PURITAN WAS EARLY RISER
Gettins-Up Bell Rang at Five O'Clock
In Morning In Boston Two
Hundred Years Ago.

The nine-o'clock bell in the evening
was an early observance by the Mas,
sachusetts colony of the old English
curfew bell, says the Boston Tran.
script. 1t was rung in Boston previous
to 1850 by the town bell ringer VIII
later also had charge of the town clocl .
A century ago three bells were rung III

In the afternoon and nine in the eve.
ming. Two hundred years ago the
hours were five in the morning, eleven
In the morning and nine ut night. Al
that date the inhabitants We're not SO
century, when the bell was rung at
4 80 by the first bell ringer.
The midday bell was not first run
to call people to their MONDAY meal In
Boston. In 1864, ''for the more con.
venient and expeditions dispatch o.
Marchants. assayers or any other re-
lating to strangers and our inhabitants
lit Is ordered that the bell shall be
runge att IL Of We clocke every work
Ing day to give motifs thereof to all per
sons concerned and that the ringer
shall be allowed 12p. per peare by
every person that commonly resort
thereunto and that they may assemble
In the Rome under the Towne house
for the space of one hover for the ends
above expressed"
About 1870 the practice of ringing
bell Mt one was begun, though for some
years later requests We're made for an
eleven O'Clock bell at some of the
churches, and that practice continued
in the last half Of the eighteenth cen
tury. During that century bells were
rung between eight and nine in the
morning on the day of n town meeting.
On days of rejoicing the bells were
rung from six to seven in the morning
till noon, and from two to six in the
afternoon. The allowances by the town
to sections for daily ringing were, for
one ringing f10, for two EGO and for
three f30 per annum.
The Civil war did more to abolish
the observance Of Saturday night as
the beginning of Sunday, and finished
the falling away of the previous 90
years. To the war must also be credit
ed the abandonment of New England
farms, started by the more frequent in
tercourse between town and country
by railroads.

FOREIGN HOTELS LACK BATHS
Facilities SO Common In American
HosteIries Still Unknown In Many
Cities Abroad.

In many European countries, "the
best people," II you know what that
means, never bathe In water.
Spanish matrons have expressed
much surprise at my complaints about
the absence OF bathing facilities in the
Madrid hotels. One lady, wife of a
distinguished member Of the cOrtes,
told me she ''had herself rubbed down

Throughout Hungary, outside Buda-
pest, baths are unknown in hotels or
In castles of the nobility. Most New
Workers. recall that an heiress of one of
New YOrk's wealthiest families-the
Vanderbilts married Hungarian
count, and when she reached the an
cestral castle, which her family's
American money was expected to re-
store, sought in vain for any means Of
taking n bath.
My memory Of London hotels goes
back to 1875, when there was not n
single bath tub In any hotel in that
city. A tin pan and bucket of warm
water was the only "tub"-nnd you
were lucky to get that.
And in that same period in New
York city the Metropolitan and st.
Nicholas hotels, supposed to be models
of excellence. were totally wanting in
bathrooms.
Admittedly. It is as difficult to imng-
Inc life without motor cars as without
bathtubs; but the former are less
than twenty-year-old necessity, while
the bath wns an institution long be-
fore the times Of the Roman emperors.

LUKE McLukE SAYS

Once i'm while girl marries for
a hcme and then has to get job so
she can pay the rent.
Another reason why young fellow
is $50 willing to SOW his wild oats is
because he knows that his father will
pay for the harvesting.
Why Is it that bore can't tell
when he is boring you, hut can al
ways tell when some o.her bore is
boring him?
1t is different with a man. But
there never was woman who wasn't
willing to work. fer new clothes.
Anyway, If we had to manipulate
figures, we would rather be corset
filter than mathematician.
Nature is cruel. The more fat
woman worries over her shape, the
fatter she gets. And the mere thin
woman worries over her shape, the
thinner she gets.
If you want to know a woman's
real age, guess midway between what
her male friends think it is and what
her female friends say it is.
Another reason for the high cost of
living is that the old-fashioned man
who used to sirg a song of sixpence
now has son who won't even hum
about anything less than six dollars.
The fact that this years model had
a limousine top, electric lights and a
self-starter didn't induce many of the
rirders to stay on the water wagon.

