Haile, Logie Bonnett _______ LOGIE BONNETT, Editor and Manager SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1920 THE DAYLIGHT SAVING HYSTERIA. With the return of spring comes a renewed clamor for what some unfathomable genius has christened the "Daylight Saving Law." This clamor, we are glad to note, is confined principally to city dwellers. The people who live out in God's country have better sense. They know that there are 24 hours in every day, and that the Creator has widely provided so many hours of light and darkness for each day, varying with the seasons. With the Creator's plan they are entirely satisfied. They do not see how any "daylight" can ¦ actually be saved by moving the clocks back for one hour, from April to October. The sun will continue to rise and set according to schedule, and no matter whether the clocks are turned backward or forward the number of hours of daylight will remain the same. As a "war measure," designed mainly to save electrical energy in the great cities, the Daylight Saving Law, so called, may have been justifiable, but it has proved to be a great hindrance to people residing in the country, particularly the farmers, and we don't want any more of it under any circumstances. If our friends in the city think they can save an hour of daylight by getting out of bed an hour earlier in the morning, let them do it, but we propose to rise and retire'at the accustomed hours and we don't want to have the hands of our clocks turned back by legislation edict. If the city folks; want more daylight, why don't they "migrate" with the sun to those portions of the planet where daylight predominates? For our part, we are content to stay just where we are, and to.let well enough alone. CONGRATULATIONS TO JUDGE HARLAN. Governor Ritchie on Tuesday affixed his signature to a bill which had passed the Legislature permitting Associate Judge William H. Harlan, of Harford county, who is near the age limit of 70 years, to serve until the end of his term in 1926. The Jeffersonian begs to exttend to Judge Harlan, who not infrequently sits at Towson, its hearty congratulations. Few men at his age retain unimpaired the mental and physical vigor that Judge Harlan now enjoys, and we hope that he will retain his vigor until the end of his term. It must be very gratifying to Judge Harlan to know that practically every lawyer in this Judicial Circuit signed the petition to the Legislature, asking that his term be extended, and the fact that this has been done, without the slightest opposition, shows that he enjoys the confidence of the people, as well as the lawyers, in the Circuit. When a chicken house is used for a station and an old dilapidated box car for a freight room, it's no wonder the people of Towson ask "where is that new brick station the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad has been erecting for- some five or six years." Perchance it's but another "castle in the air." FACTORY SITE COMMISSION SHOULD BE APPOINTED. The time is opportune, it seems to us, for the County Commissioners to appoint a live-wire, unpaid Factory Site Commission for Baltimore county. Baltimore city has such a Commission, and has had for some time, and the results achieved by it have been more than satisfactory. Why should not Baltimore county, which has as good, if not better, inducements to offer than Baltimore city, have a commission of its own to point out the advantages of the county as the sites for manufacturing enterprises? This matter has for some time past been the subject of frequent discussion, and while everyone seems favorably impressed with the idea of appointing a commission, the County Commissioners have up to this time taken no action. While they are not required by law to appoint such a Commission, the people of the county naturally look to the County Commissioners, as the recognized head of the county government to take the initiative and appoint a commission without further delay. While there will probably be no scramble for membership on this commission, in view of the fact that no salaries are contemplated, we are nev- ertheless confident that the County I Commissioners can find at least five wide-awake, energetic, public-spirited men in Baltimore county who will agree to serve without pay and thus help to upbuild the county. It would seem desirable to have a representative real estate man at the head of the commission, and it would also seem only fair that the expenses of the commission, such as clerk hire, stationery, etc., be paid by the county. "It pays to advertise." This axiom is true not only in the case of private enterprises but in public enterprises as well. This country is now in the process of wonderful industrial development, and Baltimore county should be put in a position to reap some of the benefits, by having a Commission appointed to advertise its advantages and induce outside manufacturers and capitalists to locate within its borders. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. "I think Mr. -Bolt is quite an intellectual young man," the girl remarked. "Oh, do you?" sneered his rival. "Why, yes. It seems to me he is quite a hard thinker on many important subjects." "Well, now that I come to consider it," he returned, "I believe you are right. I never knew a man who thought with so much difficulty."— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. RESERVE DISTRICT NO. 5. Charter No. 8381.

Not one, yet that is what they ask of Uncle Sam. Those fellows who seem to have been careless with their soft boiled eggs at breakfast, are seen on closer view to be merely wearing the latest colored neckwear. So far no sympathy is expressed for the folks whose property depreciates because they and a lot of other people have sent so much money out of town to mail order trade. It is denied that the profiteers pay no attention to the government demand that they fix reasonable prices, as they have responded by sticking up their figures another notch. The people who can't afford to subscribe to the home newspaper, will be cheered by the fact that the patent medicine almanacs for 1920 are now being delivered free. The Bolsheviks who advocate a revolution by force, are terribly indignant if they are assisted to take a free ride down to the police station. Few folks are "grunting" these days, but this perhaps is due to the fact that it s so easy to get rid of money, that everyone is happy. Regardless of the H------ that is being raised all over it's surface, this old earth just keeps right on serenely chasing itself every 24 hours. Great encouragement is felt, that as a result of the Clean Teeth Campaign, many homes have been induced to install a fiimily toothbrush. Between the braying of the donkey and the bellering of the elephant, the presidential chimes are producing a fine pusseyfoot jazz. A news agency states that the peak of high prices ha3 been reached. Yea! and many a consumer will be found perched thereon. LIABILITIES. Capital stock paid in........$ Surplus Fund ..............
