to market has not been found profit
able, as they can not be driven any
distance in cold weather. while in hot
weather the trip causes overheatlnS'
deterioration of flesh, and a slow mar
ket with the packers. Cattle are be-
ing brought in in specially constructed
auto-trucks, and hogs and sheep are
hauled in double decked motor trucks
With good roads around Cincinnati it
is reported that such transportation
promises to be permanent, the stock
being hauled cheaper than by railway,
arriving in better condition and in
quicker time.

THE NEW DAY.

The daylight saving law enacted by
congress is now in effect. 1t is de-
signed to substitute an hour of sun
light at one end of the day for an
hour of artificial light at the other.
The idea on which it is based orig
mated with Benjamin Franklin but
the modern proposal came first from
William Willett. an Englishman, who
in 1907 published a pamphlet entitled
Waste of Daylight"
Germany adopted the measure in
1916. Within ii short time Holland,
Austria, Turkey, England. France,
Norway. Sweden. Denmark. Italy,
Switzerland, Spain. Portugal and parts
of Canada, together with a few cities
in the United States. followed.
The new arrangement should cause
no serious disturbance to business or
the ordinary activities of the people.
While it may be productive of some
slight Inconvenience at first there is
much to commend it. 1t will enable
the hired worker to combine those por-
tions of daylight which belong to him
to some purpose whereas heretofore it
has been of little use because his
days work was sandwiched in be-
tween his spare hours. He will find
himself in possession of a work day
and day of rest or recreation in the
same twenty-four hour period.

After waiting nearly four years the
allies have done what they should nave
done in the beginning of the war They
have chosen supreme war head.
And in selecting General Foch they
probably have chosen wisely. Every
thing else being equal, the place would
naturally fall to a Frenchman. France
has more at stake than any other
country and the fighting is in her ter
ritory The success which Germany
has attained in the war doubtless Is
due to her high command. The move
ments of the armies of Austria, Bull
garia and Turkey have been directed
nv Ludendorff His orders have been
supreme and have been obeyed with
out question. The action of the allied
war council will tend to increase the
confidence of civilized peoples in the
early triumph of the allied arms. The
Spirit of the French at Verdun is be-
ing manifested all along the front
and has been voiced by Premier Glenn
enceau, who declares that no matter
what happens they cannot pass. That
the Huns have about reached their
limit is evidenced by the fact that they
are beginning to dig in.

TRAWElETTE
The ZimhahMe KuinS.

In a far-off corner of southeastern
Africa are hidden the ruins of a once
mighty city, called in present times
the Zimbabwt, or buildings of stones
The more fanciful of the scientists
declare that the time of Moses may
have seen the building of these crum-
bli-. walls, but the weight of evil
dente seems to prove that the city is
only about ten centuries old. What
ever the true dates of the cityS his
tory, certainly it's ruins today are in
appearance very old, very moss hung,
and very picturesque.
There is nothing sad about the
slipping away of these relics of the
past, SO gra dually they have sunk into
the soil and broken down with the
pressure of time and weather. Their
day Of glory and prosperity was over
some centuries ago, and they rest
dreamily in the sunshine. Bright
flowers deck the walls and fill the
gaping holes: creepers wind their way
everywhere as if trying to hold the
remaining stones together; and tall
trees spread their branches wide to
temper the heat of the mid day sun
and shelter the stones from the chill
of tn event; g.
Here il the past was the center
of trade and worship for a South
African nation. The fortress guard
ing the city fl its almost inaccessible
pos ton was once encircled by a wall
of stone over twelve feet thick rest
ing on a rocky cliff foundation. From
lookout towers on the wall the guards
could sean the country for miles
around and hurl stones and other
weapons down upon any hostile force.
Beyond the wrecked fortress stands
the shell of the temple. sacred to the
worship of Baal, whence came the
oracles and words of guidance for the
people. Between the remains of fort
ress and temple, lie what is known
today as the Valley of Ruins, a maze
Of walls in all stages of dilapidation.
Only birds and snakes inhabit this
fallen metropolis. but out beyond the
OLD city the mines from which the
nation derived it's wealth are being
worked by the most modern methods

