Fair Deal en- Daylight.
(Keene Sentinell

1t was fairly easy to save daylight >
by obtaining the necessary legislation
for that purpose Now it is proving
rather difficult to keep it saved. The
chief DIRECTORS to the new summer time
plan are farmers. There are factory
workers in the cities who favor a re-
turn TO the old system, because they
do not want TO GO to bed so early and
get up so early in the morning; but in
general, the criticism comes from rural
districts and seems to be based on the
idea that all the daylight saving ac-
crnes to the benefit of the hired man.
Perhaps the farmers are right on this
point, though it would be well to have
the hired mans view of it. and to be
assured that there is no way out of the

1t is good news that the Valley fair
has pulled through its worst financial
difficulties. and will hold the usual ex-
hibition this fall. For many years it
has set the standard for agricultural
fairs, and thousands of people have en-
joyed a day at the fair grounds on the
Brattleboro uplands, with the low wood,
ed hills cutting scallops in the blue of
the horizon That the old Civil war
camp ground should today be the camp
for a display in peace of products that
win all wars, is true poetic justice.
