Head of Daylight Saving Association
Says Rural Folks Dropping Hostility
M'Cready Sykes, in Commerce and Finance
Marcus M. Marks, president of the National Daylight Saving
association, says that rural sentiment is coming round in favor o
the reform. It is from the farmers that most of the opposition has
come, and the farm sentiment was responsible for the repeal of the
federal law. For the past two or three years in many of the cities
tnd their adjacent*territory we have had one standard time and a
Vime an hour later in the country. In England they have finally
enacted daylight saving into permanent statutory law.
Mr. Marks says that the most curious objection has come from
a farmer of Bucks county, Pennsylvania, who complains that day
light saving has increased the divorce rate. He explained that
where it prevailed the farmers finished their work an hour earlier
than formerly and in consequence they went to country dances,
where they fell a prey to the wiles of attractive girl*, who wrought
such havoc among them that many divorces followed.
The parent vote has been on the fence. It is hard enough to
get small children to bed as it is, but some parents declare that to
get a child asleep two hours or so before dark is almost among the
things that can’t be done. The saving grace of it is they may to
some extent be trained into sleeping later in the morning. 1 lie
argument based on the children’s sleep seems to be answered by
the experience of the Scotch. At the summer solstice the Scotch
get only two or three hours of real pitch darkness. We recall at
tending a political meeting in Glasgow, when some of the audienee
began to think they had had enough speaking and demanded that
the speaker come to an end, and one penetrating Lowland voice
burst out with “It’s ten o’clock! We want to go hoom.” So it
was ten o’clock, but it was still bo light that no lights had been lit
in the hall, and when we came out on the street it was still real
daylight. But no one has ever complained that the Scotch chil
dren do not grow into sturdy men ana women with as fine and
normal nervous systems as are to be found in the world.
What really caused the trouble with the standard system is
that somehow we long ago got into the habit of dividing our work
ing day in half not in the middle of daylight but an hour or two
later. An office day, for example, is apt to begin at nine or half
past and last till five, so that its middle point is about one o’clock.
If it began at eight and ended at four we should have the extra
hour of daylight without changing the standard. When we take
the whole working day we have divided it still more unevenly,
pushing far more than half of it into the post meridian.
A few years ago there was—it may exist yet—an odd survival
of the old “sun time” in the mining camps tributary to Boise,
Idaho, some forty or fifty miles away from the city. They still
kept sun time, some forty minutes out of line with standard time,
and if one did not look out he might miss connection with the stag
es leaving for town. The miners’ insistence on the old standard
time reflected, long after the cause had been forgotten, resentment
against the railroad, which as originally built had left Boise to
one side. Standard time was commonly referred to as railroad
time, And the miners had so little patience with that particular
railroad that had been so inconsiderate of their capital that they
would not even recognise railroad time. That was the oddest bit
of anti-railroad sentiment that we recall.
Bright Cloths* For Mon.
Evansville Courier.
The Count Itomain de Tirtoff Erte,
famous Russian designer of women’s
gowns, aided and abetted by the New
¥ork Cutters’ Club, is trying to con
cert American men to brighter dress,
especially for evening wear.
Our women, he says, dress well,
and are a Joy to behold. But the
men—
“Ah, del! Are they not terrible?
Their clothes make me suffer. At
the opera one sees the women, gor
geously dressed, harmonizing with
the ensemble. Then the men, with
their 'horrible black clothes! They
spoil everything. Ah, mon Dleu!"
“Yet,” he concludes, “It can b#
changed. Slowly, perhaps, but it can
be changed. I personally do my
little bit. I have no black evening
ilothes. One suit of brown, one of
srlolet—quiet colors like that. One
must go slowly at first..’’

