Extracts from letter from Mr.
Lester Koontz, 165tn Field Hos.
pital Corps, III Sanitary Train,
A. E. F.
The letter was written to his
father. Capt. Geo. w. Koontz OF
this place. After thirty days
spent in the hospital with humps,
| found my company when we
started on long march. Let
tiers were not accepted on this
march because they did not have
time to censor them. The march
was hard one and when we
reached our destination, l was
taken sick with tonsilitis. So
You need not wonder why you
have not heard from me.
Since recovering my time has
been fully occupied. We are now
operating base hospital. You
can lima CINE the work we had to
do to open this place and get
ready for 800 patients. This
was formerly French hospital,
which was turued over to the
Americans. We had to get rid
of all the stuff the French used,
thoroughly clean the building
and fully equip it with American
material. Recently twelve nurses
were attached to our hospital. /
don't think we will be here very
long, because we are rated as
Field hospital. The rest of our
division are in the trenches and |
suppose by the time You receive
this letter we will be up there
too. am anxious to get up
there where something is doing.
This is the first town we have
been in. 1t is certainly a historic
place. Wish l could tell you
more about its history and you
could probably tell just about
where l am located. The town
is situated on high hill and the
scenery is beautiful.
The town is we'll fortified and is
surrounded by a high wall and
some places there are three walls.
| understand YOU have had al
pretty hard winter over there,
but / hardly think il has been
any worse than the one we have
been through. During one of
our marches it showed all the
time and we were nearly frozen,
1t night we would sleep in the
oarns with no place to warm, get
up in the morning at five O'clock

Benefits of Daylight Saving
Senator William M. Calder,


the Peoples Home Journal.
The Daylight Saving Bill, in
troduced by me in the United
States Senate last summer, is
destined to become of inestima-
bic value to the country. The
Senate passed it after a very
thorough investigation and
favorable report by the Commit
tee on Interstate Commerce. The
bill provides that 2 o'clock in
the morning on 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 3 O'Clock and on the
last Sunday in October of each
year, at 2 o'clock in the morning,
the hands of the clock will be
turned back one hour.
The purpose is to start the day
one hour earlier, for seven months
year. thereby making use OF
one hour of daylight, ordinarily
wasted, in the early morning
Perhaps ninety-fve 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
a wake, and one hour less of dark.
ness. There is nothing intricate
about it. Railroads will move
on the same schedule, at the
same clock-time engagements
will be kept without any con.
fusion whatsoever, and no one
will be Inconvenience at all
The daylight-saying plan is now
in effect in every important ma.
tion in Europe, except Russia
1t has worked successfully. II
has given the working man one
hour more for daylight recrea.
ton at the end of his days work
or for employment or pleasure a,
his home. It's operation in Great
Britain, in 1916, was so beneficial
that it was put into effect again
in 1917.
1t is interesting to note the
economic effect this new move
ment will have. In these war
times it is all important that we
should conserve in every way
and at every time that we can.
The practical effect of the Day
light Saving Bill will be the sub.
stltution of an hour of daylight
for an hour of darkness during a
time when we can use the day
light. 1t is not difficult to real
lze that vast amount of illumi-
nation would be saved by the
elimination of one hours artifi-
cial lighting every day for seven
months of the year, in every
home, in stores, in street cars,
factories worked at night, and
hundred other kinds of places a
over the country. Next winter
the country may again face d
very serious shortage of coal.
Daylight Saving will help in a
large measure to prevent that
shortage. 1t is not a fad, but a
common sense, practical measure.

GOOD ADVICE TO GROWERS
They Should Have a Box Mill of
Their Own

"Thc Lancer" in the Florida
Borrower of the 9th ult.. offers the
following excellent suggestion to
growers of fruit and vegetables:
The box people are keeping
rather quiet regarding prices for
the coming season but on account
of the high cost of high living
they are expected to raise their
prices and it is whispered that
they will ring the bell at 20 cents.
My advice to young men about to
enter the world of business is to
go into the manufacture of some
necessity and then combine with
the other when in the same line of
business. You can make your own
price and the public be damned.
These box manufacturers are all
God fellows and | know most of
them personally and like them. I
hope they all get rich and retire
with q million apiece, but on the
other hand if I was an orange

VERY IMPORTANT MEETING
Fruit and Truck Growers Urged
to Attend

A most important meeting, es
pecially pertaining to the intefes
Of growers and shippers of Flori
da, is that to be held in Jackson
vile, at the Seminole Hotel, or
the 18th and 18th inst. This meet
ing has been arranged through
the effort Of Charles Barham, Dis
trict Manager Of the Traffic De.
partment of the United States
Food Administration, whose head.
quarters are located at Alfalfa
Mr.. Barham has sent out letters tC
all the prominent growers of the
state, and, in getting the notice to
the growers and shippers, has the
cooperation Of the Federal Food
Administrator Of Florida, Brax-
ton Beacham, who will be in at
tendance.
Looking ahead to the next ship
ping season, the meeting will dis
cuss the adoption for loading,
slowing and bracing cars, the use
Of the bulged pack, the adoption
and distribution Of simplified in
Structions on ventilation, and the
discussion and exchange of views
regarding standard fruit and veg
etable containers. In addition to
these subjects, the matter of
transportation will come in for
generous attention, as will the
matter of claims and legal phase,
Of the Food Administration, in
treating complaints from shippers
or from consignees.
This meeting will be attended
by prominent representatives of
the government, and invitations
will also be issued to the Florida
officials who are interested in
agricultural development.
Mr.. Beacham is very DESTROYS
that this meeting be well attended
by the growers and shippers, as it
is his plan to have a subsequent
meeting in a more central part of
the state, at which the matters
taken up at Jacksonville can be
more thoroughly extended among
the growers and shippers.
1t will be highly important and
of great interest to all who antici,
pate shipping produce or fruits
during the coming winter months,
to be in attendance at this meet
ing, so that uniform policy can
be adopted in handling produce
from Florida. Letters Of invita-
ton have been sent to all the asso-
Citations and exchanges of Florida,

answer? Oh, nothing but that

change growers at a reasonable
figure. Why, the combined cred
it of fifty per cent of the growers
of Florida, and which could be
had if they were organized, would
enable them to buy the best mill
in Florida, and all the standing
timber in the state, and they
would never have to go into their
pockets for a cent, either. They
have at their command a tremen-
dous power if they will only real
ize it, and realizing it, use it.
There is only one way that this
power could be made available
and this is through combination
and the only satisfactory combi-
nation in sight is the Florida Cit
rus Exchange, an organization
that has proven it's honesty
