The Salina Union thinks the Re-
fiectOr did wrong in criticizing the
bill to add another member to the
federal reserve board In order to
make Il place for u dirt farmer"
What the Reflector criticizes Is the
addition Of more job holders when
ever any special interest wants rep
reSentatiOn. Our idea Is that agri-
culture should be represented and
that the way to do 1t is to fire one OF
the present members of the board
and pat farm representative there.
We notice that President Harding Is
not enthusiastic for the addition Of a
new member. We would like to see
the Kansas congressman working
for less jobs instead of more of
them. We hope they will not sup
port the bill to add 80 members of
con gress. adding 100000 or more
to the nations expense bill annually
forever. The way to do business is
to do 1t.

Some For-Some
Against New Time
Daylight Saving Has Friends
and Enemies-In Effect
April 30th

Daylight Saving has it's friends and
also it's foes.
This is evident from the comment
heard about the town since Town
Council last week passed resolution
that will make Daylight Saving law
here starting April 30th. Although
there was not a dissenting vote by
the Councilmen on the resolution that
will send the clocks an hour ahead on
April 30th, several of the members
did not vote.
There was hardly anything for
Town Council to do but pass the reso-
luton, inasmuch as the college and
the local schools are going to operate
on the new time and many trains of
the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio railroads will be changed to COM
ply with the new schedule of time.
New York, Philadelphia, Whining
ton, Baltimore and many other cities
and towns in this district will have
the Daylight Saving again this year.
Most of these places had this law in
effect last year but Newark stuck to
the "honest to goodness" time and as
result the towns many commuters
found themselves reaching their work
before they had really left home ac-
cOrding to their clocks, and when they
returned home in the evening, they
found everyone else in the town
ready, or gone out for the evening.
The members of Council who spoke
in favor of the resolution giving New
ark the new time used this as an
argument of why the town should set
its clocks ahead in keeping with the
other towns and cities.
Had Council not passed the resolu-
tion at the special melting last week
it is probable that the townspeople
would have found even harder prob
lem to overcome than last year for
with the schools using the daylight
saving time nearly every household in
the town would be effected.
1t is known fact that farmers in
the outlying districts are not in favor
of the manufactured time" but the
working man with a garden is hearth.
ly in favor of it as it gives him an
extra hour in which to work after he
returns from work.
The younger people are also strong
ly in favor of the new time for it
gives those who take part in athletic
events an extra hour of daylight in
which to play.

FIRE SCARE
Several Persons Lose Head When
Fire Bell Is Heard

Persons who attended the minstrel
show in the Opera House, last Friday
night, were given "a thrill when sew
eral persons in the audience started
a rush toward the doors when the To-
cal fire apparatus was heard to go
down Main street.
Just such incidents as these have
resulted in panics and on Friday night
there was no need of any such ex-
citement as the fire to which the
firemen were responding was over a
square away from the Opera House.
When the fire bell first rang, sew
eral young men in the balcony of the
theatre started out and made quite
a noise. This was the start of many
persons on the main floor becoming ex-
cited. 1t was not long before many
persons got from their seats and
started towards the exit, which caused
the many persons to believe that
the fire was either in the Opera House
Building or in the immediate vicinity
and one lady nearly tainted before
being assured that the fire was on
East Main street near Chapel.

Thieves Again Visit
Buckingham's S Store
Cigars, Cigarettes and Candy
Are Stolen Chamber of
Commerce May Take
Action

There is one man in Newark that
is heartily in favor of more police
protection for the local merchants and
that is R. Gilpin Buckingham, who
conducts general store on Main
street.
Within the past three months
thieves have twice broken into his
store and on both occasions have car
ried off more than $50 of merchan-
disc. The latest robbery was commit
ted either late Saturday night or early
Sunday morning.
That the thief or thieves who en-
tered the store took their time in
their work is evident from the manner
in which they entered the store.
A window in a rear storeroom was
first forced open by Jimmy" or
some other blunt instrument. This
room is separated from the store prop
er by heavy wooden door which was
iron bar. To enter the room the in
truders nearly tore the door from it's
hinges.
After entering the store the thieves
went about their work in a systematic
manner and took about $500 cigar
cites, about 1000 cigars, three five
pound boxes of candy and about 6
cents, that they found in the cash
register. Nothing else in the store
seemed out Of place and it is thought
that the same thieves that have rob-
bed Kilmon's, McKelvey's and Buck
ingham's in the past few months were
again on the job. Every time there
has been robbery, cigars and ciga-
rettes have been the thing that the
thieves seem most anxious to obtain
and always carry off.
Several merchants of the town
stated today that they were going to
bring the matter up at the meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce tomor-
row night in regards to obtaining
more police protection for the town.
When the town most needs protection
under the present policing system
there is no one on duty.

Marshal Joffre, French War Hero,
Greeted by Newark's Citizens
Train Bearing Famous Hero Stopped Here for Several
Minutes Monday Morning Thanks
Extended for Reception
About 1000 Persons Crowd B. & o. Station

marshal Joffre enroute to New
York will stop in Newark at 11.49,'
was the message phoned by Agent
Gallaher of the B & o on Monday.
The news went like wildfre. Joffre,
hero of France and the world. Joffre
who stopped them at the Marne, COM
ing to Newark. Tell everybody. Bring
a flag. In half an hour, the whole
town and country side had been noti-
fled and everybody felt the thrill of
martial excitement.
Mayor Frazer was notified at once
and arrangements were made for
President Hullihen to speak for the
town and voice the greetings that
everyone felt.
High School girls and boys, Gram
mar School and Primary with flags
flying, Women's College girls, in files
of four student cadets with band and
colors, R. o. T. c., veteran heroes and
soldiers who fought on French soil,
professors, teachers, citizens, house
wives-everybody seemed to take
holiday and why not? Here was a
very Hero in very life who saved Lib
erty itself, perhaps. Certainly, an oc-
casion for holiday and tribute!
Just how many persons gathered
to greet the war hero is hard to esti-
mate but it is thought that there were
about 1000 persons present.
The Marshal and his party occupied
a pullman observation car on the rear
of a Washington-New York express
train. When this train pulled into
the station it went rather far up the
platform and the crowd Immediately
surged along with the train. When
the train finally came to stop the
Marshal attired in full military uni
form made his appearance on the
platform of his special car.
Among others in the party who
were on the platform were Nine.
