the operation of the Daylight Saving
law, it has been estimated. On the
farms, in mines, in packing estab-
lishments, in numerous large in
dustries, the law operates to curtail
rather than increase production,
without a corresponding benefit to the
worker.
Virtually Impossible To Ignore Day
light Law.
Opposition to the law is so great
in the rural districts that some
localities declined to set their time
pieces ahead this year and are
operating under sun time, regardless
of the law. This places them at a
great disadvantage in their dealings
with townSpeople, as they must get
to town before the morning trains
leave (by new time) and with their
milk and other products and in the
afternoons before the banks close
(also under new time).
From the thousands of letters of
protest received | have been able to
classify the objections to the law
thus:
-REASONS--
o. 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 be-
fore April /.
g. Farm children frequently 60
long distances to school, and mother
must get them ready by lamplight.
(4) During haying and harvest
it takes four hours for abe dew to
evaporate so hay or grain can be
baled or stacked, or a binder oper-
ated.
(5.) The hottest part of the day is
from u to | o'clock (old time.)
Under new time a farmer must
3end his hands and his horses to the
ield during the most intense heat.
Co. Extra labor hired during har-
vest, haying and threshing is usually
rom the towns and used to working
according to the clock Such hands
insist on quitting at 6 o'clock new
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1919-05-29

time, or 5 o'clock odd time, when
the sun is still three hours high.
o. Farmers attending prayer
meetings, neighborhood and CON-
munity gatherings and entertain
ments, must quit an hour earlier
than they would under old time,
and thus lose an hour of work time.
(8) 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.
| (9.) There is constant friction
and loss of time while exchanging
work with neighbors custom that
I is necessary during haying, harvest
and threshing. Farm hands refuse
to work by new time one day and
by "old" time the next.
(l0) Threshing is interfered with
when part Of crew works accor-
ing to new" time and part accord
ing to "old."
From Riddles to Hired Man, Law Is
Cheater.
The opposition to the law from
the farmers point of view is stated
we'll in this letter from ]. D. Nichols
a practical farmer, of David City
Neb.
Il have good many acres of al
falfa and, as every farmer knows.
you can't work in hay early in the
morning, for the dew is too heavy
1t is 10 o'clock new" time before
we can git into the field and then in
the afternoon, when the hay is fine
to work in, every hired man will
throw down his pitcfifork and quit
at s o'clock, which is only 5 by rights
And here is your wife getting
supper for IS or 20 harvest men in
the heat of the day, sweltering over
the hot stove, in order to let the hired
man have his afternoon" off, you
might say
The small children going to school
with two miles to walk must be
dragged out of bed at the time when
they most need their rest, starting
off al 7 O'Clock in the morning
which is really 6 O'Clock, and return
ing again at 3, in the heat Of the day
with the sun boiling down on their
heads
The daylight saving law so-called
is detriment even to the hired man
who gets his afternoons off, as
this farmer puts it, for with a long
evening ahead Of him. he hops in a
buggy or a motor car goes off to
town to the pool hall or movie
theater and blows in" his wages as
fast as he earns them.
Artificial regulation of time has
worked as disastrously in Canada as
in the United States, but Canada
remedied the defect this year by|
repeating its law by vote of los to
81, in its House of Commons.
1t is up to the United States Con
gress to do the same and relieve in
dustry of this unfair burden at the
earliest possible moment.

MAYOR AGAINST
PASTEURIzATION
MONOPOLY HERE

Il am for pure milk, and I think
Lieut.. Tiedeman is right in theory, but
1 also think he has gone at this pas
teurization problem wrong end first, {"
said Mayor ]. e Sheppard today in
discussing the proposal of Lieut.. w.
D. Tiedeman, as outlined in The
Times Recorder yesterday, to create a
milk monopoly in the city for the pur-
pose Of insuring the whole supply for
the city being absolutely pure Lieut..
Tiedemen is federal agent in charge
of health matters of this kind in the
zone about Souther Field.
Il think we should go about it in a
different way" Mayor Sheppard went
on II think we should provide the
milk depot first, then by education. get
the support of the people for it. There
is NO doubt about the people buying
pasteurized milk if they know it is
safer than the other. But we have had
an unfortunate experience here, and
the people will have to be shown this
time that the product is better. 1t
would be manifestly unfair to the peo-
pie of Americas to enact a law pro-
hibiting them from buying milk from
anyone but the pasteurizing plant, at
least until after we have such a plant
and it has been shown to be operating
under absolutely sanitary conditions.
"The experience of my own family
is in point. Some time ago we were
buying pasteurized milk. Now and
then the milk would be sour when it
was delivered. We could kick. but
that wouldn't make the milk sweet. If
we had been prohibited by law from
buying elsewhere we would have been
in a predicament in feeding the baby
in our home.
II told Lieut.. Tiedeman that I
thought we should FIRST get properly
conducted pasteurizing plant started,
and not try to force people to buy
from it, but let it's own good service
and product attract trade. I think
possibly we can interest some practi-
cal milk man in such a proposition. II
so, I am sure the problem will be
solved"
Lieut.. Tiedeman has on hand liter
allure showing the safety in properly
pasteurized milk, which he is distrib-
uting to interested persons. He is
very DESTROYS of having the milk sup
ply of Americas properly safeguarded
before warm weather. when the dan
ger is greater than during the winter
months.

