A BLESSED OVERSIGHT

CONGRESS, when it rollicked and
- blundered to an undignitied adjourn
ment, had much to answer for. 1t left
the country's finances in confusion and
didn't even appropriate money to clean
the streets of Washington. But it forgot
to repeal the daylightsaving law, which
becomes effective next Monday morning
at 2 o'clock.
Farmers and their spokesmen in the
House and Senate wanted to have the
old-fashioned time schedule retained.
The working schedules of the farms, it
was argued, were fitted to the old order,
though no explanation was ever given to
show why an extra hour of daylight in
the evening is not so good as an hour
of daylight in the morning.
Indoor workers everywhere benefited
vastly last summer by the longer day.
A good deal of hard work is done in
doors. And the farmer who lives with
the fresh air and the open sky cannot,
of course, know how the desk workers
Of the world pine for an extra hour of
the light and air that are commonplace
things to him.
Whoever likes to walk after work or
play golf or drive a fivver will be glad
that the daylight law is safe. And now
1t probably will be safer STILL Congress
might actually have killed it in the rush,
because Congress is notoriously ignorant
Of what most of the people want.
Another season of longer days, how
ever, will SO fix the benefcent practice
as to make its elimination virtually i'm
possible in the future.

Germany is like the lady who sang

that she was interrupted with a Volley Of

Gigantic CataIog
of Human Emotions

THE Heart of Humanity" direct
ed by Allen Holubar and starring
Dorothy Phillips, typifying the work
of the the Red Cross in France. pre-
sents the greatest of all of Mr.. Holu-
bars productions.
More correctly might this poignant
drama be called a catalog of the hu-
man emotions, for in the'vast accomp-
lishment is expressed every big emo
tion. There is heroism, sorrow, hate.
anger, love, divine sympathy, and a
supreme sacrifice that, it is said by
critics who have seen the picture.
will bring to all who view the huge
effort a clearer understanding of
what is due our womankindr
Peaceful countrysides contrast the
turmoil of battlefelds; hate is placed
in contraposition to love; intelligence
balances Misunderstanding; and ha-
voc, wilfully wrought, is seen sue
ceeded by the service of reconstruc-
tion.
And thru all the tragedy of the
new screen-drama, which cinema ex-
perts say will live as one of the mile
stones of production, Is expressed the
sublime grace Of the "mother-heart."
In 1t is the glory of an immaculate
fire. which brings to thousands of
homeless Belgian orphane light. love
and the gleanings of beauty so in
dispensable to the happy development
of all mankind.
The title role of 1.-THE Heart of HUI
manity" is portrayed by Dorothy
Phillips. who. under Director Holu-
bar, has advanced herself far be-
yond the dreams of her admirers.
"The Heart of Humanity" will be
shown at the Princess thoater on

Frost and Freeze Hit

Frost accompanied by a real freeze
visited this section of the state on
Sunday night the past week, and on
Monday morning plant-life looked
rather sickly when the vegetation
commenced to wilt. but after 1t is all
over the damage was not heavy. Gar
den truck suffered considerably and
beans were about all killed, but with
other truck there was only some
damage. Tomatoes were killed in a
few instances and in most patches
there would be few plants bit down
while the balance of them withstood
the frost and freeze.
Damage to the Hensler gardens
was about the heaviest individual
loss. amounting to about $500.
Crops were only slightly damaged
Alfalfa looked bad for time Mon
uay- but there is little trace of the
frost's effects loft. Cantaloupes suf-
fered and the loss was about 35 per
cent on those which were up. E. e
Hosler states that the little plants
with but the two leaves were unin-
jured but that where they were larg-
er with more leaves the plant was
killed. A good share OF the acreage
was either not up or Just coming thru
the ground. and with the replanting
of the fields which were injured the
total acreage will not be reduced.
Fruit, such as apples, cherries,
plums and the like was unfnjured,
but the grapes were hard hit and
other small fruits injured to some
degree.
Geo. H. West.-Apples. cherries,
plums. peaches and other such fruit
were uninjured by the recent frost
and freeze. The grapes near the
ground were damaged as were also
some of the gooseberries and other
small fruit.
A. F. Enyart.-I have never seen
a frost and freeze in this country in
June before. l have been in this
country ever since it was wild, open
section when buffalos roamed the
planes, and May snow storms were
the worst | ever saw before.
A. ID. Buyas.-I have never seen
a frost or freeze in June here be-
fore. but one Sunday early in June,
about five years ago, it showed hard
for quite a long while until the
ground became white. There was no
damage, however.
VIM. Broadbent.-The frost and
freeze made it hard on the bees, and
while the loss was very little it set
them back on their work The al
falfa will not produce the honey that
it otherwise would have for the
blooms will not come out so prolific.
D.. C. Roberts.--When was a boy
a frost and freeze visited Ohio in
June and killed most every kind of
crop, even the wheat. This June
freeze and frost, however, has never
been seen here sine 1 have lived in
Colorado.
A. G. Bowers.-Cherries were un-
injured and there will be a good
crop of them. The fruit on the trees
was too well off the ground to be
damaged.
