Railroad Station Clocks Here
viii Be Hour Behind One
on City Hall
SOME SCHEDULES TO AGREE

Daylight saving will bring about a
reculiar situation as far ms Pennsyl-
vapja Railroad clocks in Broad Street
ststion and other clocks in the city
.rc concerned. As the railroad nn-
,ounces today: "After June 3 the
e,ocks at Broad Street Station will
show eastern standard time. while those
on City Hall will show daylight saving
time.
"When the Broad Street Station
.Iocks show IL o'clock noon, the City
HALL clocks will show / +. M When
,be leaving time Of train Is shown
~ timetable as 2 O'Clock PM. the
C;ty Hall clocks will show 3 O'clock.
Ihese discrepancies are unavoidable as
long as daylight saving Is sought to be
c6rcted BY local ordinances instead of
'sy A general law.
''In n general way, therefore. the
local and short distance trains on the
ten radiating lines serving Philadelphia
will be moved forward approximately
one hour. This will include the sea
shore trains, most trains in the COM
mutation zone and the service between
Philadelphia and New York. There
will be exceptions in certain cases in
which local trims will not be changed.
n will also be necessary in certain
other cases to furnish additional trains.
especially in the morning and evening"
The Philadelphia and Reading Rail
way today made the following explana-
ton:
"Al trains will continue to be
operated on eastern standard time.
However, local trains sto and from
Philadelphia, wherever feasible, will
be run one hour earlier than shown in
present timetables"

ROAD BUILDING WORK
BEGINS IN EARNEST

The work on the four roads to Lees
vile has been started, and much equip
ment and experienced builders have
been imported into the district to SUI
perintend the construction.
Work will be begun in several diff
ferent locations at the same time, the
clearing, grubbing, and grading being
done first.
The contract specifies that the hard
surface will be ready for use June lst
next year. and with good weather and
reasonably favorable conditions, this
will be accomplished.
With the building Of these roads will
begin an era of prosperity to Vernon.
At least, this is what has happened to
every other section, and the possibili-
ties Of this parish are not comprehend
ed by those who have not the chance
to compare it with other sections.

can use? And why should he deny
anyone the same right to these neces
saries, provided the other persons per-
form the best labor they can for
common welfare? On the outside,
under competition, you must save
wealth to make your future secure, to
provide against unemployment, old
age, sickness, and even death, and ey-
en- though you save considerable mon
ey to secure your future, is it really
ever secure? If you reach the point
where you feel safe. you then begin
to worry over the safety of your fam
lily after you are dead and unable to
further protect them. Aside from
that, while you were raking and scrap
ing to make your savings, you were
depriving yourself of many pleasures
= books, education, travel, and even
the very necessaries of life in order
to save. Why should we countenance
system involving constant fear of
the future, in world of plenty?. Here
at the colony, no one tries to save, in
dividually; we are looking for COM
munity safety - not for a few indi-
viduals, but for all. The individual
wrong is wiped away; and when the
parent is taken away he knows that
his family will have equal chance with
all others in the Colony. Now, let us
forget profit and its attending wor-
ries and frightful distortions of ma
ture's truth, and develop a system in
which selfishness. jealousy, and susDi-
cion have no breeding place. This
can only be done when the working
class refuse to longer deal in profits,
either to take or give them. Now,
comrades, we can soon get away from
this system if you will furnish the cash
to further finance our land buying,

Wednesday, Sept. IS. = The wea-
ther is again hot; the Temperature rose
to 81 yesterday and it is little hard
on the young garden truck, but fine for
the sugar cane,which is growing in ex-
cellent shape. The farm crew is still
destroying weeds at the sweet potato
field, but expects to finish by to-mor-
row. The building crew is at work
tearing down the big shed near
the depot and are getting some dandy
lumber out of it, which will be used
in building the addition to the laundry,
and other frame buildings. Comrade
Davis and Comrade Waters are get
ting the foundation set up for the new
ironing room. The Democrat came
off press and went into the mail to-day
and the Colonist is being set up and
will be run off tomorrow. A letter
from Havana gives the news that an
other printer wants to come and join
us at once; we certainly need him, as
he is an all around printer and our
shop is being well-supplied with work.
Don't forget that we can do your print
ing and do it right; and there is no
reason why co-operators should not
be getting your money instead of the
system that is fighting your interests.
This colony was organized to get us
aXvaV from the Drofit system and the
only way the workers can get away
from it is to refuse to take or pay pro-
fit. How can it be donel By getting
together and producing all the necessa-
ries of life and using them, each being
allowed to share equally in thsir use.

FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS

Club women of louisiana stand
behind the bills introduced by Senat-
or Delos R. Johnson in this session of
the Legislature which amend the Civil
Code SO as to admit Louisiana women
to full civil and political rights" was
the statement issued By Mrs. A. F.
Storm. state president Louisiana Fed
Grafton Woman's Clubs, to-day.
Articles twenty four and twenty
five as they now stand on our revised
Civil Code are obsolete and contrary
to fact in view of the position which
the women Of Louisiana as citizens
now occupy. The new constitution re-
cognize$ a change in the status of wo-
men and seeks to remedy certain dis
criminations. Articles twenty four
and twenty five remaining on the sta
tute books tend to impose restrictions
upon the women contrary to the new
spirit of the constitution and the time.
Favorable indications point to prompt
re-enactment of these clauses"
The New Orleans Federation of
Women's Cube has been vigorously
working for this legislation under the
leadership Of Mrs. Judith Hyams Dou-
glas, legislative chairman New Orleans
Federation Woman's Clubs. Promin-
ent club women of Shreveport have en-
dorsed the immediate passage of these
measures and strong endorsement from

just been received in Baton Rouge.

CANADIAN FARMERS
SAVE MILLIONS

Fourteen years ago the farmers of
Canada organized the United Grain
Growers. Ltd, for the cooperative
marketing of their grain. That they
have most successfully accomplished
what the United Grain Growers, Inc,
is now striving to do for the farmers
of the border is indicated by the pub
lication of their financial report for
the past year. The 10000 farmers
comprising the organization, besides
marketing 24,500,000 bushels of grain
and 1864 cars of live stock, thereby
saving several million dollars in brok-
erage fees and commission agents
charges, purchased through their or
ganization at wholesale prices nearly
I$7.000,000 worth of farm and house
hold supplies, including coal, hay,
twine and binding wire, flour and feed,
fruits and vegetables, lumber. farm
machinery, ETC., at a saving of $629,-
$50 for themselves.
Cooperation is the price of agricul-
tural salvation, whether in Canada or
in the United States. - AlI-American

BOY FARMERS WILL
STAGE CORN SHOW

Most Of the parishes of the state
are expected to be represented in the
Boys and Girls Corn Club competi-
ton at the Louisiana State Fair, Octo-
ber 27 to November 6, in which in
creased premiums have been offered.
The exhibits will be shown in the
main Agricultural building and will
be in charge of F. w. Spencer, state
agent directing corn club work.
There are thousands of juvenile
corn growers in Louisiana, practically
every parish being well represented
in the work, and efforts are being ex
erted to have all of the various clubs
represented. There will probably be
at least 1000 boys and girls partici
pating, each with an exhibit of ten
ears of fine corn.
In addition to the Louisiana clut
competition, there will be held an In
terstate Corn Club contest, in which
several states are expected to have
contestants. A handsome trophy is
offered the winner.
The result of the instruction giver
the juvenile farmers in growing fine
corn will be reflected in the large col
lection of excellent specimens dis
played at the State Fair. The ris
play, as usual, promises to be biz
feature.

have direction of the school. Dis
cipline will be required, but at the
same time there will be many pleas
ing privileges for the boys in attend
ance. With Prof. Bretthauer in per
sonal charge, parents need have no
hesitancy in permitting their sons to

attention from man who is friend
of the boys, and whose influence has
been helpful wherever it has come in
contact with the American youth.

Farmers are holding their cotton for
