DAYLIGHT SAVING.

The United States having adopted
the daylight saving" policy that has
been SO successful In European coun-
tries for two years, 1t is now up to
the people to adjust themselves to the
new time schedule. The plan Is a sim
pie one. but the effect will be tre-
mendous. On the night of March 81
all standard clocks and watches will
be set forward one hour and the next
morning everybody will arise and get
TO work an hour sooner, by the sun,
IL they do not change their hours of
work, but at the same time by the
clock. On the first of October the pro-
cedure will. be reversed and the
clocks will be set back one hour. The
same result could have been obtained
by universal agreement to begin
work an hour sooner every morning
while the days are longer. But such
an agreement would have been an i'm
possibility. T
We are becoming accustomed to
governmental regulations of our af.
fairs and there will be little complaint
about this innovation, because 1t has
30 happened that every government
regulation has worked to the advant-
age Of the public. There was some
complaining about the food and fuel
regulations, but after the people
learned that these regulations pro-
yided the requisite amount Of essen
tial foodstuffs for expectation to our
armies and allies in Europe and suf-
ficient fuel to supply the ships that
would carry the food, everybody was
happy and glad that they had been
compelled to make the sacrifices. Now
'ittiss going to be the same way with
the daylight saving" policy. While
other regulations have been in the ma
ture Of orders dependent somewhat
upon the willingness of the public to
obey, the daylight saving" measure
Is q law.
While individuals may use their
own pleasure about complying with
the spirit Of the Law and some may
SO change their schedule of activities
that 1t will have no effect upon them
the government will go ahead on the
new schedule. Trains and mails and
other important agencies Of life will
20 operated on the new time, and oil
who cling to the old hours will find
themselves out of step with the world
and falling behind.
~ Before the new time is applied II
would be well for everyone to con-
slider. how it is going to affect him. Lo-
cally the quitting" hour for most
activities in this city has been from
$3.50 to $50 p. m. Under the new
time the hour by the clock need not be
changed for ending the days work, be-
cause IL everyone starts to work an
hour sooner they will have accomp-
hshed the same number of hours
work by the time the hands of the
clock point to the old quitting hour
But $3.50 to $3.50 by the new time will
be 4:so to $50 BY the sun and every.
one will have an hour longer before
darkness creeps upon the world. This
hour could be used for daylight recre.
alton to take the place of recreation
Or smuesment that formerly has been
enjoyed at night; or it could be given
overto gardening or other work about
the homes OF people who have only
their spare hours for such work. OF
course, this hour could have been
gained by rising an hour earlier and
doing these things before starting to
work. But how many would have
done that?

Way House
Between Victory
And Defeat in War

Throughout the course of this war
there has been latent in many hearts
the hope-unexpressed perhaps only
half realized-that somewhere some
one would discover a halfway house
between victory and defeat
There is no such halfway house."

GERMAN MORALS BROKEN DOWN IN
 MARRIAGE PLAN

There are hundreds of thousands of young women in Germany, capable of bearing children, who are at pres ent unattached because of the absence of their husbands at the front. To German efficiency this is a waste of human material God would not have endowed woman with such an impor- tant function if it had not been in tended that she shoufG t.so 1t. And to what better use than for the fath- erland? Therefore, Germany proposes a '1ateral' marriage. A man, married or unmarried-it is immateriaI, only ie married he must get his wife's per mission-is encouraged by the gov e1nment to form a temporary union with one of the neglected women (who must also obtain her husbands | consent) whose consorr IS as war. This alliance is to last until a child is born, when it automatically is to cease, the child being either retained | by the mother or sent to an institu- tion to be reared that he may form a unit in the future national defense. It l is an admirable German scheme quite typical of the German mind which suffers agony at the sight of anything idle that is susceptible to | use.
 The next development concerned the women who have been widowed through the war and the men who have been so crippled as to be of no further use in the war area. The bur gomasters of the various German towns have been instructed to obtain a list of all war widows in the districts controlled by them, and also a list of all cripples Advertisements are then to be placed in papers known to be read by women generally, for wives for the deserving cripples. Thus, playing the role of Cupid, the benefi- cent government will bring together Venus and Adonis and, as is stated in official instructions, SOW the seed of a new generation which will, in the fitness of it's manhood, take upon it's shoulders the national defense.
 It is somewhat difficult for us to conceive how, in this enlightened age,
 a supposedly civilized nation can SC
 foul the beauty of motherhood, so de-
 preciate the great moral value of it's
 womanhood, as to turn the whole
 community into an official human
 stock farm by making simply brood
 animals out of it's women. It is an
 indication of the moral slough into
 which Germany has descended, so
 that we need no longer wonder either at the crimes committed by the Ger man soldiery of France and Belgium, or of the complete breakdown of Ger man morality.-J. W. B. Gardiner in The Worlds Work for February.

GREAT BRITAIN ID EXCHANGE MEN
 WITH TURKEY

Berne, Switzerland, Feb. 4-(Cor- respondence of the Associated Press) British and Turkish delegates, who have been comforting here for some time in regard to a proposed exchange of prisoners, have closed their nego- tiaGons after reaching what the Brit ish delegates describe as "a sa1sfac- xory arrangement"
 The negotiations provide not only for the exchange of prisoners, but also for a complete inspection of prison camps. Turkey has about 10.- 900 British prisoners, mostly Indians, while Great Britain has 50,000 Turks. It is expected that the agreement will be immediately ratified and within a few weeks the first exchange will be made on Swiss soil 1000 British in- valid prisoners, being exchanged for 1,500 Turks. After this exchange there will be an examination of all prisoners under a low schedule of dis ability by mixed commission of Turkish and British doctors, this ar engagement doing away with the de- lay incident to the employment ot neutral doctors.
 The negotiations with the Turks proved far more satisfactory than the British delegates had expected The discussions were conducted in a con. ciliatory spirit on both sides. A mum Der of supplementary agreement! were reached regarding treatment ot prisoners hereafter.

