DAYLIGHT SAVING
 PLAN EXPLAINED
 BY SEClY BLOOM
Chamber of Commerce Re- ceives Inquiries From
 Puzzled Merchants.

The daylight saving plan just au- thorized by congress has many local merchants puzzled as to, just how it will affect them. Secretary E. B. Bloom states that his office has been kept busy responding to inquiries from business men who did not fully understand the application of the new rule
 "Jt just means that we will go to work an hour earlier and quit an hour earlier by the sun, but will be following the old hours according to the clock" said MT. Bloom. "The stores that close at six o'clock will continue to close at that hour by their clocks, but they will actually be clos ing at five o'clock by the sun time.
 This will mean saving of daylight and reducing lighting costs with a consequent saving in power. It will also mean giving employees more time for work in gardens and other home activities of value during the war
 "The daylight saving plan simply means moving all the clocks in the country up an hour forgetting that it has been done and going ahead on the old time schedule as if nothing had happened"

WICKED WITHOUT SALVATION HOPE,
 SAYS MINISTER
Jordan's Sermon on "Panic at Heavens Gate" " Very
 Effective.

"Peter at the Fire" is the subject of the sermon of Dr, A. Homer Jor- dan will preach tonight at the First Christian church. Judging by the subject it will be a unique discourse Last night a splendid audience was present at the meeting. MT. SaXton led in most enthusiastic song serv- ice. At the close of this he sang, Who Could It Be-
 Dr. Jordan's sermon was on the subject, "A Panic at Heavens Gate" It was based on the picture of the judgment as presented by Jesus in Matthew 31-46.
 ",rhis picture described here," said Dr. Jordan, 'is dreadful, and one from which we involuntarily shrink. Yet t is necessary for us to look upon this picture. It is portrayal of the general judgment.
 "The judge in this court is the Son of Man. The Judge is now the glorl- fled Son of God. The assembled mul- titudes are from all the nations. This is the great day of which we read so much in the Scriptures. The angels and their glory add fine background lO lIlc SCCHc.

 "rhe wicked are doomed by the Master. They lacked sympathy and service for the work of the Master. Their pleadings of ignorance are vain. The sentence is Depart from me- The doom is eternal. The multitudes, wild with fear, call upon the Lord to save but there is no salvation for them.
 The righteous go into everlasting life. Their reward is eternal. They reap the fruits of their splendid la bors."
 Dr. Jordan made a strong appeal to those who had not professed Christian lty. Several responded to the invita-

l.50C ACRES Of SORGHUM NEEDED
 FOR NEW PLANT
Product Must be in Sight to Assure Building of New
 Industry Here.

The need of more sorghum acreage to insure the success of the new plant which the Fort Scott Sorghum Syrup company contemplates erecting here, was emphasized today by J. A. Rich ards, representative of the company here.
 MT. Richards stated that while he has been offered large sorghum acreage here by the farmers in re- sponse to an advertisement recently run in The Graphic and the activities of his own force, much of it was of little use to him because of it's 1nac- feasibility. The companys method of handling the cane will be thru the es- tablishment of concentration stations at various points turnout the terri tory. Each of these stations will be equipped to handle a large quantity of cane with a minimum haul for the planter. In order to make one of these stations profitable a number Of farmers in each community should get together and plan the planting of enough sorghum to supply 1t, says Mir. Richards.
 Mir. Richards states that many of the farmers who have asked for infor- nation on the new crop are so isolat- ed that it would be unprofitable for them to handle it, while others have expressed a desire to plant sorghum, but not enough of their neighbors were interested to make station feasible. thus increasing the cost of handling the crop. He suggests that tho diffarnnt neiphbOrhOOdS get to- gether, each of a number of men agreeing to put a specified amount in the cane This will enable the conn pany to erect a station in that neigh horhood and reduce the farmers handling cost to the minimum.
 Two representatives of the company made a trip yesterday to inspect sev- eral neighborhoods where the farm CTS were planning to cooperate in raising a crop.

TRUCK CUTS SHRlNkAGE.

Saving $2.63 per hog is the latest Maxwell record to come to the atten- tion of the company officials. This new record is due to the performance of the sturdy truck.
 William Moore of Fallbrook, Cal, is the owner of the record maker. Owners of any Maxwell truck, how ever, will achieve as good records.
 Moore is lemon grower and hog raiser. He has in the past been haul ing his hogs to San Diego or Las Angles in made-over-truck. The trip from the Fallbrook ranch to the city occupied 12 or more hours.
 It was this long. tiresome journey that caused the hogs to lose money. An average shrinkage in weight of 9 pounds was suffered by the hogs. At this rate Moore was losing $3.75 per hog.
 A truck was purchased and over the good roads it is making about 20 miles an hour. Moore figures that this speed is saving him about 70 per cent of the loss which he has been suffering.

FORMER JEOPARDY PLEA|
 OF SPANIEL UPHELD
Texas Court of Appeals Holds He Can not be Legally Tried for Killing
 Army Officer.

Austin Texas, March 27.-The court of criminal appeals today reversed and remanded for a new trial the case of Harry J. Spannell, hotel pro- prietor, who was found guilty by a Coleman county grand jury and sen tenced to serve five years in the pen itentiary for the murder of Lieutenant Colonel M. c. Butler, U. s. A., at AL phine, Texas, July 20, 1916.
 The high court reversed the trial court on a plea of former jeopardy The appeal of the defense contended that Spannell having been acquitted of charge of killing his own wife, could not legally be tried for killing Butler since the double killing "was contin- uous affair"
 Mrs. Spannell and Colonel Butler were shot and killed in SpannelPs automobile at Alphine. Spannell gave himsel fup after the shooting. A change of venue was granted and he was tried on charge of killing Mrs. Spannell at San Angelo in January, 1917 and acquitted.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local appIlcatlons as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way. to cure catarrhal deafness. and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube te perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever.
