War Is for
Pfutocrats,
Says Nearing
Continued from page 1

The cause it chose was the defence
of tho United States
"Thc plutocratc brand of potrot-
ism won the Endorsement Of the press,
the pulpit, the college. The 'edu-
Gated cultured 'rchncd,' high -prin-
cipled' editors, ministers, professors
and lawyers accepted it as though it
were their own.
Denounces Draft Law
"The conscription bill paved the way
for a military system exactly like that
which has been SO savagciy denounced
in Germany. It gave the American
plutocracy the beginnings of big,
cheap army
"No popular referendum on the war
was even proposed by the Administra-
tion. Like the people in the king-rid-
den countries of Europe, the American
people without any say IN the matter
were plunged into the conflict. =.
"The people are learning. 1t
is only question Of time before they
discover tNelT real enemies IN New
York and Washington.
For some time Mr.. Wood and leaders
of other patriotic organizations have
been greatly dissatisfied with the fail
ure of the Department of Justice to
use drastic measures in dealing with
the German spies and German propa-
gandists. The latest pamphlet Of
Nearing will bring a showdown in the
Department Of Justice, Mr.. Wood pre-
dicted last night.
"This effort of Nearing's will give
the people an inkling of what the De-
partment of Justice has been permit
ting the Kaiser's friends to get away
with in this country said MIR. Wood
Calls Nearing a Menace
at is just such pro-German propa-
ganda that is turning some persons
against their government. Nearing is
more dangerous because of his college
education. 1t is appalling TO stop to
consider what effect his writings will
have on some of the ignorant laborcrs
whose output this country so vitality
needs right now.
at is pamphlets such as Ncaring's
that incite pacifsts and fanatics to
burn factories and otherwise aid the
Kaiser's cause.
"Thc fact tha. the fires and bomb
paintings do not diminish in number
is all the evidence we need that At
torney General Gregory is either not
competent or willing TO suppress the
German activities in this country.
"a few of Ncaring's paragraphs arc
enough to show that he ought TO be
in jail. intend to write to Mr. Greg
ory making this demand: That nc
either place Nearing behind bars, sup
press his writings and otherwise begin
vigorously to stamp ont the German spy
system in this country, or else resign
from office so that another man may

DAYLIGHT SAVING.
[Des Moines Register.


When congress finally determined to
so ahead with the project of saving
daylight, It went strong. Clocks will be
set ahead an hour during seven months
of the year, from the last Sunday in
March to the last Sunday in October.
The bill as passed provides that
all clocks shall be set ahead one hour
at a. m. on the morning Of the final
Sunday Of this month but those who
do not wish to get up at o'clock may
find it convenient TO make the cor
rection on Saturday evening.
The dates Of correction this year
happen to be March 81 and Oct. 81.
This new time system might better
be called a daylight using plan than

amount comes and goes each day,with-
out regard for clocks or congressman.
What is done is to take Al hour from

the same as if everybody went to work
an hour earlier by the clock ard stop
ped an hour earlier. They wa 60 an
hour earlier by the sun, but at the
same hour by the clock.
An indication of the actual effect OF
the measure may he obtained from the
time at which the sun rises and sets.
On March 81, # the clocks were not
set ahead, the sun wou,' rise in Des
Moines at SO a. m. Under the new
system, it will rise at $3.50 a. N. That
IS the exact minute at which the sun
rises on Fep 90.
The sun sets at 6:s p. m. on March
81. The daylight saving law will make
its setting time 1885 p. n. May 80 Is
the day upon which the sun ordinarily
sets at 1886 p. m.
On Oct &c, the last day Of the
longer evening schedule the sun would
rise at 6:36 if clocks had not been set
ahead. The rising time, of course, vii!

will rise an hour earlier. AS the days
shorten, the rising time of the sun will
again grow later, and on the twenty
sixth of December, it will again rise at
1886 a. m.
The normal setting time Of the sun
on Oct. 26 is SIS p m, but the new
law makes it 6:1S o'clock. That is the
time the sun sets on Sept. IS, under the
old schedule.

an associate, designated as Baron

the sun would rise at 4:41 a. m. and
set at 7:47 p. m. The revised schedule
makes it rise at Sal a. m. and set at
SAT p. m. There Is plenty Of time for
evening work in the garden on that
day, but it will be possible to observe
the Iowa bedtime of o'clock without
retiring before the sun does. The sun
normally rises at Sal on Sept. 3, but
the evening hour establishes a record.
The only objection which will be
registered to the daylight saving plan
is with respect to the month of Octo-
Der. 1t seems Of doubtful utility to
make the sun rise in October as late
as 1t does in December when one of
the principal complaints from which
human beings suffer is the absence of
morning daylight, In general. however,
the new system will prove valuable and
welcome

How to Set a Hen.

The first sign of hen being broodey
(wanting to set) is that she stays
longer on the nest when laying, and on
being approached will quite likely re-
main and make a clucking noise, ruff
fle her feathers, and peck at the in
truder. When tits noted that a hen
sits on nest from two to three nights
in succession and that the feathers are
disappearing from her breast. which
should feel hot to the hand, she is
ready to be transferred for setting to
a nest which has previously been pre-
pared. The normal temperature OF
hen is from 106 to lot degrees F.,
which varies slightly during incuba-
ton.
The nest should be in some quiet,
out-of-the-w place, where the set
ting hen will not be disturbed. Move
her from the regular laying nest at
night and handle her carefully in doing
so Put a china egg or two in the
nest where she is to set and place a
board over the opening SO that she can
not get off.
Toward the evening Of the second
day quietly go in where she is setting,
leave some feed and water. remove
the board from the front or top Of the
nest, and let the hen come off when
she is ready. Should she RETURN to
the nest after feeding, remove the
china egg or eggs and put under those
that are to be incubated II the nests
are slightly darkened the hens are less
likely to become restless.
At Matching time they should be

put more than ten eggs under a hen,

of the hen.
