The Farm and The Farmei . BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN
J. EDWIN CHARLES I am not in favor of the country daylight saving plan, as it would be a hindrance to the fanner who must attend to his feeding after his day's work, and then go to the bank and stores in town, which would be closed. ELI CATES I am sure against changing the time. I say let it alone, as it always has been. Now it comes nearer suiting everybody so let us have the good old time. J. B. FAUCETT, I do not favor this plan, as I can not see any advantage whatever, especially to the farmer. If more is to be accomplished, commence earlier. I can't see that anything is to be gained to close the day's work an hour earlier. V. R. BROAHUS Give us prices for our products so that we can compete with manufacturers for labor, and I don't care a darn what they do with the daylight saving plan. JOHN N. BOYD I am not in favor of the daylight saving plan. We lose one hour each day, and you can not get a hired man to get out that early in the morning, and yet they want to quit at 6. F. A. HILL Farmers work from daylight to dark, so there is no sense in changing the time. Let the workers in town begin and quit work an hour earlier, but let the clocks alone. The sun is ruler of time, not Wilson. RICHARD CONWAY I am not in favor of the daylight saving plan. It is too great an inconvenience to the farmers. Let the shopmen get up an hour earlier and let the sun alone. L. T. HIATT It may be very convenient for city labor to work by the daylight saving plan, but It is far from being beneficial to the farmers, for his time as from sunrise to sunset. From June 1 to Dec. 1 ia a very busy time with us farmers and the farm hand of today wants his time the Bame as the city hand, 8 hours a day, which handicaps us at Jiarvest time, two to three hours a day. I would suggest that everybody be satisfied with old Sol's time. If the city adopts the new tim
BRITON FLAYS DRYS LONDON. Feb. 16 The New Witness, of which Gilbert K. Chesterton is editor, says: "Yankee millionaires announce that they are ready to spend 10,000,000 pounds sterling to make England dry, or rather those in England who are not rich enough to obtain illicit drinks from stock in secret cellars, but they refuse to pay out a farthing for the help of starved children of Central Europe, through whose miseries America waxed fat."

we farmers have no time to do any trading after supper. If it comes to this there will be community trading points established by the farmer. The city and country should be co-operative. Let us work together. B. F. HARDMAN Farmers In the summer season are so busy that they cannot go to town in the day time, and must do their trading at night. If the business people can't accommodate the farmers they will losa a large amount of business as the farmer will send his order to a mail order house and have it sent to his home.
Inter church Stewardship Campaign Closes Feb 22 An unique and fitting nation-wide church observance of Washington's birthday will be held this year In connection with the Interchurch World Movement. Feb. 22 falls on Sunday and on that day will culminate the interchurch four weeks' educational campaign In "stewardship" that is, the doctrine that God is the owner of till things and that the man who possesses anything is but a steward accountable to God for that possession. Representatives of various churches at a conference held in New York, designated Feb. 22 as "Nation-Wide Stewardship Acknowledgement Day." On the birthday of the father of his country, the man who placed his life and his personal fortunes at the disposal of his country, the churches will emphasize in sermons the obligations of their communicants to render an accounting to God of their possession to help forward by financial contributions the great evangelistic, educational, hospital and social service program of the Interchurch World Movement, for which more than $1,000,000,000 will be needed. In this connection the interchurch movement directs attention anew to the fact that the federal government exempts from income taxation up to 15 percent of income contributed to religious and philanthropic causes. It is believed that many persons will not be content merely to contribute a ttthe of their possessions to the movement but that many will equal or exceed the 15 percent of income exemption.

That goes for tho whole picture, as well as the big scene where Charlie knocks a crooked pugilist cold in the roped arena. Mr. Ray starts cut as helper for the express agent in his town, who also happens to be his girl's father. A packet of money is stolen, and suspicion points toward the agent. Charlie skips out of town to mystify the folks a little and lands a job in Chicago as pparring partner for a noted pugilist. In the meantime, a ch?ap sport from the city is trying to win Charlie's girl back in the home town. Charlie wins a big battle in the ring just in time to discover that the city chap is really the thief, and all is serene in Pitt's Junction. "LISTEN LESTER."
