its gas rates amounting to- about
16% increase aud to charge 7c in

NEW TIME COMES ON OCT. 27Tt

NEW TIME COMES ON OCT. 9TH.
The man who has been longing for
the hour of sleep which he lost during
the night Of March 81, when the day
light saving law went into effect, will
have to wait for that pleasure until
E50cbofer II. On that date the hands
of 7a11 clocks in the country will be
turned to O'clock at precisely two
hours after midnight. And on Mon
day morning the average american
will f1nG as he goes to work, that he:
has slept nine hours Instead of the
regulation eight. .:se*
Marcus NJ Marks, formerly borough
President of Manhattan, and at pres
ent the head of the National Daylight
Saving Association, says that the law
passed by Congress provided that the
additional hour of daylight should last
from March 81 to October 27. He said
that his first idea had been to limit
the duration to the last Sunday in Sep
tmeber.
'sBut Congress proposed the bill as
it was passed. said Mr.. Marks. I'VE
didn't want to risk the loss of the
measure, so we agreed to it's passage
at once. Of course, during October
there really isn't very much gained,
as daylight will be lost in the morn
ing. But it will be saved at night"
The sponsor of the daylight saving
plan was enthusiastic concerning the
manner in which the actual operation
of the law has been received this sum-
mer. .,.>:~
cat first. there were many conserv-
ative people who told us that the idea
could never be a. success" he said.

not consent to having their clocks
turned ahead, but, of course, they had
to fall in line. We haven't definite
and electricity brought about by the
law, but there are number Of ways
of estimating the amount.
"Just as a personal example: At my
camp in the AdironGacks this sumner
we burned denatured alcohol for light
ing purposes as in the past. Usually
we have had to burn about 40 gallons,
but this year we needed but 13. The
saving elsewhere must have been fair
1y proportionate."
Daylight saving came last March
only after long agitation by members
of the National Daylight Saving Asso-
citation, who enlisted the aid of the |
for their campaign. Con-
servative people feared the disrup-
tion of industry, the missing of trains
and steamships and disturbances along |
various other lines. But nothing out
of the way happened. After the clocks
had been set ahead life went on as
usual.
BY this time most people have for
gotten that when they get up at Z
o'clock it is really 6.-that is, all ex-
cept the man who remembers that he
lost an hour of sleep on the night of
March 81 last, .
When watches, clocks and all other
Indicators of time, except the sun
1ials, are turned back one hour next
month there VIII probably be cele-
bration similar to the one which
marked the change of time last
March. The National Daylight Saw
ngs Association will have charge of
he event again, but Mr.. Marks said
hat definite plans had not yet been

DROUTH OVER ALL
 OF THE SOUTHWEST

The cattle business is in bad shape in the Southwest. Rains have been unusually short during the past two years, and an unprecedented drouth is apparent unless rains fall during the next few weeks. The only places that feed is reasonably good are in scat tered spots where the rainfall was about normal Nine-tenths of the southwest is extremely dry, and some thing has to be done, or else three fourths of the cattle will die. It is re- ported that in one certain county as many as 20 per cent of the cows have actually died in the past year, and it is doubtful if there will be 50 per cent of them left next spring, unless they are fed. Stockmen have been buying cottonsed meal, chopping yucca and renting pastures for the animals wherever possible, but this has been expensive, and losses have been great. Not few of the best breed stock has been rounded up and shipped to the market, the aim being to ship every animal that will stand the trip. This practice is denuding the range of many breeding animals that will be needed in the future. It is unfortunate that New Mexico, Texas and Cali fornia have not sufficient feed to war rant them in buying the breeding stock that must be taken out of Ari- zona. The conditions are very bad in- deed, and prompt action must be taken or else the cattle industry will get a serious setback. Government action should be exerted in securing feed across the Mexican side of the border, or advancing money to purchase feed for the stock. The government could also act as a clearing house, recom- mending the distribution of our breed ing stock where they may be main- tained without being sent to the pack CTS. This is an important point, for cows three to five years old should not be sold to the packer at $40 each, for they will be greatly needed when the feed on western ranges improves.
 Cattle in the southwest have had a feast or famine existence. Many oi them have been born hungry, and had a fiery thirst and hollow stomach most of their lives. The history of the industry indicates that periodic dr0uths have cut the herds down to the size of the hay stacks or silos. It is fact that stock will get along on less feed in the southwest than any where else in the world, for it only takes very small quantity to keer them going. The industry is at criti- cal pass ,and cattlemen must handle the situation carefully, or else the loss will be great. Over-grazing has in, jured the growth of forage plants, ant it will require many years for the range to regain it's normal carrying capacity. In most places the feed ha: been eaten off and the roots died, SC that there is nothing to keep th'

