HEATLESS MONDAY
 PROGRAMME ENDED
Will Be Resumed Only in Case Severe Weather
 Makes it Necessary

Washington. February, 13.-Suspension of the heatless Monday programme in the east was announced today by Fuel Administrator Garfield with the reserva- tion that it may be put back into force before the 10 weeks period expires if a return of bad weather brings another breakdown in railroad transportation.
 At the same time Dr. Garfield gives state fuel administrators. full authority to continue the closing order in terri tory under their Jurisdiction if. in their opinion, circumstances demand it. Aside from New England. it was said there was little probability that it would re- main in force anywhere.
 The heatless Mondays were decreed by the fuel administration on Janu- ary IT and four have been observed in all states east of the Mississippi except those south of Virginia The order was enforced in the south on three Mondays. but was lifted there last week A pref erential coal distribution list established by the order remains in force as does the section providing for the orders en- forcement. Fuel administration officials believe that preferential distribution, to- gether with continued operation of rail- road embargoes by Director General Me Adoo. will meet the fuel problem unless there is a return of extremely bad weather

SHIPS SUNK THREE
 TIMES FASTER THAN
 BUILT DURING 1917
Much Different Report, However, is Expected to Be Shown For the
 Present Year

Washington, February 13.-Ship tonnage sunk by submarines in 1917 was nearly three times as great as the total of pro- duction in the United States and Great Britain during that year.
 This was disclosed today by the an- nouncement of Andrew Bonar Law, chan eellor of the exchequer in the British House of Commons that Great Britain produced only 1.163,474 tons of shipping last year. The output in the United States was sol ,22S tons. total combined tonnage of 2,0s4,697. while sinkings by submarines last year generally are reck- oned at 6oOO,OOo tons
 While complete figures on construction in Japan, Italy, France and other na- tions in 1917 are not yet available, off cials here do not, believe their aggre- gate equalled that of the United States If that is the case submarine sinkings more than doubled all new tonnage pro- duced.
 Both American and British officials ex- pect very different story in 1918. how ever. The United States and Great Britain are speeding up their building programmes and naval officials of both countries have confidently predicted that the submarine will be curbed this summer. Secretary Daniels believes that effectual results will be obtained in the early summer. Admiral Sir John R. Jel- licoe, former chief of the British naval staff, recently predicted that by next August it could be said that the sub marine menace is killed" However he predicted dark months before that time.

GREENSBORO

Greensboro, February 13.-(Specialo Hale County Farming Demonstrator E.
 R. Jamieson has just completed his list for nitrate of soda from the United States government and sent in his order. MT. Jamieson is efficient, his methods thoroughly up-to-date, and he is using his best efforts to persuade farmers to plant abundantIy of foodstuffs. Cotton acreage in Hale, it is estimated, will be increased one-third over that of last year, though leading farmers and land owners are trying to hold down the acreage in favor of large food crops.
 Wheat of this section. though some what injured by the severe weather, is recuperating, and it is thought the dam- age done was inconsiderable. Farmers are taking advantage of these first spring days, and blowing is going for ward with rush.
 Farm lands of this section are in great demand. and a number of substantial men from several states, especially from Kentucky and Tennessee have bought farms and located in Hale county dur ing the last few weeks.
 These men, with their families, will live on the farms, and this influx of thrifty farmers will no doubt begin an era of prosperity in this locality, akin to the years prior to the civil war when farmers were the 'lords of creation," and the old plantations" beautiful to behold

 burg and other river points serve to be- cloud otherwise hopeful prospects. That the recurrence of recent heavy shrinkage or iron and steel output is not to be risked under present conditions of na- tion stress is shown by preventive steps being taken at Washington. Proposal is resembling consideration to exempt raw and finished iron and steel materials from all railroad embargoes in future
 What the recent interruptions of pro- duction have meant may be drawn from steel ingot loss in January, which was at annual rate of over 100000 tons. com pared with December, and 12,000,000 tons. against November according to offf3ial tabulations. Events of pig iron marAet show steady trend toward condition of serious shortage. Problem Of how all re- quirements of steel making iron are to be satisfied is likely to become acute not long after the works get down to normal operations again. Recent sharp slump in production has aggravated sit- uation various producers are in. That situation has got beyond their control and it will be incumbent upon government to exercise more vigorous regulation Q buying and distribution.
