to families. Why, they even ask you il
you expect to have any more"
In its freedom from labor troubles and
its diversity of industry Brattleboro is
a very fortunate town. 1t was only 4
few years ago that we were casting en-
vious eyes toward Bellows Falls with its
war contracts and boom wages. Now the
situation is reversed. While business
here is practically normal, Bellows Falls
is up against one of the toughest indus
trial situations in its history. Tho Yer
mont Farm Machine Co. which at one
time had weekly payroll of SD 900, is
now employing less than 81 men outside
small Office force. On top of this. work
ceased Monday in the International Pa
per Co, plant and a weekly payroll of APP
proximately $4,000. affecting about 100
men, evaporated. At least one other pa
per plant is closed while most of the re
naming concerns are operating on part
time.

CITIES SAVE DAYLIGHT.

The National Daylight Saving asSOcia-
ton declares that 90 per cent of the
people in the United States are in favor
Of notwithstanding" The evidence
points to somewhere near that proportion
in the eastern states. at least.
New York affords a striking example.
The legislature, influenced by rural pro-
tests, repealed the state law but provided
local option for cities. As a result. every
considerable city in the state decided TO
continue the former arrangement, and
last week IS communities changed their
clocks TO start the day an hour earlier.
The railroads have been obliged. as a gen
cral thing, to adapt their schedules to
the city changes. The farmers. there
fore, have lost after all. for in all their
traffic with the cities they are subject
to the notwithstanding regime Just the
same.
An effort is being made to have con
gress authorize a uniform notwithstanding
rule in the eastern time district There
is no evident reason why that should not
be done, if a dcmonstrablc majority is in
favor of it. Majorites are supposed to
rule. in this country. 1t would be a good
thing to establish that principle with re-
gard to this very modern issue, and then
apply it throughout the country. letting
every zone or every characteristic geo.
graphical section decide for itself whether
it wanted the old summer time schedule.
or the new. Preponderantly industrial
sections would nearly all choose the new
arrangement, and farming sections the
old. Even the farmers. however. may
change their minds about it one of these
times.

Ground was broken yesterday aft-

Ground was broken yesterday aft ernoon at Fairfield for the new $60, coo Baptist church, the construction of which will be begun immediately. Charles J. Donaldson, Jr, son of Dr. Charles J. Donaldson, lifted the first shovel of dirt from the ground. He was chosen because he had contribut- ed more to the building fund than any young child.
 ,fhe programme included prayer by Dr. J. w. Hobbs of Birmingham and a short talk by pr. Frank liar rington, head of the Baptist mission board of Birmingham. The benedic- ton was pronounced by Dr. David M. Gardner of Ensiey.
 The home mission board of the Baptist church contributed $20,000 of the fund with which the church will be built, the remaining amount be- ing raised by people of Fairfield.
