The Farmers View.

f. FL. Hawbaker, a prominent and
well known Marion township farmer,
has written the following letter which
was published in the Des Moines Reg
lister:
Stratford, IOwa.-TO the Editor: l
wish to take issue with the statements
regarding the daylight saving law
made in the clipping from the New
York Globe published in The Des
Moines Register of Feb. q.
That it was failure from the far
mer's point of view is shown by the
fact that great majority of farmers
found it convenient to adhere to the
old schedule despite the Inconvenience
of being an hour late according to the
new law. -
The new schedule puts the farmer
and his teams in the field in the hot
test time of the day in the hottest sea
son of the year, very materially reduc-
ing the efficiency Of both. On account
of dews in the morning during the hay
ing, harvesting and threshing season, it
causes the loss of an hour of the best
working time of each day.
The plan may cut the lighting bills
of the city worker but it adds to those
of the farmer Move the farmers sche-
dule on April ! ahead an hour, which
changes his gettingl up time from 3 to
1 a. ,ln., and you add prOportiOnate
amount of da rkness to his working
hours until the schedule is moved back
again. IA ~
We do not believe the assertion that
the plan has added an extra hour for
recreation. 1t has only moved the time
of recreation ahead an hour. The
movies, the theaters and other forms Of
public amusements are the same length
as before. Those who enjoyed out of
door forms of amusement had sufficient
timei under the old schedule.
Why cannot the city worker go to
work an hour earlier without changing
the clock? If the city worker is going
to insist upon the Encouragement of mis-
working hours, the daylight saving
plan, in spite of the resulting incon,
yenience and inefficiency caused the
farm producer, he must then concede
higher prices for farm products; or
lower prices for farm supplies due to
his own increased efficiency and con-
venience.
The convenience and efficiency of
one class should not be increased ut the
expense of another without proper re-
muneration.

Hugh NJ. Tre,naine,

The following complimentary men
ton of a scion Of former well known
and highly respected Hamilton county
family will be read with interest by
our older citizens. Hugh NJ. Tremaine

Tremaine, and friends here last week
Wednesday evening. He is now assis-
tant regional engineer over the same
railroads of which Mr.. r. H. Ashton
is regional director. Mr.. Tremaine's
duties give him supervision over all
work and railroad proper
ty in several states. There is one 9TH
err assistant engineer, and one regional
engineer under Mr.. Ashton. Mr.. Ire
maine's headquarters are. in st. Paul.
Prior to the taking over of the roads
by the government, Mr.. Tremaine was
engaged in construction work In the
west. He was construction engineer
on several tunnel jobs in the far west,
one of the tunnels being several miles
in length. His rise to the front in rail
road work has been rapid and none are
more proud of his success than his old
time friends here in Eagle Grove. He
was graduated with the class of 1900
and after a years training under the
sage at Packman's corner attended
Ames college and then went into rail

VICTORY GARDEN

Growing Victory Gardens
"AntidOte for BOlsheviki

Y. M.
AMERICANISM OBJECT
Y. M. C. A. is Planning 1919
Campaign for War
Gardens.
AMERICANIsM OBJECT
(By The Associated Press. J

Washington, d. c., March 14.-Amer-
icanism illustrated in growing victory
gardens is ''the best antidote for Boil
shevik doctrine according to the
Young Mems Christian Association,
which is planning 1919 campaign of
"Americanism and the speaking of Eng
lish language via the victory garden"
Details of the campaign were COM
pleted here today by the national war
garden commission, cooperating with
the immigration department of the
Young Mems Christian Association in
Chicago. Plans also provide for the
showing of the victory garden work in
moving pictures throughout the coun-
try.
To start off the campaign ten tllous-
and garden and canning books have
been sent to Chicago in addition to
several thousand posters. The Young
Mems Christian Association had $50
acres of Industrial gardens last year
and they hope to better that record this
year. These gardens are 25x15O feet.
A Constructive Campaign.
''This is one of the most construc-
tive campaigns yet undertaken" said
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the
national war garden commission today.
do not forget that the garden pro
duces something besides food. 1t pro-
duces thrift SO important to the nation
at this time. Then too, it means con-
tented workers everywhere. The man
with a victory garden realizes the
value of home and he knows the
value of making regular trips to the
bank. Then too, the incentive to get
out in the open and speak the English
language is of tremendous value.
1.-The banks of the country know
the home food producer for a good Gus
toner and good citizen. The time
to begin making that citizenship is
when the citizen is new. The best anti
dote for Bolshevik doctrine is the pro-
duction of food for the kichen door,"
Many Starve in Europe.
p. s. Ridsdale, secretary Of the ma
tional war garden commission, has just
returned from Europe where lie spent
three months studying the home food
production plans. He points out that
everything possible must be done in
the United States to produce food close
to the point of consumption i'll order
that other, food stuffs that can be ship
ped long distances can be sent abroad.
There are millions in Europe close to
the point of starvation according to re-
ports from abroad.
Serbia, too, is to learn all about vic
tory gardening. Professor w. c..
O'Kane of the State Agricultural COL
lege at Durham. n. H.. has prepared
garden circular for distribution this
summer in Siberia by the agricultural
educational expedition under the, aus
pices of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Pictures from the ma
tional war garden commission victory

which has been translated into Rus

Let Our School Work
 Be More Practical

Now that county supentin- dency,is to be instituted in this county with the beginning of the New Year it might not be amiss to make some suggestions re- lating to school needs.
 In receiving for publication manuscrip written by people of every walk in life from the unlettered as well as those who have had the advantages of high school and college training. We are in a position to speak authoritatively on the subject of English of the average person. The punctuation or the lack of it of the vast majority of papers submitted for publication is something appalling.
 The carelessness and unconcern manifested toward this import ant phase of English by the people pretending to be cultured is past understanding. One of the main reasons tor the mastery technical grammar is to enable the student to punctuate. It is matter of common knowledge that the meaning of a sentence often depends upon is punctua- tiOn.
 In view of the fact that the art of punctuation depends upol principles easily mastered that it lends itself to the work of al the grades the woful ignorance displayed on this subject is in- excusable.
 Of course the editor may be able to punctuate your manu- script for you. Indeed he may be able to spell correctly the mis- spelled words and to correct the capitalization of your manu- script but that does not acquit you of the charge of ignorance.
 In all seriousness the time has come for the teachers of Frank len County to equip cur boys and girls to do things of a practical nature to train then to take their places in the business and professional world. Surely we have a right to expect a student of the eighth grade to be conversant with the rules of punctuation some one besides the pupit and parent must as- sume the blame. Contributed.

SHOWS FALL STYLES

The crowds Of people visiting the
Bromberg store, at its new location,
No. 4i3 Market street, have been de-
lighted with the fine quality and ar
tistic STYLES of the wOmen's garments
displayed there. The line is very COM
plete, and reasonably priced. Since
me stock was purchased at a time

the Bromberg store is able to offer the
goods at a bargain.
OF special interest just now Is
beautiful line OF furs. including neck
pieces, muffs and coatsNt prices that
are so far below the average that
they seem absurd. Many beautiful fur
coats cut in the latest styles, that
cannot be duplicated elsewhere for a
hundred dollars, are offered at prices
averaging seventy-fve dollars.
Mr.. Bromberg recently bought sew
eral lots OF women's skirts. He OBJ
tanned them at a sacrifice. As soon
as the fall opening got under way last
week these skirts were noticed and
in no time many Of them were being
worn on the streets. The skirts were
so attractive that yesterday Mr.. Brom-
berg was asked to duplicate several.
