Daylight Saving.

Daylight-saving originated in Germany
as war measure. 1t was later adopted
IN this country by Congressional action.
tried and found wanting. Its effects were
so injurious to farmers that the food SUD-
ply OF the country was curtailed many
times the value of the products grown in
the war gardens.
The extra hour was spent by the
younger workers, at least, in devisine
short methods of wasting the abnormal
wages they were receiving. After the
daylight law was repealed by Congress, a
few city people in New England, headed
by the Boston Chamber of Commerce,
have made determined effort to inflict
the nefarious scheme upon the people of
the eastern States. Outside of profess
slonal and business men and the idle rich,
who wish longer afternoons for motoring
and golf playing, daylight saving benefits
no one in this latitude.
1t is of vast damage to the farmers and
a menace to the health of children, who
are forced to arise at an unseemly hour
to catch the school team. The whirI and
rush of American life will all too soon
wreck their nervous systems, if they be
spared the loss of childhood sleep, which
is imposed by daylight saving. l fail to
see any benefits that daylight saving
confers upon working people. A man
who has labored hard for nine hours will
lind ample time after o'clock p. m. to
do all the garden work he needs to do, or
feels like doing. If business houses and
manufacturing plants wish to begin the
days work at six o'clock a. m. it is their
privilege to do so. But when they seek
10 force every one else to begin at the
same time by setting the clock ahead they
are proceeding contrary to the law of the
land and the rights of American citizens
Leave the clock alone!

Proclamation by the Governor
ARBOR DAY

Arbor Day has a special significance
for the State of Maine. Over fifteen
million acres of all the land in the State
out of the total of nineteen million acres
are covered with trees. These vast areas
once were the property of our people.
This great inheritance was squandered
by our forefathers End Maine today owns
but few thousand acres Of forest from
which most of the timber has been sold.
The people of Maine, its men. women
and children, should take an interest in
trees, and should study and plant them.
Trees are blessings, beautiful to look
upon and useful to man, to birds and to
beasts. May the day come when for both
sentimental and practical reasons every
city, town and village shall line its streets
with shade trees, shall buy land for re-
forestation and shall own public wood
lots.
Our State of Maine once again should
begin to acquire land for reforestation
that future generations may be supplied
with timber, and that Maine may con-
tinue to be known the world over as the
Pine Tree State.
Now therefore, l., Percival P. Baxter,
Governor of Maine, do hereby proclaim
Saturday, May 18th, Arbor Day
in the State of Maine,
and urge our citizens to observe the day
both at home and in the schools with fit
ting exercises. The planting of tree is
!, public service, for it benefits not only
those who plant it but also those who
pass it by.
Given at the Office of the Governor
at Augusta, and sealed with tht
Great Seal of the State of Maine

Nine Hundred Twenty one, and o
