Daylight Saving Time
Now In Effect

I
Now In Effect
The citizens of Milton on Satur-
day afternoon voted in favor of
daylight saving time by a small
majority. The vote was 80 in favor
of the new time and rs against 1t.
The new order went into effect on
Monday morning. Only persons liv-
ing within the town limits were
permitted to vote. Several persons
from the rural sections thought
they should have a right to vote be-
cause it would affect them If the
new time was adopted, but they
were turned away, while a number
who did not live In the limits of
the town. but own property here
were. allowed to vote. That doesn't
make sense to us.
Death Claims Small Child
Grace Elizabeth, age seven
months, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hall Reed, of Milton, died in the
Milford Memorial Hospital on Sun
day morning. Grace was a bright,
sunny little girl and will be sadly
missed by the family and neigh
bors. Besides her parents she is
survived by a brother and four
sisters. Funeral services were
held at the home on Tuesday after
noon, conducted by Rev. ]. ]. Won
Hagel. Interment was made in
Zion cemetery, near town.
Hail Storm
On Sunday afternoon this town
and vicinity was pelted by hail
stones, more than one-half inch in
diameter. About an hour after the
first storm, which was accompan-
led by torrential rain. another de-
scended upon this section. Rain and
hail fell so fast for time that the
cutters were unable to carry it OF
and as a result sidewalks and road
beds were flooded. Despite the hail
stones very little damage was done
growing crops.
Flower Thieves Very Active
The housewives of Milton are up
in arms over the theft of their
flowers and shrubbery. The thief
or thieves have taken from the
porches and lawns of homes on Fed
eral, Chestnut and Broad streets
during the past two weeks. On
Chestnut street the porch boxes
and ferneries at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Lohand have been
almost stripped. On Broad street
the beautiful geraniums thriving in
boxes hung at the sides of the
porches of Mr.. and Mrs. William
T. Walls, were depleted recently.
The thief works late at night while
the householders are asleep. The
people of Chestnut street are al
most certain as to, the culprit that
worked that street, and unless re-
turn of the plants is made in
short time an arrest is almost GER
tain.
