K-C Boulevard
Meeting Monday

The annual convention Of the Kan
sas-Colorado Boulevard Association
will meet in Ordway on Monday of
next week 1t is likely that quite
number of the delegates will ar

ter and citizens in general are in
vited to attend them. There will be

and if they need more rooms will
call on some of the towns-people to

The Crowley County
Soldiers and Sailors Club

The above is the name of the
new organization of returned
soldiers and sailors. formed at

ago in Ordway at which time
sixteen of the returned SOL

as follows:
Robt. .Weatherwax, chairman
Everett Nelson, secretary.
Harry Lyons, treasurer.
So far more than eighty of
the boys have returned from
the service to Crowley county,
and more of them would have
been at the organization meet
ing had they been able to get
here, but most of them state
that they will be in a posi-
tion to affiliate and attend
many of the meetings.
On Wednesday night of this
week drill practice was held
and preparations made for TAX
ing active part in the Decora-
tion day services here on
Thursday of next week. These
soldiers and sailors will march
in the parade and will possib-
ly do some drilling which will
be an important part of the
program that day.
The list of returned men
as published last week was not
complete, but as nearly SO as
could be made at that time.
Since then the secretary has
received several names and
added them to tho list and as
fast as other boys return they
will be recorded.

Daylight Law Is
Facing Knockout
l@@@H FAgHn@BA@4S DAY. 1919 D.
Written for the New Era
BY SENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER

Petitions signed by more than
900 persons have been received
by me praying for q repeal of the
so-called Daylight Saving law by Con-
gress. The law may have served
scme useful purpose during the war,
but the emergency occasioning Its
enactment has passed and 1t should
now be repealed in response to the
popular demand provoked by Its man
ifest injustice, especially to the farm
ing community. / have bill ask
ilg congress to repeal this law at
once.
The demand for repeal Is based on
sound, economic reasons. Waste
amounting in the aggregate to bill
lion dollars a year results from the
operation of the Daylight Saving law,
it has been estimated. On farms, in
mines, in packing establishments, in
numerous large Industries. the law
operates to curtail rather than in
crease production, without a cores
ponding benefit to the woker.

Reasons:

Reasons:
"a daylight saving" adds one
hour of darkness instead of daylight
to the farmers day.
(2) Farmers shipping milk or
other perishable food supplies must
meet trains an hour earlier than
before April 1.
(3) Farm children frequently go
long distances to school, and mother
must get them ready by lamplight,
90 During haying and harvest 1t
takes four hours for the dew to
evaporate so hay or grain can be
baIed or stacked, or q binder oper-
ated.
CD The hottest part of the day is
from 12 to / o'clock "old time" I'm
der new" time a farmer must send
his hands and his horses to the field
during the most intense heat.
CO. Extra labor hired during har-
vest. haying and threshing is usually
from the towns and used to working
according to the clock. Such hands
inaist on quitting at O'Clock new"
time, or 3 o'clock "old" time. when
the sun is still three hours high.
90 Farmers attending prayer
meetings, neighborhood and com
munity gatherings and entertain
ments, must quit an hour earlier
than they would under "Ofd" time.
and thus lose an hour of work time.
go To get into the stores or
banks in towns. which operate under
new time the farmers must start an
hour earlier than he is accustomed
to start.
80 There is constant friction and
loss of time while exchanging work
with neighbors, a custom that is
necessary during haying. harvest and
threshing. Farm hands refuse to
work by new" time one day and by
'old" time the next.

Virtually Impossible
To Ignore Daylight Law.

Opposition to the law Is 80 great
in the rural districts that sore 10
calities declined to set their time
pieces ahead this year and are oD-
Grating under sun time, regardless
of the law. This places them at
great disadvantage in their dealings
with townspeople, ms they must get
to town before the morning trains
leave (by now time) and with their
milk and other products and in the
afternoons before the banks close
(elso under new time.)
From the thousands of letters OF
p-. test received l have been able to
classify the objections to the Law

TO LIMIT USE OF LIGHT
TO CONSERVE ITS COAL
Berlin Planning Restrictions.
Changing Closing Hours Of
Public Places Is Proposed.

BERLIN, September IL Correspond
ence Of the Associated Press).-To
conserve Berlin's coal supply a move
will be made to change the closing
hours for cafes and restaurants from
1880 pm. to an earlier hour not yet
decided upon. The theaters and res
taurants will be restricted in their
use of light and Berlin will have to
expect a material restriction even
before the winter. 40 that coal can
be saved.
The railroad service also will be
materially restricted: sleeping cars
and dining cars will probably be en-
tirely abolished owing to the increas-
ing shortage Of locomotives.
Germany is now short of $50 loco
motives, while $4,000 cars are due to
France.
There seems no lack of raw ma
terials to the railroad foundries. but
the workmen cannot, or will not, de.
liver their peace-time quality or
quantity Of labor. A locomotive in
peace time could be built in a week
by 115 workmen. Now 213 workmen
are necessary to build one.
Berlin have published an appeal to
the miners of Germany, urging in
creased production, since, they say, .
catastrophe threatens Berlin through
lack of coal, which makes 1t impos-
sible to produce building materials,
notably cement.
Waterways are being used in all
possible cases as substitute for
steam transportation.
