Wants to Save Money. This means that where two offices have been maintained one wiii serve in the future. Tt is the purpose of Mr. Burleson to save mon?y wherever it is possible without stinting or crippling in any way the service. His programme calls for better communication facilities. It was announced today that the Post office Department will encourage the use of the long distance telephone. In order to do this the following order was sent out: "To enable the public to use the long distance or toll service facilities to the fullest extent, any telephone company not having such facilities but desiring them should make application therefor in writing to the Postmaster General, who will, if upon investigation it is found practicable to do so, order the connection established." ?

V V W "fC f. yr > * * < " I INCREASED DEMAND ^OR COTTON. Attention is called to the following statement made by Mr. Charles J. Brand, Chairman of the Committee on Cotton Distribution and Chief of the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agriculture, on November 14, announcing the Committee's action requiring the suspension of speculative "short" selling of cotton on the exchanges. It will be noted that the Cotton Committee, reflecting the views of the Department as well as of the cotton experts constituting the Committee, confidently expect an increase in volume of exports and consumption of cotton. "The signing of the armistice brings us suddenly to the threshold of the reconstruction era. Pending developments are of the utmost importance to the entire cotton world. "The consequences of unfounded rumors that tend to promote vicious speculative activity and cause unjustified demoralization must be avoided as far as possible. In order that harmful violent price fluctuations may be checked the Committee on Cotton Distribution has ordered all speculative short selling on the New York and New Orleans Cotton Exchanges stopped, and, to make this order thoroughly eeffective, has required that no selling orders except in liquidation of long contracts be executed from any foreign country. "The stoppage of sinkings by Uboats, the monthly increase in new ship tonnage and the releasing oi ships now engaged in supplying the fleets of the Allies, together with he freeing of space previously used hi sending munitions to Europe, will nean a large increase in available tonnage for cotton exports. "The world's requirements of cotton to meet its increasing demands for clothing will henceforth be on a continuously ascending scale. Based on reports to this committee from the various foreign countries, wc estimate their requirements and probable exports of cotton under present conditions to be over two million bales in excess of last season's takings. "Europe is almost denuded of cotton and cotton goods. The potential buying power of the world which will be aided and hastened by the establishment of the necessary credits will quickly assert itself." o During CenwiesceECt w I the aftermath of acute disease, when physical strength is at low ebb, the body needs particular, effective nourishment to hasten restoration of strength and virn.

Although i they have been subjected to very ; | hard blows, yet the Germans have ; | millions of men who will fight to the ; last drop of their blood and will ^>e . the more persistent the nearer they * are driven back toward their own . fatherland. A reasonable view of r the situation indicates that the war cannot be entirely won before the p middle of next Summer; unless Geri many should decide to surrender and > accept the terms of peace required , by this country before that time. If the Germans still hold out without . sueing for peace it appears that the j allied armies should be in Berlin pre I pared to dictate the terms we murft' have by June or July of 1919. , SOLDIERS RELIEVED FROM DUTY AT ONCE Plans Made for Demobilization at Home and Abroad An- > nounced by Baker. 1 Washington.?Savings through war departmental adjustment orders, including cancellation of contracts, are estimated at one billion, three hundred and thirty-six million dollars by Secretary Baker in a letter read to the Senate by Senator Mar tin, of .Virginia, chairman of the appropriations committee. "On contracts which have been let, but on which no work had as yet been done," Mr. Baker wrote, collations aggregate a saving of1 < $700,000,000. L "An, order was made on the 11th ot November cutting out all overtime ^ and Sunday work. The amount saved by this order aggregate about $2,000,000 a day. "In the bureau of aircraft produc- m. tion orders have been telegraphed ; stopping all production on a large y number of items which aggregate 'A the estimated saving of $22.1,000,00^" "In addition to the foregoing plans have been made lo begin the demobilization of the forces under arms in tin's country and to begin returning at once to the United States such portions of the armed forces abroad as arc not needed for the purpose of ^ occupying enemy territory. * "I have no doubt that within a few days the figures above set forth will show substantial increases and the savings affected will mount day hy day. In general, it is my earnest desire to restore the soldiers to their homos and their civil occupations artd to cut down as speedily and completely as possible the extraordinary ^ ^ expenditures which the War Department was obliged to undertake for the prosecution of the war. "I have not set up here the derails of the contracts cancelled because the list is long and is not of special significance." While many things regarding V . Spanish influenza are unknown or ^ at least doubtful in the minds of medical men; yet it is almost sure that the disease is spread by coming in contact with the germs thrown off by those who are suffer* \ ing from the disease. The best precaution to take if? to avoid the common towel, the common drinking cup, and all other things used in Y common by many people. Also avoid crowds and thus add a safeguard against coming in contact The efforts of those working hard to put over the 4th Liberty Loan were handicapped by two things coming at about the same time. One was the continued allied victories which was really no excuse for slack ing in the purchase of warbonds; and the other was the wide-spread Spanish influenza making it dangerous for workers to go into all sorts of places where the disease might be contracted. Under the circumstances the success of the 4th Liberty Loan has been wonderful. NOTICE OF SALE. Under and by virtue of the decree and indirmont r?f K?r ? J ...W..
