Old King Tut in splendid gloom
Was laid in a tremendous tomb,
Surrounded by the works of art
In which his gold had played a part

How to Vote
For Standard Time

The kennebec Journal:
Quite a lot has been said lately
about how to vote on Dec. 7th, If you
want to vote for standard time, SO a
suggestion may be in order. The
question on the ballot reads: Shall
An Act Entitled "An Act Relating to
Standard Time" become a law? Now
it is obvious to any one who reads
the question that to vote for standard
time, they should place cross in the
square with "Yes" over it. and to
vote for daylight saving time the
cross should be placed in the mo"
square, but so much has been said
about notwithstanding time, that the
general impression is that If one
votes Yes, they are voting for day.
light saving time. but such is not
correct. SO remember that if you
want to vote for One Time and that
Standard Time. mark your ballot in
