WRECK AT KERRVILLE

A wreck occurred on the Illinois
Central railroad just south of Kerr
vile, about $50 O'Clock Monday eve
ming. Just as south-bound pickup"
No. 1856 was leaving that place a
broken rail caused a derailment of
five cars and the overturning of
five.
All were coal cars with the eXcep-
ton of an oil tank. Both the east
and west tracks of the road were
blocked until 7 o'clock on the fellow
ing morning, and the track was torn
up for distance OF at least 100
yards.
The south-bound passenger trains
No. 105 and No. 1-were unable
to get by the wreck, and many Of the
passengers remained over here for
the night, some of them sitting up
in the station and some going to
the hotels. Passengers on the trains
out from Memphis Monday evening
and night, including several Coving-
tonians were obliged to keep their
seats on the train near the scene of
the wreck, and reached Covington
about s O'Clock on the following
morning, some looking like the
morning after the night before not
having closed their eyes In sleep DUR
ing the night.

FEBRUARY II LAST DAY
FOR SOLDIERS INSURANCE

Millions of dollars Of government
insurance is being bought by the SOL
diers at Camp Jackson, Columbia,
S. G.
Realizing that February IL, 1918
is the last day, soldiers are buying
insurance at an unprecedented rate
$24, 03,000.00 has been applied for
in one week, and the total amount
sold up to January 26, 1918, is $104,-
5O1,OO0.OO.
Lieut.. David H. Fuller, division in
surance officer, reports that the cam
paign to insure every man at Camp
jackson is we'll under way, and that
over 70 per cent Of the entire divi-
sion is insured, and that every ef-
fort is being put forth by every Of
ficer in the command to reach the
remaining 80 per cent before the last
day arrives.
The proposition put before the sol
diers is so fair, so reasonable and so
American that relatives and friends
of every soldier in this camp should
see that the man in the service is
fully insured to the maximum amount
of 100000. This can be done cas-
lily, for if soldier finds that he is
unable to pay the premiums, any pa
rent, relative or friend can pay the
premiums for him by sending check
each month or each year to the Blu
reau of War Risk Insurance, Wash
ington, d. G. Should there be any
doubt about the payments Of these
premiums, information may be had
by writing to the Insurance Officer,
81st Division, Camp Jackson, S. C.
Talks at the different Y. M. C.
AS. are made almost every night in
the interest of government insurance
Posters large and small, bearing in
large letters, the following words:
"Protect Yourself and tne Folks at
Home" "Buy Uncle Cams Insur-
ance," Safety First," Ensure With
Uncle Sam Now" "Apply Now, Be-
fore 1t Is Too Late" are seen every
where in street cars, post exchanges
bill boards, Y. M. C. AS, drug stores
and at all public gathering places
NV 1901 40 UCAHB 1CAt uHbuIHCu w BCi
all our boys insured.
But nothing helps like letter from
the folks back home, telling the boy
that they believe in this insurance
Every day letters are received from
soldiers mothers and fathers asking
if their boys have taken out insur-
ance. "a 100 per cent Division" is
the slogan Of the Insurance officers
and almost every day several com
panies cross the safety line and place
their outfit in the 100 per cent col
umn, with every man insured. The
number of companies being added
to the "honor roll" is increasing rap
idlv, and viii increase every day as
February IL draws nearer.
There are but few days left II
which the men in. service may apply
for this insurance. Quick action Il
necessary on the part Of the home
folks if they Gre to influence thu
soldier.

REGULATIONS ISSUED BY
LOCAL FOOD ADMINISTRATOR

For the purpose of calling the at
tention Of the merchants and people
generally to the rules and regulations
of the u S. Food Administration
published in the daily and county pa
pers from time to time, and fearing
that in great many cases they have
not been given very serious thought
or consideration, I have deemed it
advisable to call your attention to
the following rules and regulations,
which you are required to obey to
the letter.
Sugar.
Sugar should be sold in towns and
cities to consumers in two to five
pound quantities; to farm and ru-
raj consumers in five to 10 pound
quantities.
Flour.
Flour in towns and cities should be
sold in eighth to quarter barrel guam
titles; in rural and farm commune
ties in quarter to half barrel quaint
ties; those wishing to use their own
corn can take it TO the mill and have
it ground and take a certificate from
the miller for the amount Of meal
and present it to the merchant, and
he can purchase an equal amount of
flour up to one-half barrel provided
he agrees to use this meal for human
food
Advertising.
Any advertisements tending to in
duce customers to increase their pur-
chases of flour or sugar during the
present national crisis are decidedly
against the public policy. This inform
alton has already been given licens-
ees with the further suggestion to
the press that they censor their adj
vertising.
Any retailer violating the above
rules, upon being reported to the U.
is. Food Administration, will have
his future supply from the whole
salers and jobbers cut off, and his Ii
cense revoked,
want to call the attention Of the
good housewives to the wheatless and
meatless days rs suggested by Inc
food administration. MONDAYS and
Wednesdays are the wheatless DAYS
and one wheatless meal everv dav
Tuesday is the meatless day Satny.
day IS the porkiess day and one meat
less meal every day AT these meat
less times you can use any kinds If
meat except beef, mutton and pork.
! hope that husbands and heads If
homes will cooperate with their wives
in carrying out this program. and
when you think "Oh, must have INV
meat and biscuit" stop and think
again about our boys and our allies
over yonder" who are fighting our
battles and risEing their lives to win
the great war for us who may have
to GO without on account Of Us not
making this little sacrifice.
Thanking you in advance for your
hearty cooperation, / remain

ONE.THIRD WOOD FOR FUEL

O1NE KllMO WOOD 1t0AS OA]AA
A dispatch from Nashville under
date Of February 5, says that State
Fuel Administrator Myer6on that day
reiterated his statement made in
Memphis Monday that it is his pur-
pose little later to order consum-
ers of coal to take one-third or one
half of their needs in wood.
81 have been consulting level head
ed patriotic men from every county
in Tennessee" said Mr.. Myer, "and
they are unanimous in recommending
that our people begin actively to get
wood. They believe it is entirely
practicable. This getting in Of wood
has already been tried in small
way in Nashville, and in large way
in many Of the other towns Of the
State. The towns that got this wood
had no suffering at the time, but
many other towns suffered from acute
coal faniines.
Encouraged by this successful use
Of wood, and by the advice Of the
best men in the State am insist
ing that every farmer and town and
city in the State take active and
bnsiness-like steps to get in wood.
AS soon as a reasonable supply Of
wood is secured it is my purpose to
require all purchasers Of zeal to take
one-third or one-haf OF their require
ments in wood
