notifications of the industrial sus-
pension order were made today.
Many exemptions of industries &N
fected under the order have been
announced including 20 plants and
various other forms of business. The
state food administrators are au-
thorized to determine what indus

Wilson Behind Garfield.
President Wilson is standing
squarely behind Fuel Administrator
Garfield in his order for five day
suspension of certain industries In
the east
1t is officially stated that the pres.
ident win not revoke the order and
that he feels that within three weeks
the people will accept 1t as a vital
necessity
The administration feels that the
move will release the supply ship
ments in the American harbors and
enable the delivery of loaded coal
cars stalled on the tracks, to points
that arc suffering, and will clear tho
way for the industries to resume
normal operations after the suspen-
sion order has passed
Senate Cautious.
The spirit of the senate today was
to be cautious in the future of shear.
ing itself of powers or even giving
them to the president, leaders Of that
body declared.
This is the result of the fact that
the Garfield order was sent even
before the senate had time to vote
on its request" for o suspension of
the mandate. There is a prospect
for the modification Of certain pow
ers under the food control law.
The leaders plan to place limit
on all powers in the pending rail
road bill. Senators declare that the
coal issue has a tinge of autocracy
which we are fighting to dethrone.
Big Sacrifices.
American industry began today a
sacrifice of millions that the ma
tion railroad may release scores of
supply ships lying in harbors, was
the statement of Fuel Administrator
Garfield in defending his action, de-
spite the senate vote to delay the
order. It was declared necessary to
clear the piers and avoid further
congestion. threatening delay in the
shipment of supplies to France.
Administrator Garfield has accept
ed the full responsibility for the or.
der. Another avalanche Of protests
were received today, but there ap-
peared no likelihood Of modifica-
tion of the order
Officials cross-up.
Friends of the fuel administrator
say it was neseceary to help Secre-
tary McAdoo, director general of the
railways, out of the railroad tangle.
while Secretary McAdoos first
friends say that he had no knowledge
of the orders scope before it was
issued. Garfield says that it was
necessary to restrict manufacture to
save freight space, giving this as the
reason for issuing the order.

CHICKENS AND EGGS

An essential part Of the endeavor to
insure more chickens and eggs Is con-
tanned In the maxim-hatch early. Tho
farmer who Eatches early In the spring,
either by mediation or natural meth
DDS. seems 10 have nll the best Of the
argument. When chickens are Matched
early In the spring they mature in the
fall and lay eggs in the winter. Then,
In the spring, they are ready to hatch
early. Latc.hatched fowls are late in
maturing, do not lay In the winter,
and do not sit until late In the follow
ing spring.
