Winter Officially on at
at 1924 A. M. Sunday

The winter solstice began accord
ing to eastern standard time, which
is Washington time, at thirty-four
minutes after 10 o'clock on Sunday
morning.
Theoretically, the shortest day of
the year was either Saturday or
sunday, and you probably found the
day too short to write all the
christmas letters to old friends and
to the folks back home, hat you
ought to write. But the really
shorttst day, according to the alma
mac, appears to have been Monday,
when the sun rose at 1922 a. m. and
set at 4.36. 1t has been customary
to consider either December 21 or
the first ccy of the winter solstice
as the shortest day, but when the
weather and other sharps who figure
out such things come to do their
splitting of seconds. they sometimes
hnd that the actually shortest day
is sondwiched between winks from
December 22 to January /.

HARD WORK PUT

Stomach Rebclled Against Neglect

'I fooled with my health trying
to work day and night, and 1 couldn't
get away with it," says ]. C. Drey, a
prominent horse dealer of North
Seventh street, Harrisburg, Pa, and
well known hereabouts.
Il used to work all day and half
the night and would eat when 1 got
moment to spare and finally my
stomach went all to pieces.
Then 1 went to pieces fast for I
got so would rather miss my meals
than eat and I felt rotten all the
time.
v'Then along came Tanlac and
presto! was my old self again ready
for anything. My appetite came back
a-humming, my indigestion vanished
like smoke and now 1 went to eat
all the time and it takes all my will
power to drive past a restaurant.

Predicts Open Winter;
Watched Weather For Years

HazlctOn, Pa.-Jacob Lindner, O.
resident of East Butler Valley the
past seventy-five years, and who has
watched weather conditions closely
for more than half century, pre-
dicted to-day that the coming win
ter will be mid and that this section
of Pennsylvania will have a green
Christmas. According to Lindner
there will be but one blizzard, and
that in the first half of February.
He bases his prophecy on astronomi-
cal calculation and signs of nature.
Lindner says that the weeds in the
fields are short, showing that seed
pods will not rise high, as there will
be no deep snow. He finds that
squirrels did not store up nuts so
industriously this year as last.
Chickens are slow in moulting and
taking on their winter coats of

FAVOR $l.75 WAGE
FOR HARVEST LABOR
r..rsr, Not Much Worried Over
Labor Scarcity.

At the meeting of the farmers of
he Welsh community held in the au-
5torium Monday night great deal
q interest was manifested in the
labor departments proposition to
h.nAle the labor during the harvest
season in a systematic manner. The
dsuartment of labor in the district
comprising the six southern states is
IN charge of Mr.. Cliff Williams of
Mississippi, who is man of large
sRairs and competent to cope with
The situation, as is evidenced by the
fact that he has the situation we'll in
hand and in the organization is leav-
ing few loop holes through which sue
cess might leak out.
Community organizations have
been perfected and are following out
the plans of Mr. Williams, which be-
fore the busy season will have listed
the labor resources and needs of the
entire district. One of the plans is
the adoption Of an equitable wage
scale and the assignment of available
labor in manner to avoid competi-
ton among the different localities.

OVERTON EXPRESSES
VIEWS ON TARIFF
Would Include Rice in List of Pro.
tected Products.

In opening his campaign at Alex
andria Tuesday night, Hon. John
Overton, candidate for the United
States senate to succeed the late
Senator Broussard took up a num-
Der of the issues upon which he will
base his campaign.
Mr.. Overton announced that he
will inaugurate a speaking campaign
which will extend to all portions Of
the state.
He declared in favor of tariff pro-
lection for sugar, as an industry ov-
er a century old and indissolubly
linked with the agricultural growth
and development of the state.
He also favored tariff on rice,
lumber, wool and other Louisiana
products. He referred to the reve-
nue. derived from these products, cit
ing the fact that sugar alone yield
ed approximately one-seventh Of the
customs revenue of the nation and
said that this revenue will be need
ed for years after the war closes.
He favored all laws that will ben
eft the laboring man and better his
condition in life. He Endorsed liber-
al federal appropriations to stimu-
late agriculture and declared that
the government must carry it's activ-
tiles into the common pursuits and
business Of men-tillage Of the soil,
conservation Of resources, permanent
highilke.
Mr.. Overton pronounced in favor
of federal food control and the pro-
lection of alluvial lands of Louisiana
from overflow, and urged that the
governments plan for work on the
Mississippi problem should be ex-
tended to include the Atchafalaya
and the lower Red. He is prepared
to work for the improvement of nat
ural waterways and the construction
of artificial canals may be cheaply
transported to market.

Dear Mr.. Miller:
| beg to enclose communication re-
ceived this morning emphasizing the
necessity of taking care of the Or
ders given in food faith for sugar
to use in preserving.
We wish to call particular atten-
ton to the pledge made in obtain
ing sugar for preserving at custo-
mer's guarantee, under no condition
to use the sugar for other purposes
and to return any surplus left over,
This is small matter but it is a
true test of patriotism to conserve
these necessities which at this time
the Government is finding it so diff
cult to supply.

To All Parish Food Administrators:
Notify all merchants that sugar
for preserving takes precedence over
all other consumers demands, and
that they will honor the certificates
issued by you or from this office for
preserving in preference to any
other demand from the consumer.
Have the merchant retain these cer-
tifcates, mail them into this office,
and if a sufficient supply will justi-
fly we will then issue them an allot-
ment to cover the amount used in
preserving.
! We are not in a position at this
time to definitely say that we can do
this, but we do repeat that requests
for preserving and canning must be
honored by the retailer IN prefer
ence to all other sugar sales, as it is
the purpose and desire of the Gov
eminent to have all food products
that can be saved by preserving and
canning so conserved.
Please notify promptly all your
deputies, and, through them, the
merchants in your parish.
Yours very truly,
