Like q clap Of thunder from
clear SLY came the order by Dr.
Garfield, the coal administrator
last Thursday that all uanufac-
turing plants should close down
for The five days next succeeding
and each Monday therea ter I'M
til March 18th, and that all stores
except those selling groceries
exclusively should close down on
these Mondays. This order was
drastic and so different from
anything the country had ever
known before that it was hard
to believe that such an order
could be made or that it was
necessary.
At first, like most others. we
were inclined to criticise the or
der and doubted very seriously
the wisdom of shutting off prac-
tically all industry for half a
month, and that, too, at a time
when the word had gone down
the line to speed up everything.
1t looked like step backwards,
and we, with others, could not
understand how a country so
big, so rich, and so great could
rush blindly into a condition
making so far-reaching an action
necessary to our wellbeing as a
country. But we knew that GER
tain men had been selected to
look after certain interests for
the whole people and among
them was DIR. Garfield to look
after the distribution Of fuel.
We could not believe he was
playing a huge joke. so we be-
gan to study the situation.
That night we read of people
actually freezing to death-one
in cur own state. It was also
reported that ships loaded, ready
to sail were tied up ID cur ports

carries the formal announcement
of Hon. Jeff Busby, of Houston,
as a candidate for Congress
from this the 4th Congressional
District. Jeff is a splendid
young man, full of energy and
sound to the core. He is brave,
honest and true. Wherever the
path of right seems to lead, he
dares to go. For six years he
has served this county as attor-
ney, and in this has proven his
worth as man and an officer.
He stands four-square with the
administration in matters per-
tanning to the war. In other
words, he believes with the con-
stitution that the executive de-
dartment of the government
should execute the laws while
Congress sees after their max
ing and the courts their explain
