prolonged applause. The speaker
paid a fitting tribute to Mayor j. j..
Smoak and the members of Bam-
berg's city council, and stated that
within a very short time they would
have expended the sum of $4,000 so
wisely and judic:ously that improve
ments will have been realized the
equivalent of which have never been
even contemplated by any previous
city administration. And yet these
needs were being met and overcome
with such good judgment and busi-
ness ability and loyalty on the part
of our citizens that no burdensome
debt was being incurred. Mr.. Kearse
said, however, that we must not rest
on our laure1s, but appealed to the
people to be up and doing. He dis
cussed several other minor improve
ments badly needed in our town and
advanced the idea Of a complete and
adequate sewerage system and urged
the citizens and the council to rally
to its support even to the extent of
bonding the town if such course
should prove necessary. He said that
with so much good work already put
forth there was much yet to be done,

DAYLIGHT SAVING BILL
Is VETOED BY WILSON


/ Washington, July ~. - The day
light saving law was rescued from re-
peal today by President Wilson S
veto Of the agricultural appropria-
tion BILL
AT the same time the president
also vetoed the sundry civil appro-
priation BILL, because, he said, Ssby
restricting funds it crippled the work
Of rehabilitating and restoring 1dis-
abled soldiers and sailors to civil life.
The latter veto was apparently ac-
eepted by. Congress- without contest
and the sundry civilr bill went Nback
to committee toabe reframed.
The veto of daylight saving, how
ever, was not, accepted ! so readily,
although the prevailing opinion was
that necessary two-thirds vote to
repass it over the presidents head
probably would not be mustered.
The first test will come in-, the
House Monday, when, according alto
announcement, Republican Leader
Mondell or Chairman Haugen, of the
agriculture committee, will move the
repassage of the bill, with the day
light saving repeal intact, over the
presidential veto.
Both bills provide funds for which
agencies of the government long have
been waiting. They already are
months behind schedule because they
failed of ordinary passage in the last
Congress.
In regard to returning the agricul-
tural bill without his signature, the
president said:
81 realize, of course, the grave in
convenience which may arise from
the postponement of the legislation
at this time, but feel obliged to,with-
hold my signature because of Z the
clause which provides that at and
after 2 o'clock am, Sunday, October
20, 1919, the act entitled "Act to
Save Daylight and to Provide Stand
ard Time for the United States" APP
proved March 19, 1918, be and the
same hereby is repealed
81 believe that the repeal of the
act referred to would be of very
great inconvenience to the country,
and think / am justified in saying
that it would constitute something
more than an inconvenience. 1t would
involve a serious economic loss. The
oct of March 10, 1918, to save day
lioht resulted from careful study
Of industrial conditions and brought
about substantial economics. That
act was Intended To place The chief
business activities of the country as
nearly as mioht be within the limits
Of daylight throughout the wear. II
resulted in verv great economies of
fuel and in substantial economy Of
energy because Of the very different
effects of work done in the DAYLIGHT
and work done by artificial light.

$500 IN CASH PRIZES FOR
OVERSEAS EXPERIENC FS

Nearly every lad who went overseas
has an interesting story to tell-pa-
thetic, amusing or tender-of some

Pierre who crept in to eat with him
at mess; or Marcelline whom he
found, white-faced and terror-strick-
en-, in the cllar Of ruined house,
or Henri, whose father was killed in
the trenches and whose mother was
taken to Germany by the enemy; OF
it may have been Aimee who insist
ed upon being adopted by the "Amer-
icaine." At any rate, there is always
a story and a child
For such stories as these, or sim
pie ones telling Of the friendship be-
tween the French child and the Amer
lean soldier, 178 cash prizes are Of

during the war in any capacity, or

are invited to compete for these priz-

Mr.. C. E. Lovett, division super
visor of the American Red Cross
visited the Covington chapter Mon
Gay, and met with the executive COM
ntltee. Mr. Lovett was much pleas
ed with the work which has oeon &C
complished in the past by the CoVing-
ten chapter and its branches through
out the county; but urged that NJ
cne should feel that with the coming
OF peace the work of the Rel Cross
was at an end
"The Red Cross existed befois the
war; said Mr. Lovett, "and was al
IeaGy doing great work of soc al
service. OF course, the war caused It
to 'xpand and the people have be-
come acquainted chiefly with its war
activities; in fact, so pleased are
the people with the satisfactory SER
vice that has been rendered, that
even were the Red Cross disposed so
to do, the public would not permit
it to end its usefulness.
The people in the war-stricken
areas are still in destitute circum-
stances, and many months will pass
before they can again be self-support-
ing. In Belgium, Poland, Russia,
Siberia, France, Armenia and other
devastated countries, the Red Cross
is still carrying on it's work of mer-
cy.
{ Sat home there is a broadening
Sphere of service. In our schools, the
children should all be taught lessons
of hygiene, home sanitation and first
aid, A knowledge of first aid rene
dies and application thereof has Of
ten been the means of saving the life
of some one injured or apparently
drowned.
"Many of the chapters are employ
ing trained nurse, who has also
taken a special course in social SER
vice, This nurse gives her whole time
to the people Of the county who are
in need of her services, goes into
their homes when someone is sick,
and gives the members of the house
hold instruction asyto the care of the
sick person, sees that the surround
ings and sanitary conditions are con
ducive to an early recovery. When
not visiting in homes throughout the
county, she will be in her office,
where every person in the county
will be free to consult her in matters
of health"
After finishing his inspection here,
and complimenting the local officials
on the wonderful work that had been
accomplished in the past and the ser
vice which was still being rendered,
Mr., Lovett left for Ripley, where he
will make a similar visit.
