 INDUSTRIES WILL
 NOT BE AFFECTED

It is believed that the new coal restrictions will not injuriously affect Bridgeport industries. The restrio- lions which include a reduction to three days a week in non-esse ntial industries and the shutting off of light in offices. at 1 o'clock, apply only to those factories and offices which are obliged to apply to the Fuel Administration for coal.
 It is understood that there is enough coal, both hard and soft, In this city to supply all wants until such time as mining is resumed and it will be unnecessary to call on the Fuel Administration for help.

DEALING WITH THE KAISER

In effect, M. Clemenceau says
that the allies propose to dispose
Of the former kaiser and such of
his subordinates as they may Sc
lect, according as it may seem
best to them. This is perfectly
proper, even if it is not legal. The
only wrong possible in this proce-
dure would be the attempt to give
it an air of legality which it can
not possess. In dealing with the
former kaiser the allies may prop
erly use amy formalities they
choose, and if these formalities
coincide with those of legal
trial the propriety is not lessen
ed. They have placed their de-
cision to dispose Of the kaiser be-
yond any reproach. Seattle Post

well known that Europe turned
to South America and Australia
for beef and lamb as soon as
shipping conditions permitted.
England and Italy are now buy

awaiting market on our farms
and ranges must, therefore, find
it's outlet not overseas but at
home.
In 1918, for the first time in
many years, the production Of
meat animals gained ground in
the losing race with growth of
population. This was made posi-
bic by the earnest and patriotic
efforts Of our livestock producers,
and unless beef and lamb con
sumption is now increased to its
potential maximum, without need
less waste, we are in danger Of
throwing away the advance we
have made under war pressure.

TO MEET SITUATION.

With meat prices to the consul
mer so high that he is denying
himself and with the prices for
livestock, especially beef and
lambs, so low to the producer
that he is actually losing money,
the nation is confronted with a
grave problem which requires so
luton il we are not to suffer Il
decline in the livestock industry.
says the agricultural department.
1t is an anomalous situation.
The department has endeavored
to inform itself on the subject
and after conference with sena-
tors and members Of the house
who represent livestock produc-
ing regions and who also feel
deep concern for the welfare of
consumers, deems it important to
give to the public certain out
standing facts, which may be sum
maj iHtn 40 lOllOWN
There is no longer need for
meat conservation. The supply is
plentiful, and patriotic citizens
may freely disregard the meat
saving placards which are still
displayed at many eating places.
Europe needs our surplus pork,
but is filling its beef requirements
by importations from South
America and Australia. Prices of
beef cattle have fallen sharply
since March ! ON account of the
stoppage Of exports for army use
and slack demand for beef at
home, due to the continuation of
beef conservation under the mis-
taken idea that such conservation
IS still necessary to feed the peo-
pie OF Europe. Beef producers
and lamb producers who sell their
products at this time, are con
fronted with the danger of heavy |
financial losses which would tend |
to restrict production and cause
serious shortage IN future. !
The war is over In little i
while the presence of American
soldiers in Europe will be a mem
ory of noble sacrifices We must
not forget that the principal use
for the beef which we shipped
overseas in such quantity was for
the men in uniform. Europe
short of food though it is, does
not need beef from America
so much as it neds our pork. The
stocks of cattle in the most of
Europe have not suffered serious
ly in numbers during the war. In
deed, outside the areas actually
oyerrun by contending armies,
cattle stocks have fairly held
their own and in some cases even
increased Stocks of hogs and
sheep have suffered much more Sc
verely than have cattle. 1t is also

His Life Adventurous

Alex DunStan, who was recently
conveyed to. the county hospital,
had lived alone for 20 years in his
cabin ON Weston mountain, He was
a veteran prospector and miner and
is said to have made several for
tunes. One of his mines he is re-
ported to have sold fol $4,000,
Liberal to fault, he soon got rid
of this money. in the prodigal and
free-hearted manner of the golden
West.
MIR. Dunstan was educated for
the priesthood. but the frock and
breviary did not appeal to his ad-
venturous disposition. When sew
enteen years old he came to New
York City from Scotland, his native
land, and went 10 work in bank.
He soon drifted west and rode pony
express in Nevada and California.
Later, when engaged in mining, he
was captured by hostile Indians.
Finding favor with their chief, he
was carried with the tribe for five
or six months and finally permitted
to go back TO his mine uninjured.
On one occasion Mr.. Dunstan
lived on tallow candles six weeks
while his partner went to Sacra-
mento after grub. When the cans
dies were gone he came out Of the
hills and found his partner at a
gaming table.
So fan as known he had only one
IA daughter living in San
Francisco. Even she has not been
heard from since the great earth
quake and fire.
A kindly and generous old gen
tleman, Mr.. Dunstan is well re-
garded throughout the mountain
He is so years old.