THE REAL PATRIOTIC
 USE OF WHEAT FLOUR

Although a Victory mixed flour, containing 20 per cent substitutes mixed at the mill, will be available for consumers the coming year in as many places as it is economically possible, there will be some considerable amount of straight wheat flour sold throughout the country. And when the straight wheat flour is bought with 20 per cent of the substitutes, every ounce of these substitutes should be mixed with the flour and should be used only for human con sumption, according to an announce ment issued today by the federal food administrator for Arizona.
 "What the food administration de- sires to get into the minds of the housewives of the country is that they should take the 20 per cent substi- tutes and mix them with the straight flour for all purposes" reads the an- nouncement. "If the substitutes are not used in baking, the housewife is not making war bread and she is not maintaining an economy in the con- sumption of wheat.
 "In the new list of authorized sub stitutes the breakfast foods have been eliminated. This was done with view of driving home this particular phase of the problem. The food administra- tion believes that it is patriotic and right for every person in the United States to eat the same characer of flour during the next twelve months as that eaten by the whole of the Al lied nations.
 "A mixture of barley flour or corn flour of the type that has been stand ardized makes as good bread as any clear wheat bread on earth" Herbert Hoover declared in Washington re- gently. And he added that all sugges- tions that mixed breads have any die tetic damage inherent in them raises a laugh in Europe. Their bread has been mixed with as high as 75 per cent of substitutes, including every thing from beans to potatoes, as well as the cereals other than wheat, and there have been no dietary difficulties in the populations"

This run off has washed the best land into gull leys, carrying with it much of the lit. ter and fine soil and leaving behind gulleys, stones and barren clays. The country now is all ditched, and water runs off it like red tin roof. Floods are certain to be more and more ire. quent, as we'll as more severe in char. acter.
 Fortunately, Arizona has not been as severely affected for the past two years as other parts of the southwest It is reported that they have beer feeding cattle in Texas, New Mexico and California for two years, and not more than half the number are in this district as they had two years ago There is yet time for relief if we SC. cure unusually heavy rains during early October. Unfortunately this k not our season for rains and stock men should not expect to secure reliei from this source. Something must be done at once, or else the loss will be great. Cattlemen have only one al formative, and that is to gather the stock and ship them to market.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS. September 30.-Cattle receipts today were 37,000 head, market steady, no choice or prime steers here, top sale up to noon, $16.50. Hogs today 11,000, market strong to 10 higher, top $19.85. Sheep and lamb supply 21,000, market around 25 lower, arrivals mostly on the feeder order, best sale $15.50 for half-fat westerns.
 No Choic< Beef Cattle.
 Best fed steers are worth $19, which was the top here last week, a small number of steers selling at SIS and upward, other fed steers $15 to ST; cake fed steers up to $17; grass steers $9 to $15, except some light southerns which seel down to $7. Cows sell at $7.25 to S11, canners $5.25 to $5.75. The whole list of steers and cows is 50 to 75 cents below a week ago. All the markets had reduced supplies to- day, as compared with last Monday, and it is probable that prices will make some recovery tomorrow and thereafter during the week. The re- ceipts here last week were 108,759 cat tie, which was the greatest number ever received here in one week and 5000 more cattle than ever arrived at Chicago in single week. This num- Der did not include 14,641 calves that arrived. Disposition of cattle and calves to packers outside order buyers, and country buyers, footed up 123,00O head last week, showing the complete absorption of the immense offerings.
 Suckers and Feeders Decline.
 Shipments out were exceptionally heavy and prices showed about the same decline as in the fat grades ex- cept on good yearlings which sold only 25 to 50 cents lower. Market is steady today, feeders at II to S14.50, stock CTS $7.5O to SIP.
 Hogs Strong.
 Packers were successful in making raid on prices last week, but the market took turn upward Thursday sales strong each day since then. Best heavy hogs sold up to $19.85 today medium weights the same, choice lights worth s19.60, bulk of sales s1S.6O to $19.60. Stock pig trade is active at SIT to S19, with the demand aneaQ or tne Suppiy coHtlnudiiy, dho the total trade taxing the. facilities for handling almost to the limit. Pros. poets favor a stronger market for fa' hogs, although receipts are running about 100 per cent greater than they were a year ago. Packers are export. ing an average of six and a half mil lion pounds of pork products every day, which means that it takes 44,00( hogs day, including Sundays. to sat | isfy that portion of the trade, mol counting domestic consumption. Sheep and Lambs Lower. :, Arrivals were almost 100 carloads today, and practically no choice fa' lambs were included. Trade was slow with a lower tendency following heavy declines last week. with fat westerr lambs selling at s15.50' to killers choice westerns auotable up to S16.50 natives s15,5O, feeding lambs s14 t' s15, fat ewes around s9.75, feedinf ewes $6. 50 to $8.50, breeders s11.5t to s16.50.
