INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
CLOSED FOR FIVE DAYS.
The Next Ten Mondays to Be Holi-
days.-Drastic Order of Fuel
Administrator.

At midnight Thursday night all in
also Minnesota and Louisiana, except
ing forty-three specified plants engag-
ed in vital war work, closed down and
will remain closed until Tuesday at
midnight. This includes the Pleasant
vile factories. The larger shipbuild-
ing and powder and munition compa-
MES were excepted.
The Garfield curtailment order, more
drastic than anything the Government
has eve issued since America entered
war, was officially signed and issued in
the teeth of a resolution passed a few
moments before by the Senate, deman-
ding postponement. At the same time,
Garfield, backed to the limit by Presi-
dent Wilson, issued a statement defen-
ding the action taken. 1t is estimated
that between five and ten million wor-
kers, earning between SIS, 900, 900 and
$1,000 900 a day in wages, will be af-
fected.
Both Garfield and Gompers appealed
to the employers not to curtail the wa
ges of these men, but to pay them over
the period. A total loss of between
81, 500, 00O, 900 and 81, ESQ, O00, 900 in wa
ges and production values combined
was predicted in the debate.
In addition, all stores excepting
those selling foods and drugs will close
every Monday, beginning next Monday
and ending March 18th.
Liquor establishments cannot burn
fuel on Mondays. One view is they
must close; another is they may re-
main open provided they do not burn
coal.
Theatrical men seem to think the
fredericksburg order will be modified,
but will obey order pending decision
on appeal made at Washington.
City and county public buildings will
remain open Mondays, but office build
ings will close.
Hotels not affected, but hotel bars
are in doubt.
Schools will close on Mondays.
Banks will not close.
Coal dealers look for accumulation
of reserve supply which will eliminate
future worries.

LIBERTY BREAD.

(From the New Jersey Division of the
Woman's Committee of Council of
National Defense.)
Liberty Bread is that which con-
tains 500 of a wheat substitute in its
composition. Whole wheat and gra-
ham bread, although using more of the
whole grain and being more whole
some, do not release wheat and are not
therefore, Liberty Breads.
While u young men are going out
to fight for their country every coop
Grafton should be given at home.
Wheat, meat and coal must be saved.
White bread should disappear from Il
tables and shops. The home poultry
yard should be a patriotic duty to ave
meat. Only the parts of a house in
actual use should be heated or lighted
and we should begin to plan a co-ope-
rative use of buildings for meetings
and cooperative l~aundries, canning
and cooking.

opened on Thursday morning, having

COUNTY PLANTERS FEAR
OYSTER BUSINESS RUINED

Oyster planters in the County are
fearful that the continued cold wealth
er and ice will result d~isastrously for
their business.
we cannot be sure that the oysters
have escaped until after the weather
gets BETTER" remarked Fraley Dough-
ty, one of the big planters. "Since
carly in December, when the first
froe7e set in, there has been little
work done on the beds and further
more, there have been but few oysters
tonged. There is no way to avoid dam
age" he said.

praise Of the determination OF a our people to press

Happily there is no doubt anywhere OF The spirit Of
our people in this contest Whatever Of delay there has

the national need and 10 tho national desire, Congress
has readily and freely made grants Of funds and power
to the executive such neither this country nor

Whether proper use has been made Of those funds
and Of that power s quite another queston-and one

sMAII nEAsON FoR CONGRATULATIONS.

Q ENATOR SIMMONS consratuates the country upon
- It's healthy financial condition. Our war expenditures
for our first year Of lighting he have fallen below
tho estimates by about nve billion dollars, while the
revenues from the new taxes promise to be billion
above what was expected from them. He thinks no new
loan VIII be needed prior 10 the election and be is gen
orally optimistic over the nscal situation.
Indeed there are some good reasons for his con-
gatulatory mood but they do not rest In the emphasis
which he puts upon the fact that The expenditures
have fallen below the estimates In the newspaper
and on tho same page where we read the Senator's
optimistic interview we found also Washington despatch
which tells that the ordnance program, like the air
craft program has fallen behind the Administrations
PROMISES that there has yet been no appreoable
quantity production OF machine guns Of the Browning
type and that the output OF heavy field guns is by no
means what the country has been repeatedly assured II
would be.
OF course II guns not being produced they 40
not have to be paid forand in this fact lies the ex-
planaon for what Senator Simmons proclaims with so
much compacency, namely that we are not spending
money as fast as we had thought we should
And by the same token, are not getting ready 10
do our duty in the war as fast thought we should
The two things go together You cannot make an
omelet without breaking eggs you cannot prepare Tor
war without spending money
Which Is better for the nation-to spend money and
to be ready to make successfully or to save money
and let the drag ont
