Editorial Comment
Trying Out His reform"
(Biddeford JournaD

Only last summer Mr.. Hays wished
it understood that he would reform
the movies-Boston Herald.
But his reformation was to be
largely along the lipe of what the
people wanted or demanded. He never
assumed to say what the people
could and must have. His only way
of determining the direction of the
air currents of public opinion is to let
loose a few trial balloons and note
their course. His Fatty Arbuckle gas
bag was wrecked almost before it
started.

The Grange Acts

annual session to take a pronounced
stand against such change.

those who to any degree depend on
agricultural pursuits for their live
lihood.
1t is quite likely that the vote at
Portland city election to resort to
daylight saving the coming summer
forced the issue at the State Grange.
The lineup is clear: country versus
city. Portland's action; popular
vote to be taken in Bath and the
grange vote make another time
muddle likely, in 1923.

Maine GOSSIP
Snow Poem

Oh the snow, the snow, the beautiful
snow,
We sec it about wherever we go.
In the fields, in the streets, in our
yards it is found,
Sitting and drifting and blowing
around.
Would we walk to car. we must
wade through a mess;
Six inches, a foot-whatS the odds
more or less?
To our back yard we'd go we must go
to our knees.
And struggle about till we wheeze and
we Snecze.
And then when the wash woman'd
hang out the clothes,
We must tunnel for her. or she'd quit
goodness knows.
So it goes all the months that the
snow it is here.
The trav'ling is awful. the landscape
is drear.
And wcll be glad enough when the
springtime is here.
And the whole blooming mess doth at
last disappear.

IT have signed Keifer," explained
President Griffith, "for a trial. He
phowed me his unconditional release
from the Worcester Club. though,
before / would have anything to do
with him. He was a free agent and
therefore eligible to sign with my
club"
Walsh admits he liked Keifer in
1920. He says the newest Griff
hurler then bore the earmarks of
conner. Particularly did he boast Of
q fine fast ball, while his curve was
satisfactory.
"Of course" says Walsh" don't
know how he can pitch now. A
years Iay-off may do him no good
but I think Griff acted wisely in
taking a look at him. Griff may
have landed a prize, II Keifer can
show the stuff he did for Worcester
two years ago"
The new pitcher is about the size
Of Gleason, ne weighs in the
neighborhood of IT'S pounds and is
well built about the shoulders. In
his first drill against the batters he
seemed to develop a good fast ball
without too much effort. and man
ager Milan is pleased to have him
join the squad. Keifer will train
with the squad and should begin
throwing hooks in week or so.
Then 1t will be possible to get a bet
ter line on him.
