she was muffled to the neck, swathed

The government wants the country
in general to adopt the plan of day daylight
light daylight saving that is, it will want the
clocks moved anead an hour every
day from the end of winter to the be;
ginning of autumn. We can't see h6w
this plan can be carried out without
abolishing standard time; At pres
ent, owing to the division of the Unit
ed States, into time-belts, about two two-thirds
thirds two-thirds of the country is ahead of sun-
time, and the ; remainder behind it.
Eastern time, for instance, is based
on Washington, which has to the east
of it only a small corner of the coun country,
try, country, while to the west is a broad belt
in which are several of the most pop.
ulous states. Every mile west: of
Washington is a gain for daylight
time. Chicago time, which f includes
Florida, i3 nearer even, losing for
daylight east of Chicago, and gaining
for it to the west. Chicago, like
Washington, is not in the center of
its belt, there being more to the west
than to the east. Mountain-time is
based on Denver, with most of its
territory to the west; it is only Pa Pacific
cific Pacific time where the sun loses in the
course of the year. The only way to
set the clocks ahead would be
for each community to keep dou double
ble double time that is, sun time and rail-
" t:-r;?. If Ocala J--::ople set their
- r j c i rv'Iror. 1 tir.e, they
would be half an hour ahead of sun
time; if they set them ahead on
sun time, they would be half an
hour ahead of the railroads. Setting
the clocks ahead in European coun countries
tries countries makes no trouble, as in the big
gest Germany it is only an hour by
sun from east to west, but if it is
tried in America" it will cause more
trouble than it will be worth. The
only practical way to save day daylight
light daylight would be for the people of
each community to get together and
agree to set, not clocks, but their
businessm an hour ahead. This could
be easily done in Ocala. If the places
of business, for instance, would agree
to open an hour earlier every morn morning
ing morning and close an hour sooner every
evening, the town could easily follow
their lead.

country that this place and that place
is entitled to a training camp, a naval

The sentiment savors entirely too

large a proportion of the people look
at the war as a means of making
money. We must rid ourselves or tnis

we win, our victory will be almost as
bad as a defeat; We would be glad to
have that convalescent hospital locat

a good place for it. It is healthy and
quiet, with good railroad facilities for
that sort of a camp. We think a camjd
of that sort is much less of a money money-making

sort of a camp in fact, if we have a

CIGARETTES
In Memory of My Beloved Brother
SERGEANT JAMES E. LEITNER
How happy we were ten months ago,
After the time had passed so slow;
While on the border-"Dude" did his
. duty away,
And to us he came for a few months'
stay.
But in, a few weeks, our hearts ached
V with pain,
For we knew he must soon leave us
again.
But we were so proud of our boy,
ready to go,
While numbers hung back and made
; a cowardly show.
He did not get busy and swear to
lies
To be a "cowardly slacker" under
Florida skies:
I have often heard him say, with lips
drawn tight, i, -"I
don't want any one to go in my
place to fight."
So on he went cheerful to do his
"bit,'?
While a handsome (?) slacker at
' home would sit,
Confident at the end he can sham off
brave,
When to the world he should be
branded a knave.
On his death-bed he lay with noises
around: -How
I wished him to be where there
was no sound; s
But some kind comrades of old Com-
. pany'A
Went to cheer him for as long as
wiey couiu suiy.
Little did I know on that September
day.
Only three months now passed away,
When he kissed me good-bye and
turned to hide his tears,
That it would be the last thru the re remaining
maining remaining years.
But God ordained that the brave boy
should not die
Far from home under a foreign sky.
But at Camp -Wheeler in a hospital
ward
His spirit from his body fled to meet
his Lord.
Just as he ceased panting and in
death's stupor lay
There came a sweet smile for a min minute
ute minute to stay,
As though he saw some special
friend;
After that it can't be believed he
must answer sin."
Why do our rebellious hearts ache
with pain, J
When God must have foreseen it
would be our gain
To have our precious boy buried in
this sunny land
Than to fill a nameless grave in for for-.
. for-. eign sand.
