Men, women and children in Italian

Last summer the senate passed a
bill for daylight saving" as adopted
by most Of the warning countries. The
measure provides for advancing the
clocks of the nation one hour from
the last Sunday in April to the last
Sunday in September. This would
make everybody get to work an hour
earlier than they otherwise would; it
is comoufage applied to getting up.
That would give the workers an ex-
ira hour for rest and recreation in the
latter part of the day. 1t is likely
that the bill will become a law in time
to take effect this year, as President
Wilson has o. k.-ed it.

THE WAY l FOUGHT

/ am not bound to win life's fame, am
not charged to reach a goal;
1t is not told that victory alone shall
consecrate the soul.
Not all the great men come to wealth,
not all the noble men succeed,
The glory of life is not the record Of
one daring deed;
And if | serve purpose true, and
keep my course, though tenn
pest-tossed,
1t shall not matter in the end, whether
/ won my fight or lost.
l was not ordered at my birth to come
to death possessing gold;
No stern command was given me that
riches must be mine to hold.
The reason for my life is hid, l shall
not solve the mystery here,
And even what is victory for mortal
man is far from clear;
But this / know, when comes the end,
and all my oiling here is done,
The way / fought will count for more
than all the goals | may have
won.
If only victory were good, and only
riches proved mems worth,
Then only men of strength would live,
and brutes alone would rule the
earth;
Then striving for a lofty goal, and fail
ing to succeed were sin,
And men would lie and cheat and steal
and stoop to anything to win.
But there are greater goals than gold,
and finer virtues than success,
And how I've fought shall count for
more than what I've managed
to possess.

NEWS NOTES

Estimates Of the amount of winter
wheat to be harvested next year are
revealed to be less than was hoped
for. Various causes, including the
dry weather, the late harvest of other
crops and the shortage of help, tended
to bring this condition about. Over
47000,000 acres of winter wheat was
the mark set for the farmers to plant;
canvass last month shows that about
42,17O,00O were sown. This is rec
ord acreage in this country but its
condition is reported as unpromising.
Instances are being brought to light
in which dealers in foodstuffs are vio-
lating the food administrations rules
against profteering. H. Borrak, a
New York merchant, was arrested for
boarding sugar. 1t was found that he
had 60 barrels on hand which he refus-
ed to sell at the market price. Her
man Dworkis and Goldberg and Cohen,
New York dealers, were found guilty
of overcharging customers for sugar
and their stores were closed. Lester
Brothers, wholesale food dealers, New
port News, Va, had their license with
drawn for permitting potatoes and
onions to rot rather than handle them
at loss.
A story has been going the rounds
to the effect that a New Jersey man
fed his bees whiskey to make them
steal honey from his neighbors. The
theory was that drunken bee loses
his morals the same as does an intox-
icated man and instead of making its
own honey, prefers to steal it. The
Guide to Nature declares that the sto-
ry is ridiculous. ''This is the sort of
fool stuff that would tend to drive even
a prohibitionist to drink" it says. ut
would, if he knows and appreciates the
honey-bee. There are plenty of inter-
esting things to be said about honey
bees without connecting such trash as
this, as there are many arguments in
favor of prohibition, or at least in ia
vor of temperance"
The recent cold wave which swept
over the Atlantic seaboard caused Their
mometers in some parts of the country
to fall to record points. Unofficial re-
ports from Glen Falls, N. Y, stated
that the thermometer fell to go below
zero. Boston reported the coolest
weather in so years. The ice on the
Hudson river, near Piermont, N. Y,
froze SO thick that battalion of sol
diers was able to march across it over
the same route that General Washing
toms troops took on their retreat af-
ter the battle Of White Plains. In
southwest Virginia the mercury stood
20 below; it was said to be the coolest
weather since 1898. The suffering
throughout the country was accentu-
ated by the scarcity Of fuel; in some
cities police and fire stations were
thrown open to those who were with

In July Of the same year our whole

HAYWOOD CO, SOLDIERS

Cables were received Saturday by
relatives in town announcing the safe
arrival in France of the boys who went
with DR.. Battle Malone's unit. 1t was
rumored a week or more ago that
they had reached the other side, but
that was a mistake. -Four of the boys,
including Wesley Walker, were left in
a Hospital on this side Of the water,
differing from mumps. Whether they
will join their unit later we have not
heard.
The first boys who enlisted from
Haywood county after war was declar-
led were Dow Tobias and Ben Ivy
King. They were members of the
A14h field artillery and were promoted
10 the 115th field artillery and are sta

