BIG PLANT ASKS
FOR DAYLIGHT

Virtually every employe of
the Moorhead Knitting Company
to-day signed a petition calling
on City Council to preserve
daylight saving next summer.
There are 232 names attached
to the petition. r. w. Moorhead,
president of the company. leads
off the list. He is followed by
other officers of the company and
the department heads.
The petition is of particular
value. as it shows how working
women view the efforts of Com
gress TO rob them of the hour of
sunshine which they have beer
enjoying for two years. IT shows
that every man and woman who
adds TO the citys prosperity by

desirous of continuing the day
