DAYLIGHT SAVING FOR 1919

The approach of the time when. il at all. the clocks
will be set forward an hour in continuance of the day
light saving plan inaugurated in the United States last
spring has set many tongues a-wagging with reference to
the desirability or undesira bility of the plan. Generally
the plan seems to have met with favor in the cities and
villages, while on the farms there is a little sentiment In
favor of it. considerable in fiat opposition. and a great
deal Of indifference. M
That the change OF time was OF advantage to city
people seems scarcely to admit Of doubt. even If we do
not concede. as has been extrapagantely Suggested, that
practically all the gardening done in the country was the
direct result Of tinkering with the clock last April. Per-
haps some Of the enthusiasts need to be reminded that
a good many people have done their bit of gardening,
some Of them as a regular business, and some as a side
line, before either the war or daylight saving were
heard of. Nevertheless. the urban resident whose hours
of regular labor were regulated by the clock generally
found it to his advantage to have his overtime punched
at the close of the day rather than divided into morning
and evening periods as before. And he enjoyed that adj
vantage whether he chose to use the time in gardening.
in golhng or in automobiling.
The same advantage is not enjoyed on the farm be-
cause. as the farm paper puts it, the labor of the farmer
is regulated by the run. and not by the clock. Some
haying and harvesting operations. and, in great market
garden and fruit sections, some Of the work in the gar
dens and orchards. must be postponed until the dew has
disappeared in the morning, and in these cases it Is a
matter of indifference what hour the clock records. In
such cases to arise an hour earlier in the morning would
be merely to wait an hour longer before the main work
of the day can begin. Some Of the DIRECTORS tell OF
trouble with hired help, the desire being to quit when the
city whistles blow, regardless of the time Of going to
work.
A feature of the case which probably did not occur
to the advocates of the change in the first place is the
effect Of the new plan on the work Of the dairy farmer
who sends milk to the large cities. Under the new plan
the milk trains must leave the country stations at the
same hour by the clock in order to keep pace with the
speeding up in the city where the customers live, and
in order to keep up with the new schedule the farmer
must do his milking an hour earlier both morning and
evening, and some witnesses say that there is difficulty
in persuading the cows to meet their milking engage
ments at what is to them the middle of the night at one
end of the day, and the middle Of the afternoon at the
other.

THE APPEAL OF THE Y. W. CA.

IL JUST o III progress a canvass Tor IundS
for the general work Of the Young Women's Christian
Association. This canvass was to have been held weeks
ago, but was postponed because of the prevalence of in
fuenza, which caused the postponement of SO many other
useful activities. The conditions have now become such
that the interrupted plans can be resumed, and our peo-
pie, in common with others. are now asked to contribute
to this work in proportion to their understanding of Its
urgency and Importance.
1t is to be understood that the money now subscribed
is for the general, and not for the local fund of the as
ISOLATION. 1t was for funds for the local work that sub
scriptions were taken early in the fall. 1t must be re-
menbered, too, that this general canvass is necessary. be-
cause the work of such a society cannot be self sustain
ing in all cases. In fact, in many localities where the
need is greatest, and where the largest expenditure must
be made, the receipts from local sources are necessarily
very small. If the work is to be carried on in such places
the necessary funds must be obtained elsewhere.
The purpose of the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation is to be Of service to young women in a manner
similar to that in which the Young Mems Association
seeks to serve young men, to improve their physical
equipment. to enlarge their intellectual outlook, and to
promote their moral development. This service is highly
important to the young woman in a strange place, with
out a home. and it ic Of almost, If not quite as great i'm
portance in its relation to the outside activities of the
young woman who lives a home with her own people.
In North Dakota. in addition to the permanent So
cieties which tho association maintains in Grand Forks,
Fargo, and one or two other cities Of the state. it carries
on an effective work at every college in North Dakota,
as 1t does in colleges throughout the land, so that in most
Of the cities to which a girl may be called to follow a
business career. and in practically every one where she
may be called to pursue her studies. she will ind the
Y. w. c. A. a present and beneficial influence. Those
who contribute to this cause are. therefore. contributing
toward the well-being Of their own daughters or Of the
daughters Of their friends.
t In Grand Forks the canvass Of the husinAss district
is already under way. The canvass Of the residence see.
ton will be made tomorrow. and a committee for this
purpose has been named. Of size ~sunhcient to insure the
completion Of the canvass in two or three hours. It IL
|conhdently expected that the people Of Grand Forks, who
have been prompt to recognize. and eager to support SO
many and 50 varied causes Of worth In these past months
will be equally ready TO aid in the promotion Of this
work, which can be made to- mean so much In the HIVES
of the young womanhood Of America,

ORIGIN OF THE AIREDALE.

Inc AlredaIe Is a peculiar dog, ana
his origin is not easy to trace. In
all probability he is the result of
crosses between the old rough Scotch
terrier, the ull-terrier, and the ct
'terhound. Certain characteristics Of
the latter breed are very prominent
in the Airedale Of today. About
forty years ago the GOLFERS of the
Valley Of Aire enjoyed almost a
monopoly of these dogs. which were
highly priced for their fighting quail
ties, general ruggedness, keen intelli-
gence and loyalty to their owners
The Golfers, were a rough, hardy set,
ready for Anything, and their ~fayorite
dogs were bright disciples Of the
school of hard knocks.
Those accustomed to associate the
name terrier with a small dog are apt
to be somewhat puzzled by the ap-
pearance Of this latest addition to the
watchdogs, aid he is large enough to
command the respect Of unsavory in
truders: NAs a vermin destroyer he
has no superior, such large quarry as
woodchucks and coons falling COM
p%aratively. easy victims to his DASH
ing method Of attack-New York

dulged in when the news came that
the war of 1912 was over.
1t was at Client, on Christmas eve,
1914, that the British and American
commissioners met for the last time
to sign the treaty. That same night,

appeared in the windows OF .

the joyfulcry, IA peace! A peace!"
Early on Sunday morning expresses

government stocks rose 10 per cent at
New York and Philadelphia, while the
premium on specie and exchange on
Boston fell off Is per cent. The mayor
OF Philadelphia called. for a general
illumination. but the Aurora newspa-
per refused to believe the news. It
reminded the public hat this was not
the first time peace reports had come
and it asked whether any one had
forgotten the effect Of the hoax"
Remembering the erroneous report
that Germany had accepted the Allies

that although the real news Of the
end of the war Of 1872 did not reach

Spencer was reported to have entered
the Delaware on the last day of De-
cember, 1914, and to have run up 81

liminary articles Of peace had been
signed at Client. Another report was
brought to Boston by a sea captain
who. had visited the British blockad-
ing squadron on Lond Island Sound
and had returned with word that a
vessel from Halifax had reported the
arrival of a fast ship from England
with news that peace was hourly ex-
brought a third version and stories
had also come from Castine and from

When a rider reached Boston, on
the Monday after the messenger from
Client had arrived at New York. a
rush was made for the churches and
every bell was set ringing. the schools
were dismissed, h flags were run up
on long-deserted ships, and the streets
