While the farmers seem to be IMAM
imous in their opposition to any day
light saving move. there is undoubtedly
desire in the cities and many of the
larger towns for some daylight saving
arrangement, and in many of them an
ordinance has been passed which makes
such a law effective within certain
limits. Inevitably some confusion will
arise from conflicting timepieces, but
after season s trial perhaps some bet
ter plan may be thought out for the
satisfaction of all concerned

The proposition of the state forester
to install wireless telephone stations as
measure to prevent disastrous forest
fires seems to be practical idea. The
connecting of lookout stations by wire
is often difficult and fire itself may
destroy communication by reason of
falling branches and trees when it is
most needed. Any move which will
help save the forests from such des-
truction is a progressive one.
