RESULTS OF THE HOSPITAL CAMPAIGN IN ALTAMONT
At the closing dinner of the Albany Hospital Campaign held at Odd Fellows Hall April 3rd, it was discovered that the sum of $700,000, which had been the goal of the campaign, had been more than oversubscribed. Thus ended one of the greatest welfare drives ever staged in Albany. The people of Altamont have reason to feel very much pleased at the result obtained locally.

MOVIES ON HEALTH SUBJECTS SHOWN HERE
A new four-reel motion picture entitled “Clean Herds and Hearts” is being used by the Farm Bureau to crystalize public opinion into action looking toward the beginning of eradication of bovine tuberculosis in Albany county under the accredited herd plan.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS IS EFFECTIVE APRIL 27
Thirty-six cities in the state with a total population of 7,133,449, or about seven-tenths of the state’s population, on Sunday, April 27, will turn ahead their clocks one hour. Rural communities along the highways that connect these cities will not be unanimous in their adoption of the daylight saving schedule, with the result that motorists will have to keep their watches in their hands to keep up with the changing of time.

In this section of the state, all cities but Schenectady will have daylight saving time.

FILING OBJECTIONS

Presidential booms are plenty,

I have counted more than twenty.

May I not in this connection

File here and now my objection?
 

I was wont to root for Teddy,

Chip on shoulder, ever ready,

But with years I’ve grown more steady.
 

Now-a-days I do not glory

Much in Bull Moose oratory;

Candidates have grown linguistic;

One pours speeches characteristic

Of a mountain in eruption

Belching fire, gas, mud, corruption.

Damning Bok and Eke the Asian,

Bellowing like the bull of Bashan,

Cracking all our tubes eustachian.
 

Indirectly I’m deploring

Big Hi Johnson the hell-roaring,

Like Vesuvius mud-pouring

Or Stromboli, snorting, snoring.
