CARD OF APPRECIATION.

MT. EQ1IOr.
Through your columns, on behalf
of the hospital authorities, we wish
to express our sincere gratitude to
the following ladies for their inter
est and help when We most needed
help. 1t was through their efforts
that we were able to keep the hos
pital open at all:
Mrs. Mamie Roberts and Mrs.
'Quantock actually went into our kit
chen and cooked and made them
selves useful in many ways. Mrs.
Howard Cooper and sister, Mrs. Her
man Wiley, did good service as
maids, sweeping and cleaning. Mrs.
Spry Andrews and Miss Annie Jones
donated a fine cooked ham and bread
and pickles that could not be ex-
celled. Mrs. Levi B. Phillips very
kindly showed her interest in pro-
curing Katie Spicer as cook, and she
is extra good at the job, too, so we
want to thank Katie Spicer and EN-
ma Boggs for their services, when
were very acceptable. Also we wish
to thank Mrs. Raymond Smith, of
fredericksburg, whose husband is a
patient in the hospital, and Mrs. Cox,
of East Cambridge, who very kindly
acted as maids and dishwashers.
The following showed a willing
spirit, and offered their services:
Mrs. A. H. Bayly, Mrs. John E.
Williams, Miss Annie Jones, Mrs.
Brice Johnson, and Mrs. Sarah E.
( Nichols of fredericksburg, whose son
is a patient here. We would also
not forget to thank Mr.. Edgar SIM
mons for his very liberal cash do
nation.

TURN CLOCK BACK One
HOUR SUNDAY MORNING
The Country Returns to sun Time
Basis at Two A. NJ. Tomorrow.

| Washington, D. c., Frjday.-All
clocks in the United States should
stop for one hour at two o'clock on
Sunday morning and then take up
the procession of the hours.
The country will then be back up
on sun time basis and finished with
its first seven mouths of daylight say
ing experiment. Some minor Difficult
ty in transportation and industry will
be involved in this return to normal
time, but for most persons the change
will mean nothing more than an eX-
ira hour of sleep on Sunday morning,
a belated return of the hour they lost
in March when clock hands were
jumped forward sixty minutes by act
of Congress.
Practically clock hands are set for
ward with less trouble than they are
set back, due to the mechanical ar
rangement of their interiors. The
average householder does not need
to be warned, but it may be well to
understand that the best scheme will
be to stop the clock Saturday night
and start it right again Sunday morn
ing.
The telegraph clocks, of which
there are $4,000 now in operation by
the Western Union Company, electri-
cally wound and set, will have to be
properly adjusted by the company's
force, which is now arranging to do
lions where the users are awake at
night themselves and can be given
special keys with which to do the set
ting The delicate master clocks
which correct the $4,000 every hour
will be changed at the same time, as
will be the governments radio and
wire signalling arrangement which is
the scientific basis of the time sys-
tenn.
Adjusting railroad train movement
proceeding over the time changing
period will present the most difficult
ty. Director General McAdoo has
authorized a general order on the
subject by which trains on the road
will continue their progress until
reaching a station and there be held
one hour At the same time, the
complicated system of train orders
and train schedules is such that the
Railroad Administration general or
der specifically puts it up to local
arrangements to use their own dis
erection and to protect train move
ments by other methods if they find
| it necessary. At any rate, Sunday
morning must find the railroads
throughout the five time belts in the
United States moving trains on the
regular schedule and in the new time
| so far as it is possible.
The Fuel Administrator estimated
| that on the seven month basis 1.125,-
1000 tons of coal had been saved to
relieve possible winter shortage. Def
mite reports from st. Louis said con-
sumption of coal had dropped 17.5
tons per thousand population.

