SAVING DAYLIGHT.

Though the effort to repeal the daylight saving law by having it at- tachcd as a rider to the agricultural appropria ton bill failed. it does not mean that the determination to knock out the law has ended. Had the rider prevailed the daylight saving law would have ended a short time fol- lowing the passage. Now the effort is directed 10 securing the repeal of the law al the time when the change back to sun time will become effective un- der the law as it now stands. That means that when the daylight saving ceases this year it would mean the ending of that plan unless it is re- adopted through a subsequent bill.
 The contest seems to be between the agricultural and lighting interests of the country and the industrial in terests. Among the farmers, or those at least who serve a daily trade, it is maintained that the law works to their disadvantage. The rest of the farmers though not all of them figure that it causes them labor trouble. while of course when full advantage of day light is taken it can be appreciated that 1t means just so much reduction in the business of the lighting corpora tions.
 On the other hand the industrial plants of the country fully appreciate tho benefit of working by daylight and thereby reducing so much expense. Ii is likewise apparent that it means much to the employees of the indus trial plants who prefer daylight to ar tificial light and appreciate the ad- ditional hour of daylight that is pro- vided for recreational purposes.
 It would appear. however. that the experience of the farming interests ir other countries where the law is ef- fective might be investigated with a view to following the same course here, and allow all interests to be benefited rather than wiping out the benefits and saving effected by certain interests to please the others.

BOY SCOUTS CAMPAIGN.

The country cannot fail to be inter- ested in the drive that is being con- ducted by the Boy Scouts. In the first place it isn't for money. but it is for the purpose of promoting the welfare of Americans and whatever can be at tempted with the idea of developing a better citizenship ought to have the approval and support of the whole country.
 The Boy Scouts have demonstrated that they have an active organization that stands for the making of better citizens and it begins early. They have shown that they are capable and willing to do good deeds. There is hardly public affair of any size in a community where a troop of Boy Scouts is located but what they are called upon for assistance and will lingly and effectively respond. It is not to be overlooked that they collect ed the sizeable sum of s90o.000,00o in subscriptions for the Liberty loans.
 The Boy Scouts mean so much to the boys that the benefits of the training and discipline in the organi- Zation ought to be secured by a much greater humber than is now included in the ranks. Likewise there is need of men, as associate members, who can give them the necessary leader ship and guidance. Whatever stands for better American citizenship de- serves every possible support and the goal that has been set by the Scouts during this week ought to be reached Encourage the good work and see tha it accomplishes the full measure 0. benefit.

sition of such meat here and it was their advice that it would be better to dispose of it abroad since it was not in shape to be taken by domestic trade, being packed in too large containers or cured differently than is generally desired.
 There are of course a great many who do not want to purchase canned meat in large containers, preferring to secure it in small quantities for inn mediate needs. but this does not mean that this meat the government has on hand would or could not be disposed of right here at home to the advan- tage of the purchaser. It would seem at least as if those who have been put ting up their money for the providing of just such supplies should be given the opportunity of purchasing such goods especially if they are going to be sold at attractive prices. It would therefore seem as if it would have been much better to have consulted the people rather than the packers as to what the people want or would dc in connection with the disposal of this meat supply.

 Norwich, Connecticut. which was democratic a year ago. went republi- can this week. South Kingstown which elected four out of five demo- cratic councilmen in 1918, chose on Tuesday full epublican board. These were only local elections. but never theless, added to numberles others in all parts of the country this year, they are interesting political straws. Most of us are familiar with the fact that national tendencies may be reflected in town and city election results. It is not wise to put much stress on one or two instances, for of course there are always local issues at stake. But this year there has been, so far as can be recalled, no striking deviation from 1 the rule of republican success in these 1 local contests. It will pay to note the outcome elsewhere, from time to time : this spring and summer.-Providenc l Bulletin.

