CONGRESS- CAN'T CHANGE
PACIFIC COAST cow TIME

SACRAMENTO. Cal, May 16.-Old
Bessie, the family COW, has declared
the daylight saving law unconstitu-
tional.
Extremely conservative and highly
temperamental, Bessie refuses to take
judicial notice of the fact that there is
war going on somewhere, and with
holds the milk supply when California
miIkmaids hustle out to do the chores
an hour earlier than formerly. Hence
high school girls in the rural districts
have appealed to w. c. Wood, state
high school commissioner, to have the
school time moved back to COW time
Educational authorities are consid-
ering the appeal, and Old Bessie, her
back to the wall, is chewing her cud
with deep determination.

FENIMORE WILL
PROBABLY RESIGN

It is probable that the Americus
Chamber of Commerce will lose the
services of it's secretary, P. A Feni-

Mr.. Kenmore has been approached
by the birmingham Chamber of Com
merce, perhaps the largest and best
organized commercial organization in
the South, and has about decided to
accept their offer. In the event he
does, he will tender his resignation
here within a few days. The offer from
Birmingham is such a fiattering one
that Mr. Kenmore does not see how
he can decline it, However, as he has
heen figuring on engaging in farming
as a side-line to his local work, it is
possible that he will do that.
