ment and honor to yourselves" ~
Washington, Dec. S.-Despite the
fact that q settlement of the strike in
the bituminous coal fields appears pro-
bable within the next few days, the
Railroad Administration, acting as
agent for Fuel Administrator Garfield,
put into effect tonight, a mandatory
conservation order, more drastic in
some respects than any promulgated
during the war. The order applies on
ly to bituminous coal and coke and to
light heat and power made therefrom
and makes general for the whole ma
tion restrictions already in force in
sections which have been hit by the
shortage,
Under the provisions of the order
non-essential industries which receive
light, heat, and power from public
Ailities using bituminous coal or coke
will not be permitted to operate more
than three days a week, and those
which depend upon their own facilities
for such a service, must face the same
restrictions, unless they have suffi-
cient bituminous coal now stored to
tide them over the emergency. Other
features of the order include the shut
ting off of all ornamental or sadvertis.
ing, street lighting the closing of cab
arets, dance halls, pool halls and bowl
ing alleys after II p. m. the restrict
ion OF the use of light and heat in
stores, office buildings, and warehouses
except where the use is vital to the
public welfare, and the curtailment
of transportation facilities, both as
to the use of heat and schedules to be
maintained
No special mention is made in the
order of theatres. but it is understood
that local conditions must to a cer-
tain extent govern and that the use of
heat and light must be kept at mini
mum if theatres are permitted to re.
main open.
The order is general in scope, TAX
ing in all sections of the nation. No
statement was made tonight as to the
period it. might last. but it is under
stood that even in the most favorable
there can be little hope
of relief before the new year.

RICHARD DIRRIM KILLED
LIVED AT OHIO CITY

Mondays casualty list contains the
name of Richard V. Dirrim of Bed
rock, Colo. KILLED in action in
France. This will be sad news to
the friends and relatives of the young
man, who was brought up at Ohio
City. He was nephew of Mrs. b.
II. McLain and Mrs. J. S. Barnhill Of
Pitkin and of Tom Noble of Doyle.
Richard spent his school days at Ohio
City, graduated from the eighth
grade there and was pretty well ac-
quainted in other sections Of the coun-
ty. as he was pitcher of the Ohio City
base ball team when that mining camp
was flourishing. His parents moved
to the Paradox valley, and early in
the war Richard enlisted in the caval-
ry. It seems almost like reporting
the death of a Gunnison boy to record
that Of Richard who fell facing the
foe for his native land.

OPPOSE AX-GRINDING

Every publisher who has been in
thing thru the columns Of his paper,
will read with pleasure the following
from the Sentinel of Friend, Neb.
"A newspaper must not be expected
to fight personal battles for subscrib-
ers. Its influence must be used for
the people as a whole. Every week
some of our good friends ask US to
make somebody do something OF
course, we feel comuplimented when
We hear that a subscriber feels that
the paper is an important factor in
the community. But as to making
anybody do things, you have got the
wrong idea, brother. If we were to
take every complaint that comes to
US, editing the Sentinel would be too
warm job for US. Here are some Of
the latest questions:
"We wish you would go after the
stores because they stay open SO late
Saturday nights We wish you
would go after the City Council be-
cause the streets are not sprinkled
more frequently why don't you say
something about the people who run
their cars with the cut-out open?
why isn't the speed ordinance en-
forced?' why don't you expose
poker games?' why do nearby towns
pay more for grain than Friend?'
why don't so-an-so go to war? Why,
We could go on until this column Is
full. All these are mentioned kindly
in an effort to side-track some Of
them. OF course, we know that some
of them are asked in a joking manner,
but many people are in earnest and
become angry when the paper appears
without a word of their complaint.
Every citizen is part Of the city
government. Every citizen is q part
Of the national government and has .
right to make complaint and inquiry
to protect himself and in a way better
the government, but he must not ex-
peet q newspaper to flare up and
raise Cain with another citizen e-1 st
the same time protect the complainer
from publicity"