DR.. Crowder Chapman, who is at
tending the medical training camp at
Fort Oglethorpe, Ca, had the misfor-
tune to fall victim to measles, which
seems to be an epidemic in most Of the
camps. Mrs. Chapman and little
daughter, accompanied by Miss Salbe

will remain as long as DIR. Chapman is
in training there.
Lieut.. Harold Tamm, who is'station-

makes. He says he is delighted with
army life, has everything he needs, in
Guiding sweater, gloves and helmet.
These things are most necessary dur

The New Spring Silks Are Stylish and

| The new silk fabrics for spring and
summer are thus described in the March
Woman's Home Companion:
$50 much has been said about con-
serving wool and using silk in its place
that it is well to remember this in plan
ming spring clothes. There are times
when it seems as though nothing would
serve the need like wooden. Yet silk
will in many cases be satisfactory
For instance, so many silk suits for
sports and general wear viii be used
there is long list of suitable materials.
There is khaki kool in new and inter
estng patterns. such as batik and aero
plane, satin ondule brocade, and fan-ta-
ii, two crepes most exquisite in weave
and color. The former comes plain as
we'll as brocaded, the latter plain and
satin striped, and it rivals the beauty
of cloth of gold. Amphora crepe is an
other worthy of mention in its pongee-
like weave. and another that must be
seen to be appreciated is moleskin, satin
with crepe back, both sides of which
are often shown in a costumn where
contrast is desired. Another double fab
rio is satin victoire, satin one side, geor-
gette crepe the other.

Labor and Freedom.

The hope OF labor lies in the oppor
tunities for freedom; military domino
ton, supervision, checks, bondage lie in
Prussian rule. So declares the execu.
tive committee of the American FEEDER.
alton of Labor.
This is right and clear conception OF
the issues involved in this war for the
working man. 1t is not through Ger
man regime but through democracy that
labor is TO receive adequate recognition
and its realization of its rightful place in
the world
All Americans are supremacy and vi
tally interested in the war against Ger
man autocracy and none more than the
working man of America To him free
dom means everything
The test is on whether the autocratic
regime of Germany has bred better men
than the free institutions of this coun-
try has-whether the independent men
of America can fight so well, can man
ufacture such guns and aeroplsnes and
other instruments and munitions of war
and put them into effective use as can
the human product of German rule.
There is no doubt of the result, but
IT depends upon the whole American
people and not alone upon our fighting
men. We who remain in safety at home
must do our part, work, economic, save
and support the finances of the govern
ment. Industry, saving, and lending to
the government are now national needs
and national duties.

Progress of War Savings Campaign.

The receipts of the treasury depart
1 ment through the sale of war savings
and thrift stamps up to February 20
have equalled S70,0O0,000
Receipts are coming in to the treasury
| department at the rate of about SO 900.
600 day. In other words, the receipts
| in this country for three months are al
ready running at the same rate which
| England has reached after two years.
If the war savings campaign attans
the goal set, it will cover the entire
cost of the governments ship building
program FOR the year
Already the government is receiving
from the buyers of war savings stamps
daily, enough money to build more than
10000 tons of ship. 1t has received to
date, funds for the building of 10000
tons or 81 ships of 5000 tons each.
What the government wants from the
war savings campaign is regular week
ly income. In order to be assured of
this, it asks the people of the country
to form themselves into war savings So
cities.
A war savings society is group of
people who pledge themselves to system
attic saving based on an agreement which
each member makes with himself and
with the government to save up to the
limit of his ability and to invest regu-
larly in war savings stamps. These SO
cities may be formed wherever a num-
Der of people meet for any specified pur-
pose. For instance: In offices, churches
clubs, fraternsl organizations, and the
like.
The only steps necessary to form a
war savings society are the signing Of
each member Of the pledge card fur
nished BY the war savings committee and
the election Of a president and secre-
tary. The society may meet periodically
for the discussion Of war savings and
kindred topics. or if this i not feast

Of seeing that each member Is supplied
regularly with the number OF stamps ne
hss agreed to buy.
