SHALL WE KEEP ALIVE DAYLIGHT
 SAVINGS PLAN?
Chambers of Commerce Seek To Obtain True
 Opinions.

New York, Nov. 26. - Surveys by Chambers of Commerce and indus trial organizations are in progress in sixteen states to ascertain public sentiment regarding continuation of daylight saving and the campaign will be extended throughout the country before next April, according to Marcus M. Marks, president of the National Daylight Saving Associa- tion.
 The states where the movement is under way for permanently exchang- ing .'an hour of night for an hour of light are Massachusetts, New JerseyS Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, Utah, Connecticut, Minnesota and Ken lucky.
 Proponents of the idea in Massa- chusetts, 2,SO0 manufacturers belong ing to the Associated Industries of that state, who are making the sur- vey there, according to MT. Marks, reported that a bill would be intro- duced in the next Legislature which meets in January and that Cit would be supported by majority in both the Senate and the House. New York state for two years has had daylight saving law on its sta.- ute books and, MT. Marks said, any effort to repeal it would be hopeless, without the help of legislators from New York and Buffalo most of whom, he said, had been found in favor of the law. At present the months for daylight saving in New York conform 10 the old Federal statute, from March to October. To have the law uniform, MT. Marks said, an amend will ba intro611oa6 tho time from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in September. The New York Board of Aldermen's re- cent action in passing a daylight say ing ordinance, 1t was said, had iIn- pe1led other cities to take similar steps.
 Fifteen of the eighteen mayors of Connecticut continued MT. Marks, recently voted unanimously at a conference in New Haven to initiate campaigns in their cities at once for daylight saving. Hartford previously had blazed the trail by adopting an ordinance which will be in effect the last Sunday of April next year. Plain- field, N. J., has taken similar action.
 In Baltimore, Md, a referendum vote showed that five out of six were in favor of it. Cincinnati has adopted it, so has St. Joseph, Mich, and we are getting encouraging reports from Hoboken, Jersey City, Paterson, Tren- ton and Camden, N. J., Wilmington, Del, Philadelphia, Scranton and Pitts burgh, Pa; Richmond, Va, Chat tanooga and Memphis, Tenn, Chi cago, Minneapolis St. Paul, Denver, Salt Lake City, Milwaukee, Louis- vile and Lexington, Ky.
 tIt was the intention of the Ma fi0na1 Dav1ipht following the repeal of the Federal law" said MT. Marks, 'tto confine it's efforts this year to the Eastern time zone, but so many cities and towns elsewhere have registered such an emphatic protest against the repeal that we are including the entire coun- try in our movement"

PROHIBITIONISTS
 SEEK UNDERWOOD SEAT IN SENATE

Mobile, Ala. Nov. 26.-Prohibi- tionists of Alabama are going to make a hard fight for the seat of Oscar Underwood, junior United States Senator from this state, according to information from inner circles of the dry forces.
 At present the prohibitionists are manoeuvering to have their strongest man make the fight against MT. Un- derwood, who has been mentioned possible Democratic nominee for the Presidency in 1920. The state is strongly prohibition, and the indica- tions are the Senator will have a hard fight.
 L. B. Musgrove, wealthy prohibi- ton leader of Jasper, Walker County, who announced himself a candidate several months ago and who has re- ceived assurance, has stated he would be glad to retire in favor of any other person who might be agreed upon. It is believed the dry forces will center on Musgrove, who is one of the best campaigners in Alabama.
 The election takes place in May, and the fight will start in earnest in a week or two. Much gossip is now being indulged in as to Senator Un- derwood's plans for his campaign for reelection. It is undestood he will begin his campaign in January on &C., count of the prospect that another fight may be started over the Yer

PAINT AND I%LLITERACY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That 10
caIItIes Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also.

washington, d. Ca curious fact,
has been brought to light by the Edu-,

the states where illiterhcy is most
prevalent paint is least used. The,
paint referred to is the common or
barn variety, Of course, for the back
woods countries have no need for the
finer pigments or facial adornments.
1t Is true, though, that In the sections
of all states where white iliteracy Is
highest painted homes are are and
painted outbuildings and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the

buildings because they do not under.

