DAYLIGHT SAVING The. railways put the clocks on an hour on Sunday and are now running on what is known as daylight saving time Government of Caneda decided last week to ;retain. the old time. The result is a jumble. Many of the cities and towns favor the. earlier time and have already adopted it. The rural section,$ favor the later taste, It is to be 'roped that an agreement can be a�eached in some wee so that the whole country may have the same "ane ao matter what et is. The result in Exeter is that we are continually Miss- ing the mails, getting to 'the post of- fice too late, and missing the trains. Miss Iia. Mitchell of the Aioncl neeld; College.
