Evangelist Tells Evening Audience
What 1t Has To Be Thankful For

Did YOU ever thank God for the
blessing OF taste? Some people can't
tell whether they arc eating sawdust
and ShavinRs or strawberries and ice
cream. Did you ever thank God that
YOU can breathe without pain? One
person in every ten dies of cOnsump-
ton and you can breathe. Think how
many women die Of cancer one out o.
eight and you are free from it.
did you ever thank God that you
can sleep? II not, you ought to be kept
awake for month. Did you ever thank
God for the doctors and nurses and
hospitals? II il hadn't been for them
you'd be under the grass.
at the opening of the Civil War
many a man was willing that the coun-
try should be saved by able bodied
male relatives Of his wife who had
made themselves bullet men, but he
didn't go himself. God isn't asking for
other mems bodies. He's asking for
yours. II YOU would give all TO God
that riRhtfully belongs TO Him ! tell
you that He would create commotion
on earth and in he'll.
"Some people work only with their
mouths. God wants that part that's on
around and smell The coffee and watch
the bacon frying. Some preachers need
the cushions Of their chairs upholstered
oftener than they need their shoes half
soled.
God wants your body as a living
sacrifice, not dead one. II was a
hard thing for me when God told me 20
leave home and go out into the world
20 preach the Gospel and TO be vilifed
and libelled and have my life threat
ened; but when my time comes, when
have preached my last sermon, and |
can 20 home 70 God and the Lamb. He'll
say: Bill, this was the reason I'll
know what IL all meant, and m say:
T'm satisfied God I'm satishcdb0

Socialists Pleased
 At Russian Attitude

The Hague. April Mathematician socialist circles are gratified at the latest news from Russia. according to which the new regime is becoming firmly established with the power of compared with that of those who fa- vor lasting rather than a patched up peace. A reserved attitude is adopted in regard to the expected fruits of the conference which it is decided to call at Stockholm, but the international socialists are keenly anx- ious to miss no chance of making their influence felt in the eventual reorgan- ization of Europe.
 No program has been drawn up for the conference, but a sharp conflict of opinion is likely to develop. The Dutch delegates themselves are divid- ed between the standpoint of the Rus sian minister of justice, M. Kerensky, and President Wilson's peace pro gram. In the meanwhile pacificist cir cles in the Hague are active and an executive meeting of the big anti-war council has been called for tomorrow to consider, among other things. the possible dispatch of deputations to the capitals of the Central powers. The Dutch paciflcists apparently are in clined to urge that the Central pow CTS make clear that they are aiming at peace with the entire Entente rath- CT than separate peace with Russia They are also agreed that it is desir- able that the Central powers publish their peace terms.

LYRIC

The House of Glass being played this week at the Lyric theatre is a superior drama of love. and of the unrelenting grasp of the New York police. The story is centered about a girl, Margaret Case, who innocent1y becomes engaged to James Burke, a notorious crook. Burke's arrest is later effected in the room occupied by Miss Case and she is arrested as an accomplice and is sentenced to three years Imprisonment on cfrcum- stantia1 evidence due to the fact that some of. the stolen jewelry is found on her person. After serving one and one-half years of her sentence she is released on parole. Feeling her disgrace keenly she goes west where she meets and marries rising young railroad man. How she finally re- turns to New York and is rearrested is shown in the subsequent acts by the Lyric players. Miss Adelaide Kim as Margaret, the victim of cir cuInstancea, carries the part to the climax with much feeling, giving a reality to the play the moral of which is that the innocent often suffer through circumstantia1 evidence. AL fred Cross as Harvey Lake and MT. Gebhard as the crook, are seen in roles to which they seem especially adapted.

Call Attention to
 Aliens Liability

The police today call especial atten- ton of all resident and nonresident aliens to the Presidents proclamation on the constitutional and federal code construction of treason, which is pun ishable by death as a maximum pen atty.
 Printed elsewhere in The Farmer this proclamation declares that the law will be vigorously enforced.
 It's far-reaching importance at- 'taches to the direction and warning tc aliens living in America who are equally subject to the laws against treason with American citizens.
 At war the United States is in a very different position from that of a neutral nation. Bomb plotters and those who plot against plants manu- featuring supplies for our government or for friendly governments, may be declared traitors and tried for treason under the federal statutes.