Table Steadied by $20,00ft Book.
From the Montreal Oaxette.
An Antwerp art collector, with an
observing eye, spotted 1 book under
a table leg In a sSack where he had
climbed the s.fcirs hunting for rare
antiques. The woman In whose home
the volume was sighted offered him
a chair while he recovered his breath
from the climb and on examlng the
book he found it to be bound In hu
man skin. He obtained the work
from the woman who could neither
read nor write, and sold it for $20,
000, half of which he then gave to the
woman. It Is said.
upsetting to a conservative countrv
and sex tihan a flagrant attempt to
change sartorial styles and bring a
little color Into formal dress. It Is
worse than an attack on the constitu
tion or golf rules. Yet the Cutters'
Club, the other evening, at a ban
quet, showed mannikins In blue dress
suits and the celling did not fall on
lihem, or the diners throw dishes at
them.
Eventually we may get as far away
from the present funeral fashion as
Mark Twain did with his white dress
suit. For the present, mauve and
blue are quite revolutionary enough;
anything more might bring a sen
tence of deportation.

Where The Profits Oo.
From the Chicago News.
A group of farmers were talking at
the village store and one of them
asked: “Do you think U pays to keep
poultry?"
"Well, no, I can't say that I do,”
was the answer, “but I'm sure it pays
my eon Jim."
“How's'that?" asked another man.
‘ Well, you see. I bought him the
fowls: I have to furnteh their feed;
I buy the eggs from him and he eats
them."

PLAY
By Hal Cochran.
What do you mean, when you
solemnly say, “I guess that I’m
getting old?” I’ll bet you’ve for
gotten the secret of plny.v If the
story were truthfully told.
You can’t limp around In an old
easy chair and spend all your time
Just a fretting. If that's what
you do—well. It seems only fair
that the age ache’s the thing you
are getting.
Too often, we fall at Just facing
the truth ’cause It’s easy to loaf
life away. We know that there
still Is a calling of youth if we'd
only get pep up and play.
Real "vigor and vim will keep
people In trim though a great
many years have been tolled.
When you let such things halt, J
wrell. It’s Just your own fault, If I
you have to admit that you're old.
'Come on there, young fellow,
don't simply be yellow, but put up
an age fight that's real. If you'll
.learn how to play, you’ll agree,
when I say, that you’re only as
old as you feel.
"Hedging."
Emil Hofsoos, in Forbes Magazine.
Hedging is the process of protecting
one transaction by means of another.
For example, a country elevator buys
wheat at $1 a bushel from the farmer,
and this $1 includes, let us say, a 8
cent profit for the elevator. To
hedge, the elevator sells an equivalent
amount of wheat futures. Then,
when the cash wheat Is sold, futures
are bought, thus cancelling the pre
vious futures transaction. Now, sines
one transaction is a sale and ths
other a purchase, no matter which
way the market goes, the gain on one
will be offset by a loss on the other.
The original trading profit of S cents
a bushel, which was included in ths
selling pries, is thus protected
against the fluctuations of the mar
ket. Without tliis protection, ths
original profit might have been
wiped out entirely. Theoretically,
therefore, the hedging process give*
perfect Insurance against loss.
In brief, the beneficial economic
effect of hedging Is this, that by mak
ing it possible for grain dealers—
elevators, millers, etc.—to avoid
speculation, it at the same, time
makes It possible for them to oper
ate on a smaller margin of profit
These smaller margins react to the
benefit of the farmer by giving him
a higher pries for his grain, and to
ths benefit of the consumer by limit,
ing the price he must pay for the
finished product.
CANDLEMAS
O hearken, all y little weeds
That lie beneath the enow,
(So low, dear hearts. In poverty so
low!)
The sun hath risen for royal deed*
A valiant wind the vanguard leads;
Now quicken ye, lest unborn seeds
Before ye rise and blow.
O furry living things, * dream
On Winter's drowsy breast,
(How rest ys there, how softly,
safely rest!)
Arise and follow whers a gleam
Of wizard gold unbinds the stream,
And all the woodland windings seem
With sweet expectance blest.
My birds, corns back! the hollow sky
Is weary for your nota.
(Sweet-throat, come back! O liquid
mellow throat!)
Ere May's soft minions hereward
fly.
Shame on ys, laggards, to deny
The brooding breast, the sun-bright
eye,
The tawny, shining coat!

News.
