Now that "daylight eaving" is in efTect, why not adopt a scheme to I aave some moonlight during the com¬ ing smrnneT for young couples who like to spoon at resorts or other plsrea ' sometimes until fate at night? Twi¬ light lingers until a late hour on Sum¬ mer eveninga and the "camouflaged clocks" will call them to bed an hour 1 earlier than usual next Summer. They will be cut short that much in the precious time alioted for "cooing" I beneath the "light of the ailvery I rtioon." "The Traveler suggests that I the youthflu awain.«« appeal to Marcus Marks, head of the Daylight Saving Association in New York or to U. S. S?nator Calder of Brooklyn.

The big packing con- ; corns announced that the increase was due to the lightness of cattle receipts, and was customary at this season.

This time they got the fire under control, then undertook to bum out all the weeds and meadow grass '¦ around there. It wa sonly from their ' persistent efforts that" they got this i under control and averted a disaster, i Too much carelessness has resulted ' in more than one fire recently.

We Cannot Do Without The "Little You Can Do"
Some people say, "I don't eat much wheat or meat; the little I Could save wouldn't amotiat to anything.
''I don't ipend much money on luxuriei; the little I could tave wouldn't help win the war.
"I could only buy one or two Liberty Bonds; that wouldn't be noticed in a great bond issue of billions of dollars."
If every person in the country who can save only a little and in¬ vest a little felt that way, we would have to quit before we began. Our country would b« absolutely helpless. "Wt ^ould bave to say to Germany,''Come over and help yourselves—We can't fight you — each one of us can only fight a Ilttfe." "'^
It is the little savings and the little investments that will win this war. Do your shate—your little is of vital ItapotUa^e-nguiut help is essential to an American VICTQR Y. / J^