 Was the world war responsible for tho daylight saving movsment7
 The daylight saving movement has, of course, come into prominence through its adoption in Europe since the outbreak of the war. But it dates back to 1907, when William Willett published booklet on '"The Waste of Daylight" In 1908 daylight saving bill was introduced in the house of commons, but did not pass. The prop osition on which the daylight saving movement is based is that from May to Oct 1 clocks should be set' for ward one hour so as to take advantage of the hour of sunlight at one end oI the day instead of using artificial lighi at the other. On April 16, 1916, the German federal council passed meas ure ordering all clocks to be set for ward one hour. Within three months the example of Germany had been fol lowed by Holland, Austria, Turkey England, France, Norway, Sweden Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal. In this hemisphere the scheme has been adopted in Nova Sec tia. In England the change was mad as war measure only, largely in order to save the coal supply for military and naval uses: 1t has been estimated that

DEMURRAGE CHARGES
 NOT TO BE ASSESSED
 ON DOCK FREIGHT HERE

Fear that demurrage charges sim liar to those which became effective today at the Hartford terminal of the Hartford & New York Transportation Co. would be put into effect at Bridge port is disposed of by local off, cialS.
 It is not proposed, as far as is known by agents of the line in Bridgeport, which operates what is termed The Merchants line, to col 1ect demurrage charges in Bridgeport where deliveries have been quickly taken from the dock by local ship pers.
 In Hartford where congestion pre- vailed because of dilatory tactics on the part of shippers one cent. per 100 pounds has been imposed for both storage and carriage after a period of 4s hours subsequent to delivery by the companys boats.

PATRIOTISM N0T-- HACKING IN BOYS
 SAYS DEFENDER
Leon Argetsinger Tells what Scout Organization is
 Doing for U. s.

Leon Argetsinger, head of the Boy Scouts of America today denied all accusations of 'unpatriotism made against the body of youthful troops that he represents. '"They are pa- trtotic to the core, are trained from the beginning of their, work in respect and knowledge of the flag and at no time has this organization displayed any lack of patriotism in any re- spect." he said.>>
 MT. Argetsinger further character ized statement that his organization were dealing with the Remington Arms &\Ammunition Co. for supply of rifles as purely imaginary.
 At this time the Boy Scouts are planning in the matter of home gar den and vegetable production" he said. They will cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce and the Fair field county, resources mobilization committee. It is planned that they shall have charge of large plots of ground in this city whic h will be care- fully cultivated
 Three hundred members of the Boy Scouts of America, headed by the Lincoln Fife and Drum corps. will ap- pear on the streets tonight, assembling at State and Broad streets at 1880 and marching to the new High school building where they will occupy the gallery and listen to speeches by the G. A. R. campfire.

NORMAL SCHOOL
 PUPILS ARE PUT
 IN VACANT JOBS
Teacher Shortage Here, -Supt. Slawson Gives
 Seniors Places.

A scarcity of teachers in Bridgeport schools and the desire of Supt. Samuel Slawson to protect positions for Bridgeport residents during the coming year has actuated the faculty in the unique move of taking normal school pupils and placing them in charge of classes.
 As a result, Miss Etta Ryan is teach ing today at Whittier school, Miss Helen Carroll at the Staples school, Miss Alice Skinner at Summerfield school and Miss Ruth Mendelson at Maplewood school.
 In discussing the new move this morning, Supt. Slawson said: ''It must not be inferred that normal school pupils are being graduated before. the expiration of their training term. This Is not so, for the teachers assigned are still under the supervision of the school management. This practical work will be counted for the pupil against her practical course. They will be paid regular teachers salaries as is now customary when normal pu- pills substitute"
 Two factors entered into the de- cision to take scholars from the Nor mal school: First a shortage of teachers, which has made it necessary to SCOUT the country for assistance; second, the fear that if all the vacant positions here were filled by outsiders the local claSses to be graduated this year would have no place to occupy next year. The move is believed to be the best that could be made under the circumstances and will result in hold ing positions open for those who quail ify locally and in giving wide practical experience to the students who have been selected at random without reference to cOmpetitiye examinations

Mobile Force of
 Laborers to Work Farms Is Planned

Providence, April 17-A mobile force of laborers. to go from farm to farm and assist in planting and har- vesting crops, is planned by the state commission of agricultural inquiry. The commission was authorized by the legislature to spend $50,000 to aid the farmers.
 'sWe have found," John s. Mur- dock, chairman of the commission, said today, "that the labor shortage Is the most serious question, as all of the experienced farm labor has gone to work in the mills and shops ow- ing to the high wages offered. We are therefore going to appeal to the manufacturers to release some of these men whom we purpose to or ganize into mobile force, practical iy on a military basis. Farmers will be expected to pay the usual prices for such labor, but the expenses of gett1ng g them together and transportation from place to place will be paid by the state.'
