CLOCKS BACK SUNDAY.
United States Will Revert to "OId
Time" at 2 A. NJ, the 26th.

The people of the United States
will back up their clocks one hour next
Sunday morning at o'clock. which
period marks the end OF the daylight
saving measure.
The daylight saving bill was passed
by congress as a war measure, on
March 10, 1918. and was repealed by
congress last summer. after President
Wilson had twice vetoed different re.
peal measures.
Though October 26 will put the
hands OF the clocks back, that date
will not restore the western portion
of southern Idaho to pre-war clock
time, because that section of the state
was transferred from mountain time
t. the zone Of Pacific time while the
daylight saving law was in operation.

THE THREE CROSSES

The iron cross is black as death and
hard as human hate;
The wooden cross is white and still
and whispers us, TOO Late"
But the Red Cross sings of life and
love and hearts regenerate.
The iron cross is boastful cross and
marks the warmad slave;
The wooden cross is a dumb, dead
cross and marks a shallow grave,
But the Red Cross reaches out it's
arms to solace and to save.
The iron cross is kaisers cross and
narrow is it's clan;
The wooden cross is a soldiers cross
and mourns its partisan,
But the Red Cross is the Cross of One
who served his fellowman.
