BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL
HEADS EAGER TO HELP IN PLANS
COAL CONSERVATION IN Maine

Gov. Baxter late Monday afternoon
received a telegram from Andrew p.
Lane, the governors representative, at
Washington, in which he said that, he
had an appointment with Henry G.
/ Spencer, federal fuel distributor, and
had again seen Secretary Hoover.
Mr.. Lane wired Maine is the first on
/ the job
The response Of Maine men to the
call Of Gov. Baxter in the coal crisis
is characteristic Of Names public
spirit. The busiest heads of the big
gest industrial, commercial and finan-
cial concerns in all Maine are prompt
~ and cheerfully phdging their time
and energy to the cause OF relief
from threatening conditions.
Letters, kilograms and telephone
messac es are pouring into the gov
elnor's office.
! Wen do anything YOU ask, is the
tenor Of the replies TO the governor ;
invitation to serve.
| That is the spirit Of our Maine
men" exclaimed Gov. Baxter as the
responses came in. They cant be
| beat as the saying goes, and we will
come through safely with such men
ready to assist the administration
Gov. Baxter remarked that the
service which is imminent is efficient
! organizat ton in every state to receive,
distribute, pay for and collect for eV-

/ Gov Baxter recommends as first
/ nea sure Of relief on the part of the
public that coal consumption be at
once reduced to the lowest possible
minimum in every home, industry and
institution. Every pound saved now
will be needed before the warm days
of another spring,
Secretary Hoover will control Rll
! coal from the mouth of the mine and
! turn it over in shipments of proven
necessity in each state. He lnstructs
! that preference will be given to hos
pitfalls, railroads and utilities.
! Andrew L. Lane, Gov. Bakers rep
resentative, who made hurried trip

with Secretary Hoover and Chairman
j Backus today. He will reach this city
| Wednesday morning in time for any
conference that may be found neces-

coal dealers of Maine was compiled
by counties today. 1t is interesting to
note that this list numbers 2O1. Ev-

Washington, July 31-(By A. Pr
With the federal emergency coal con-

in official and semi official circles.
Ever since the strike began, some
operators have expressed willingness
to negotiate with John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work

iority in most operators associations
has been unwilling, however, to con-
cede the unions demands for a scmi-
national wage scale, made up by a
joint action Of the employers and en-
ploycs in the four states named, and

THINGS AND OTHER
THINGS.

Without the birds the farmers
! would not be able to make a crop.
The insects would make it impossi
bic for them to raj e anything on
the farm. It has been said if the
birds were all killed that man would
not be able to live for the destruct-
i've insects. That within five years
no vegetation could grow, and man
and animals would starve and cease
to exist in that time.
The birds are the best friends that
man has. Their usefulness is not
limited to The farmer alone but ex-
tends to all the people wherever
they may live. The number of in
sects that birds destroy every year
is wonderful and makes it possible
for the farmers to raise crops. 1t is
even a hard fight as it is, and with
out the help of the birds it would be
a hopeless fight. Not only are birds
useful as insect destroyers but they
bring good cheer with their songs. !
Who is it that does not enjoy the !
sweet song of the mocking bird. the
cat-bird, or the thrush, or the robin
or the wren, or any of them. He
who does not enjoy the song of the
birds is not wholly a man. Nothing
is sweeter than to wake up early in
the morning and listen to the sing
ing of the birds. The English mock
ar often sings his sweetest songs at
1t is against the law to kill these
birds and right it should be. Any
me that would kill any of these
birds should be prosecuted to the
'ull extent of the law. The robin is
| fine singer and besides he gets
most of his living from insects. How
,ften we have seen him in our gar
len and even in our back yard, or
anywhere he can find a juicy worm
or his own dinner or for his young
n the nest. The robin, the wren,
md a few other birds are very fond

of the caterpillar, and we all know
how injurious the caterpillars are to
our apple trees. If we would en-
courage the birds to build in the
apple trees and other trees on our
farms in the field or near the house
and prevent their destruction by
enemies, 1t would not be but few
years until our bird friends would
be in greater numbers. We should
see that the cats, snakes, hawks and
other enemies of the birds are kept
from destroying them. Every farm
er and even city and town dweller
should build houses for these songs
ters. Give them a place to raise their
young. They will soon learn that
you are their friend, and it will not
be but a few years when you will
have a great flock of birds around
you.
There is very erroneous idea
among some people that quails take
up corn. This is not true, and edefy
any one to prove it. The quail is
one of the best friends the farmer
has. He is about the only bird that
we know of that will eat the potato
bug. He more than pays for him.
self by this one act and should be
encouraged to live on the farm and
raise his young there. Do not kill
them or allow them to be killed.
We know of farmers in the county
who will not allow a quail killed on
their farm How fine it would be if
all our farmers were this way.
Encourage the birds to raise their
young on the farm and near the
house, and listen to their song, and
,hey will cure you of that grouchy
disposition.