Millions of Americans are asking
themselves this question, and that
some of them are asking it of others
our mail gives evidence.
Each nan can and must answer 1t
for himself
The youth at college need only re-
main there to get military training
in many instances. 1t Is folly for
him to leave college and enlist where
proper military raining is available
alorg with his other studies.
The youth who is earning his living
lin whole or in Fart, and who has no
der endents. may we'll offer himself
for enlistment in the army or navy
If he is physically untitled fer SER
vice let him turn farmer if possible;
and where he cannots do this amy
productive industry should be his
aim.
The single man with no dependents
may we'll enlist if, in his Judgment
he can he of more service in the
ranks than outside them. He may be
more valuable, however, cultivating a
few acres than shouldering a musket.
His special training or aptitude may
make him mare servioeable other
wise. He must decide. If he decides
wro ngly Uncle Sam will eventually
find it out and help him to rectify
the error.
The single man with dependents
can subscribe to the war loan. get
some advantageous military training
and cultivate an acre, perhaps.
The married man can subscribe to
the war loan and raise foodstuffs in
many cases. If he can be small
farmer he should put that object
first.
To a great many men there will
come half dozen opportunities to
offer themselves fer some form Of
service, actively or in reserve. Select
the one you can do best. Select sew
eral, if you will, but dent take on
too huNu- ASh iiAotSa away so"i
efforts. Make a vigorous drive in
one or two directions.
Remember that food is no less nee
essary than soldiers, and that rails
ing a sizable quantity of fcodstuffs
is serving your country. You should
be as proud of your acre or acres as
of a khaki uniform. Plow up the
back lot and then raise the American
flag over it.
Remember, If you are a New York
er, that military trairing is the most
easily got exercise in town. Go down
to the Barge Office at the Battery
some afternoon, take the 3:45 boat
to Governors Island, have a rifle
served out to you and take the first
drill. No one will care who you are
or where you came from, and the
feel of your hand closing over the
sights will give you deep and abid-
ing sense of satisfaction.,
Remember, too, that when Uncle
Sam calls for money you are going
to scrape together all you cam rea-
sonably spare to buy his bonds. even
il you have to ray for them in in
stallments and cut cut deserts at
dinner for six months.

Beet GROWERS GET

THREATENED STRIKE OF FARM

Legislature Had Decided to Inquire
Into Cost Of Beet Production,

tFrom Our Special Correspondent
Lansing.
BY resolution calling for an in
quiry into the cost of the production
of sugar beets, the prices paid for
them and the percentage of profits
made by growers and by manufac-
turers, Rep. Sheridan Ford, of De-
troit, stirred up lot OF excitement
in the Legislature last week. Ford act
ed in behalf of members of the grow
ers' association and the grange. With
In few hours the manufacturers
yielded to the growers on every point
at issue.
Sensational charges by Ford that
the sugar barons" of the state had
stirred up a formidable lobby which
was doing it's utmost to delay action
on his resolution so as to be able to
stifie it later, added to the interest
aroused.
Ford's oratory and the solid back
ing of farmer legislators swept away
all opposition in the house and the
resolution was adopted under suspen-
sion of the rules. The Detroiter de.
clared that beet sugar growers were
not getting square deal on prices
which. in Michigan, were below even
the European standard, he charged.
THE hour has passed for men to
sit back and make fortunes with pen
or pencil and piece of paper" he
said. THE producers interests must
be considered"
Shortly after the house adopted the
resolution conference was called in
/ Governor Sleeper's Office. The COVER
nor urged that in view of the inter
national situation production of al
kinds. should be encouraged, not hamp
cred. The manufacturers then agreed
to pay the prices which John C
Ketcham, acting for the growers, sug
gested. These are Sc ton for beets
used to make &c sugar; 81 for cen,
beets, and So for Z cent beets. Con
tracts already made will be lifted tc
those prices, which are an increase
of 81 ton.
