PRESIDENT WILSON VETOES
LIGHT-SAVIN ACT REPEAL
Second Time Chief Executive Refused
to Sign Observation-Disclosures
to Do So.

Washington, Aug. 16.-President
Wilson vetoed the bill repeating the
daylight saving law. The president
said he did so with "the utmost reluc-
lance" because he realized 'the very
considerable and in some respects
very serious inconvenience to which
the daylight saving law subjects the
farmers of the country"
This is the second time the president
has vetoed repeal of the law by which
the clocks are set forward an hour on
the last Sunday in March and turned
back an hour the last Sunday in Octo-
Der. The first veto was several weeks
ago, the repeal being attached as a
rider to the annual agricultural bill.

OVERRIDES DAYLIGHT VETO
House Passes Repeal Bill by Six More
Votes Than Was
Needed.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Repeal of the
daylight saving law was practically
assured when the house passed the
bill over President Wilson's veto. 1t

than the necessary two-thirds. The

get RICH QUICK" ,
HOT after YOUR
LIBERTY BONDS
Secretary Glass Warns Bond Holders
To Keep Bonds Or Sell Only To
Some Reputable Bank Or
Trust Company

The farmer-Or any other American
citizen-who desires to get rich quick
is offered plenty of opportunity these
days to accumulate stock in every
thing from Oklahoma oil to African
rubber. There never were quite so
maIy agents going round helping
others to make their fortunes over
night. Their prey is the Liberty bonds
held by almost every loyal citizen in
the country. They do not ask for
money-they will swap anything for
bonds.
Secretary Of the Treasury Carter
Glass has just issued a statement
warning the public against the un-
serupulous persons who offer to trade
worthless stocks for Liberty bonds,
and against those sharks who at
tempt to persuade bondholders to part
with theif bonds at a price far be-
low par. Every business man knows
that with an adjustment of business
conditions, Liberty bonds will be
worth full face value on the open mar
ket, and nobody should sell bond for
less than its full value except in case
of absolute necessity. Even then, he
should take it to q reputable bank,
consult banker in whom he has con-
fdence. and take his advice. Usually
1t is possible to borrow money on
Liberty bonds at low rate Of interest.
The interest coupons will pay q large
part of this. making the loan cost the
very little. and he will still
retain ownership in. his bonds.
The Treasury Department is taking
every possible step to protect the in
terests Of Liberty bond owners and
expects to bring to justice those per-
sons who seek to defraud patriotic
Americans of their investments.

A Serious Break Down.

The Snow engine at the Power
Plant had another serious break
down Saturday of last week that
will cause the town to be in total
darkness for three or four weeks
and perhaps longer. The opera.
ton OF the steam plant with the
present price of fuel is simply out
OF the question. The operation of
the steam plant would cause an
expense that would be doubled the
revenues of the plant. This is the
second serious breakdown with
this engine within one year, which
makes the up keep of these en-.
glnes uncertain and expensive.

SUGAR AND SALT.

A Western editor says IF
men are the salt of the earth, the
women are undoubtedly the sugar.
Salt is necessity: sugar a luxury.
Vicious men are saltpeter. inditfer-
eut men are the rock salt, and nice
men the table salt. Old maids are
the brown sugar, good natured
matrons the loaf sugar, and the
pretty girls are the fine, pulver-
lied white clarified sugar. Pass
the pulverized sugar. please.

Busy At Work On Plans
For Great Victory Loan

Atlanta. Feb. ...-Headquarters of
the Sixth Federal Reserve District in
Atlanta is almost as busy as though
the campaign were actually under way.
A vast amount of preliminary work
has been made necessary by the indi.
vidual quota system to be tried out for
the first time in the South. The flair
and square" idea is to be carried out
in this, every citizen being assigned a
quota based on his tax returns and
income. II he regards the quota as
unjust, he has the right of appeal to an
adjustment committee. II
The fifth. or Victory Loan will be
necessary II the United States is to
finish the job it started. The war did
not end with the signing of the armis.
tice. 1t will not end even with the
conclusion Of the peace terms. The
war will not be over until the bills
are paid. and it is up to the people of
the United States to pay them-to
feed the soldiers and bring them
home.
The United States had barely begun
to fight when the armistice was sign.
ed, but it had prepared for war on an
enormous scale. This was probably
one of the reasons Germany quit SO
suddenly-she saw that Uncle Sam
was going to war on a big scale. And
now the bills must be paid, either by
taxation or investment. A Victory
bond will be of much more value to all
of us than a stack of tax receipts.
