new. REGULATIONS
FOR AUTO BUSINESS
Supply and Repair Shops Close at 6 p.
M, Except Wednesdays and Satur-
days, When They Close at 10 p. M.
To Remain Closed on SUNDAYS.

w. Z. Powell attended a big meeting
or automobile men from six north
western states held at Minneapolis last
week to consider the new government
Wln-the-War regulations as affecting
the automobile industry. There we're
fully LOGO representatives present and
when resolution was presented
pledging to the War Industries Board
their cooperation in observing con-
servatlOn measures recommended by
the government, said resolution was
adopted unanimously amidst great en-
thuslasm. AS the government needs
skilled drivers and motor mechanics of
all kinds for conducting the war, it is
believed these may be obtained by cut
ting out unnecessary service and Sum
day work, and other economies, thus
releasing a large number Of men. Ac-
cOrdlng to the agreement of dealers in
automobiles and supplies, their places
OF business will close in country towns
at 3 p. M. every day, except on We'd
inesdays and Saturdays, on which days
the closing time shall be 10 p. m. The
reason for keeping open until ten two
evenings Of the week, is in order to ac-
comodate farmers who may not have
a chance to come to town for supplies
IN the day time. Garages may keep
open after the designated closing hours
for the, storage of cars only, but may
not sell gasoline or make sales or re-
pairs, except in case of emergency.
Physicians are exempted from these
restrictions when using cars in per-
forming their professional duties.
The new closing hours will be no
reaIinconvenience or hardship to auto
mobile owners, as gasoline and supplies
can be purchased in the day time just
as we'll as not. A respite from the
long. hours that garage and supply men
have been compelled heretofore to
spend in their places Of business, will
be welcome to them and their en-
ployees. -
" Let the motoring public cheerfully
comply with these regula tons and
thereby help out the government and
also make conditions more tolerable
for those engaged in the auto industry.

DESCRIPTION OF >a.->
CAMP WADSWORTH

Camp Wadsworth, S. c., the training
camp to which So Marshall county men
together with the 10000 Minnesotans>
called to the colors this month will be
sent, is said to be one of the best
camps in the country. Its sick rate
has been among the lowest since the
camp was established last year.
The original occupants of this camp
were units Of the New York National
G~ard but other organizations have
been assigned there since The units
now in camp include the Sixth divi-
sion of the regular army, and thirteen
skeletOniZed regiments of New York
and New England National Guard in
fantry The latter are waiting to be
filled by drafted men. It is believed
that an additional division will be
formed during the summer.
The camp is within sight of the IA
nous Blue Ridge mountains, the scene
Of hundreds Of published mountaineer
romances, and said to have harbored
the haunts Of "moonshiners'' in years

resort. This is a favorite visiting
place Of the khaki-clad men when they
have a few days leave of absence
No wooden barracks have been built,
the camp being known as tent camp,
but it is believed that barracks will be
erected later. Camp records show that
there has been less sickness in health
fuzzy situated tent camps during the
winter months than the camps where
the men are quartered in barracks.
Every state in the Union and all
branches Of army service are repre-
scented at this camp. There are reg
ulars National guardsmen and Nation
al army men in the same regiments,
and according to camp officers there
always has been perfect harmony be-
tween the various classes Of service.
Due to this fact the camp has become
known to army men as the melting
pot camp, and the experiment has
been watched with great deal of in
terest by the war department..
Extensive preparations are being
made for the reception Of the Mime
sofa men, and on their arrival they
will be put thru the receiving channels
and assigned to their quarters with the
minimum of delay and the maximum OF
efficiency.
Spartanburg, the county seat, and
the city nearest the camp, has been
thoroly organized by patriotic home
folks, and every effort has been, and is
being, made to give the men in uni
form an opportunity to experience a
little .home'' life during their train

SENATE COMMITTEE TO
PROBE COAL BOARDING

Stories that large amounts OF coal
have been boarded by wealthy resi-
dents for use in their houses while
the poor have suffered, are being
brought to the attention OF members
OF the Reed subcommittee OF the Sen.
ate, which Il investigating the coal
shortage.
One OF the members OF the sub
committee said today he had been
told OF case in which a wealthy
resident Of palatial home in the
fashionable northwest section had
accumulated fifty tons, while other
people were unable to get any.
A disposition has developed in the
subcommittee to go into this matter.
II will probably be done.
The subcommittee will meet tomor.

IL Below in 1880.

The official forecaster says:
"on January !. 1880, the tempera-
ture was 10 degrees below zero. The
following summer was the hottest in
the history Of Washington. There is
no reason to suspect that this season
will be like that of 1SSO-S1-at least
not yet The temperature is likely to
start rising tomorrow, and gradually
keep rising throughout the week. The
weather has been Is degrees below
normal throughout the year. The de-
fciency occurred mostly during the
last four months OF 1917. particularly
in the month of December The pres
ent cold wave came almost thirty
seven years to the day after the last
great December cold wave in 1880.
On February IS. 1899, ii was Is below
zero, the lowest temperature in the
history of the District of Columbia -

FUEL SITUATION TO
FORCE US. TO TAKE
COAL MINES SOON

Look out next for Government
operation and eventual ownership of
the mines, especially the coal mines.
That this will follow not remotely
on the heels Of Government operation
of the railroads is more and more the
talk in Congress. The movement may
, take concrete and definite form after
Congress reconvenes and before the
winter passes.
The grievous suffering OF thou
sands OF families in this country for
lack OF coal through the month Of
December has done something more
than cause sharp criticism of the fuel
/ administration. It has greatly in
creased the feeling among members
of Senate and House that radical
action is necessary.
GRrAeId May Move.
As q matter OF fact. the initial
steps toward Government ownership
of the coal mines may be taken by
the GARFIELD fuel administration.
They would have been taken before
now had Mr.. Garfield not chosen to
pursue a conservative course in han
ding the coal problem, a course
which has not proven adequate.
The law gives M GARFIELD full
power to- take over the coal at the
Tnouth OF the mines and distribute IL.
Such a plan would have obviated a
iot OF trouble over prices and. as
thoSe who advocate II insist, would
have resulted in lower figures for the
public
Q. Q. Operation Must Come.
Before the Reed subcommittee, Mr.
Garfeld admitted the public would
probably have to take over coal and
fuel
Advocates OF public handling of
coal and other fuel and public owner
fBhip OF the mines contend that the
Government operation OF the rail-
roads will accelerate the movement
for Government ownership of coal
mines greatly. For the Government
