Tho Farmers Hours.

From the Iroquois Is. d. Chief.
In commenting On the daylight saving
plan the Huronite says: ITO the farmer
the new law will be CT lnestimable value.
1t will be the means of allowing him much
more time in the morning and evening to
carry out his work, Which this year is
needed mere than ever. The Hnronite Is
evidently laborlng under, the delusion that
the daylight law regulates the sun and
adds an extra hour Of daylight to every
"a hours, this extra hour OF daylight taxi
Ing the place of an hour OF darkness. At
least stilat is the only way it could allow
the farmer much more time in the morn
Ing and evening to carry out his work,
It may be news to the Huronlte, but dur
ing these busy months farmers utilize all
daylight hours. regardless OF what the
clock says.

Rusk. Polk and Barron Boys

Editor News-Budget
Having few spare moments,
thought l would let you know how the
Rusk county boys are faring at Camp
Grant and also some incidents OF our
trip here.
Our first stop was at Owen, where
we spent nearly six hours. The boys
all anticipated a somewhat lonely walt,
but a surprise was in store for them
The Rusk. Polk and Barron county
bows were met at the station by the
Owen band and large delegation OF
towns people. We marched to a hall
where the Red Cross had supper wait
ing for us. Now it was no common
feed but what everybody pronounced
it lone big grand feed" Well to show
YOU how much they thought of it, they
said it was worth $500 plate if it was
worth cent. After the supper dance
was put on for soldiers only and | can
tell you it certainly filled in our time
as time was up long before anybody
re 1lized it.
In the ride to Portage where we ate
breakfast, we picked up about 800 more
men: The reception we received all
along the way was great. The farmers
and tOwns-peOple all along the way
were out to greet us. At some places
fife and drum corps were out and at
BelOit the Home Guards in uniform
were out. 4 special carried us from
Stevens Point on and by the time we
landed the special was carrying some
over 900 drafted men. Some noise |
can tell you-when all got started.
We landed in a rain and our first
impression of Camp Grant was not
good. but it has changed some since
that time, although we have not seen
very much You see we are in quaran-
tine and expect to stay in for a few
days yet.
One of the pretty sights in camp is
Guard mount Of course Retreat is
pretty too. but it is altogether different.
1t is a salute to the cOlOrs, as the flag
is called in the army.
There is great excitement tonight as
our battery has a contest on with an
