Scripture Quoted
Mrs. Argyl M. Harris, 1620
Court street, who' likes to get up
early in the morning, takes ex
ception to the views of a writer
yesterday who considered it sini
ful to tamper with the clocks.
Mrs. Harris quotes Proverbs in
support of her argument.
R, Perlich, route 6, is a far
mer, and wants none of it. It
will interfere with the milking,
he says..
D. A. Harris, route 5, another
fanner, is against changing the
time unless the Lord will turn
the regulator on the sun.
Here is what they write:

turning the clock one hour ahead.

our excellent little morning pa

it a bit. But do I favor it? I cer

than it reminds me of Proverbs
31-15, King Solomon's "most ex
cellent woman": "She ariseth
while it is yet night, and glveth
her household meat, and a por
tion to her maidens." Now, if
we housewives could get our
work done -in the daylight, re
freshing hours of early morning,
and rest and keep cool in the
heat of the day, how pleasant.it
would be. And we'd be so much
better natured, too. . To my mind
there is only one thing "more
pleasant than a day in June,"
and that is an early summer mor
ning, especially in June. Birds,
flowers, all nature seems waking
to the Joys of a new day. Often
I get up and take a walk, ..then
"give my household meat." This
throws my work into the . heat
of tbe day. I can't lay claim to
many of the excellencies of the
"most excellent woman," but I
do like the early morning hours
for work. As for Joyriding, glory
be! .Give them daylight instead
of dark, if possible.

shot which wounded Ohman. .
The men then rushed to the as
sistance of the hoys and while
overpowering the bandit, the oth

second bandit was bound " and
