CHANGE OF TIME
TO START SUNDAY

Those of our people who are in the
habit of getting up early anyway will
not be affected by the change Of time
which goes into effect on Sunday
morning at o'clock. Under the fed
eral law passed during the war the
clocks are to be pushed ahead Sunday
morning one hour, and it is known
as the daylight saving law. So eth
er Saturday night when you go to bed
push your clock ahead one hour or
get up at 2 O'Clock in the morning
and do it which ever way you feel like.
1t is all the same. You people who
contemplate buying railroad ticket
to travel next Sunday and there after
want to remember this change Of time.

wrongful methods.
The Bolshevik hates with equal fer

has bought shelter for his family
and the man of larger ENTERPRISE
whose broader ventures have afford
ed Linn greater wealth.
The Bolsheyik is an idler who
you'd reap where he does not SOW

not achieved by work.
Wherever this spirit exists Ra!shc.

ana declares it the purpose of his or

Francis Sisson, a DISTINGUISHED f.
nancier, recognizes it and deprecates
the growing hatred of those large

to the happiness and welfare of the

Hard work never killed anybody.
But hard work, with irregular hours

and are used the world over. Ask
