Set Your Clock One Hour Ahead
When Tonight You Seek
Yorr Bed.
BY Webster.

Daylight saving begins all over the
country tomorrow morning at .
o'clock. Under the daylight saving
law the clocks of the American people
will be advanced one hour at O'clock
tomorrow morning, and will remain
one hour ahead of sun time until Octo-
!! ber o6. the last Sunday in that month.
Set clocks and watches ahead one
hour before retiring tonight. and they
will tell the right time, under the
daylight plan. tomorrow morn
ing.
IT is not necessary to sit up until 9
o clock tomorrow morning to move
the hands of the timepieces ahead.
Get up by the clock, go to church by
the clock and on Monday go to work
by the clock. You will be one hour
earlier than you have been all winter,
by the sun. The only one who will
rise an hour later under the new ar
rangement is old Sol himself.
Sunrise under the daylight saving
plan tomorrow morning will be at
6:5s O'Clock and sunset at 1923 o'clock.

The daylight saving law was passed
by Congress last year as a. ConServa-
tion measure. While the law was
hailed as a fine thing by people liv-
ing in the cities. working in business
houses and factories. the farmers of
the country, according to the reports
from their organizations. were not
pleased. An effort was made to have
the law repealed by rider on the
agriculture appropriation bill This
bill. however, failed of final passage
at the last session of Congress.
