When the Winter Is Coolest
By GARRETT P. SERVISS

have arrived at the Arctic circle,
within % 1-2 degrees of the pole,
day vanishes completely, and It is
all night. In the southern hem
isphere exactly the reverse occurs,
so that they have their winter when
we have our summer.
Now, as to the second cause men
toned above, look at the second
figure. You know, no doubt, that
corn stalks always grow up verti-
cally out OF the ground, whether it is
flat valley or hillside. But a farm
er viii tell you that he can raise
more corn on an acre of fiat land

toward the north. Although the
sun is lowest about December -.
the greatest cold of winter ordinari-
ly occurs about February L; but
the precise date is variable, owing
to local or accidental influences.
As soon as the amount of heat
stored up by day equals that lost
at night, the temperature will be-
gin to rise.
Exactly the same influence is at
work in summer, for the hottest
weather does not occur on June II,
when the sun is highest, and when
the greatest amount Of heat is
poured down in "a hours, but about
the end of July. when the earth has
become thoroughly warmed. and
more heat is accumulated 10y day
than is radiated away 10y night.
Atlanta Georgian., 1913-02-14

spread over a greater surface, and
consequently their heating effect
for a given area is less.
The combination of these two
causes, as we have said, brings on
the cold Of winter. 1t remains to
explain why the cold is not great
est when the sun is lowest. 1t is
because the cold will accumulate
or, more correctly, the relative loss
of heat will grow greater-as long
as more heat is radiated away at
night than is accumulated by day,
and this continues to be the case
for about six weeks after the sun
has turned back from the winter
solstice, and begun to rise again

THEY FAVOR CHANGE IN TIME.
c. D. KENNY CO.
Atlanta, Ga.


TO the Editor of The Georgian:
We have read with a great deal
of interest your articles relative to
Eastern time for Atlanta.
After giving the subject some
thought. we wish to say that We
are heartily in favor Of the change.
Situated as we are, just east of a
mountain range, we are denied the
privilege of the long twilights en-
loved by the residents of the East,
where from the going down of the
sun till actual darkness sets in,
they have an hour or more of
the most pleasant part of the day
during the summer months.
We believe that the working peo-
ple of this section will gladly go to
work a little earlier in the morning
(bv the SUM than they do now to
derive the benefit Of an hour OF
daylight after their work is done
at night.
our stores here close at and
$50 o'clock. Central time. and by
the time the clerks reach their
homes and get their evening meal
il is dark. The stores in Wash
ington. Baltimore, Richmond and
other Eastern cities close at the
same hour eastern time) and there
is between that and dark some two
hours in midsummer, when
chance at little outside recrea-
ton means so much. We see no
reason why the dwellers in
warmer climate should be denied
this pleasant time when dwellers in
a climate not so warm enjoy If.

IlVY THAT impression is the ma
w tional procession making
on your mind?" That
question | have been putting to
men in various walks of life. The
replies. grouped, may be thus sum
married..
FinancierE and bankers are in
clined to be pessimistic; they do
not know where the procession may
lead to-
Business men are fairly cheer
full; trade is good, and though tar
iff uncertainty acts as a restraint,
prospects are considered tolerably
bright
Brokers are in the doldrums.
Railroad managers are beset by
many problems-howt to raise need
ed capital, how to placate labor,
how to keep costs from encroach
ing upon dividends.
Laboring classes find that prices
of necessaries have declined APP
preciably though not enough, but
they look for some measure of re-
lief from the imposition of the in
come tax upon the well-to- do, from
the impending reduction of the tar
iff on articles of common use and
from the general tendency to treat
labor more considerably. There
are. however, many rebellious work
ers who lean toward extreme radt-
calism. including socialism.
The deduction to be drawn, after
hearing all sddes, is that the United
states is confronted with months
of unsettement, but that the tur-
moil should leave the great body of
the people better off than before.
Help Working Glass.
The biggest. the most significant
and the most inspiring event of
the week has been the indorse-
ment Of the income tax by more
than three -fourths of the states in
the Union, thus clearing the way
for the adoption Of this equitable
method of defraying part of the
cost of governing the country.
The rich do not now pay proper
proportion of the nations expenses.
The income tax will help to remedy
this.
Just what terms will be decided
upon can not be foretold. Should
the minimum income to be taxed lbe
$4,000 a year or $4,000? Should the
rate-the per cent rate, the levy per
$1OO that is-be the same on in
comes of $4,000 as on incomes of
$4,000 or 100000?
There is room for difference Of
opinion on these points. Person
ally, I think the minimum should
be quite low-very low. Then it
seems to ME that the British law,
imposing a higher rate upon gigan-
tic incomes, is not objectionable.

So, Sig. Sautelle and His Aids, catering to
that Great Critic, the Public. will present to
the Good Folk of Belfast, Friday, June 9th, a
replica of those olden, golden days-with mod
ern, goth Century accessories of the times
luxuriant. The cages in his parade will be
open. The wild and tame animals, behind Sc
cure iron bars, will gaze back at an interested
and amazed public. Prancing steeds, golden
chariots; Royal Bengal tigers, leopards, panth-
ers. jaguars, hyenas. cougars, in fifteen open
dens. Four bands of music, coterie of funny
clowns, to add humorous variety to the splen-
dor Of it all.
Those who delight in spectacular scenes
should be early on the streets the morning of

THE MONTVILLE SCHOOLHOUSE
CASE.

The case in equity of rs tax payers of Mont
vile in the county of Waldo against the mu-
nicipal officers and school committee of Mont
vile, whereby it sought to restrain the
completion of schoolhouse nearly erected
and to enjon the town from paying for the
same, in which decree has just been filed. is
of special interest to municipal officers and
school committeeman in this State. 1t has
been briefly reported in The Journal, but
merits the fuller account which we find in the
Kennebec Journal: 1.-The school committee of
Montville in March, 1911, recommended in
writing change in the location of a certain
schoolhouse in said town, but did not recon-
mend any particular location; whereupon
special town meeting was called to see what
the town would do about the location of the
schoolhouse and at said meeting the town
voted to change the location to certain lot
about one. half mile distan. from the old loca.
ton.
sin 1912, the school committee, disregardinp
the vote of the town, proceeded to erect new
schoolhouse on the old lot and in doing so did
not use plans prepared by the State superin-
tendent of public schools ana did not submit
the plans that were used to the State superin-
tendent nor to the State Board of Health for
their approval as is required by statute
"About one month after the building was be.
gun a protest against the erection of the build
ing on the old lot and also against the town
paying for it, signed by 35 taxpayers, was
was by them communicated to the school COM
mittee, together with the information that the
selectmen would refuse to pay any bills for
the construction until the matter was settled.
Notwithstanding this notice the committee
continued work on the building and completed
same with the exception of putting in the
benches. building chimney and painting.
"At the March, 1918, town meeting the town
voted to pay the bills for construction. Where
upon the aforesaid bill was brought and after
hearing at Belfast, May 9, 1918, at which all
the parties were present, it was decreed by
the court that the bill be sustained and that
the selectmen, treasurer and experimenting
school committee be perpetually restrained
paying out any money of the town for the con-
struction thereof. Twenty-three different
persons furnished labor and material for said
building, for which they have not been paid
and for which their remedy seems doubtful
"This case emphasizes the necessity for town
and school officials to comply with the require
ments of the statutes relating to public affairs
"The petitioners were represented by Judge
S. L. Fogg and Williamson, Burleigh & LcLean
Of Augusta. and the respondents by Hon. R. F.
Dunton of Belfast"
