EDITORS Letter Box
A Farmers Experience with Day
Eight Saving.

! To the Editor of Kennebec journal:
have read with interest several
letters in thd Letter Box recently on
the so-called daylight saving" rul-
; ing. I do not call it a law, for how
can we have two laws directly op-
posed? Hav1 noticed also the ur.-
versal condemnation in the Journal
and other papers of those who. for
+, their own selfish ends, are creating
or deepening class prejudice Surely
nothing can be more certain to foster
class consciousness and unity among
! farmers than this daylight @aving
| fallacy.
, If the farmer is to be Ishmael, the
result can't help but be lessened pro-
duction, food scarcity and higher
! prices.
| l have not heard the most ardent
advocates Of daylight saving claim
| any economic benefit for it but SIM
ply that it affords more time for FISH
ing. golfiing, autoing, for playing
| round. The old adage no doubt is
! true though we see few horrible ex-
amples nowadays) that "all wor *
| and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
but the reverse. all play and no work
| is equally disastrous.
Daylight saving may contribute TO
the gaity Of nations but it never will
help fill the food bin.
With the present short hours of
labor any man who wants a garden
can easily have it and will, on stand
ard time.
There is another old saying to the
effect that it is dangerous to play
| with edged tools. Anything that les
sens production, especially the pro-
duction Of food, is tool with which
1t is not wise to NEEDLE
The idea that forcing daylight saw.
ing on the country will not lessen
food production is a mistaken one.
Your own statement in the Journal
Of April 30th that food prices were
700 per cent higher in March las.
than during the war should help to
show it. I have hired two men for
the summer and shall probably take
on two more this week, planning to
raise a large crop of sweet corn,
beans and potatoes this year but if
my men insist on setting the clocks
ahead an hour must let them go
and seed my ground, for I have
learned the last two years, and many
farmers with me. that farming by
the daylight saving plan instead Of
standard time means the difference
between possible profit and a GER
tain loss.
These war gardens! Even If 50 men
in Augstua should each raise ten
bushels of potatoes additional which
I think is a very liberal estimate,
personally I do not believe there
would be one bushel raised that
would not be anyway, but granting
there would, how would that affec.
the food supply Of the country If 1t
prevents the raising of 5000 bushels
on one farm and that result is multi
piled wholly or in part on hundreds
Of others in the vicinity Of Augusta
and on thousands and tens Of thou
sands all over the country? That
method will be long time bringing
back to so cent potatoes.

when I began taking Tanlac

but now, just think Of it, ! am en-
joying as good health as I ever did

statement made recently by Mrs.
Melvina Wyatt of ITO Washington

stuffed-up feeling most of the time.
Noises l had always been used to
would nearly frighten me out Of my
wits. At night l would roll and toss
for hours after going to bed. hardly
able to get any sleep at all. I be-
came so weak and run down l had
to give up my house work. and finally
l suffered complete nervous break
down and was unable to even stand
up and had 10 take to my bed,
That wasl the dreadful condition
was in when I started taking Tan
lac. and I'll declare, I have never in
all my life seen anybody improve SO
rapidly as I have. Right away my
appetite got, better, the Indigestion
started leaving me and I began to
gain in weight and strength. In a
few days I was up and soon was able
to do my house work. I continued
to improve ntil now am once more
enjoying splendid health. My appe-
title is so fine that I am hungry ali
the time and everything l eat agrees
with me perfectly. My nerves are
calm and steady and I sleep like a
child every night. Tanlac has built
me up in every way and has given me
health. strength and happiness"

Foeh Is a Man to Be Trusted,

What is the truth about the mem

Nobody can say. perhaps nobody

about it which command the scrutinv
Of the world. They are divergent
yet they are emphatic, which makes
examination of them all the more i'm

Last Friday the British premier
said: Germany is paralyzed, disor-
ganized, disjointed, incapable OF
working as a unit. AS for being
capable Of a military coup d'etat
