Y. NJ. C. A. sent over here and got
some OF the beat song writer's to -
to France. These gave their seryies
and have flooded tho camps witt
marching songs. They make the
young men laugh because they put
laughter into their hearts.
DIR. MacRossie said he found two
classes OF Y. NJ. c. A. critics.
Those who believed the Association
could do better work by eniarging
its field of endeavor and those who
thought the work should be carried
along the purely religious lines OF for
ty years ago. He believed. he said.
that both ciesses of critics were sin
cere and honest. As to the Y. NJ.
c. A.. assisting in the distribution of
tobacco. he said: II will not say any
thing regarding tobacco. ! have my
opinion on that traffic. But we must
remember that all young men in the
army are under military rule and
this rule Is 6eir guide. Being an
outsider ! saw the work as IL seemed
to me to be broad. deep. wise and un-
icrs,anding of Christianity. On their
return TO our land. believe. these
young men will exert strong. lasting
influence on our national life"

More and More
Food" is the
Cry of the East

Mr.. and Mrs p II. Troutman and
little daughter returned to Canon City
Thursday from several months So
journ in Florida and the east. Most OF
their stay was spent at Miami, Fla,
a popular winter resort.
Early in the year Mr.. Troutman at
tended the National Gamers conven-
ton in Boston. While in that sec
tion of the country. Mr.. Troutman had
splendid opportunity to sense the
feeling of the people concerning the
war. He said the eastern folks were
thoroly imbued with the spirit that
the war must be won no matter what
the sacrifice. All anybody talked was
war. war. war. They live war and
their patriotism is a wonderful thing
to behold.
The demand for increased food pro-
duction was the condition which i'm
pressed Mr.. Troutman most.
more food. more food. more food.
is the constant demand back there"
he said to a Record reporter this
morning. THE Government. of course
is the inspirational agency for this de-
mand but the apparent and appalling
need for more food, with which to
feed the Allies and ourselves has
caused nearly every civic body and
<,fh 10 oh in
ergy to increase the food production
to the greatest possible extent.
more food. is the cry at every hand
and the appeal is of such nature
that every red blooded American can
not help but heed it.
THE fact that in this country where
food has always been SO plentiful,
cry for more food should arise SO soon
pressed me with the Importance of
the request. OF course. investigation
Showed that we are practically feed
ing the Allied world; and that in or
demand this great country must de-
velop every food resource to the great
est degree. Everything must be
grown that can be grown and every
ounce OF food must be saved that can
be saved.
81 have come home fully determined
to double the output of our canning
factory SO that we can do our full
share in answering the call for more
food. OF course we cannot double the
output without the fullest cooperation
of the fruit and vegetable growers of
this valley. / feel sure. however. that
when the matter is placed before
them and they come to realize how
important is their function in supply
ing this cry for more food from
starving Allies and battling soldiers
fighting for tho freedom of the world
that they will gladly cooperate and
make this record year in Fremont
county for food production"

Benefits of
Daylight Saving

Senator William N. Calder in the
Peoples Home Journal
The daylight saving bill. introduced
by me in the United States senate
last summer. is destined to become
OF inestimable value to the country.
The senate passed 1t after a very
thoro investigation and favorable re-
port by the committee on interstate
commerce. The bill provides that at
2 O'Clock in the morning on the last
Sunday in March of each year. the
clock shall be advanced one hour:
that is. the hands Of the clock will
be turned to O'Clock: and on the
last Sunday in October OF each year,
at Q O'Clock in the morning. the hands
will be turned back one hour.
The purpose Is to start the day one
hour earlier. for seven months a year.
thereby making use Of one hour. of
daylight. ordinarily wasted. in the
early morning Perhaps 95 per cent
Of the adult population of this coun-
try. during the summer months, rise
in daylight and retire In darkness
With this measure In effect. there will
be Just one hour more daylight while
we are awake. and one hour less of
dsrkness There il nothing intri-
rate about II. Railroads will move
on the same schedule. at the same
clockt'me; engagements will be kept
without any confusion whatsoever.
and no one will be inconvenienced at
all. Ths daylight saving plan is now
In effect in every important nation
in Europe except Russia. 1t has work
ed successfully II has given the
working man one hour more for day
light recreation at the ond OF his
days work. or for employment or
pleasure at his home. It's operation in
Great Britain, in 1918. was so benc-
ficial that 1t was put into effect agaIn
In 1917.
1t is interesting to note the econom-
Ic effect this new movement will have.
In these war times It is all important
that we should conserve in every way
and at every time we can. The prac-
tical effect of the daylight saving bin
will be substitution OF an hour OF
daylight for an hour OF darkness dur
ing a time when we can use the day
Fight. 1t is not difficult to realize
that vast amount of Illumination
would be saved by the elimination OF
one hours artificial lighting evsry day
for seven months Of the year in every
home, in stores. in street cars. fac
tories worked at NIGHT, and a hundred
other kinds Of places all over the
country. Next winter this country
may again face very serious short
age of coal Daylight saving will
help in large measure to prevent
that shortage

Germans Turn Hate
Upon the Y. M. C. A.

France and wherever Red Triangle
hut can be located along the front
line trenches the Boche guns are
trained upon 1t and every effort Is
made To smash it out of existence. The
same fate that wiped out all the
front Y. NJ. c. a. huts captured by
the Germans in their advance on Rus
sia will be visited upon the French
huts. because the German realizes
that the Y. NJ. C. A. is the greatest
morale-buiider in the army today and
II is his plan to weaken the morale
of French and American troops as
soon as possible.
Warnings of this danger have just
been brought back from Europe by
Rev. Allan MacRossie. pastor of st.
Andrews Methodist church. New
York City. who acted as a member OF
the clerical commission sent over to
France to learn of tho spiritual needs
Of the American Expeditionary Forces
and in that capacity had opportunity
to study the methods OF the Y. NJ. c.
A. and to learn things at first hand.
He said that he did not hold brief
for the Y. NJ. C.. A. for he felt tina;
wen an organization had received t63.-
00o. 900 from the people the people had
a right to know about the work TO
which they had contributed. His
talk was. he said. just reply to un-
just criticism.
do you know that Germany has
already begun TO sing ia hymn OF
hate against the Y. NJ. c. A., To
tell you this is in itself to show that
the Y. NJ. =. A. deserves well at our
hands.
The Germans realize the strength
ening of the morale OF the French
armies that bns grown out OF the work
OF those secretaries who are working
over there. The German guns are

huts, and every effort is being made
to smash them out of existence
AZ recognition OF the good tina,

MacRossie said tho secretaries were
still in Russia waiting for the time
when their huts may be reopcned.
I'm France when our boys went
over there first the officers were q,
a loss what to do to keep them from
becoming homesick." he continued.
They drilled them very hard. but
after the strenuous life they had led
in preparation this was found to be
too much. Then they tried letting
Them do nothing, Tho army had
asked the Y. NJ. c. A. TO help and
the officers turned to the same place

that anything that was good for the

After describing the routine work
of day DR.. MacRosslc continued:
"If the Y. NJ. C. A. 80 commends IT,

the organization to go whever the
