look inside. We don't need to be
afraid Of them" The others came

Mr.. Mink gave little heed to the

I'll stay right here near the door, and
you go up to the perch and bring me

CLAIM MADE

So serious is the farm situation in Connecticut considered to be by the state board of agriculture that a tele- gram sent yesterday to Gov. Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts by order of the board laid stress on the blow that daylight saving will deliver to
 Connecticut agricultural districts if it becomes effective in the Bay State.
 Secretary Leonard H. Healey, who was instructed Wednesday to send the
 telegram, pointed out that if the day.
 light saving bill is signed in Massa-
 chusetts, Connecticut will practically
 be forced to adopt by reason of the
 intention of the New Haven road to
 make it's schedules conform to the time standards of Massac achusetts and Rhode Island. The text of the teIe-
 gram follows:
 "At a largely attended meeting of
 the Connecticut State Board of Agri- culture I was directed to wire you stating that our members by vote Unanimously hope that you may see your way clear to veto the day. light saving bill now before you for action. We are doing this because

 the daylight saving became a law in your state, therefore the signing of

ENACT SPECIAL, LEGISLATION
 FOR CHILDREN

Hartford, April 9-An importan. announcement, made at the Capitol here today by Professor Henry P. F'airchild, executive secretary of the State Child Welfare Commission, was to the effect that the representatives and senators elected this fall to re- present their various towns and dis tricts in the General Assembly in 1921 will be presented with facts and fig ures showing the conditions existing among unfortunate children of Con- necticut. The legislators will be ask ed by the commission to enact legis- Iation that will be for the benefit of children born out of wedlock, and to erase from the statute books the words 'illegitimate'' and 'Sbastard.'
 As result of a special investiga ton conducted by the commission, it has been found that while there is 1egis lation for the neglected, dependent, and defective child, there is none for the child born out of wedlock. There are hundreds of such children in this state at the present time, and Pro- lessor F'airchild with his assistant, Dr. Herbert M. Diamond, have care fully studied the subject insofar as it has to do with Connecticut. Prorni- nent legislators throughout the state have been interviewed on the mat ter and have declared that the facts as found by the Child Welfare Com mission should be brought before the General Assembl As pointed out by the commission, action cannot be commenced against the putative father of a child in Connecticut after three years after the birth of the child. 'tIt would be well to include
 the provisions of the Illinois and Minnesota statutes, that the time the father is out of the state shall not be counted as part of this tirne,'' said Professor Fairchild yesterday. 'tSuch provision gives the mother and the | child a claim against the absconding | father at any time upon his appear ance in the State.''

the past several months a student
nurse at Milwaukee county hospital;

for the Green Bay & Western rail-
road at Arnott, four brothers and
married sister who lives at Wausau.
Rev. James Blake, pastor of the
