ORIGIN OF DAYLIGHT SAVING
PLAN.

The daylight saving plan dates
back to 1884 when Benjamin
Franklin awoKe one morning in
Paris at 4 o'clock surprised TO find
his own room frightened by the sun.
This gave rise 10 the reflection that
the majority Of people during the
summer slept through four and five
hours of daylight each day and
made up for this time by using can
die light at night. Franklin calcu-
lated that during the six months
from March TO September goth
GS3 nights the people of Paris
burned their candles for 1,2s1 hours,
which at the rate Of 100000 families
meant an unusual expense of more
than s20,OOO,OOO in the city of Paris
alone. at is impossible, wrote
Franklin, that a wise people would
have made use of unhealthy and
expensive candle light if they had
known as I have just learned, that
they can have for nothing the beau
tiful full ard pure light of the sun"
England and Germany adopted
the daylight saving plan in May.
1915. France later fell in line, and
then followed Austria, Italy Hol-
land. Denmark, Norway, Sweden
and Portugal
Among the many advantages 10
he gained are the following:
One Hour More for Outdoor Rec
reatiOn.
Recreation is a national asset,
and immense force for health and
moral well-being.
Q Working mothers and fathers
obtain an extra hour for outdoor
play with their children, both sum-
mer and winter
3. one hour less for bac lights
in tener'ents.
4. Lessened eye-strain for work
ers and school children due to the
use OF artificial light
3. Smaller risk Of accident in in
dustrial establishments because

in the afternoon
3. In winter a light hour at the
end of the day is substituted for a
dark one. This is especially valuable
coming as it does at the time of
greatest fatigue and is peculiarly
valuable in some industries where
accurate eye-sight is essential.

Advantages TO Farmers and Other
Agricultural Workers.
/. Farmers who go to market
would come into better relation. so
far as daylight 5 concerned. with
the city buyers as il is customary
for farmers To- arrive at market
early In the morning. and the city
day does not generally conform in
any respects TO that of the farmer.
,. The same would hold true as
regards purchasing by the farmers
in the city.
3. Children Of farmers could do
their studying and chores during
daylight-particularly in the winter.
4. The danger in the use Of oil
lamps or lanterns on the farm es-
pecially TO children would be elm
mated if the work could be done
during daylight
5. The sooner COW is MIXED
after sunrise, the better. as she will
be less bothered with flies during
milking.
g. 1t is generally conceded by
farmers that letter results are OBJ
tainsd from workers in most lines
OF agricultural work when the men
can get onto the land early in the
morning
Z. Fruit and vegetables and
many agricultural products handled
early in the morning are far super
Tor 10 those which the sun has been
shining on for some time
S. Most farm products are bet
ter when gathered with dew on.
They are hrmer, crisper. than If
the sun has dried the dew off.

Value of Slash Pine Little Know.

A comparatively little-known but valuable tree most often called slash pine is fast replacing longleaf pine in many sections of the South. says the Forest Service. In some respects this tree is considered better tree than Iongleaf Its growth, according to the foresters. is more rapid and it's yield of turpentine larger, while the wood is said to be the heaviest, hardest and strongest coniferous wood grown In the country
 The term slash pine," 1t is explain ed is popularly apIied to several southern pines, notably the loblolly. with which the true slash pine Is oft- en confused because of it's close re- semblance. The sash pine is also sometimes called Cuban, swamp, |, or "she' spine.
 The chief causes for the rapid spread of the tree are it's frequent and abundant seed production. very rapid growth, ability to endure the shade of other trees, and it's capacity to adapt itself to a wide range of environment. The fact that 1t can withstand the combination of forest fires and razor- back rogs is also considered of in- portance by the foresters, who say that the tree is destined to play an important part in the future of the cut-over lands of the South. As an example of the high money returns obtained by turpentining the tree, it is stated that in one instance in South Carolina a twenty-year stand of slash pine averaged 520 trees per acre, each of which had one cup.

In the present var move, however, Japan has not offered any opposition and with the probability that little or no action would be required by China in the way Of fighting, 1t sees a chance to dispose of a large amount of its financial trouble.

THE SWISS MINISTERS ACT.

Not a little has been said regarding the part which Ambassador Ritter, rep resenting Switzerland at Washington. and since the break with Germany caring for the interests of that gov ernment in this country, has played In connection with the latter duties. Tn this respect particular attention has been directed towards the efforts that were made to bring about nego- tiations between Germany and t1is country concerning the avoidance of war following the severing of diplo- matic relations, and there has been some criticism of the course that was followed by the Swiss minister. it even being charged that he was to blame for undue German propaganda for one in his position.
 There have been statements on the part of the German government and the Swiss government relative to that matter and in order to clear up any misunderstanding at this end. Secre- tary Lansing has had a talk with Dr. Ritter, as the result of which he de- clares: ''I consider Dr. Ritter's conduct perfectly proper and regret very much the attack made upon him in the pa pers. It is a wrong impression of the feeling here. We ought not to have any feeling against a man doing his duty faithfully, even if he is serving for the interests of a government with which we have severed relations"
 This makes it evident that pr. Rit- ter has done nothing more than as- sume the responsibilities that were placed upon him. and it is responsi- bility of considerable proportions.