Brave Deeds of Men I'm
Americas Fighting Service

Sighting a silver painted periscope
a thousand yards distant, the T. S.
navy armed guard on the steamship
Nyanza, while in the war zone, en-
gagged a German submarine in battle.
The engagement lasted two hours.
The U-boat fired about two hundred
shots while the American used but
ninety-two rounds. The first shots
from the guard on the ship fell short
and the German came to the surface,
opening fire with her guns and giving
chase Her first shots fell short, but
eventually the Nyanza was hit five
times One shot passed thru gun
platform, a shelter house and an iron
deck, breaking a beam and tearing
thru the sides of the ship. Another
shot exploded in a locomotive that
was on the deck. Then the American
gunners picked the real range and
with great rapidity fired four shells at
1900 yards, causing the submarine to
come to broadside and keel over.
Suddenly the enemy disappeared AS
the chef gunner reported: He did
not quit from choice but from neces-
sity" The navy armed guard was in
command of Chief Gunner's Mate
Benjamin H. Groves, U s. N. who
has been commended by Secretary
Daniels. Groves enlisted in the navy

SCHOOL ALL THE YEAR.

! 1t is now proposed to extend the
conservation idea to the public
schools. 1t seems recently to have
dawned on some persons that empty
| schoolhouses and idle pupils during
three or four months in each year are
serious waste of time and latent
| energy. The suggestion seems to be
not wholly without merit.
Why should schoolhouses costing
many millions of dollars stand unoc-
cupied thru a fourth or a third of the
year? Why should children have a
vacation of. twelve to sixteen weeks
while their elders must be contented
| with two?
Don't close the schools; use them
to maximum capacity says Franklin
K. Lane, secretary of the interior. In
accordance with this idea, the United
States bureau of education is suggest
| ing that country and village schools
be kept open during the summer
wherever the school funds make this
at all possible.
After deducting holidays" Com
missioner of Education Claxton states.
| the annual school term in most of
our American cities is not more than
$50 days. In many cities and towns
the number of actual school days is
still less. This means that children
who are never absent attend school
less than half the days of the year, a
little more than one hour in ten. For
| merly the school year was much
| longer in the cities of this country as
it is now in most other countries. In
recent years school officers and the
people generally are beginning to feel
| that there is no need for the very long
summer vacation, and that some OPP
children as will make better use of it
than loafing on the streets. This has
resulted in many cities in some form
of summer school. 1t is the opinion
of this bureau that this movement
should be encouraged"
According to statement of the bureau
of education. children speak enthusiast
tically of the all-year schools in cities
where they are organized. The state
ment made by the bureau is to the eff
feet that nearly all children say that
the school room is much cooler than
| the streets and their rooms at home
that they have nothing to do except to
collect in gangs on the street; and they
may gain a grade or two. Parents OF
pupils who have gone to all-the-year-
round schools were interviewed by the
bureau to get their reasons for send
ing their children to school in July
and August. The brochure states that
without exception all were in favor
of the all-year plan

and brooded the next. He read the
society notes in the morning paper
before looking at his correspondence,
and always laid them aside with re-
lief at not seeing her name.
He felt that the warning of the
senior warden was true, and that he
was losing his grip. How was he to
know that in the neighboring city a
girl often cried herself to sleep with
his name on her lips?
falling log reused him from his
reverie. He rose, packed his bags,
and gave a few instructions to his
housekeeper- He would go to the city,
catch one glimpse of her face and
then hide, no matter where.
The postman passed and threw a
letter upon the porch. There was hut
the one, and a glance at the super
scription brought his heart into his
mouth. He devoured rather than
read. the contents:
My Dear Mr.. Nelson: I feel
that you will be interested in a
piece of news. Mr.. Raymond has
proposed at last-not to me, but to
mamma. No wonder he was so
long making up his mind. for he
no doubt chivalrously hesitated at
the pain his decision would cause
me. They are to be married next

and that we may meet again some
day. Very sincerely,
"Muriel Waring."
Ten minutes later the rector called
his housekeeper. and after short in
terview with her, left her in tears of
JOY. Then he stepped to the telephone
and called the senior warden, his voice
vibrant with happiness.
Il start for the city tonight" he
said, land will be away for a month.
Do not let the poor and sick of the
parish suffer in my absence. When I
return. please God, my wife and l will
visit them together. Goodbye" And
the telephone bell tinkled a joyous re-
frain in the astonished senior vestry-
mans ear,

The highways leading to Cincinnati
came into very wide use for motor
truck hauling of livestock to the stock
yards of that city last year says the
Manufacturers Record. This method
of transportation is comparatively
new and grew out of railway conges-
ton, which compelled farmers to find
other ways of reaching market. Dur
ing the year there were hauled over
highways from radius of thirty miles
77.244 hogs. 23.61s sheep and 2S,545
calves. with 27.721 head of cattle.