RED CROSS NOTES

The Red Cross is indebted to the
L'Herrison and Clifford Furniture
Companies for chairs for the sewing
room. A few more are needed.
The P. E. o. society held an all
day session at the Red Cross rooms
last week, taking their lunch wiki
them and sewing all day.
The ladies' of Eldorado Heights de-
voted an afternoon last week to the
Red Cross rooms.
1t is hoped many Of the ladies'
clubs. lodges and different societies
will devote one or two afternoons q
week to the Red Cross rooms. Work
ers are needed~all the time Heavy
demands are being made by head
quarters for various articles for hos
pitfalls and soldiers on all chapters.
Each one is being taxed to the limit.
The need Is so urgent that 1t is nee
essary to bend every effort to comply
with these requests from headquar-
ters with no thought of refusing.
The local chapter Is handy In need
OF funds. The Finance Committee
held meeting Sunday afternoon and
laid plans for a money raising cam
paign. Every needle, every bit OF
thread. yarn or any other material
used has to be paid for yb the local
chapter. 1t is going to take money
and that right away, to meet the de-
mands. 1t is hoped every one will
cheerfully help out when called up
on. A statement Of the financial con
dition of the chapter will be publish
ed next week.

American naval officers and men In
Europe have been ordered not to bring
their wives from the United States and
the war department is discouraglng
relatives of soldiers from undertaking
to live In the vicinity of the training
camps. 1t Is natural that those who
are so deeply interested in each other
should want to be together, but, apart
from the fact that war service demands
undivided attention, there are practical
difficulties In the way.

COMMUNITY COOPERATION
Hunting Bargains" at Home Is Good
policy

In these days when all of US are
asked to be thrifty and saving one
OF the first things we think OF is to
buy less and to save as much as pos
sible on each purchase when we do
buy. AS a matter of fact, this is a
good plan to follow at all times; but
they may be tendency on the part
of some of us to carry on our search
for bargains" too far from home.
We don't want to forget that the
trade we take away from our own
community helps to build up some
other community or city from the
growth and prosperity of which we
do not ourselves get any benefit. II
your hometown merchants ask you
a higher price than you are asked to
pay by outside merchants for the
same line of goods, 1t isn't any more
than fair to discuss the situation
with your home store-keepers, CIV

their prices are higher than those

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The first word of this short list OF
items. should, perhaps. be an apollo
gy that 1t has not appeared sooner
No doubt there are some who would
just as soon see them left out, bat
if there are such, we hope that they
will make the best of conditions as
they exist. The school notes, this

and enemies to know that we are yet

Owing to the rapid increase in the
population of the Jerome district,
are authorities are hnding themselv-
es hard pressed to supply books for
the incoming pupils. Almost every
day a large bundle of books is sent
out to one Of the country schools. and
the supply on hand is getting rather
low Although 1t means a good deal
OF inconvenience nevertheless 1t GER
tainly augurs we'll for the future OF
the Jerome schools.
Following the same line of thought,
this calls to our minds very forcibly
the need of a new high school build

the same way that 1t has In the past,
1t eventually must come.

,NconsIpERArE AND SELFISH.

"Self-love, my liege, is not so great
4 sin as self-neglecting," wrote Shake
speare whose time was not as ours.
We're the famous bard among US he
would find no occasion to voice the ad-
monition, says Pittsburgh Gazette
Times. Know you any who are self
neglectful? OF those given to Shake
speare's lesser sin there is plentitude.
If selfishness has not become the major
vice, practiced by all but fast-disap-
pearing few, observers, themselves per-
haps not free from 1t, are woefully de-
ficient as lookers-on. Appeal not In
contradiction to the everywhere man.

q people at war That refutes In no
degree the charge of selflshness justly
laid at the doors of our people. A sell
fish person may give much of his sur
plus one self-centered may risk his all
for the common good. These are not
common practices Illuminating estab-
lished character. Deeds must be ap-
praised in the light of motives that i'm
pei them II Just conclusions are to be
drawn. And there Is not always clear
definition of "self1shness" In mind.
Self-loving, grasping, eagerness to gain
at the expense Of others, is the common
understanding of selHshnesg. In these
manifestations selflshness is not most
frequently apparent. But contemplate
the prevalent lack Of considerateness
and you begin to sense the truth that

time.
