The eaal situation here seema to- be in excellent shape eonaidering the Caneral shortage.
In consideration for others and as Is matter of ordinary patriotism, no ane who has anything like a reason¬ able supply of coal will apply for more. I believe the people of this vil¬ lage generally understand and recog- aize the situation and this, no doubt, together with tha efforts of the local dealers to supply coal fairly, has en¬ abled Freeport to maintain a sound tooting.

Our Office Oosed
Conforming with the orders of the Foel Administration the Nassau Coun¬ ty Review office vill be closed each Monday from now until April 1, or antil such time as the fuel order now In force ia withdrawn.
The Holiday in Freeport
Without any flare of trumpets or bragging about observing the law, Freeport business men almost unani- qnously observed the orders of the Fuel Commission for closing on Mon¬ day to csnserve eaal, and the factoriea ami shopV for the entire five dkya. A trip through the village Monday af¬ ternoon showed only the several chain Jrroce'ry stores, delicatessen, drug atores and one or two other small stores open.
At night the street, so far as the atores were concerned, was darker than it had been before in 20 years, bardly a ligtht being visible excepting in the drug stores, and laundries and grocery store on Brooklyn Avenue.
Eacapes from Window
As Room Bums
Awakened by'the fire and smoke in the bedroom in his home ^ver the tailor shop of George Helm, on West Mernck Road, Friday night a^d thinking ercape by the stairway cut off, Peter Smith, employed at the Ar¬ cade Pharmacy on Railroad Avenue, jumped from the second story win¬ dow to the ground below in his night clothing, and was severely cut in so doing. Offlcer Peter Elar attempted to and did break his fall considerably, and was semewhat braised himself, but able to stay on duty; "Peter," as he is best known, was taken into the Central Hotel next door, where his cuts were attended to, and clothing secured. The flre department had answered the a'arm in the meantime, and taken another colored man from the window, and, after a few minutes of hard work had the fire nnder can- trol with chemicals, no-%^Bter' bein? used. The building is owned by Jacob Post, is entirely frame, and occupied by several business houses on the ground floor, and had the fire gotten a bad start, or the firemen not han¬ dled it so well, a bad fire and much damage must have resulted, lb: damage in the flats will probably amount to about $160, part'y cov¬ ered by insurance, and in the tailor shop dawnstairs, where the chemicals had gone through the floor, Mr. Helm places his loss at about $350, covered by insurance.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

The 1918 Farm Census
The Farm Census, which was tak¬ en iast Spring, through the co-oper¬ ation of Echool superintend ciiitj, choSl principals and school children, was found to be of such immediate value to the public aathorities that a similar census is to be taken this year under the rlirection of the Unit¬ ed States Department of Agricultiira and the State Food Commission. This Census will be begrun amout the 26th of January and should be completed within the week following that date.

Blanks will be famished to the principals of the schools and the work of callecting the information called for will be done by the teaehera, vrith the aid of the o'der pupils. It is purposed to have these blanks in the hands of the teaeh¬ era during the week commencing on January 21 so tbat the work may be done, largely, on Saturday, January 26, and Saturday, February 2. Full information may be obtained from tho Farm Cenaas Manager or from one of the District Superintendents of Schools.

While the proper taking of tbis census involves some labor and trou¬ ble, and may, to aome extent, inter- fera with sdiool work, it, is a patri¬ otic duty which the principals and tbe teaehera ara asked to perform; it bits the   hearty   approval   ot   the   State

Explains Political
Status of Women
So many inquiries have been di¬ rected to County Clerk Thomas S. Cheshire in charge cf the Caunty Naturalization Bureau, since the fav¬ orable action of the voters on the suffrage amendment, regarding the political status of wcmen, that he has had prepared a letter which clearly defines the provisions of law appli¬ cable to such cases. The letter as made up follows:
Act of March 2, 1917. "Section 3. That any American women who mar¬ ries a foreigner shall take the nation- a'ity of her husband. At the termin¬ ation of the marital relation she may resume her American citizenship, if abroad, by registering as an Ameri¬ can citizen within one year with a consul of the United States, or by re¬ turning to reside in the United States, or, if residing in the United States at the termination of the marital rala- tion, by continuing to reside therein."
Section 1994, United States Re¬ vised Statutes. "Any woman who is now or may hereafter be married to
citizen of the United States, and who might heraelf be lawfully nat¬ uralized, shall be deemed a citizen."
Act of March 2, 1907. "Section 4. That any foreign woman who ae- quiras American citizenship by mar¬ riage to an American shall be as¬ sumed to retain the same after the termination of the marital ralation if having jurisdiction to naturalize she continue to reside in the United States, unless she makes formal re¬ nunciation therecf before a court aliena, or if she resides abroad she may ratain her citizenship by ragister- ing as such befora a United States consul within one year after the termination of anch marital relation."
It may also be stated tbat it bas beea jnlicially held that a wonuui during the existence of tne martial relation cannot become paturalized. See In ra Harriet Rionda, 164 Fed. 386. This decision is followed gen¬ erally throaghoat tha United States. Alao Jn U. S. v. Cohan, 17» Fad. 884.

A letter received by oor Red Cross workefs from two brothera in the ser¬ vice show the appreciation oor boya feel for what is done for tbem. Tha letter follows:
January 8, 1918. Dear Red Cross Workera:—
Your package containing muffien, etc., arrived safely and when we re¬ ceived your Red Cross remembrance it filled us with joy. Yon will never realize how a Red Cross package cheers a man in uniform. It ia not always the presents that make onr hearts glad, but it is the fact that someone way hack home remembered ua. We soldiers from home take new courage when we know that some of the folks back home are following as with their thoughts and prayen. I suppose we will never come back an¬ til the battle of freedom has been won for our mothers, fathers, sisters, sweethearts and brothers. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearta for youi kind remembrance, Youra veiy sincerely.
