Why Some People Like Daylight Saving

Some people, for instance the farmers are against
daylight saving, because they claim they lose an hour
But there people who like it and they the people
who have country home and to the city every
day.
When man has labored hard all day The thought
Of going home (wllere there isn't any cheers him
and he works all the harder maybe can get home
& little earlier today" he says to himself He just
catches the dve-thry from Hobolen and gets his
home little after The sight Of Mother Natures
beautiful work makes his mind rest for the noise Of the
city all day makes his head ache But the quiet Of the
country makes him forget his labors The right time
As little after i've, he has hour Of daylight to go
about his place. does little work In the vegetable
garden cuts the grass and then he goes his dinner
Of fresh vegetables. All this gives the that labors
hard all day delight and rest Of mind, and he feels
stronger aud better to start his work again the
day AL from that extra hour in the evening!

HIGH FOOD PRICES
burlington Free Press)


The people of Burlington in COM
mon with those of every other COM
munity in the land arc longing for a
reduction in the high cost of. living.
We have been taught to look to
the federal authorities to afford relief
from high prices and to prevent pro-
fiteering. Indeed we have seen our
government prosecuting trusts and
other schemes to boost prices. Under
these circumstances it seems strange
that one of the departments of the
Wilson administration itself should
be doing what the government is
prosecuting individuals and corpora
lions for doing, the cornering of
necesSaries of life.
We have just seen how the govern
ment released 2O,OOO,0OO pounds of
sugar. 1t ought not to be necessary
for Congress to push the war depart
ment to the selling of its surplus
$120,000,000 worth of food products,
when the country is in so pronounced
need of food supplies of all kinds.
Manifestly the effect on the general
market is the same whether this en-
ormous quantity of food is put in cold
storage by the government or by the
packers or any other combination of
individuals.
In its report recommending passage
of the resolution the republican ma
jority of the House war investigating
committee charged Secretary Baker
with Withholding the food from the
public to benefit private interests. A
minority report submitted by the
democrats on the committee included
statement of the Secretary saying
the policy "has been and is to sell in
the best markets and as speedily AZ
possible"
Mr.. Baker also said he had beer
giving his personal attention to ode
vising ways to place the surplus food
in the hands of consumers at the
lowest possible price in order to re.
lieve, even if temporarily, the high
cost of living.

GET HIS NUMBER
A weird story comes from st.
Johnsbury:. A motorist, who consid-
cred he had not been given enough
lee way to pass car ahead of HIM
pulled alongside where the road per-
mitted and boarded the offending car,
Selling the driver by the throat and
causing him to collide with tclc-
phone pole. In the resulting smashup,
one occupant of the car was injured,
and the aggressor went his way I'M
disturbed and unarrested. All that the
witnesses remember is the name of
the brigand's car--no number.
Several reflections suggest them
selves to the pensive commentator:
1 A complaint without a number
gets nowhere.
2 There are plenty of road hogs
who deliberately hold the road when
following cars attempt to pass, or
who give so little room that it is not
safe to pass.
8 There are always two sides to
a story.
In the st. Johnsbury instance, the
conduct of the agressor eliminates
his side of the story and his disap-
pearance probably closes the incident,
but it emphasizes the fundamental ne
cessity of every such situation: Get
the number.

hundreds of thousands of dollars

river. But it is. If New Hampshire
substantinates its claim that the OK

the western boundary of that state
Vermont will lose great amount OF
valuable territory and property. Not

Why Not Here?

The passing of the Castleton and
Johnson Normal schools in 1920 will
take away from the citizens OF at
least one town a much-enJoycd
subject of criticism. The choice OF
a site for the new school to take the
place of the two discarded is still
to he decided upon. The town chosen
.hould have a school system of suffi-
cient size and quality to give the
young teachers good practice work
and should have good railroad con-
nections. Educational features such
as public libraries and museums OF
natural science are to be considered.
We believe that St. Johnsbury would
provide an ideal location for the new
school.

HOW LIGHT HEARTED!

How light hearted it makes us
feel when we realize that a commit
tee has been appointed to invcsti-
gate the question Of high prices and
to report to the President!
After some six months, this COM
mittcc will find out that scores of
millionaircs have been made in the
last year or two and, while they are
investigating, the crop of money-bur-
dcncd ones will grow luxuliantly.
Labor meantime will continue to run
up Il good score and the lovely dol
lar will shrink to point where a
kccn-sightcd individual may be able
to distinguish its familiar visagc If
pluckcd in bouquets of dozen.
We note with keen interest and
admiration the self-control of Il
leather manufacturing company
which made only 81 per cent greater
net earnings for the second quarter OF
1919 than for the corresponding per-
iod of 1918. This deserves unstintcd
praise.
With an eye to the future, we
sauntcred into shoe dispcnsary re-
Gently and purchased two shocs-a
nice brown winter pair-to avoid the
next increase of 25 to IS per cent
which we confidently expect. These
two shoes we carried gaily home and
placed on the parlor table carefully
covered to prevent the dlstegrat-
ing action of the atmospherc-aftcr
we had assured the gentleman Of the
dispcnsary that We were good for the
price $1,000, which is, roughly, $500
per one.
People generally with blind faith
in the powers that be and much love
for whichever side they voted for at
the last election look to Washington
for an casing up Of the high prices.
Thus on the Democratic party and
on the Republican party devolves a
wcighty problem. And each one has
our best wishes because we arc not
at all particular who does the job as
long as it is done.
Republican party choose "swclP'
But didn't the Republican party
choose Il "swell time to Dust the
Democrats?
And isn't it sort of a.ghastly joke
to see the two groups of the capital
sparring back and forth to maintain
party organization and the backing OF
the votcrs-"onc's afraid and the 9TH
er dasscnt"-whilc we play the heavy
part of the worm under the end OF
the boys stick and writhe and, unlike
the worm, cuss fuently!

REGULATING PRICES DOWN
WARD
New York Time3)

l.
The idea that the guarantee OF the
price of wheat in some manner raises
the cost of living is strange. 1t Is
not usual for Governments to rcgu-
late prices upward. The GOODNESS to-
ward the request of the South that
the price of cotton should be raised
bv Government action offended the
South, and yet cotton now IS higher
than the Government would have ven
tured to peg it on. When hogs were
released from Government pricefixing
prices sprang upward. The prices of
shoes are high, and expected to go
higher because the Government no
longer controls the price of leather.
Coal is being sold at a premium by
indcpendcnt sellers, above the stand
ards set when the Government relax
ed it's control and left the market to
the "trusts." Bread has not altered
in price since March, and is under
Government control, and yet is is
asked that control of wheat should be
relaxed in order that consumers OF
bread should have the advantage of a
free market. Who could or would
guarantee cheaper bread or take the
risk of dcarcr bread?
According to statement just is
sued by one of the big leather manu-
Featuring concerns, the. net earnings
of the company for the second
quarter of 1919 were 81 per cent
greater than the net earnings for the
! corresponding quarter of 1918. And
! yet many persons wonder why the
prices of shoes are steadily advanc
ing.
