on to New Rochelle, and drawing up in

Rochelle Methodist Episcopal Church, Miss
Drexel slipped the gears into neutral,
turned off the spark, put down the brakes

Later, Mamma and Papa Drexel were
notified. 1t is certain that for a time things
must have been very distressing. They
even issued statement. An unheard Of
thing in Droxel circles so far as purely
personal matters are concerned.
"Mr. and Mrs. Drexel have not had the

know nothing whatever about him. Their
daughters wedding Is, therefore, both q

state. The loss of barley last year
was 954,000 bushels; of oats, 3,498. 900
bushels; of wheat, 3,259,000 bushels.

DAYLIGHT SAVING AGAIN.

Congress not having repealed the
daylight saving law, the plan will
go into operation again at 200 a. M,
on March 80, the last Sunday in the
month, when all clocks in the coun-
try will be set ahead one hour and will
so continue until the last Sunday in
October. There was some opposition
to the plan last year. Of course the
same results could be obtained if
everybody were just to get up and
get to work an hour earlier than at
present, but it must be admitted that
it is much easier way to set the
clock an hour ahead so you won't have
to bother with good resolutions. We

The second division played game
of football against the first division
this afternoon. 1 didn't go up to see

We are in the second division you

about the second division? We had
ten per cent of the casualties of the
entire A. E. F. and captured twenty
five per cent of the prisoners and
twenty-five per cent of the guns taken
by the entire A. T. F. That is
