PRESIDENT WON'T
INTERFERE With
FORCED HOLIDAYS


WASHINGTON Jan. l8-Prcsidcnt
Wilson is not considering interfering
with the drastic fuel order promul-
gated last night by DR. II. A. Garfield
iedetal fuel administrator, ordering the
closing OF all business cast OF the Mis-
sissppi river for a period OF five days
This was announced In an official
statement from the White House early
today President Wilson. it was said,
feels that the country will be satisfied
with its necessity
Order is Altered.
Next to this, the most outstanding
development OF the day, was the altera-
tion of the fuel order to admit q steel
plants to. continue to operate at 100 per-
cent capacity in iabricatng and manu-
featuring steel for the Emergency Fleet
corporation, which is building the new
American fleet of merchantmen.
Virtually all gun factories, powder
plants and she'll manufacturing con-
Germs were included in the exemption
order and we're operative as usual to
day.
In the meantimdandgnation grew in
congress over the fuel order, which
was particularly noticeable In the sen.
ate, since the fuel administrator had
ignored the Hitchcock resolution last
night to postpone putting the order in
to effect. Attacks on the fuel admin
stration also blazed up H the house
Will Clear Up Congestion.
II is understood that some additions
to the expected list will be made today
Meanwhile the fuel administration Is
concentrating its efforts in clearing uf
car congestion
From the flood of applications for
exemption pillnG in, it appeared that
WOODEN plants making cloth for sol
dierS' uniforms would receive favorable
action, probably by being added to the
list
One Ice Plant Can Operate
II was ordered today that only ont
icc-making plant may operate in any
one place. The exempted plant, how
ever. will be required to furnish il
product to the closed ice plants at pro-
| duction cost
When congress assembled at
tacks on the fuel restriction order

administration has ignored Its reso-

described themselves as being in a
state of "impotent indignation"

FIELDS BOOSTER

Lawson Fields, the poet-printer OF
Marietta, is distressed by the fewness
of the prospective candidates TOR tne
LEGISLATURE from Cobb County. Law
son runs a print shop, and the more
candidates there are for anything, the
more announcements and platforms
and declarations and discussions OF
these issues he has to print on his
8 by II, which as he modestly asserts
s'has printed more dope for success
full candidates than any other press
since Old Ben Franklin pocketed his
rule and laid down his stick, away
back in Seventeen Hundred ana
Something"
In his famous publication, The
Booster, Lawson urges a number OF
noble and worthy citizens of Cobb to
get in the going while the going is
good. Lawson plays no favorites. he
says:
"There's Old John Boston and Eph
Roberts. Boyd Moss and Bill Attaway,
Gordon Gam and Cam. Wallace, ).

ings hurt, gentlemen, if failed to IN
cIude YOU as good and available tim
Der; any of you will do, and | ike
you all. 49,, :,
"But. on account of your alfred
modesty, I'm going to help you out by
making one nomination, letting the
chips fall Gathering wheresoever they
wifi.
81 hereby, then, nominate Colonel
C. Marion Dobbs for one of the places
being made vacant by the retirement
of Coils. Cheney and Morris, the pres
ent incumbents.
"Know C. M, don't you? Pretty
clever sort of chap, | should say,
with sufficient mule in him to make
a conscientious gentleman from
Cobb" Got plenty sense too. Also
safe and sane is Marion. He has
never asked for political preferment,
and probably never will, unless his
friends do just as am doing and get
in behind him with sharp stick and
make him run. ! say, there are mo
fingree fixings and furbelows about
Dobbs. He's as plain as brogan shoes
and too honest ever to wax rich, and
too proud to let out yell when the
luck's against him. He smacks of the
soil, and would represent the farmer
as weIl as the town folk, except per-
haps leetle more so.
Lets bundle him up and ship him
on down to Atlanta next term and see
what he can do as part and parcel of
the notorious Georgia Legislature. F."
