SEND FLAGS TO
SOLDIERS GRAVES
U. D. C. AND D. A. r. TO HONOR
MEMORY OF MEN WHO
DIE IN SERVICE.

Mrs. Birdie A. owen, president OF
the Tennessee Division of the United
Daughters Of the Confederacy, and
Mrs. Thos. Polk, state regent Of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, both of jackson, have suggested
fitting memorial to each man from
Tennessee who dies in the service Of
his country during the war. These
distinctly patriotic organizations feel
that in some uniform manner they
should pay loving respect to the mem
DRY of each boy who dies in the SER
vice of his country. So the following
request has been issued by the ex-
ecutive officers of the organizations:
1--WE ask that each Chapter Presi-
dent of the U. ID. G. appoint a com
mittee to send Confederate Battle
Flag, size 9x15 inches, to the funeral
of every boy in her town and county,
and that each chapter regent of the
d. A. r. follow the same plan, send
ing a United States Flag of the same
dimensions.
These flags can be purchased alta
very reasonable rate from Anness and

Chapter Presidents will please ask
their local undertakers to inform them
of each funeral.

WOOD IS UNDER
SAME BAN AS
that OF COAL
USE OF THIS FUEL Is PROHIBIT
ED ON MONDAYS BY SPECIFIC
BUSINESS HOUSES.
ADMINISTRATOR MYERS ORDER
All Fuel Questions Must be Taken
Direct to County Administrator
Suggests Fewer Open Hours Every
Day Remainder of Winter.

Wood has been put under the same
ban on Mondays as that which applies
to coal, according to letter from
State Fuel Administrator Myer re-
ceived this morning by County Fuel
Administrator w. f. Anderson. Mr.
Myer also suggests that merchants
and business men generally conserve
coal during the remainder Of the win
ter by keeping open fewer hours
every day in the week.
The fuel situation in Columbia is no
longer critical, but another cold wave
would create a serious situation. Mon
day closing it is believed will save a
large quantity of coal and wood In
this city.
Mr.. Myers letter. which Admins
traitor Anderson urges every business
man to read, follows:
"As you well know | have been al
lowing special privileges in the burn
ing of wood because / felt that if our
people could be brought to realize that
wood was actually obtainable, and
that it was practical to burn it and
thus save COAL it would be a great
object lesson to the nation.
"The burning Of wood during the
last ten days in every section Of the
state has shown our people that this
could be done, and that a great saw
Ing 81 coal could thus be- brought
about. J.
that this spbject Il lesson has
Fbeehf given our people, Dr." Garfield
orders that the same ban be put on
wood as formerly has been put on
coal.
beginning With Monday, January
2Sth, the burning of wood is placed
under the same restrictions as the
| burning Of coal and othersfuel.F
wherever the closing regulations
do not allow the burning of coal,s wood
can no longer be used in its place..
."Your people must take up all their
fuel questions direct with you, and
they must NOT send them to me. II
they send them direct to me it Will
only cause waste of time because 1t
will all be referred back to you.
IL would suggest that you request
the merchants all over your county to
mutually agree on keeping open a
fewer number Of hours during the win
| ter. This has been done in many
counties in the state and has resulted
not only in saving fuel, but in giving
the merchants and their employees
more hours Of rest and recreation.
"You have no authority to com
mand this to be done, but appeal to
your merchants, through you, to dc
this in aid to their country.
Candies, cigars and soft drinks can
not be sold on closed Mondays.
Automobiles and motor vehicles OF
all kinds are considered as coming un
der the head of Public Utilities In
keeping with this ruling garages will
be allowed to remain open, but auto
mobiles cannot be sold
'Horse-shoeing is allowed.
CDR. Garfield urges that no attemp
be made to make up time lost by thu
closing. by working overtime on thu
open days. Nothing would be gained
by closing under such circumstances.
