Days llegin Harllon
Holt county residents who may have
never seen the sun rise will have
ample opportunity tu do so this sum
mer. The daylight saving bill has
missed both houso and senate, and
has been signed hy the president, and
Is now a law.
Under the provisions of the art all
clocks will be turned ahead one hour.
nils will be done March Ml. next .Sun
day, when the new law is to beroma
cirectlvc, and the schedule will ho
maintained until tho Inst Sunday in
October, when tho clocks will bo
turned back aguin for tho winters
run o fsliort days.
Tho idea I sto conserve daylight. In
summer tho sun rises shortly after 4
o'clock, but the average person lies In
until 6 or 7 o'clock, thereby wasting
mucn precious iiuyngnt. under tun
new plun ho will arise an hour earlier,
and so be ablo to quit an hour earlier
in tho afternoon.
It will bo a great boon to tho man
wltn a garden, as ho will get started
in it an hoar earlier each day than
last year. If ho is a golf nlaver or a
tcnnlt. player, or a checker player, or
a chronic loafer, thcro will be an hour
more for his favorite gamo
after the offices close. Supper will hi)
over and the dlBhes' washed In time to
lake the family to tho park or for n
motor ride.
The daylight savins plan, which soon
Is to btcome a national Institution, was
first adopted In this country by Cleve
land and Detroit two years ago. Vir
tually all of the European countries
have adopted It Wherever it has been
tried the plan is declared to bo not
only a saving of time, but of money,
Dr. J. C. Whltmer will leave Sun
day for Columbia, this state, where
