 Daylight slaving is with us again. One of our readers has submitted. 1t follows below, a very timely bit Of poetry from another publication and it is:
 He Saved Daylight and-Whafs
 He Got?
 Way back in Nineteen-twenty-one Bill Gay, the cosmopolitan,
 At close of day desired more time And tried the daylight-saving plan. It sure was great for him, you know, Each day he saved one hour of light: But frugal as Bill was, 'tis strange, He squandered all he saved are night. And then came fall and winter. too. When daylight's scarce and nights are
 long,
 And yet for daylight Bill had saved The shortening days he couldn't pro-
 long.
 Once again he wants to save daylight And plans to push the clock ahead; Far better, Bill. yCN push yourself; One hour earlier out your bed. The lazy tamper with the clock And set the time to their capice: But honest men live by the Sun, And bide by what the Lord decrees. Bill Gay, you're none the richer now d9Uljohf saved rTwentU-On6. Tho now you push the clock ahead, You'll have no more when summens
 done.
 Far better let the clock alone. Get up and out at crack of dawn The time to save daylight, my
 friend,
 Is not at ZEN but in the MORN.
 With Hunter quietly and peacefully, Che never has clustered around much or raised much dusO, giving over the reins of his stormy office to Walter Hubbell, smoking Hubbelrs cigars, and rining in Turney's automobile. everything in Stratford has quieted down For a little while anyway. And then along comes the smallpox. Lots of excitement. Lots of indigna- ton. Lots of threats and 'I won'ts," and then, after all, a lot of vaccina- tion. Lots more letters by publicity seekers, lots of bitterness that even the council couldn't arouse; no more smallpox cases; and it will be all the same 100 years from now.
 Hunter will stay in Stratford for a time. Just staying will worry a lot of people for no one can figure just what he is going to do next. If any safes are cracked while he is in the locality he will have to have a good alibi Should Hunter decide to re- turn soon to his home grounds he will strike that locality at the most wonderful time of the year.