Liahtest Known Wood.

A consular report from Port Limon,
Costa RIGA, gives interesting details
concerning the trade of that region
in balsa or corkwood (OchrOma), said
to be the lightest of all known woods,
1t has long been used in tropical
America for making canoes and spe-
cial type of raft, also known as balsa.
It is very porous and q good insulator
against heat and cold, and the report
above mentioned states that it would
be valuable for airplane construction.
The young trees are soft and very SEN
sitive to injury from vines. The trees
are dioecious, the male tree being
known as burillo and the female as
balsa real. The shipment of balsa
wood has apparently not assumed
large proportions, owing to the diff

MIR. RYLANDER
HOME SAFELY.
WILL RECOVER

Arthur Rylander, who was stricken
with paralysis Monday at his fishing
and hunting lodge thirty miles south
OF Tallahassee, Fla, and who was
brought home last night by train, was
reported today much improved. He
stood the railroad trip well, and APP
peared greatly relieved to know that
he was again at home.
DR.. W. s. Prather, who made the
trip back with him, and who is at,
tending him, was quoted today as say
ing that he expected Mr.. Rylander to
recover and be around and able to at
tend to business within a few months.
Recovery in cases of this kind, it was
explained, are always slow.
The trip home with Mr.. Rylander
was made especially pleasant under
the circumstances by the kindness Of
Conductor Woods. of the train run
ming between Tallahassee and Cuth-
bert, an old friend of Mr.. RyIander.
He turned the smoking car of the train
over to the party, and had the car
carefully cleaned and most of the
seats removed, giving plenty of room
for the cot on which mr.. Rylander
was carried and for caring for him
properly.
Mr.. Rylander was today reported
resting well. He was able to speak a
few words intelligibly. A large num-
Der of friends called at the Rylander
home to inquire about him in person
or to express their regret at his af-
Fiction, and there was general salts
faction today at the news that he was
showing improvement.
The members of the party which was
on the outing with Mr.. Rylander when
he was stricken also returned home
last night.

NO NEED TO WORRY
Despite Croakers, Human Race

Facts Brought Out by the War Show
That Men Today Are as Strong

Ever in History.

press, and it appears that the facts

made, observes the Montreal Gazette
Records of the quartermaster's office
show that the Americans who are

former wars. The size most in demand
Tor the standard army shoe in the past
was re, while the average size Of the
marching shoe today is 81 D, and that
or the field or trench shoe 9E. Two
styles are issued, for it has been found
by experiment that soldiers require a
larger shoe for the trenches, it being
necessary to wear two pairs of socks
at a time in cold and wet weather
Similarly, the present-day American
soldier has to be provided with a size
larger than his predecessor, in coats.
shirts and breeches. He is a bigger
man all round, which is decidedly SAT-
1sfactory from the national point of
view.
Events in other belligerent lands
since the war began have served TO
prove that men generally are as strong
physically and morally as ever they
were in history. The long campaign
In the trenches in Europe has put the

wars. They have stood that test, and
the hundreds of thousands who survive

of manhood.
1t is not necessary to look to the
United States or over to Europe to
see that the human race has not de-
Perforated. Canada is a small nation

$4,000 men have measured up to the
severe medical test of the army and
some tens of thousands of others
have been examined and rejected for
minor defects that do not interfere
with their life as civilians and do not
threaten to shorten their days appre-
ciably. The men who were taken to
the field of war have lived in the open,
through the heat of summer and the
cold and snow and wet of winter, and
the thunder Of the guns has been con.
stantly in their ears.
The stress of the deadliest warfare
has not broken their spirit and they
stand ready today to face attack from
powerful enemy and to deliver it in
return. In view of these facts, the
little bodies of gloomy and narrow
minded persons who meet periodically

Red Cross News.

Ned Cross News.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt through
the medium of the American Red
Cross arranged In the last days of
his life to give substantial expression
OF his gratitude to the people of the
little village in France near where
his son, Quentin, is buried. One of
his last acts was a request to the Red
Cross to donate the $500 share of the
Nobel Peace Prize money received
from him, to the French village whose
residents have kept Quentin's grave
decorated with flowers and sent many
tender communications to the family.
When the Red Cross suggested to
colonel Roosevelt that he designate
the way in which his contribution
should be expended he Immediately
requested that it be disposed Of in this
way. Colonel Roosevelt left the de-
clslon of the exact form his gift
should take to the Red Cross. The
wishes of the villagers in this respect
are now being consulted by officials
OF the Red Cross commission for
France.
