Mil matter Hnt nam
"The aathfitMse at WsMpw
took it upon Itusanlves to Mm
the tine, between Central and
Mountain time, east from Texline
to Chiklreee laet January. This
put* thin ert ion of Tezaa about
twenty minute* behind sun time
and ie not a fair division of the
day for our people and the Herat J
make* the suggestion that F. R.
Jiwieon, Secretary Manager of
the Panhandle Plaint Chamber of
Commerce take this matter up
with Congressman Marvin Jones
and prevail upon the proper auth
on ties at Washington to put Texas
back in Central time, beginning
with the first of the year. Run-
ning behind time is objectionable
to s people who are in the habit
of working in the lead."
The Brand heartily favors *
change back to the old Central
time, if there is any wivof getting
H through Congress. The present
time in certainly s nuisance. A
man cannot conduct hi* busmen*
and get home in the afternoon in
time to feed hid chickens before it
is as dark as the bottom of a coal
mine, at twelve o'clock at night,
during a total eclipse of the moon.
We hope our energetic Congress-
man will take note of the general
dissatisfaction and see what he can
do about this.

MOUNTAIN TIME
If the exchanges that come to
The Brand 's desk are to be taken
as indicative of public sentiment
throughout the Panhandle, there
is nothing that causes anymore
dissatisfaction thsn the action of
the railroad administration in
moving the clock back an hour
from Central Time to Mountain
Time, unless it is the failure of
this same railroad administration
to provide cars for moving the
wheat crop.
According to The Higgins News,
the people of that town took ac-
tion this way:
"The merchants in the city have
agreed to make a change in the
time as it now stands, and go on
the old system of a month ago.
On Sunday night they propose to j
aet all business clocks one hour
ahead, and work on Central time
rather than on Mountain time as isi
being done at present.
"We believe that this is a good,;
sensible move on the part of the!
business men of the city. While !
some people of the city seem to be-
lieve that this method will be con-
fusing, the writer very well re-
members that in some cities of the
east, this custom was common, and
no one was badly hurt, or very
much inconvenienced. It will be
o in our case. In a very short
time everyone will instinctively
know that railroad time is one
hour slower than city time aud
they will act accordingly. And
then we will enjoy one hour more
of daylight than we have; at pres-
ent.
"The city school will adopt the
new time also. Patrons of the
school should take notice aud act
accordingly."
The Miama Chief says: "Put-
ting the strip of Panhandle coun-
try in Monutain time, affects abso-
lutely no one in the United States
but the people living in that strip.
We have never heard a man. wom-
an or child say other than they
would prefer to be back in the
Central time. We would like to
know why the change."
The Hall County Herald at
Memphis is also thoroughly dis-
gusted with the present order of
things, and suggests a radical
change:
"Mountain time is a nuisance
and very unsatisfactory to our
people. If the railways are turned
back to the owners we hope to set-
Texas rebel against the splitting
of a state into two time belts.
Rather than this it would he best
to make a Texas Standard time.
Say make it on a basis of sun time.
Home persons never learn the
I language of approval: they know
only the ! nguage of disapproval
and criticism.
o
All the unrest in the world
I would be quieted instantly if
: everybody would go to work.
!Simple, im't itf
O
There is .ime consolation in the
thought thai the strikers are soft
coal miners. If they were hard,
it might be more difficult.
O
A young father has petitioned
the United States Senate to name
his new baby. What if the Senate
should attach a reservation to the
youngster?
O
The preacher ties the knot, the
judge unties it, and between the
two it's one continuous merry-go-
round performance from one act
to the other.
-O
! Of course, everybody longs for
| peace and tranquility in the U. S.

wants the other fellow to be flat-
i tened out by the steamroller of
individual prosperity.

fortune is in greater danger thau

only be deprived of his life.

Confronted with the certainty

The news dispatches furnish a
study in values. A Nebraska man
sells his Poland China hog for $30

death of her husband.
O
No person ever really profits
from s gift unless he makes an ef-
fort to deserve it. To secept and
forget is but to forge snother link
in the fetters which chain you to
a future without hope and without
reward.
O
Before attempting to overcome
an obstacle it is best to csrefully
guage its height. Many of the
wrecks of life are the direct re-
sult of a failure to give reasonable
consideration to obstructions
which seem slight but are in real-
ity momentous in their possibili-
ties for ultimate disaster.

Ten Days After $ ^ $
Christmas Your
Gift May Be
Forgotten
eu<|
The thought that you have put into your Christmas giv-
ing means more than the intrinsic value of the gifts. A gift
that fills a want, no matter how small or large its cost, meets
instant enthusiastic appreciation. The joy of giving is in-
tensified when you know that you have given right.
A gift certain to please a inan or young man is apparel.
Nothing else that you can give him will be so constant a re-
minder of your thoughtfulness. In clothes, your gift
may be of princely magnificence or sublimely simple, yet is
sure to strike the chord that brings the true and sincere
response announcing that you have given wisely.
Give something that will not be forgotten ten days after
Christmas. Give something whose each recurring use will
keep alive the spirit generated at Christmas.
We have made the givin.' < f clothes for Christmas a
study. I e in aid in guiding you "ight with happy results.
