from waterpower resources than has
any other public body in the English
speaking, if not in the entire, world.
In 1906 the provincial government
OF Ontario, which corresponds to
state government in the United States,
created a commission to investigate
power conditions everywhere in the
province of Ontario. After the pre-
hmlnary reports were submitted by
this investigation commission, a
further commission, known as the
hydro-electric commission of Ontario.
was established. Tentative agree
ments for the supply of power by the
hydro-electric commission to Is cities,
towns and villages of the southern por-
ton OF Ontario were entered into sub
Ject to the approval of the voters Of
the Is cities and towns interested.
Among these cities was Toronto, with
a population of 100000 in 1911.
The power was to be obtained from
Niagara falls. The commission was
empowered by act of parliament to
buy power from the Ontario Power
company, which at that time owned
the waterpower rights of Niagara
falls.

PRESS PRAISED FOR HELPING TO
 SAVE DAYLIGHT
Law Means Millions to Peo pie, Charles L. Pack
 Declares.

Washington, April 5.-Traiae to the press for the way it came to the aid of the national war garden com mission in it's battle to save the day light saving law, threatened with re- peal at the last session of congress, was expressed here today by Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the com mission.
 The staff at the commissions headquarters was quitting for the day one afternoon when one line head in the afternoon papers said that two bills had been introduced to repeal the daylight saving law which goes into effect the last Sunday in 1 March.
 The next day it was discovered that rider had been slipped into an ap- propriation bill that, if the bill pass ed, would repeal the law that gives twenty-one million hours of extra daylight to the people of this country.
 Quick action was needed. MT. Pack was about to take train at New York city for the meeting of the school garden association in Chicago. P. s. Ridsdale, the secretary of the commission, was on an ocean liner not due in New York until two days later. He had been in Europe study ing the home food production cam paigns there.
 Instructions by telegraph opened the fight to save the sunshine for the workers. Scores of employers of a 1 large number of workers received tel egrams asking their views. The con cerns had ploughed and planted acres upon acres of war gardens for their men and they knew the value of day light saving.
 Mayors, heads of department stores. the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, Chambers of Commerce real estate concerns, welfare asso- citations and similar organizations were asked to telegraph their views to congressman. They responded promptly.
 Twenty -four hours later the tele- graphic flood had started" said MT. Pack. "The newspapers then came in to play with as generous a re- sponse as they have given any patrio- tic endeavor during the war. They printed the views that flooded Wash ington and backed this up with edi- torial comment pointing out the value of the extra hour of daylight to the country. Congress was informed quickly as to what the people wanted l know the rider would have been un- horsed had the bill in question ever come to a vote. The thing to do now

is to watch for any similar move in the future.
 "The law goes into effect the last Sunday in March. It stays in effect for 21O days. To one hundred million people that means twenty-one billion extra hours. In other figures that is two billion six hundred and twenty five million extra eight hour days. Think what that means with the world facing food crisis not only to the home food production campaign but to the better health and recreation of the country. Can any sane man want to take that boon away from the bench, shop, desk and counter work CTS of the land? Every leading coun- try in Europe has daylight saving and the United States is the last great country to take it up. Let us keep it up."

Al Reokux man WHOSE, business takes him On
a swing through the rural section OF Iowa de-
eIares that he has found scores Of farmers VINO

part OF their land lie faIIOw cultTvatIng only
that part which they can work without hiring
labor These farmers say they cannot pay the
wages demanded this year and~cone out even,
not to speak of any profit The Keokuk traveller
estimates that In one day he heard OF one thou
sand acres OF land that will not be cultivated
this season
Vow suppose this attitude is general with
Iowa farmers. What viii come OF it, Work
ers argue that high costs make high wages ne
cessarv. Farmers refuse 70 pay wages on the
scale now demanded. Production lessons and
costs 90 higher. In the meantime there Is q
huge class Of workers, outside Of the trades
who are not getting wage increases proportion
ate TO the trade workers and who cannot live
ca their capital Furthermore, high wages
have got to produce themselves; they cannot
scone from any other source than their own
earnings In the long run And If at every step
the disparity between the earnings Of work on
the land and work in the shop grows greater
the whole thing will come TO dead stop. since
on the land is the vital work. We are not Ike

/ THE Gate City has for come time been urging
the necessity Of bringing about just balance
between the farm industry and other industries
Tnquestionably the war period has been one o.
prosperity for farmers; the great grain grow
ing states have more money than they have had
in long time. But the farmer whose holdings
are comparatively small, few hundreds OF
acres, the man upon whom after all the cities
and towns and industrial workers greatly de
pend, declares that he has not experlnced any
bonanza. Industrial conditions are in disorder
| But note this: farm work cannot remain at 9
istandstill as can shop work; it cannot after 8
time be started with rush. 1t is now that w
must get farm labor or suffer results from the
lack OF it. What about It'll
