DAYLIGHT SAVING SAVED BY WILSON. President Vetoes the Repeal Mea sure—Admits That Measure Causes Trouble to the Farms*; Washington, August 15. —Presi- dent today vetoed the biil repeal ing the daylight saving law. Declaring the pressing need of the country was for production by industry, the president said he would be obliged to “balance one set of disadvantages against an other and decide which was the more serious for the country. ’' Trouble for Farmer. The president said he returned the bill without his approval with “the utmost reluctance” because he realized “the very considerable and in some respects, very serious inconveniences to which the day light saving law subjects the far mers of the country.” The president’s message was sent to Speaker Grillett, but when an effort was made to present it to the house Representative Blanton, democrat, Texas, made a point of no quorum and the house adjourn ed without the message being read This was the second time the president had vetoed repeal of the law by which the clocks are set forward an hour on the last Sun day in March and. turned ba*‘k an hour the last Sunday in October. The first veto was several weeks ago, the repeal being attached as a rider to the annual agricultural appropriation bill. White house officials and. mem bers of congress could not recall today a previous instance of a pre sident having twice vetoed the same bill. Efforts to pass the agri cultural measure over the veto failed in the house and then the separate house repeal bill then pending was passed by the senate. Leaders in congress doubt that the two-thirds vote necessary to pass the repeal measure over the presi dent’s heard can he obtained. The President's Message. The president’s message vetoing the bill follows: “To the House of Representatives. “1 return this bill, H. R. 3854, < An act for the repeal of the day light saving law, ’ without my sig nature, but do so with the utmost reluctance. L realize the very con siderable and, in some respects, very serious inconveniences to which the daylight saving law sub jects the farmers of the country, to whom we owe the greatest con sideration and who have distin guished themselves during these recent years of war and want by patriotic endeavors worthy of all praise. But I have been obliged to balance one set of disadvantages against another and to venture a judgement as to w'hich were the more serious for the country. The immediate and pressing need of the country is production, increas ed and increasing production, in all lines of industry. The disorgan ization and dislocation caused by the war have told nowhere so hfeavily as at the industrial centers —in manufacture and in the many industries to which the country and Piie whole world must Look to supply needs which cannot he ig nored or postponed. It is to these that the daylight saving law is of most service. It ministers to econ omy and to efficiency. And the in terest of the farmer is not in all respects separated Iron these in terests. lie needs what the facto ries produce along with the rest of the world, lie is profited by the prosperity which their success brings about. Ilis own life and me thods are more easily adjusted, L venture to think, than those oi the manufacturer and the merchant. “These are the considerations which have led me to withhold my signature from this repeal. I hope that they are considerations which will appeal to the thoughtful judg ment of the house and in the long run t<- the thoughtful judgment of the fa* lers of th country, who hiiV* ,*>.▼' , 4u'Wii *■ adaurabl® pabil spirit. '* ANOTHER AMERICAN HERO BACK HOME; SINGLEHAND ED HE TOOK 256 GERMANS. Naturalized Greek Wounded and a Prisoner, Neatly Led Enemy Battalion Into a Trap. Hercules Korgis. who i% a little more than five feet in height and weighs 112 pounds, the private from Lynn, Mass., whose score stands “256 Germans captured single-handed,” is back from the w r ar. Hercules, a Greek by birthand who has been an American only about six years, comes bacn to his adopted country wearing the French croix de guerre and the French medal of honor. His feat, which deserves a place alongside the achievements of Sergt. York, was accomplished near Soissons. Hercules, a tried and trusted veteran of much hard fighting, was put on an outpost with four other men. The Germans jumped in, and jumped into a real scrap. After they had killed three of the four men, they took Hercules, wounded in the neck and leg, pri- soner. After being taken prisoner, Kor gis found a German who could talk Greek. Hercules immediately worked on and through him. It appeared that here was a drafted American, who loathed America, who hated the Amerieanarmy so much that he wanted to help strike a blow at it. Hercules told the German offi cers he would lead them to a point in the American lines that was as weak as an old woman after a six day hunger strike. Korgis then led ’em in. He con voyed the German officers and men to a place, where they had Ameri can infantry in front of them, American infantry behind them, machine guns onTwo sides and ar tillery reasonably close. Then, lie explained the situation to the Germans, asking them to consider possible results if they killed him. The Germans decided to surrender—the whole 256 of them—to one lone American pri vate. He brought them all in as prisoners. BETHABEA The revival at this place came to a close last Friday night. We bad a great meeting, several addi tions were made to the church. Our pastor, Rev. J. W.
