WARTIME COAL
RATlONINC IS
AGAIN in FORCE

Washington, Dec. War re-
stretons on the consumption OF coal
have been ordered into effect for the
period of the present strike emerg-
ency.
Fuel Administrator Garfield, acting
in conjunction with the railroad ad-
mnistraticn, announced that only in
dustries included In the first five
classes of the priority list established
during the war will be furnished coal,
and that public utilities will be asked
to discontinue furnishing power, heat
and Iiuht to non essential industries.
The industries to which coal will
be furnished will be railroads, coast
wise and inland shipping, army and
navy and other government depart
ments, state and county departments
and institutions, public utilities in
cIudInu newspapers, and retail dealers
SURVIVING household consumers.
State and local authorities. DR..
Garfield said. will be asked TO CO.
operate. thouah the rati0ning of coal
will be done through the regional coal
committees set up by the railroad
administration.
Railroad administration officials
conceded that the application OF the
order would mean an industrial shut
down of considerable magnitude, but
declined to undertake a definite esti-
mate. Industrial establishments op-
Grating from their own power plants,
it was said, probably would have to
stop when their present. coal supply
became exhausted.
Industries operating on power sup
pied by public utilities companies
NAV continue operation unless the
management of the public utility com
panies supplying them and the local
authorities rule that they were non-
essential. For the present the rail-
road administration will not attempt
to lay down a rule as to what is an
essential industry.

to a rather spectacular close day OF
conferences and public activities of dele
gates to their state conventions which
will be held here Tuesday TO indorse
party candidates for president and to
nominate candidates for federal and
state offices.
Told Him 1t Was No Use.
The Washington senator at the OUT
set Of his address, declared that leading
South Dakota republicans had told him
1T was useless" for him to attempt TO
bring his candidacy before the republican
convention, because the republican
delegates were overwhelmingly IN favor
of Major General Wood.
He discussed portion Of the
and indorsing statute which
declares that candidates indorsed for
office by proposal conventions should
discuss issues involved with any other
candidate. or candidates. who seek the
office as independents. In this connec-
ton. he suggested that as General Wood
is considered certain Of Endorsement. he
was ready 10 return to South Dakota
to discuss presidential issues with the
major general should Wood become an
avowed candidate for president.
Asks Wood What He Stands for.

work for four hours, but considered only
minor bills requiring unanimous consent.
Can't Deliver This Message.
The presidents message. which is to
be read separately in the senate and
house, went to the printer and is ex-
pected TO be brief. Mr.. Wilson's illness
prevents its delivery in person and also
caused slight change IN the opening
program, Instead of appointing com
mittees TO wait on the president the
senate and house sent their committees
to Mr. Wilson notifying him of the
new session The note was delivered to
Secretary Tumulty. who replied that the
president would transmit his message
Tuesday.
There were no outward developme ents
regarding future disposition of the Ger
man peace treaty. and leaders were iii
formed that the president probably will
not discuss it in his message. Il was
understood that upon re- submitting the
treaty, the president will send a special
message TO the senate.
Take Up Auti-Strike Bill.
Senator Lodge. the republican leader
and chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee. said he hoped soon
to press his resolution to declare the

The senate will begin consideration Of
important legislation Tuesday, when il
takes up the Cummins railroad bill

DOWNS HOG CHOLERA

How Kansas through scientific
treatment, conquered the hog cholera
an undertaking in which the Sun
flower State was recognized as a pio-
neer-was told by J. c. Mohler, secre-
tary of the Kansas State Board of
Agriculture in an address before the
National Association of State Com
missioners and Secretaries of Agri-
culture held in Chicago last Monday
1t was pointed out by Mohler that
in former years hog cholera wiped
out herd after herd of Kansas hogs.
1t has been estimated by agricultural
authorities that losses from the dis
ease in a single year in the United
States have amounted to 5000, 900.
Secretary Mohler said in part:
"Under a cooperative arrangement
with the federal bureau of animal
industry and the State Agricultural
College conferred about the states live
stock canitary commissioner, very de-
cidd Roadway has been made in con-
trolling hog cholera in Kansas, even
to the extent that many now believe
it to be possible to practically elimin-
ate this dread disease entirely. The
significance of this may be the bett.E
appreciated when it is understood that
hog cholera is about the only bar to
profitable pork production"

NEW RULING ON ARMY
INSURANCE

The following is recent ruling
made by the Director of the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance, and with the
approval of the Secretary of the
Treasury, provides more liberal con-
ditions for reinstatement of lapsed or
cancelled insurance, and is more i'm
portant to the ex-service men than
any before published:
'EThe provisions of Treasury De-
cision No. At, allowing eighteen
months from the date of discharge for
re-ins atement upon payment of only
two months premiums on the amount
of insurance to be re-instated, are re-
tanned The decision is 1ibera1ized,
however, by new provision that men
out of the service are permitted to be
reinstated by merely paying the two
months premiums without making a
statement to health at any time
within three calendar months follow
ing month of discharge.
After the three months following
the date of discharge have elapsed,
statement from the applicant to the
effect that he is in good health as
at the date of discharge or at the ex-
piration of the grace period, which
ever is the latter date, will be requir-
ed together with written application
for Reinstatement and the tender of
two months premiums on the amount
of insurance he wishes to reinstate.
In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has lapsed or
been cancelled, fair chance to re-
instate their insurance, including men
who have been out of the service
eighteen months or more, and who are
therefore barred from re-ins ia tenn nt
md he
blanket ruling is made which allows
all eX-service men to re-instate their
insurance before December 81, 1919,
provided that each applicant is in as
good health at date of discharge or
at expira ton of the grace period
which ever it is necessary that he ten
der the two months pernniums on the
amount of insurance he wishes to re-
instate.
Service men who reinstated their
insurance by paying all back pre-
miums prior to July 25, 1919, when
the decision requiring payment of
only two months premiums went into
effect, upon written application to the
Bureau may have any premiums paid
IN excess of two applied toward the
payment of future premiums For ex-
ample, if after the policy had lapsed
Tor SIX months, a man reinStated and
paid six months premiums instead Of
two, he may secure credit for four
months premiums.
The provisions for reinsta tenn ent
do not protect man until he actually
re-ins tates. If he waits he may not be
IN as good health as he was at the
time of discharge and consequently
may not be able to secure reinstas t.
ment.''
