' Daylight Saving Has Fak
filled Expectations. v
Official order has boon Issued to
turn back the clocks one hour,
thus bringing the tline system to
llio old running order, -or as near
Bun Mine as the' gone limit: estab
lished In the, United States- will

. at midnight, October 27, and . will

. Claim Is mode that tho daylight
savlug law has mora than- fulfilled
tho prophecies, of Its advocates,
says the Boise Statoaman. Io re
ality, for all practical purposes, it
' has turnod ono hour -of night Intc
day. It has by a direct and known
camouflage changed the habits of
tho poople without In any way mak
ing thoin lnconvonlently. aware of
the fact. CItlzona Went on arising
. at their uaujl time by tlia manipu
lated clocks, though aecrotly know
ing that such "usual" time was in
fact one hour earllor.
Tho clinngo back to the old
systom will be accomplished with
as little stir' and Inconvenience as
tho othor chnngo lant spring; Then
the employes working an eight?
- hour' shift which oxtondod ovorthe
midnight when tkjo , chungo was
Hindu, In "ronlily worked . a seven
hour Bhlft and gninod an advantage
of ono hour. The same -employes
; working on a Blmllnr shift on the
night of October 27, wilt In real
ity work nine hours, and- tho era
ployois .'wll regain that; ono hour,
whlctf will ;oquollie 'natters.'
Thd systom during the 'summer
gavo ono hour more ot daylight be
tween tho close ot regular employ
ment and dark, in which-, eittsena
could engage in other work, pro
fornbly that" which would aid la
the war program. Much of this la
bor was glvon to gardening and
farm work. Tho people also saved
to tho pooplo gas, coal and oloctrio
bills, in this respect It baa been
estimated that the nation Baved 10
per cont of the money formorly ex
pended In that direction.
Tho United ' Statoa fuel admin
istration estimates that In the sev
en months of daylight saving tho
nation oconomlted to tha extent of;
1,250,000 tons of coal In the run
ning of lighting plants alone. Tho
national war garden commission es
timates the crops from war garden
aggregated in- yalue 1525.000,000,
and much of this was made possible
through tho utilizatlou ot that ad
ditional hour ot daylight given, to
wage workers after regular dally
employment. Counting 2$ working
days In each of the seven months
during which the system has been
In force, and the aggregate of
daylight snvlng represents 182
hours. 1
. A statistician who wishes to go
further can estimate that It ap
proximately ono-fotirth ot tho po
pulation, or about 10,000,000 peo
ple, employed that hour In useful

Tho forces- that, confront, each othor

v.ds the comforts of Ufa tor Amer
ican boys through tho United War

Servlco, Jewish Welfare Hoard, Am

It is the Borvlce rendered, by
those organizations Ihnt makes for
the splendid morale of ' tho Ameri

a recent loiter commenting on the
worn or uiese agencies quotea Willi
approval the statement, of one of
his colonels who said "(live ma nine
man who have a hut to spend their
evenings in nnd I will have a bet
ter fighting force than ton. men
would be without It."
Dr. John P. Mott, director gencr-
iil of the Unltod War Work Ciim-
pi.lgn says: "If It la worth twonty
four billion dollars to keep our
boys under nrnia next year surely
It Is worth a hundred and seventy
million and more Co add ten por
cent to their fighting edgo to bring
victory ton per cont nearer. This
la the appeal of 'the seven united
war work agencies to America and
particularly to those four - million
l.oiuns where service flags fly. .
"Viewed as a total sum, S170.-
600,000 seems gigantic, but divide
It by the four million men who
will be under arms In our army
and navy during the porlod. It Is
expected to cover and- It means leas
than fifteen cents a day per man.
'Surely there Is no father or mo
ther or friend ot a soldlor In this
great country who will say that
fifteen cents a day Is too much to
spend on his church, his home, his
library, his theater, and his club
over there."

According to the state board ot
health a minimum of two weeks

munity will have the Influenza ban-
lifted. This information was ob
tained Saturday when La Grande
physicians passed the whole matter
of re-opening schools up to tho
state officials. And at tho end ot
two weeks there Ib nothing certain
about opening up things, for It there
Is any case still lingering it Is
probable the closing, order will
continue.

story circulated yesterday that Ed-

was a mistake, tor he is better and

That there are . no present pros

places of amusement or ptibllc ga

GETTIN' RICH
Did you ever study much about
getting rich?
Sonic people are getting rich, and, apparently,
with great ease. Do you know their plan? In
many .instances here it is:
They commenced by laying aside a fixed portion
o their income; this they deposited regularly
in banks, where it was allowed to accumulate.
Arc you working along this line!
Wc. encourage small accounts, and always give
them respectful attention. 'Wc are not in-the
tho least particular about the sizeof your first
deposit; any size from oiU dollar up, will be re
ceived. '

What's the right thing to
about buying clothes?
OU as a wearer of clothes, and we as merchants, ought
1 to save on clothes in every way possible. The less you
consume; the more labor and 'material are left for our
fighting forces.
Real economy in clothes is measured .by the number of days'
service they give for each dollar of cost; buy on that basis.
