AMERICAN LEGION ENTER.
-. TANNED.

- kAtEN
I In response to invitations from the
Fomen's Relief Corps of this city, the
local Post Of the American Legion
met At the. Masonic hall in full force,
there to be banqueted by their untir-
ing benefactors.
It would be hard to state whether
the boys or the ladies were the great
er pleased over the occasion, but the
common spirit Of patriotism made one
and all equally glad Of the opportuni-
ty to spend 2 social evening together,
and with whatever spirit Of thankful
nsss tie boys received the honors done
them, in like amount Of gratefulness
It was given by these loyal women,
who were only too glad Of this their
first opportunity to express in part
their gratitude to the boys who so no.
bly, did their duty.
The tables were very prettily dee
GRATED with small flags and the walls
Of the hall were hung with the large
service flag of the W. r. c., which
showed two gold stars and red cross,
indicating that one of their number
had served as a Red Cross nurse and
two had given their lives. The old
soldiers Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic were honorary guests. Mrs.
Bessey Manchester. Department Corps
Inspector. assisted the ladies at the
banquet.
After the banquet they repaired to
the Christian church. where an open
program, was given and the boys were
further honored by the ladies in be.
ing presented by them with beauti-
full standard Of the colors under which
they fought, a treasure long to be
cherished and honored by their Lee
gion: The flag was presented by Mrs
j. B. Barrett, who had message Of
true worth straight from the hearts
Of the ladies who worked from the
start for. the comforts and good Of
the boys while in the service.
In. few well chosen words Frank
Burke in behalf of the Legion accept
ed the flag and it was carried to the
ranks Of the Legion whose numbe,

THAT ENDLESS "REVOLUTlON."
Everywhere we hear talk Of. the
coming revolution" though there
was ever time in the history Of hu-
manity when a revolution wasn't on
the way!
After Adam and Eve fell for the
serpent the work-or- -croak revolution
took place.
After humanity got so natural that
life became downright wicked, Jeho-
yah sprung the Revolution of the
Flood.
Way back about that time Prone
theus announced revolution because
Zers hogged all the Aphrodites him
self.
Then came the endless revolution of
historical memory down to the Zone
lust ahead" It's an old and tiresome
game of see-saw in which life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness always
get it in the neck.
The "coming revolution" is very
old stuff.-Cartoons Magazine.

FARMERS OPPOSE PLAN
For Daylight Saving as Recently
Adopted in st. Adams.

St. Albans, April l5.--Mueh opposi-
ton has been expressed by the farmers
Of this locality against the resolution
recently passed by the city council in
regard to daylight saving
Many farmers are selling their farms
and moving to the cities, which ac-
counts in part for the present shortage
of houses Daylight saving is an i'm
portant factor in causing the farmers
To leave their homes partly because Of
the labor question and partly on ac-
count Of their psychological opposition
to the plan itself The labor question
is of great Importance. The farm
workingman who comes TO the city
sees the shop laborers and Others I'm
ishing work al 3. and o'clock. This,
in connection with the higher wages,
greatly influences the farm laborer IN
leaving for the city. The farmer IS
naturally opposed to the plan when il
makes il necessary for him to get up
al 2 or 4 o'clock in the morning and
ret through al or ) in the afternoon
10 accommodate the hired help who
wish To get through the same time as
city workmen.
ii is felt by many farmers that this
plan will hurt the merchants financial
iy rs the country resident would much
rather order his merchandise from the
mail order houses than to give up part
Of his afternoons work for the sake OF
getting 10 the city before the stores
close at night.
Various organizations are protesting
very strongly against the resolution.
Examples Of this are the grange aud
the COUNTY farm bureau.
II is an acknowledged fact that food
production is the paramount object OF
the farmer and of the nation at this
time. This being the case, are st. Al
bans and other towns going to retard
the greatest industry in this section Of
the country by putting into effect this
obnoxious resolution :" say the farmers.
They say further that they sincerely
hope this is not .the case. for as a
whole they firmly believe It is not for
the best interest Of this country.

IRISH TENSION
is RELIEVED
By Release of SO Sim Fein
Hunger Strikers in
Dublin
IRISH NEWSPAPERS
SAY CRIME AVERTED
British Government Called
Upon to Show Justice
and Humanity

Dublin, April Accommodating on the
release yesterday of 6s Sim Feiners
who had been on hunger strike in
Mount Joy prison, the Irish Times
says:
Nationalist Ireland has worked it
self into such a passion over the suf-
ferings of the prisoners that single
death in Mount JOY prison might have
provoked an almost uncomfortable out
burst of crime and lawlessness. This, at
any rate, has been averted and, com
bined with breathing space it gives
the new authorities in Dublin castle, it
may be accepted as justification for
the climb down, which in any othef
circumstances would have been wholly
ignominious."
1T is too soon to rejoice, for the re-
covery Of several of the victims is
grayely doubtful" says the Freeman's
Journal. but the agony of nation is
relaxed, and the indignant passion
which required strong counsel and
sclf-control to check can now be d.
rected into resolute determination TO
break the system which could so out
rage humanity and defy justice by
policy that might have betrayed the
people into extremes of violence. The
action of Irish laborites had ominous
ly stirred the rank and file of British
labor and general strike began to
cast its shadows beyond the Irish sea-"
The Irish Dependent remarks: Now
that the government has tardily given
wav in some measure TO justice and
humanity, let it, in Gods name, in
dulge in no more wriggling tyranny
and pettishness in regard 10 treatment
given in prison to political prisoners.

In this territory there are more than
100000 Slovenes who resent the sur
VIGILANCE Of the Italian military police.
Revolving Slav elements. fired with
socialism. communism and bolshevism,
internationally attack the Italian mill
tary patrols and carabineers of the
army of occupation.
In these districts there have been
within a year 20 ASA ssinations and
1000 arrests. Attempts have been
made to set up a communists regime
at Dignano where large stores Of am
munition which belonged to the old
Austrian army had been collected and
hidden beneath a building used a. the
headquarters workmen's commit
tee. The plot was discovered by the
Italian police, who raided the head
quarters and arrested 100 Slavs. Dur
ing the fighting with the communists
the building was wrecked by bombs.

been organized by Slav wOrkmen. have
taken place at Pola. and large Italian
