rangements have been made with the
state leader for another leader to 90
to the Lake Champlain camp and
Miss Darling is to continue her work
here without interruption. Tbs is a
source OF great satisfaction to all m
terested in the work. Girl life in
St. Johnshuly under Mss Dazzling is

bilities All ages are interested and

THE DAYS WORK

The scarcity of dwellings, all over
the country is leading to high rent
and high cost of real estate. This be-
comes one of the biggest items in the
cost of living. If sut:iciency of
dwellings could be provided, prices Of
rents and of owning a home won
come down.
Yet in spite of this deplorable con-
Giticn, the carpenters and very Likely
others of the building trades are
working in some localities only five
days week. These short hours OF
work aggravate the high price stu
aticn, and make it difficult or impo>-
sible to build homes at reasonable
costs,
The country can not get back 10
normal conditions until it can secure
a normal production. Heretofore it
has taken a 10 hour day to provide
the recessaries of life. Now the
eight hour day is rather general, with
Saturday afternoon off in many
cases.
1t was perhaps inevitable that
when this reduction in hours of labor
began, production should show l
sharp decline. Hence there resulted
Il scarcity of all commodities, which
was inevitably followed, under the
law of supply and -demand, by ve,y
high prices. The workingman has
obtained easier hours, but he is pay
ing high price for them in the ire
mendous addition to his living costs.
The shorter work day is so beneS-
cial TO the worker, that it ought not
to be necessary to return to the ten
hour system. 1t should be possible
TO produce an adequate output on an
eight hour basis. But it will be i'm
possible to do it, unless everyone
works hard, and cooperates to his ut
most with the effort to stimulate POO
duction. And a five day week, until
the people learn how to do as much
in FIVE days as they used to do in six,
would be followed by still more pro-
nounced failure of production, and
further advance in prices.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor Caledonia1:

To the Editor Caledoniar:
!. | have read with much interest
the letter of Alfred Poole Grint on
Daylight Saving. | think he is alb
solutely correct in his statements in
regard to the prospective food situa-
ton. l surely agree with him as 20
the seriousness of the case. Reports
from all over the country indicate
small acreage of crops to be cultivat-
ed this year on account of the help
question and other causes, beg
leave to differ with him as to the re-
medy
The great call for Daylight Saving
in the industrial centers is not on ac-
count of a desire to cultivate gardens
it is call for more recreation.
This Daylight Dissertation put the
producers of food the farmers out of
business at four o'clock each day
This one cause has a tendency 10
reduce production at least 25 per
cent. 1t is absolutely impossible to
keep help in the field after the gong
blows.
| think brother Grint and others
advocating daylight wasting are kill
ing the goose that lays the golden
egg.
The remedy is worse than the dis
ease. The little war gardens are
all right and are help to very few
who cultivate them. Many acres of
good land right near st. Johnsbury
will be left uncultivated this year be-
cause there is no time or help to do
the work.
The main production of food falls
on the farmer. We must have more
help. We must have help after four

PRESS COMMENT
Should Send Unpledged Delegation
st. Adams Messenger

st. Adams Messenger
1t is evident to the Messenger that
there is no warrant judging from
the primary, for the sending of a
pledged delegation to The Republican
natona! convention. There was no
decided movement one way or the
other. The very fact that over 80
out Of every 100 voters in the state
remained away from the polling
places is proof conclusive that it
would be an act of presumption to
send delegation pledged to any cam
didate and to do it in the name of the
people of Vermont. The most that
can be justified on the primaries is to
send men who can cheerfully vote
for General Wood so long rs that
leader is factor in the Chicago bal
loting.
