close their stores at six o'clock In
order to save fuel, there has been a
misunderstanding on the part of
srme as to the exact meaning of the
word. Many lot the merchants
thought it necessary to snut off the
lights altogether and some of them
were trying to keep the store open
wLile entirely dark from five to six.
This was not the intent of the order
and the voluntary closing of the
Sanford stores on the Dart of the
local merchants merely means that
at six all the stores close but until
six they can use the lights.

Administrator Williams and receiven
the. following reply:
"February 1st, 1918.
"Hon. J. D. Davinson, Mayor of San
ford, Sanford, Florida:
"Dear Sir: I am in receipt of
yours of the 3 1st. I enclose you here -
wnn pnnteii copy of the fuel order
cf the 17th and also memorandum
relating, to moving picture shows,
theaters, etc You will see from
this order that all businesses excent
those exempted are prohibited from
having heat on Mondays. There is
nothing in relation to light. I have
construed this order to permit those
businesses to operate so long as they
do not use any heat on Mondays.
There is nothing in the order in
regard to light on Mondays. The
lightless nights are Thursdays and
Sunday nights. On these nights stores
are permitted to nave the usual in
side lights as long as they are open
for business. They are not, however,
permitted to burn any outside lights;
and electric signs are not permitted
to burn on these nights; and when
the stores are closed only such lights
are permitted inside as to insure the
saiety, i. e., to make the interior suf
ficiently light for the police officer
or watchman to see the interior.

ranged to furnish all papers of the
State the detailed rulings for publi
cation during the week of Feb. 3.
These will give in detail just what is
expected of the wholesale and retail
grocers of Florida. I wish to adviso
all retail grocers that in event they
are not explicitly informed on the
new rulings that they should get in
touch with their jobbers or whole
salers, who, through their salesmen,
will give all information regarding
these matters.
"One question that has arisen and
haf. called for much correspondence
is that relating to retail sales to
farmers. I wish to say that all farm
ers who have grown their own cereal
substitutes such as are mentioned in
the original order may, upon submis
sion of evidence that they have
grown these substitutes, giving such
evidence in writing, will be entitled
to purchase flour from the Mailer
in the quantities set forth in the or
dei. This interpretation applies only
to the farmer or producer, and in no
case should retail grocers sell to such
farmer any quantity .of flour in ex
cess of the rule laid down, which re
stricts sales to rural consumers to
one-quarter to one-half barrel.
"All retailers are urged to closely
watch the papers of their respective
counties or communities during thl
week for a full interpretation of the
rulings."

f THE HOUSE OF QUALITY"
We read that Macon is i.o have the
ltirgest balloon school in the coun
try. Ah, the changes wrought by
th widely-known whirligig of time!
Back more semesters than we would
care to say when we were just a wee
slip of a lad, there was no such thing
as a balloon school. We used to see
balloons at the county fair, but nei
ther they nor the spangled bedight
persons who went up in them knew
much about schools. When every
thing was ready and the red-faced
yokels who had volunteered to hold
the guy ropes were told to turn
loose, the balloon went scooting up
I . .1 -1 ! . . . I - I .
auu suuiyiiuuieu arvuuu in me kits
cumambient hither and thither, to
say nothing of von, seemingly wher
ever it darn well pleased. The beau
tiful gentleman who skint the cat on
the trapeze as it soared upward just
let her go Gallagher. He had to.
There was nothing else he could do.
Before the day of parachutes all he
could do was hang on and let her
ride. Then, when parachutes were
invented, he'd cut loose when he got
ready and come sailing down on his
own hook. We figure that In all we
fcftve run something like three hun
dred and seventy-odd miles to see
where these -intrepid gents landed.
Mostly they'd be gone before we got
there, but there was some satisfac
tion in locating the exact spot wher
one hit the ground and looking at
that. We don't know why, but there
was. And once, we remember, a par
achute failed to open and we stood
around and watched the crowd pry
the unfortunate aeronaut up out of
the ploughed ground with fence rails.
That kept us awake something like
a month on a stretch, or, anyway, it
seemed that long, because every time
we'd close our eyes we'd see it all
over again. vAnd we didn't exactly
enjoy it. But now or so they tell
us these bright alert young chaps In
the school here can take a balloon
ai big as the Grand building, or, as
a feller says, all git out, and make it
lie down and roll over and sit up
and beg and jump through, and stay
up or come flown, ust as they like.
Which, after due reflection, we would parents? No, thank God
MEN ON THE WESTERN FRONT
Col. Itepington, formerly of the Lon
don Times and now classed as a mil
itary expert, says the entente nations
have fewer than two million men on
the western front and that the Ger
mans will not have more than two
and a half million when their mobllza
tion on that front now in progress is
completed. This suggests that in ad
dition to the expression "somewhere
in France" we will have to begin 'say
ing "somebody in France." The num
bers engaged will be as hazy as the
location of the American contingent.
It is probable that the number of
men called into the war has been
.overstated but if it hasn't been vast
ly overstated Col. llepington's figures
must be far from correct. Recently
we have seen it stated that the
French alone had two million men on
the western front and while the num
ber of the British has not been given
it was generally supposed that they
had more men than the French on the
front. Only recently it was stated
that Great Britain had raised seven
million men. If so where are they?
We have not seen an estimate of
the total losses covering more than
the first two years of the war. At
that time France was the only nation
engaged in the contest that had lost
more men than could be replaced by
those becoming subject to military
duty after the war began. About two
thirds of a million Germans, a half
million Austrians, six hundred thou
sands British, one and three-quarter
million Russians, four hundred thou
sand French and a third of a million
Italians come of fighting age each
year. This would mean for the three
years two million Germans, eighteen
hundred thousand British, fifteen
hundred thousand Austrians, twelve
hundred thousand French and a rail
lion Italians have come of fighting age
since the war started. Except in the
case of France these were more than
sufficient to make up for the losses In
killed and prisoners and the fatally
wounded.
It may be that the older men, pass
ing military age since the war began,
have been mustered out, but even if
this is true their numbers would not
be half aa great as that of the young
er men mustered in and it would not
mean a net loss of more than ten per
cent from the fighting strength of
the average nation.
We think Col. Replngton's may well
be multiplied by two for the sake of
a nearer approach to accuracy. Cer
tainly the belligerent nations can put
more men on the western front than
the numbers stated Jacksonville
