Nebraska City, Neb., May Ito
the Editor of The Bee: / see all
kinds Of articles in your letter box
of different things people have a
crouch about: dogs. daylight saving
system and other things too numer-
Gus to mention, but have yet to see
one on the worst nuisance Of all,
namely the moving picture nuisance.
and by this I mean people who go
to a movie and think they are called
on to read everything that appears
on the screen, to the annoyance Of
every one around them, who pay
their money to see the shows and
expect to be able to do so without
being bored to death.
I can't understand why people will
do this. Is it because they think
those around them can't read what
Is on the screen or merely that they
wish to show that they can and have
no regard for the rights of others?

About Daylight Saving.

Harrisburg, Neb., May Ito the
| Editor of The Bee: In regard to
| the daylight saving law, l wish you
| would permit me to say that the
| wisest man. the greatest philosopher,
| the most absolutely level headed and
| farseeing man that this country has
ever produced advocated daylight
| saving law like the one we now have
| I would sooner be in his company
than in that of the Illinois legisla-
| ture. That man was BENJAMIN
Franklin. Washington leaned heavi-
ly on his mighty arm and trusted
implicitly in his tremendous Genius
for bringing things to pass. Franklin
| knew more in minute than all the
members of the Illinois legislature
put together ever will know.
1 have talked with several men
who were very sore about being
bossed about as to when they should
get up. They said they believed in
Gods time, that is in letting the sun
| regulate the daylight. I almost
f1oored one of them by telling him
that except on one meridian we had
not had Gods time in Nebraska
| since the railroads crossed the state.
about SO years ago. This man was
| living a few miles east of the meri-
dian that bounds the territory con-
trolled by mountain time. His time
had been nearly 80 minutes off of
sun time ever since he had been in
Nebraska. He was daylight saving
and didn't know it. Where ignorance
is bliss it's folly to be wise. I told
him he ought to set his time by the
almanac and then claim that he had
conscientious scruples against hav
ing his time dictated either by the
government or railroads.
In one town, several men, such as
blacksmiths, carpenters, mail-car-
riers, told me that this law was
blessing to them. They had boys in
schools big enough to do lot of
work instead of having them help
a while in the morning and then a
while after school, the two whiles
were put together and three times as
much work was done. There are
thousands of poor people in our
small towns and large cities who
deserve consideration, especially
since they must pay such high
prices for bread and meat. From
what | have read in the newspapers
and heard from individuals, it seems
to me that pigheaded politics and
selfishness has more to do with OPP
position to this law than anything
else. EDWIN WARD.

This hardly seemed possible. In
the first place what would Wood
Rat want with raw potatoes? Then
if he did like potatoes why should
he bring them into the kings palace
without first asking the kings per-
mission? After all, it seemed rather
foolish to think this little creature
was guilty Of such an act.
Tinker Bob pondered these things
in his mind and waited till twilight
and again went out to the piles Of
sticks and stones. Yet there was no
sign of life. The king therefore de-
cided that Jack the Wood Rat had
only stopped one night and had jour-
neyed on. So he again retired, still
in the dark as to who had placed the
potatoes and chestnut burs in his
chamber.
Not long after he retired he heard
again, "pat, pat, pat" on the cham
Der floor. Again he arose and lit the
candle but one one was in sight.
Still it was a mystery.

palace thinking about the pat, pat,
pat" he had heard the night before,
he saw something new and strange
in one corner of the room. There
was pile of large burs and each one
filed with chestnuts.
"How did these ever get into my
house?" said Tinker to himself.
Someone is surely very kind to me.
These have been stored away for
many days.
Near these burs were several po-
tatoes of medium size; and this was
stranger still, for none of the for
est dwellers that Tinker Bob knew
ever ate any potatoes.
"They look like some the Hunter
has in neighboring field" said
Tinker aloud, for he talked to him
self a great deal when no one was
about. But how they ever arrived
in his palace was a greet mystery.
