The 8 -Hour Day

will, of course, be .exempted classes.
The legislation will, not apply to Cab-
inet Ministers, newspapermen, farm-
ers, lutnbcrtnen, fishermen and other
primary producers. As one Cabinet
xrfir ister put it: "The cows have to be
milked."
An. Early Spring? '
1Vil1 the weather be mildor will
we have cold weather for another six
weeks? On Candlemas Day, last Sat-
urday, the groundhog failed to s'ee his
shadow and according to acient story
we should have an early spring, From
Bhtepoint, N.Y., comes the news that
the oysters are fat and this paeans
at least six more weeks of winter. One
of these predictions must be right, so
take your choice, Here's hoping that
we do not have the 48 below• zero
