SPEECH OF HON. THOMAS
M. BELL, OF GEORGIA
In The House of Representatives,
Wednesday, June 18, 1919.
Mr. BELL. Mr. Speaker. I take
pleasure in registering my approv
al of the immediate repeal of the
so-called daylight-saving act. This
• act is supposed to have been a
"war measure,” and, if so, now
that the war is over, it evidently
lias served its purpose. If any of
the people of this great country
have been benefited by this law,
they are the people living in the
great cities; and I am willing to
grant this as being true; yet, at
the same time, it has been a great
inconvenience to the millions of
farming people, upon whom we all
depend.
It. is urged, and it is true, that
we now need more producers if
the high cost of living is to be re
duced, and we should make the
hours of labor as pleasant, con
venient, and attractive as possible
for the great mass of people who
are now relied upon for so much.
I am, therefore, ready to vote for
the repeal in toto of this law. 1 am
sure that a large majority if not
the whole people of my district de
sire its repeal.
It is true that no law of this
•character could be enacted that
would meet the convenience of
every one, but if we are called
upon to legislate at all in this way
it is our duty to consider the con
venience of those who are most
needed in bringing back to this
country normal times, so that we
may as much as possible be reliev
ed of many annoyances whicVTfol
low the wake of war.
Our President, Commander in
Chief of our forces engaged in the
European war. favored this day
light-saving law during trie war
activities, feeling and believing
that coal, food and fuel would
thereby be saved and that “war
‘gardens” would be made which
otherwise would not be, but the
President no doubt now realizes,
as we do, that there is no longer
any reason for the continuance of
this measure.
* The debate upon the floor today
for and against the repeal of this
law calls to my mind a colloquy
that occurred in my district be
tween two negroes who felt they
were equal to any emergency as
representatives of their race. One
said, in the discussion of the great
est men, living or dead, that Jos
hua was the greatest man who
ever lived. The other, in response
to this statement, asked: “Why
do you say that Joshua was the
greatest man who ever lived,” He
said, “Cause Joshua stopped the
. sun for one hour so he could fight
a battle.” The other said, “ 1 agree
that Joshua did stop the sun for
| one hour so that be might have
daytime in order to fight a battle
and that Joshua was a very great
man, but, in my bumble judge
ment, he was not the man
who ever lived, but that Woodrow
Wilson is the greatest man living
or dead.” The first speaker said,
"“Why do you say that Woodrow
Wilson is the greatest man?”
“Cause Woodrow Wilson ran the
sun up one hour, licked the devil
out of the Germans, and there’s
where he skint Joshua.”
Mr. Chairman, we did lick the
Germans, and now that the war is
over, let us get back to the normal
time and put the sun back where
Joshua left it. Let us not only get
back to normal times so far as
daylight saving is concerned, but
we should employ every method
by which we may reduce the high
cost of living, reduce the taxes as
much as possible which have been
■ imposed upon the people, allow
commensurate with that which he
the farmer a price for his products
has to buy encourage by whole

who have and wilfreturn from the
battle fifields of Europe to go back
to their homes satisfied with the
great work they have accomplish

FEEDING COTTONSEED MEAL
WILL NOT CAUSE WHEY TO
FORM IN MILK.
A reader wants to know if feed
ing cottonseed meal to her eow
will cause whey to form and sepa
rate from the clabber.
No, the feeding of cottonseed
meal will produce no such effect.
The handling of the milk so as to
favor the proper development of
the souring bacteria will prevent
such troubles. Extreme care in
handling and keeping the milk at
the proper temperature will solve
the difficulty, and it is not neces
sary to stop feeding cottonseed
meal to do so.
In fact, when the cows are on
green pasture and the weather is
warm, the feeding of a moderate
amount of cottonseed meal has a
distinct advantage. When butter
is made in warm weather it will be
firmer and have a better texture if
cottonseed meal is fed than when
it is not.
Of course too much cottonseed
meal can lie fed, as may be said of
almost any other rich concentrate,
but when a cow is on grass from
two to four, or even five pounds of
cottonseed meal, according to the
amount of milk the cow produces,
may be fed to advantage, without
injurious results, either to the cow
or the product.— Progressive Far

Jay Gould’s
Will
George J. Gould was recently removed as Executor and Trustee of the estate of bis
father, the late Jay Gould who was a Railroad Magnate and left millions to bis family.
Why was he removed?
First, lie was found guilty and acknowledged that he accepted without tlie knowl
edge of the other heirs at law, a commission of $620,401.71 on the sale of 210,082 shares
of stock in the Western Union Telegraph Company.
Second. He failed to comply with the terms of his father’s Will which specifically
stated that he should divide the estate in six seperate Trusts.
Third. He mingled the Trusts funds with his own funds and used said *fust funds
as if they were his own without authority, of course.
He was also accused by his brothers and sisters of mismanaging said estate and has
lost $25,000,000,00 for said estate.
The late Jay Gould showed fine judgmen t in making all of the money he accumulated,
but lie used bad judgment in selecting one of his sons to look after his accumulations. It
he had made a strong National Bank with a TrusUtiepartmcnt to look after his estate un
der tin* supervision of the i iiitcd States (Jovemment, his W ill would have been executed
according to the terms thereof.
