubtedly a lot Of
old fellows in the world who look at
pictures and approve this sort Of thing.
That is natural because 1t flatters their
vanity, and they like to picture themselves

spousible for the direction of the tale.
The story is an interesting one, but Hart
meled to get the best efforts out of his

eligible to social honors only in that atmos-
