The Daylight
 Saving Time
Looks as Though It Has About Reached Its
 Finish

With the eight hour day in force 1t is not likely that the early rising movement will last any longer than this year. There will be no argu- ment to offer in favor of getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning when one does not have to go to work before and quit at 4. In- troduced as war measure. the daylight saving law was kept in force ever since. Although 1t worked a hardship to the masses, 1t had enough packers to force it upon them.
 Now that there will be no reason any sane man would offer for the early rising time, those who have suffered under it will be curious to know if an effort will be made to keep it up. Of course there was ab. solutely no ground on which to base an argument in favor of the early rising the last four years when most people were on short time and millions idle. still they had. to grin and bear it.

BLUE EAGLE" SPECIALS PROVE
 GREAT SUCCESS

"Spend Under the Blue Eagle"-- a campaign slogan that Is being heard everywhere one which promises to be equal In importance to, and will be as widespread In influence as the famous Liberty bond campaign of World war days!
 To guarantee the success of such a campaign 1t Is necessary for every man, woman and child to buy not only, from merchants who display the Blue Eagle emblem, but merchandise created by man. ufacturers or purchased from firms who work under the approved N. R. A. code.
 ono store has instituted a novel plan for tho furtherance Of this Ideal. This store indicates, with q special Blue Eagle label, merchant disc made or bought and sold un. der the N. R. A. code. and offered at approved, most attractive pre- imitation prices"
 The success of this plan became Assured from the first day. Mer- chandise bearing the new emblem of prosperity was readily sold out and now orders placed on N. R. A. manufacturers.
 This plan, declares Colonel NJ. C. Mumma, district manager, and c, $. Eidel, local manager of Sears, Roebuek and company, Ia the only way in which the efforts of tho administration can be 100 per cent effective. These men are firmly convinced that when every patri. otic American whole heardedly supports the Blue Eagle" plan. then, and not until then, will pros- perity return.
 Sears store in this locality in- tends continuing certain Blue Eagle specials" even though their original introductory campaign, featuring many such specials, ends this Saturday.

Ing dormant seeds generally due to the differences to be found in the various seeds, yet 1t appears that gas treatments similar to those used In this study may prove Of real value In many instances. While the writer prefers to use ethylene for accelerating seed germination the two commercial Illuminating gases used in this study proved to be quite satisfactory as well as convenient.
 Five different seeds -- black oak acorns. wheat, tomato, Lettuce and field peas were used in the experiments. Only the tomato seeds failed to respond to the gas treatments, One or more gaseous treatments exerted an effort on the other four, however, which varied In results, probably because of in- ternal differences. resident within the seeds.
 "It Is quite clear that illuminat- Ing gases such as the mixed and coke oven gases used in these stud les accelerate the germination Of some seeds,' Professor Deuber states. "The ingredients (of the gases) responsible are difficult to determine out of the complex composition of these commercial cases. It may be the high carbon monoxide content. the unsaturated hydrocarbons, lack of oxygen or a combination effect. Ethylene, one of the constituents, has been shown to act similarly. ..