In case just published by the War Department orders a second lieutenant obtained $10O under false pretences and absent ing himself without leave was given a term of 25 years in prison.
 In explanation of the unheard oi number of courts-martial, members oI Congress point out Secretary Bakers statement that there is nothing wrong with the system of dispensing justice in the army, and his backing up the Prussian ideas of many officers in the regular army.
 It is understood that Colonel Ansell is to be assigned to service from Washington and the seat of his re. forming activities, just as General Leonard Wood was at the beginning of the war removed to Charleston, s C., from New York, where he had been commander of the Department ol the East, and prevented from crossing to France, where, while on an inspec tion tour, he was the only general of ficer wounded in action.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PAPER HAS NEARLY
 MILLION CIRCULATION

"The National Republican" the na- tional Republican party weekly, pub lished at Washington, has now ex- tended it's circulation, it is announced to 90 per cent of all the counties in the country and the circulation is now growing at such a rapid rate that the hope of party leaders for a million circulation for their national mouth piece of Republican opinion bids fair to be realized.
 "The National Republican" issued at the center of national events, prints each week comprehensive, condens- ed review of the happenings bearing upon national and world politics, gives survey of newspaper and personal opinion on public issues, prints the inn portant addresses and statements of political bearing, covers weekly the debates and proceedings of Congress while in session, and is sort of con tinuous handbook of politics and pub lie affairs. The idea is unique in journalism and has proved immensely popular. The reader who wishes to keep up on politics can find no better medium for that purpose.
 "The National Republican" is pub lished and actively supported by Re publican national leaders, not as a financial venture, but as a means of political information and education deemed especially essential at this time when the general channels of in- formation are so completely com manded by the party in power. Il carries no advertising, despite itS large national circulation. It prints weekly some sixty thousand words of news and comment.
 Subscriptions for "The National Re publican" may be left with The Coco. nino Sun. The subscription price k one dollar per year.

TAMPA HUSBANDS
 FACING A HARD FATE

TAMPA, Fla, June 25.-Five hum dred Tampa women have formed the Women's Protective League and say they propose to clean up organized vice by direct action--that they pro- pose to undermine it's support.
 By the establishment of a sort of moral credit bureau this organization proposes to furnish any woman a con fidential report on the double life' of her husband if she wants one. The inquirer does not even need to give her own name in making an inquiry; she may designate a post-ofice box address or any place where an agent of the league may deposit the report on it's investigation.
 Organizers of the bureau say that seventy of their number have pledged to do the Investigating work in the open while the remainder will work in secret.
 "So many have such old reprobates for husbands" said one of the chiefs, "they can't work openly because these husbands won't let them. Therefore they will work secretly"
 The theory of the league is that if a man has not been walking the straight and narrow path one of the five hundred will know about it---or at least can find out.

' ]$*$$<+%%%%*+***S :
 : TAKE ME BACK TO ARIZONA {! *%%+*%*+%*+*+***4 :

The author of the following verses recently passed to the Happy Hunting ground. He was full-blooded Hopi Indian. The product of his pen is of no mean order and indicates peculiar talent in verse making. The main idea involved (the bringing back of the old order of things in Arizona) is not particularly elevating, but his al most savage call for return to those primeval conditions is almost pathetic especially in view of the fact that members of his race were forbidden by law to enjoy with the white man indulgence in the "joy water" of othe days. But, let Mike tell his, own story:
 Take me back to Arizona as it was in early days,
 Ere the cowboy on the ranges had the motion picture craze. Let me see the festive puncher with his broncho on the run, Coming into town and shooting up the
 landscape with his gun. Let me see the chuckawalla and the 1ha AiOhotCi, tOO1 Of the murderous Apache let me get
 fleeting view.
 Let me see frontier squabble as it
 was. in days of yore, When the "bad man" of the borde'
 waded in a sea of gore. Take me back to Arizona and the
 plains of alkali;
 On the cactus-covered mesa in the
 desert let me lie. Let me hear the rattler rattling as he
 crawls about the sand; And the rustic cattle bawling as they
 feel the red-hot brand. Let me see the city marshal make [
 gun-play in the street, And the victim later buried with hi;
 boots upon his feet. Take me back to Arizona; let me set
 poker game, As in the days when it was prudent
 not to ask strangers name. Take me back to Arizona, where the, | sized fellow not
 By the noodle that he carried, but tn, skill with which he shot; Where the towns were short on water
 but all-fired long on gin; Where there never was much mourn
 ing when a fellowman cached in Take me back to Arizona, among tn,
 coyotes, the centipedes and such Where brand-iron was suspected
 and rustler hated much. Take me back to Arizona, when i
 lived it's wild career, And they had a man for breakfas
 every morning in the year. Take me back to Arizona-Arizons
 rough and wild;
 Where the days were dry and dusty
 and the whiskey wasn't mild. Let me live those stirring frontier | days when all was new When the faro-banks were frequent
 and the churches mighty few. Let me join the sheriff's posse and gel
 on horse-thief's track, Where a hanging-bee was likely il l they brought the fellow back. Take me back to Arizona-to tn,
 balmy days I saw,
 When high-heeled boots were in fash
 ion, and six-gun the law!

