Bugler Flynn's head is suddenly cold
and heavy. His hands are wet with a
moisture which he cannot wipe away,
although he tries to now and then on
the dry breeches beneath his sIeet-

Across the sleeting dark of the court

Bugler Flynn withdraws mechanically
into the shadows and watches the ap-
preaching group with dull sense Of
step. The X. O.'s commands are brief
and specific.

Arizona desert, looked mighty like for

slncc midsummer the days have been
all of gloomy monotony.

appreciatiyely, in tho rose-and-gold

Bugler Flynn is not one to suffer in
silence. Every note from his brazen

the enforced delay. His plaintive vail

tragic conviction that docks and cob

DAYLIGHT SAVING
 BILL |S NOW LAW
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The daylight saving bill. under which the nations clocks would be turned for ward an hour every spring and back ward again in the fall, was passed to- day by the house. It passed the senate last June, but as the house added two months to the period involved, further action by the senate will be necessary before the measure goes to the presi- dent.
 Under the senate bill the clocks would be changed the last Sunday in April and the last Sunday in Septem- Der. The house made it the last Sum- day in March and the last Sunday in October.
 The vote was 252 to 40.
 This plan was adopted last year in England, France, Germany, Italy, Nor way, Sweden, Denmark and Portugal and this year in Australia and Iceland. The Canadian government is consider ing it.
 The bill has had the support of prac- tically all the large industries in the country and it's proponents have argued that it will result in a great saving of fuel and benefit wage earners in that they will have more time for recreation during daylight hours.

WASHINGTON, March 15.- Boy Scouts of America were mustered to- day into the army of workers for the third liberty loan which will open April 6. by request of President Wilson.
 As in the two previous campaigns" wrote the president to Colin H. Living stone, president of the Boy Scouts or ganization, 'it is desired to have the Boy Scouts of America serve as 'glean- CTS in a house to house canvass after the 'reapers' cleaning through the days set aside for your special campaigf.
 Tt is my earnest wish that every troop of Boy Scouts and every scout official take part in your war service activities and especially in these Lib- erty loan campaigns Not only is this of practical service to our country in these critical times, but it is of great educational value to the boys in pre- pairing them for the responsibilities of citizenship"

HIDES DECLINE BUT
 SHOE PRICE STICKS.
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

ST. LOUIS, March 16.-The pres ent drop in the price of hides, 1t was stated at the general offices of a large shoe manufacturing com pany today, probably is due to the winter deterioration of stock, and there is no evidence thus far that the price will last long enough to affect the price of shoes.
 A decrease of 30 per cent in the value of raw hides, if long continued, would affect the manufacturing cost Of shoes about five cents a pair, it was stated.
 The cost of raw hides, it was ex- plained, was but one element of the many entering into the cost of mak- ing shoes. Other elements are the conversion of the hides into leather, the cost of tanning, which has in- creased, and the cost Or .drning the leather into shoes.
