There were some people who got the
tdea last year that the law was Ell

not the case. The law as passed by
Congress in the spring of 1918 pro-
yided that Daylight Saving be In erect

"That at 2 o'clock ante-meridian or

in other countries with smaller popu-

country to adopt Daylight Saving. the

BEN FRANKLIN AND DAYLIGHT

Manysidedo old Ben Franklin the father of thrift" whosen amt and whose picture
is being used this in connecionw with the Thrift Stamp campaign, was an inventor
philosopher Statesman author founder of many institutions and the originator OF new
IDEAS Among them vas Daylight Saving, although this mot put into practice until
1874 Years after it was advocated by Franklin. Here is what he said in one of his writings
aboutit
"Tn a walk through the Strand and Fleet sreao me morning at o'clock, I observed
that there wsn do one shop "opens although it had been daylight and the sun up above

Benefit To All
What Is the greatest benefit that
comes from daylight saving7 1t might
look on the face of 1t as X that
would be a hard question TO answer,
And yet it Is believed that there is but
one answer which can be given. There
Is no one class OF people In the u
try that outnumbers the home food
producers, those who have little gar
dens in the back yard OF their home
or on some nearby vacant lot which
they are ~cultivating. There are mil
lions OF such throughout tho United
States and no greater boon could be
given to them than an extra hour OF
daylight in the afternoon. the best
time for them to put in on caring
for their plants and vegetables. The
congressional committees recognized
this important fact when they recon-
mended the passage of the law; and
in their report used these words: I'm
view OF The increased food production
which will be brought about under the
bill, the comfort and convenience
which It will bring to laborers and the
public generally. and the saving Of ex-
penses. especially relating to light and
fuel. 81 is believed by our committee
that the measure should be enacted"
They placed food production" first In
the list OF benefits which would ensus;
and their confidence in this direction
was borne put by the facts. for accord
ing TO the National Wal Garden Com
mission there was a gain of fully rs
per cent. In the amount OF food
grown in the war gardens OF the ma
ton as a result OF the law: and taking
into account the fact hat there were
more than 5000. 900 war gardens. the
total addition to food supplies was
enormous.

WOMEN CARPENTERS

CHICAGO, Feb. S.--Carpenters
can reconcile themselves to having
carpentry taught by women in the
manual training schools of this city.
The situation is laughable to these
unionists, who suggest that practi-
cal men be put on the job. Many
members of this union are qualify
ing themselves for these positions
and some of them have already
passed an examination on the phases
that are necessary for teaching.
The men show that if this train
ing is to be a mere fad, then practi-
cal experience, of course, is UNI
necessary, but if it is the intention
to develop skilled craftsmen, teach
ers should be in possession of this
experience.

chinery by which civilization lives
and operates is verging on a state
of collapse That machinery has
got TO be rebuilt That job is go
ing to keep us busy for the next
five years, and possibly for the next
ten years. Let us not fool ourselves
about that. The machinery of the
world-the mechanics of civiliza-
tion-must be perfect before we can
have paradise on earth.
All manner or strange and Won
drous philosophers are being preach
ed today. Marvellous promises are
being made. Men go among us add
ing one and one to make four en-
tirely ignoring the fact that it re-
quires two and two to make four.
We are promised that we shall leap
over a hundred years of evolution
into a state of society built by fiat.
Look out for such extravaganza.
We shall have to work out our
salvation We cannot talk 1t out.
The men and women of labor the
world over are determined that
there shall be better distribution
of the fruits Of labor, and that we
must see to, But he who comes
calling for a decrease in the crea-
ton of those fruits bears false with
ness to false and malicious gos-
pei.
All of us are in debt. We owe for
the fight we have made. We have
used up our railroads, our houses.
our coal, our food, our clothing. our
iron and steel. We have hurled all
of these things into the furnace
that we might force safety for our
lives in the heat of it. We have Sc
cured our liberty. Let us not spoil
the thing that We have won.
Neither we in America nor YOU
in Britain can pay our debts by re-
fusing to create the stuff with
which debts are paid. Debts are
paid with gold or products. In no
other coin can we pay.
This is a fundamental fact that
is overlooked by a great many who
are talking about the problems Just
ahead
We want no burden of exploita-
ton placed upon our shoulders as
we go on building the new struc-
ture. We want fair opportunity to
make the most of our liberties. but
we want TO make the most of them
not TO spoil them.

A Loyal Legion employment Of
flee mas been established in Spo-
kane under the management of
Capt, Birkholtz, who has been
formally head of the Spruce Divi-
sion and Loyal Legion in the In
land Empire pine district.
Section 2, Article VI, provides
that employers may withdraw from
membership at any time on thirty
days written notice; but a work
man who wishes to withdraw must
quit the industry.
Study this proposition carefully
and you will find that there is
nothing which the Board of Di-
rectors cannot do; and that there is
nothing which the workmen may
do, except pay the bills and work.
Are you in on such a monopoly?
REMEMBER, they have given you
the best this time, simply to get
all to join. You will have to look
out for the next session of the
Board of Directors. 1t seems that
many of the Spruce Production mil
itary staff officers are to be kept
as organizers and field officers rep
resenting the men. Do you think
this will be satisfactory? Judging
from the way they favored the en-
ployers during the last year, how
much say did they allow you to
have at any time? The Interna-
tional Union of Timberworkers,
which is affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, has been
successful in suppressing many of
their Prussian tactics during the
past year, which has resulted in
much benefit to the workmen, and
now that organization offers to all
workmen employed in the timber
industry an opportunity for COM
plete democratic participation in
its affairs, working conditions and
wages. 1t is q nationwide organ
ization and is in a position to es-
tablish the eight-hour day in all
timber districts of this continent.
The Timberworkers' Union appeals
to you to join it and help its move
ment.
And, whatever you do, contribute
no support to the Loyal Legion, an
organization which will eventually
attempt to force low wages and
long hours back into the country.

the most effective manner possible.
Today all effort is bent toward max
ing the best possible kind of peace.
This peace-making is unique in
the history of world peace-making,
because it is in the mind of the
great masses all over the civilized
world that this must be a people s
peace and not a peace for spoils.
We must, however, be careful to
avoid self-deception as to what con-
stitutes a peoples peace. 1t ought
to be we'll understood that it is pos
sible to have a peace structure that
will look idealistic and beautiful,
and that will yet be a structure
built upon the sand of false logic.
There are those who believe that
it is possible 10 march straight out
of this war into an earthly para
disc. 1t is possible to walk ont of
war into a condition of world Sc
curity. but so far as the paradise is
concerned we shall have to build
that by slow and careful effort be
fore we can walk into it. Paradises
are not built by presto change,
methods. No wand waving or for
mua framing will produce para
disc.
If we can emerge into condi-
ton of final peace now that will
mean freedom of opportunity and
safety against iperialist aggression,
that, it seems to me, is about as far
as it Will be possible TO go. Every
one is aware, of course, of the great
range OF proposals being made for
the salvation of mankind. 1t is easy
to promise that many are led TO
make promises that can never be
fulfilled. Some are so beguiled by
the pleasing resonance of their own
voices that they become possessed
of the idea that resonance will save
the world, especially when they
find that they have come upon an
easy road to fortune for themselves
But let us not deceive ourselves
There is hard work ahead for civil
zation All sensible men and wo-
men will wish to be at this work
They will wish to be at it under
just conditions, but they will wish
to be at it with a will and with all
