The Farm and The Farmer
BY WILLIAM r. sANaoRN

J. EDWIN CHARLES-I am not in
favor of the country daylight saving
plan, as it would be a hindrance to
the farmer who must attend to his
feeding after his days work, and then
60 to the bank and stores in town,
which would be closed.
ELI CATES-I am sure against
changing the time. say let it alone,
as it always has been. Now it comes
nearer suiting everybody so let us
have the good old time.
J. B. FAUCETT, l do not favor this
plan, as I can not see any advantage
whatever, especially to the farmer.
mence earlier. l can't see that any
thing is to be gained to close the days
work an hour earlier.
V. r. BROknHUS-Give us prices
for our products so that we can COM
pete with manufacturers for labor, and
I don't care darn what they do with
the daylight saving plan.
JOHN N. Boyd am not in favor
of the daylight saving plan. We lose
one hour each day, and you can not
get hired man to get out that early
in the morning, and yet they want
to quit at g.
F. A. HILL-Farmers work from
daylight to dark, so there is no sense
in changing the time. Let the workers
in town begin and quit work an hour
earlier, but let the clocks alone. The
sun is ruler of time. not Wilson.
RICHARD CONWAY am not in
favor of the daylight saving plan. 1t
is too great an Inconvenience to the
farmers. Let the shopmen get up an
hour earlier and let the sun alone.
L. T. HIATT-It may be very con-
venient for city labor to work by the
daylight saving plan, but it is far from
being beneficial to the farmers, for his
time as from sunrise to sunset. From
June l to Dec. 1 is a very busy time
with us farmers and the farm hand of
today wants his time the same as the
city hand, 8 hours a day, which handi-
caps us at harvest time, two to three
hours a day. / would suggest that

MARION, Ind, Feb. 16.-One of the
most disastrous fires in the history of
Marion's business district. occurred
Sunday morning shortly after o'clock
when the Marion Block, a four-story
business structure on the west side of
the square, was found to be on fire.
The fire department made a game
fight against heavy odds, and sue
ceeded In preventing further spread
of the flames, but the Marion Block
and the First National bank building
adjoining on the north were virtually
destroyed. entailing a loss of more
than 100000.
The First National bank, and the
Woolworth and 10 cents store, occu-
pied the ground floors. The other
stories were occupied by offices and
Namily homes. Nothing was saved

rescued by the firemen by means of
ladders. More than 20 family were
removed to places of safety, among
the number being three sick persons.

Interchurch Stewardship
Campaign Closes Feb. %

An unique and fitting nationwide
church observance of Washington'S
birthday will be held this year in con-

Movement. Feb. % falls on Sunday

terchurch four weeks educational
campaign in "stewardship"-tha is,
the doctrine that God is the owner Of
all things and that the man who pos
sesses anything is but steward &C.
countable to God for that possession.
Representatives of various churches
at a conference held in New York,
designated Feb. % as Nationwide
Stewardship Acknowledgements Day"
On the birthday of the father of his
country, the man who placed his life
and his personal fortunes at the dis
posal of his country, the churches will
emphasize in sermons the obligations
OF their communicates to render an
accounting to God Of their possession
to help forward by financial contri-
buttons the great evangelistic, educa-
ttonal, hospital and social service pro-
gram of the Interchurch World Move
ment, for which more than $1,000, 000,-
900 will be needed.
in this connection the interchurch
movement directs attention anew to
the fact that the federal government
exempts from income taxation up to
IS percent of income contributed to
religious and philanthropic causes. 1t

be content merely to contribute a
