WASTING GOOD PAPER.

We have not noticed that the
increased postage has made any
reduction in the amount of press
agency stuff that reaches the
State. Times editorial desk and
then is showed off into the waste
basket. Such matter as may be
necessary for the proper dis
tribution of information in i'm
portant matters is right and
proper, but the vast bulk of
dope which our mails are loaded
with these days is a pure, un-
vanished nuisance, a vast
waste of material and detracts
from the service that would be
performed by legitimate enter
prises: The government itself
is using such a vast amount of
press agency stuff that the aver
age editor hasn't time to select
the good from the bad. and in
consequence about all of it goes
into the wastebasket. One very
effective way to help win the war
with Germany is to put into the
army about three fourths of
these press agents, private and
government controlled, that are
burdening the mails with useless
stuff--B. r. State Times.

company had hit one of his
mules
Now, Mr.. Jones'" said the
attorney for the corporation to
the aggrieved party, who oc-
cupied the witness stand, will
you kindly tell the court
whether or not your mule was
on the track, the property of the
defendant, when hit by the
train?'
well, SIR" replied Mr.. Jones,
Il didn't witness the occurrence,
but l suppose things must have
been about as you say. This
was a pretty bright mule, and

out after him in the woods which
fringe the track there where he
was killed, he would have gotten

|EXPLAIN DAYLIGHT SAVING,

On Sunday morning, March 81,
every watch and clock in America
is to be turned forward an hour.
At ? a. m. the hands of the clock
are to be turned forward to three.
This means that if you have been
in the habit Of rising at six
o clock in the past, you will get
up am hour earlier on Sunday
morning. If you have been ac-
customed to dine at six O'Clock in
the evening, according to the
hands Of the clock you will still
dine at six, but in reality you will
eat your dinner at five o'clock. In
the same way you will retire 10
bed an hour earlier by sun time,
but to judge by the clock you will
go to sleep at your usual hour.
Thus, while the new scheme, of
course, will not alter the habits of
the sun, moon and stars, or
change the movements Of the
tides, it will alter the habits OF
everyone, in that we will all do
what we have been accustomed to
do one hour earlier than usual, as
long as the new arrangement
may remain in effect. Otherwise
matters will continue as formerly.
The new scheme affects, in a
sense, the daily life and routine
of every one Of us. Consequent
| ly, we will all be interested 10
find out how it works. We Will
have a whole Sunday in which TO
discuss the situation and get it
Strengthened out before we go to
work on Monday morning. The
innovation is interesting. No
doubt, it will cause many extra
yawns on Monday morning, for
those who have been accustomed
to retire at a certain hour and
obtain a certain amount of sleep,
may feel that they are being de-
prived Of a portion of their rest,
and have difficulty in adjusting
themselves to the new order.
However, time accustoms us to all
things. Innovations are to be ex-
pected in time Of war, and we
should adjust ourselves good
humoredly to every situation.
Some of you who read this may
explain the simple matter of adj
vancing the hands Of the clock to
members Of your family or to
your friends, and help them to
understand exactly what is going
to happen. You will be sur
prised to find how difficult it is to
enable everyone to understand
just what must be done to make
the first daylight saving schema
ever attempted in this country
develop without misunderstood
ing. and without a hitch.-N. Q.

PRAYER.

There is no good reason for
any body to be ashamed to have
it known that he is one who
prays. Rather it is a shame to
any one not to be a person OF
prayer. What should be thought
of a young person who has been
tenderly cared for in infancy,
watched over in all the sickness
of childhood, educated at great
expense, and yet who expresses
no thanks for the sacrifices of
his parents, who even declines
to speak to father Or mother or
show anys signs of recognition
of their presence? 1t is fair
illustration of the behavior of the
prayerless person.
Washington was a man OF
prayer, Lincoln was a man of
prayer, Gladstone was man
of a prayer. Wilson is man OF
prayer. The noblest, and pure
est men and women on earth are
persons of prayer. The one
who praylys belong therefore in
exceeding good company. The
one who never prays-where
does he belong?
Prayer does not consist IN re-
peating high sounding phrases
in the hearing of others.
Prayer is the burden of
sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye
When one but God is near
It is honorable to pray. 1t is
noble to pray. It is manly as
well as womanly to pray. 1t is
uplifting and strengthening &c
pray. Form the habit.-Ex.

GIRLS! .WHlTEN YOUR SKIN
WITH LEMON JUICE
Make beauty lotion for few cents to
remove tan, freckles, saIIoWness.

Your grocer has the lemons and any
drug store or toilet counter will supply
you with three ounces of orchard white
for few cents. Squeeze the juice OF
two fresh lemons into bottle, then put
in the orchard white and shake well.
This makes a quarter pint of the very
best lemon skin whitener and complexion
beautifer known. Massage this fra
grant, creamy lotion daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands and just see how
freckles, tan, sallowness, redness and
roughness disappear and how smooth,
soft and clear the skin becomes. Yes!
1t is harmless, and the beautiful results
will surprise you.

AGAINST SUBMARINES.
Navy Officials Have No Reason to
Change Their Opinion That the
Submarine Menace is

| Washington satisfaction is
found by officials here in the unoffi-
cial accounts of the destruction of the
British liner Tuscania by IL German
submarine which showed that de-
stroyer, presumably British, gave chase
to the raider and possibly sank it with
a depth bomb.
Sorrow over the first loss Of trans
port laden with American troops is
tempered by the growing total of sur
vivors, and the dominant emotion
among army and navy men now is the
desire TO strike back
Navy officials see no reason to
change their opinion that the subma-
rine menace is being overcome. The
Tuscania incident is regarded rs an
isolated case which may serve to de-
velop additional methods for repelling
the undersea craft and improving the
convoy system. No details of the ac-
ton will be passed over when full re-
ports from the British admiralty are
available.
Many devices enter into the battle

tors. Others have been greatly i'm
proved since the United States entered
the war, and the detection apparatus
now installed on American craft is so
successful that British craft are being
equipped.
There have been indications that the
U-boats have learned to fear this abil-
ity of American craft to locate them at
