II was to bo expected that a dras tic order such as that of last week when Fuel Administrator Garfield stipulated thal all manufacturing plants and places of business should close for a period ol' live days, ami observe one day onch week thereaf ter, for a period of ten weeks, as a non-productive day, in which no fuel shall he used, would bring forth a storm of protest. Ami that, is what happened, tho protests coming from individuals, corporations, business bodies, and finding not a few violent protesters among Hie members of Congress, in both bra nc hos, lint the storm ijiiiekly subsided, and Ameri can business and the American Con gress have practically united In sub mitting to tho inconvenience and the losses Incident to the carrying out ol t lie order. A new order of Illings is in vogue In tho United states to-day, and wo are being brough) tu a realization of the fat t (lint our country is really at war. Tho future holds In store for all of us things that we had never even thought possible in our repub lic. This because we had never thought that II world-war was star ing us in the lace. There is but one it hon .-'lit now one aim and end in view and thal is t ho salvation of our country and I hu countries of our allies from tho iron bool of Prussian militai ism. Our people, in every walk of life, must hold themselves in readiness to meet tho peculiar .situations as they arise. Tiloso in authority have ni their command tho cold facts thal demand new meas ures, drastic measures at limes measures that under normal condi tions of peace would be intolerable! to freedom-loving Americans, and tn the tldoyirdsiviv.lon bl affairs tb-;. I ire ft r ing >|S ned oui interests in ? i ?.ie ! t rying mid di Ilea?.> ^i t.?ij. > ion. j j. .v....)... ob? il loni o lu war mensures should bo the height of our endeav ors. "Curs not to reason why." That tho fuel conservation meas ures will work a hardship-have al ready done so. in fact -there is no denying. And yet this drastic meas ure luis in all probability averted hardships a hundred-fold greater that would have to come a little hitor- tn all probability a very little later. With munition, food and transport ships held in our ports because of lack of coal, the situation called for drastic remedial measures. Already one third of tho enforced idleness of ma chinery and closing of business places has passed, and no one is per manently harmed. Continuation un der conditions existing before the order became effective would un doubtedly have meant ruin to many Industries thal could not get coal and would have, meant decided ad vantage to those who might have had jill abundance of fuel to operate con tinuously while the less fortunate manufacturers and business people would have, of necessity closed for lengthy periods through inability to secure fuel with which to operate. This li rsl. drastic measures that has come should teach us a lesson of constant readiness to obey. That there will bo other hardships to bear before the war is won it would lie folly to doubt. We may all rest as sured of Olio thing, however, and that is thal there will he no hard ship imposed timi the situation in which the government linds itself floes not Justify. lt has boon estimated thal the (.losing orders of the past week will conserve not le.-.s than thirty million tons ol' coal. This will enable the government to c arry on its necessary, essential war wovk. War is our busi ness as a nation to-day; Ibo little things we have in Ibo past consider ed vastly important malters of busi ness lia ve passed into t lie* class wit ii things of minor import. Thc sooner WO realize our national situation the better for all concerned, and tho sooner will ci nu that end so i>umost ly hoped for h> every true American - peace. Not :i pence thal wo and our allies could M t al any moment, but peace based on justice, reason and humanity. Thal is the end in view; no! bini; snort of that ls,what the, allied democracies of the world Will have from monarch-ridden Ger many and Austria-Hungary, the ava ricious I'.ulgnrian and Ibo unspeaka ble Turk. To thin .end the every in dividual and collective effort of the nation must ho put forth. A CHEAT WORKER. Ex-Pres Iden I Wm. Howard Taft will visit Camp Jackson, Columbia, Oil Wednesday of next week, January 80th, and his time will be engaged at the camp and in the city of Columbia until 5 o'clock Thursday. The plan is for tho Ex-president to speak twlco a day, his main theme to be "Tho Groat War." Mr. Taft ls an untiring worker for our country, and he ls doing a great work in stimulating patriotism and brea tilg enthusiasm for the stupend ous task that lies boforo tho Amerl can people. Between the 24th of January (to-morrow) and the 20th or February Mr .Taft Ia scheduled to ap (tear at each of the sixteen Nation al Army camps and dellvor his groat message to the thousands of men lu training for military service In Bu rope. - His example of patriotism and the laying aside of all partisan bias in this time of needed unty of purpose and acton IB a shining one. The men of truly largo calibre and sound prin ciple can always bo counted upon to do their part for the nation. Tho small mau howls much and counts party politics of greater importance than national safety. William Howard Taft ls as large of mental calibre as he is large of physique. We have not a few of our friends who, on entering The Courier office persistently leave the door open. We do not know if this ls duo to timid ity, but If there ls any fear whatso ever on tho part of any of these friends, wo hasten to assure them that, If thoy will only be careful to (dose tho door, we will never for a. moment think of laying against them a charge of interfering with the draft.

Fish and Blood and Potash Fertilizer Labor will be scarce this year unless there is a decided change, and that makes it necessary for you to fertilize heavily sp you can make full crops on the land you get cultivated. Farm products will bring good prices this year-prices that will justify you in fertilizing liberally-and while Potash is high, it will pay you to use some. You want good crops while prices are good. Three crops have been made without Potash, and now gray lands are needing it. and one per cent of Potash wili help the crops on red land. Potash ts a medicine. It wards off diseases and keeps the plants healthy and strong, and when a plant is healthy and strong it will grow and blossom and fruit and you'll have abundant crops. There is as much difference between a healthy plant and a sickly plant as there is between a healthy pig and a sickly pig, so far as profitable returns are concerned. Potash keeps your crops healthy, and healthy crops are the only ones that pay. Keep the crops healthy while the prices are good. Make good crops when crops arc worth something. Strike while the iron is hot. We have the Potash and don't you forget it. We have the Fish and Blood Fertilizer. When you get thc Fish and I Blood and Potash goods you get the best to be had in fertilizer. If you don't make a crop with that it will not be the fault of the fertilizer-for there is nothing better. And now, finally, when labor is scarce and high and prices for farm products are fine don't stint the fertilizer-make all you possibly can on the land you cultivate. Fish and Blood and Potash Goods may be thc solution of your farming troubles this year. We have the Fish and Blood and Potash goods.' They are for sale, Come to see us, You know whereto find us.
