THE WORLDS NERVES.

I'VE are all on edge neryously,"
says well-known American minis
ter. During the war, fathers and
mothers at home and boys at the
front did not realize that all the
while their nerves were being held
tense. After the armistice was signed
their nerves went on strike, joined a
big union of mutnous nerves That
nervous reaction had to come"
Perhaps that Is really the chief
thing wrong with the world today
morally, industrially and politically.
All this frenzied quest for pleasure
and amusement in many lands--what
is It but an effort to relieve over
strained nerves? Business uneasi-
ness and hesitancy are largely due to
frazzled nerves, too. And 1t Is not
unlikely that in calmer times hereaf-
ter we shall all admit that this cxcit-
ed quarrelling and bitter recrimina-
tion over the peace treaty has been
due to nervous hysteria.

DAYLIGHT.

There is no reason for wringing the
hands over the repeal of the daylight.
saving law Anybody who likes to
get up early in the morning can still
do so without being arrested
With little planning the time can
be used so that although the business
day may end an hour later than UNI
der the daylight saving regime, still,
much can be accomplished in the way
of daylight enjoyment.
The odd tasks-the extra bit of
work which would have peen left un.
til the end OF the day, can be tackled
before the regular days work begins.
The Office books can be made up, the
extra letter written, the repair job
attended to, the machine washed, or
an hours work can be put in in shop
or garden.
Then, when the end of the business
day comes, there will be no odd job
hanging like a sword of Damocles ov-
er the workers head; he can go forth,
free to enjoy what shreds of time and
daylight are left to him.
However II be arranged nobody has
any more nor any less than all the
time there is What he does with it
depends not upon the law but upon
himself.

COURT NEWS

c. G. Crider has commenced an ac-
ton in the common pleas court of
Knox county against Thomas Stone,
in which he seeks to recover the sum
of $3.50.
The plaintiff states in his petition
that on July 10, 1919, the defendant
employed him to find purchaser for
his farm in Miller township. The
plaintiff claims that for such services
he was to receive two per centum.

August IS, 1919, the plaintiff found
purchaser for the farm and that the
sum of $4,000 was paid for the prop
erty. The allegation is now made
that the defendant refuses to pay the
commission, which amounts to $3.50.
The plaintiff therefore asks for
judgment in that sum, with interest
from August 1S, 1919.