BRAVERY MEDALS
 GIVEN TOTS WHO FOU GIFT COUGAR

London, Feb. 4-In recognition of their courage in fighting with their fists a cougar which attacked them, King George has awarded the Albert Medal to two children of Cowichan Lake, Vancouver Island. The chill dren are Doreon AShburnham, Il years old, and Anthony Farrer, 8 years old. According to the account recorded in the Official Gazette, it transpired as follows:
 On the 23rd of September. 1916, the twp children left their homes at Cowicllan Lake, for the purpose of catching their ponies and when about half mile from home, they were at- tackled by the cougar. They were all most upon the animal before they saw it crouching in a patch at 8 corner. The cougar first g lng upon the little girl and she was knocked down with her face to the ground, the animal being on her back. The boy at once at- tackled the cougar with his fists and riding bridle, driving the animal off the girl; it then attacked him and his companion getting to her feet, came to his rescue, fighting with her ClenCneQ ndnOS anu DElulS, eNeh put ting her arm into the cougars mouth, to try to prevent it from biting him. She succeeded in getting it off the boy. It then stood on its hindquar- ters and fought with her but evil dently was disturbed by some sound as it presently slunk away and rar under a log, where it was afterwards killed.
 The cougar measured over sever feet from nose to tip of tail.

U. s. HAS PLENTY .OF FSPRUCELEFT
 BUILD AIRPLANES

Some months ago the success of the American airplane program was jeopardized by strikes in the spruce industry. German sympathizers re- jciced, and German spies were sus- pected of working to foment such strikes. In so far as they may have done so, their congratulations were short lived.
 No satisfactory substitute has yet been found for spruce in building planes. It is light and has great strength, the two essential qualities. Spruce is not as plentiful as it was before the days of it's free use for paper making. But there is consider able left, particularly in Washington and Oregon, and the Canadian sup plies must be fairly good. When it appeared that there would be trouble in getting out the spruce, regiments were organized of men fa- miliar with numbering. The great diff ficulty occurred after the spruce was got out, on the problem of seasoning the wood. After it is just cut it is far too wet and sappy. Ordinarily seasoning takes 12 to IS months. The scientists got up process that would do it in four months. But the army men said that was too long. Now a seasoning process by saturation has been devised that does the business in about 10 days.
 It takes about 125 feet of spruce boards to build an airplane. This all has to be good smooth wood, without knots or other irregularities. As the wood is largely defective, it actually takes over 4,O0O feet as it runs for each plane. This of course makes a tremendous demand on our spruce re- sources.
 So the technical men are studying the question of substitutes. Steel does not stand the high attitudes well, and most woods are too heavy. No doubt some substitute can be found if the available spruce supply should ever be exhausted.

John Mitchell, former head of the United Mine Workers of America will celebrate his 18th birthday to- day The little town of Braidwood, in Will county, Illinois, was MT. Mitchells birthplace, and there he at- tended school between his sixth and tenth years. The subsequent educa- ton of the man who now writes learnedly of economic questions was obtained by burning the midnight oil, after hard days of toll in the Illinois coal mines.

Be- tween his 18th and 20th years he travelled over the West Investigating la bor conditions and making a livei- hood as a miner.

His connection with the United Mine Workers, in an official capacity, began in 1895, when he was chosen secretary-t of a sub-district From that he rose to organizer, na- tiOnal vice-president, and in 1898 to the presidency of the organization. In 1908 he retired, and for several devoted himself to featuring in the interests of labor.

CROWN POINT, IND. Nov 19.-The
county agents office is in receipt Of a
letter from r. Z. Springstine. postmas
ter at Indianapolis. in which is pointed
out the object Of establishing the mo-
tor vehicle truck service between Indi-
annapolis and Chicago. The following
towns and cities are passed through by
this route; Shelby, Crown Point, Mer-
rlllville, Gary South Gary and Ham
mond. A regular schedule viii be main
tanned on this route. As is stated by
the postmaster. the objects Of this
service is fourfold:
l. To extend better and more direct
mail and transportation facilities 10
points that are isolated from or have
poor railroad connections.
2. To connect. daily. such points with
market centers. thereby providing
better outlet for farm and county pro
duce.
8. To encourage -lreet exchange Of
products between producer and consum-
er and save much of the enormous
amount of foodstuffs that are annually
wasted on the farms.
T. The ultimate building Of a net
work of permanently improved high
ways. the cost Of construction to be paid
by the government from the profits earn
ed by these motor truck routes
This direct motor truck service should
mean a great deal to the farming CON
stituency of this county because it viii
offer unlimited possibilities in direct
marketing Of perishable food stuffs To
quote Mr. Springstine. Every pound Of
vegetables and every peck Of frua that
can be saved from going to waste in the
garden or orchard means that much
more food for our soldiers, our people
and the people of devastated Europe In
addition to the advantages in getting
food from the farm to the city con-
sumers. this motor truck service should
be of advantage to the farmer who IS
in need Of repair parts for machinery
The loss of one day in the busy season
will far more than offset any increase