ATTEND CITY MEETING TONIGHT

There is not a taxpayer or citizen within the city limits who is not di- rectly interested in the business be- fore the adjourned annual city meet ing tonight. at which time action is to he taken upon the expenditures which it is estimated will be required to con- duct the various departments of the city government during the ensuing year.
 This is a matter which calls for the careful attention of the people Like the selection of candidates for office and the election of city officials. it calls for careful scrutiny on the part of the people In these days of high prices and high taxes to see that what is sought is needed and to see that what is needed in order to give the city a sound and businesslille ad- ministration of it's affairs is provided IL is not time for a reckless expendi- ture but it is time 10 demand that the city gets in results what is provided for through its appropria tions. The voters of Norwich in the recent election took a stand in behalf of efficiency in the city government. It was impossible To change the control of the admins traNon but it will be a sad mistake unless due consideration is given by those in control to the demands of the voters thereby voiced
 But in keeping with the election re- suit if is incumbent upon the voters of the city 10 turn out in large numbers at the city meeting and let themselves he heard in regard to the expenditures which will run close to a million dol lars during the ensuing year. The Vcting of appropriations and the lay ing of a tax is by no means work tlbt should he left to a few. Last year the tax was 15 3-4 mills includ ing a number of extras. This year l. a-4 mills is asked for the necessary expenses and if tho extras sought are voted it will mean more than an 1S- mi ill tax. .
 1t is certainly time to take san, and sensible view of our city affairs tc meet the needed requirements and tc insist upon results, and while. doing it don't neglect the city meeting.

rub1es in advance on his salary.
 Famine was reigning in Petrograd. The first category (working people of bolshevik sympathies) received one pounds of oats daily. The second cate gory received one-half pound. The citizens grind the oats in coffee mills, to make flour for bread. For Christ mas the Petrograd inhabitants re- ceived two potatoes for each person. A slice of bread is sold for 25 rubles. There was no tobacco, People smoked cabbage and nettle.
 The situation at Vologda was the same as in Petrograd. It was famine and the population stood in line for bread sometimes for two days. There was no private commerce. The shops were empty"
 On his way from Vologda toward Archargel a commissar tried to coax Evlampieff into serving in the Red army, and on his refusal sent him back to Vologda. A peasant hid him in a load of hay and carried him to his uncle's home in Torozk. In the will lages he passed through. he said, there was famine The peasants cut straw, cook 1t and make bread. Eventually after a long journey on foot through the snow Evlampieff reached his home 1 in Archangel.

 "A man simply loses control of his intellect and pocket book when he goes to buy something. His whole soul seems to revolt at being tied down to any special object. Why, he asks ln- dignantly, should l. free man with a vote, be compelled by my wife to buy six spools of thread when alf about me are oriental rugs and sets of dishes and lawn mowers.

Unsafe Roads,

Mir Editor: A warning to all peo pie who have to travel over the road from Norwich to Salem, especially that portion of the road which goes largely through the town of Mont vile.
 In these times of high taxes and taxing of vehicles of every descrip- ton it would seem but fair that the people who pay those taxes should be entitled to at least safe roads. One Of the worst reads in the state of Connecticut and one of those roads which is most largely traveled today is the section of highway going from the Bozrah line to the town of Salem by way of Gardner's Lake. This road is a disgrace to a civilized state and to have road in such a condition and open to public travel is shameful. l There should be signs at each end of | it unsafe" or Travel a your own risk so that the unsusDecting public may know what they are to go up against when they walk or drive into
 this mess of hollows and ruts.
 1 If a road goes through a town or /; through portion of a town which is l not used largely by the inhabitants of ] that particular town. it is no reason l why that road should be left unsafe to the public travel. If such a town does ! i or piece of read, then it should sur i render it 10 the state or to the town who has occasion to use it more gen. 1 erally.
 We people in Salem have no way to | get to Norwich, which is the center of
 business for the surrounding towns
 except over this piece of hurdles which unfortunately happens to be To-
 cated in the town of Montville. There i has been an attempted repair made or
 this road within the last month or two but such an attempt only makes the
 road worse. scraping old dirt and ] leaves from the gutter into the middle of the road for the horses hoofs to
 wear and beat down, and this is worse | than no improvement. The people ot
 Salem have had this condition to con- 1 tend with long enough. The people of | Norwich. and everyone else who has i occasion to go over this road, know what it is like. but still here is the
 same old mess of ruts and stones. and
 nothing done aside from throwing a few dead leaves into the middle of the
 road every year.
 If a contribution is necessary then one should be taken up, to make this
 road safe for travelling. Norwich has
 a chamber of commerce which is in terested in good roads, and interested l in bringing rural business and trad ing to it's city, from what we read in the newspapers. Let them prove that they are really interested in get ting business for Norwich by attempt ing to do something to better condi- i tions Salem ward. and let them make
 a noise which will be heard all over the state until this dangerous piece
 of highway is made safe and passa.
 ble for public travel!