RT-MARTIAL PROBE
 PROVIDED BY JOHNSON

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Sweep- ing investigation of the system of courts-martial which has been prac- ticed during the war against the Ger man autocracy is provided in reso- lution introduced in the house by Rep resentative Royal Johnson, of South Dakota, who enlisted as private and won the rank of first lieutenant and the distinguished service medal.
 Johnson has prepared statistics to show the colossal injustice done the private soldier during the conflict Four hundred thousand of them have been court-martialed. This he con siders more appalling in view of the fact that the largest number of men enlisted just before the armistice last November was 3,760,0OO, but the big gest number of those in the service long enough to have come thoroughly under it's discipline amount to about 100000. The board of clemency was appointed in the face of public clamor, as the result of the revela- tions, has already recommended 20,00C cases for reduced sentences. Of all the cases examined by the board, 96 per cent has been found to carry ex. cessive and unjust sentences.
 As an example of this, Representa-, tive Johnson says that in one case man was fined three days pay fol willful murder, while another mar was given twenty years for absence without leave. In other cases sen, tences were forwarded to the com. manding officer by the courts-mar.

AN ODD FILIPINO CUSTOM

Of the inherited rover spirit of the wild people of Davaro and their be- lief that the death of member of the family is indicative of the will ot Allah for them to change their homes the Bureau of Forestry says:
 "When some one dies in the house built on the land or homestead given to the head of a family, the entire family will move to another place and in most cases the house is either burned or torn down and the land on which it was built is abandoned fol some years. A wild bird of the pig. con family, locally known as Alimu- kon, is the common god or fortune teller of the wild people of Davao Unless this bird answers favorably to their applications to go back to the old place, their old abode or cbodes are either forever abandoned or left untouched for many years"

MECHANICAL EXISTENCE

After taking an exhaustive survey of life one is led to the conclusion that the machinery business would be a pretty good line to be in!
 Figure it out for yourself.
 You get up in the morning, array yourself in garments built from ma chine-made cloth, eat some machine made breakfast food, drink some ma chine-cut coffee, read newspaper that remarkable machinery has made possible, take a machine known as a street car to your office building where the elevating mechanism hoists you to the floor on which you mechani- cally go through the days tasks.
 You can write your letters by die tating them to a machine from which a girl pounds them out on another machine. A little contraption stand. ing on your desk carried your voice to various parts of the city and brings the conversation of friends and busl. ness acquaintances to your ear. Or dark days you illuminate the gloom by electric light generated in a vast machine-driven power plant.
 At night some friend takes you home in 4-wheeled machine which is mechanical marvel--it gets such 2 startling enormous mileage from 2 gallon of gas, at least to hear sait friend tell about it. You read another newspaper, also printed on machinery of course. For the evening meal yor have soup skillfully canned by some mechanical process, some other can ned goods, and ice cream made by : lot of machinery in big plant. Ther you go to a movie where mechanism reproduces drama on a silver screer for your benefit. You finally hop int. bed assembled from lot of part made by machinery.
 No wonder the machinery busines looks like good line to get into. N wonder a man often gets into tn habit of thinking he's good deal O a machine himself!

THE FRESH" BOY

The teachers favorite is not always the good boy, who comes to school on time, who keeps his eyes demurely on his book. who has the answer ready and right, who minds his own business and keeps out of mischief. Nor is such lad invariably the one who in the long run forges to the front and makes good.
 There is line to he drawn between the "bad" boy and the boy whose ir' repressible animal spirits are always tempting him away from the printed page to playfulness.
 Because he is vivacious he is moi necessarily vicious. Because he is mettlesome and even meddlesome, he is not of the "lowbrow" Lombroso or. der of ruffian.
 Let it be recognized that it is a priceless quality in the human ani. nal, this exuberance that becomes tiresome quickly to anemic, conven- tional, deliberate people.
 There is great hope for the boy who is "too fresh" He is trial indeed in the days of his cubhood. He is im- pertinent and unsuitable. He is Paul Pry, ever exploring and asking ques- tions. He burns his fingers, monkey wise, with insane experiment. You can not say what he will do next, and he keeps the parental heart in the throat with nervous expectancy.
 As the years roll past, circumstan- ces will conspire to wear him down to quench his enthusiasm-to per suade him to desist and submit, and take things easy, and go tamely thru the motions instead of with an ardol splendidly.

MIR. BAKERS EXCUSE
 LACKS COMMON SENSE

The War Department has arranged to sell 5,000,000 yards of denim at prices ranging from 20 to 2S1s cents a yard, whereas it paid from go to 341s cents. The governments loss is thus about 25 per cent. But the politi- cal influence of the farm is large and the farmer and the hired hand in sisted on their customary habiliments.
 But meat products, of which there are 142, 100000 pounds in government warehouses--here is another matter. If this great supply were sold break in the market might occur, of which consumers would get the benefit. The farmers do not want prices to come down.
 Secretary Baker gives various ex- cuses for the meat impoundment. The latest is that the packages are un- usual and the people would not pur- chase.
 Try them, Mir Secretary.

 "In that case," said the mother sadly. q fear our girls are doomed to marry bill collectors.
