LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Daylight Saving.

Mir. Editor: In reading your paper yesterday I couldn't help but noticing where the mayor of Hartford defies the governor on daylight saving time. Now what do we want of any governor, or president. senate or congress, when . few people defy God and government of- hcials and have time changed to suit themselves and make others suffer for their folly and ignorance? There has been everything done to the hard work ing farmers that can be done? All the hitching posts in the city are removed and when the mayor is asked why don't he have posts set to. hitch to, tells intel ligent hard working men to hitch their horses on the city dump. Isn't that showing how much the city appreciates good fresh milk, eggs and vegetables from the farm and how hard the mayor and chamber of commerce are trying to down the high cost of living by inducing farmers to raise more food supplies and leave their teams outside city limits and back in the goods to the markets and sell cheap so the storekeepers can make | money on them! It reminds me of a story told by good deacon, boy had always had his own way and if he had any bad medicine to take all the rest | of the family must take 1t too or he
 wouldn't. It happened the minister and | his wife were there over Sunday and 1 the boy being i'll had to take alloes He put up his cry he could take 1t but would
 not unless all the rest did The minister
 thinking it only a joke, said yes, they | would take it. After all had taken theirs
 he took his and spit out of it saying i,
 was hard dose to take. Now isn't that just like you daylight saving people? You lay abed until 6 o'clock. The farmers
 have to get up at 2 o'clock to get the Emilk ready for your breakfast Then
 when you get tired getting up so early call time off a month and you can't bt
 Godly enough to get up an hour earlier
 unless you can drive everybody else UT
 an hour earlier.
 No wonder the churches are empty or
 Sundays with such people going to then
 and defying the only God we ever had and putting Him aside and changing His time as they want it. Why shoult
 not violators of time be dealt with tn same as near beer makers when 1t al , comes out one hundred per cent wrong , man has just as good right to def the Volstead act as another has to def, standard time. Wa hone congress see lere is fine and pulishment attache l to all violators of Soa,s time Anyon Il can work from a. m. until 10 D. m. i I they want to, but don't try to compe r others to do it. The railroad compan
 should be severely punished for uphold
 ing and aiding a few lawless people b making farmers work harder and get t - the trains an hour earlier. If the farm n CTS had any sand they would deliver a c milk on standard time as their contraS
 calls for and let the railroad eompan
 keep the milk tr7in on standard tim
 inot dudes time.
 There's no use raising nsney for fe, . eign relief work and neglecting the dea . children's health at home. How man
 tchildren have been impaired in heali
 by this new time.
 Is It is the rural districts, not the cit l. where 1t shines. Now Is the time
 show plainly who you will serve, C.
