The Proposed Forty. Eight Hour Law

Mothers and Daughters of Maine:
! Come out from the wilderness of
misrepresentation and take your
| stand firmly for progress, knowing
that you are backed by a Divine pur-
| pose and that you are the real eman-
Cipators and enlightenerS of the hu-
man race.
Men, today, who decry thir own
party games in political machina ton.
! are standing on falsely raised plat
form. SO that plum picking" may be
! made easier for them, and shouting
to the wayfarer. beneath them in
eminence, that Maine will become a
memory only, tiguratively speaking,
should the voters go to the polls on
Oct. Is and vote Yes" on the propos-
ed forty eight hour law. Greed does
not work favora bly, for the destiny of
the people in this beautiful country;
and the advancement Of policies
tending to new day is opposed in
the superlative degree.
But of vision must be able to read
between the lines, bringing the
Truth to the front, from facts.
Many writer's, as we'll as orators,
are deeply concerned about the farm
er at this time. One, in his argu-
ment, unfavorably presents the as
pect of the fields of uncut hay
throughout Maine, then grovels in
the vortex of error for a reason for
this condition, enormously stating,
short hours and high wages" But
it purely was a case of shortage OF
help and teams and machinery.
AS no farmer produces a yearly
ration. in its entirety, to feed one
hen, and as one writer advances the
idea that it necesSitates the purchase
of grain from the Western farmer to
feed six hundred hens TO avera ge
eSgs enough to pay a bricklayer for
eight hours work. it would seem to be
wisdom on the part of poultry rails
ers, of the State, to divert their en-
orgies in the direction of bricklaying
and apply to Warden Eaton for
position.
There are people on farms forced
to use evaporated milk and substi-
tutes for butter-a condition brought
about by shortage of help and not
shorter hours of work The voice
and pen should be used to bring la
borers and cultivators of land within
the borders of Maine and not used to
defeat what is destined to become a
national eight-hour law to protect
the lives of little children.
1t is not reasonable to expect that
women should turn backward in the
freedom of their vote and cast a bal
lot lcnStheninG the working hours of
their children and childrens sons and
daughters, because of the fact that
the carly settlers worked from sun to
sun, harvesting hay With a hand
Scyth2.
California, enriched in population
by some OF our best New England
men and women adopted the forty
eiEht hour law, standing as a leading
state in progress. Shall Maine move
forward? Yes" Oct. Is. 1923.

Friends of the horse are insisting
that he shall come back. at least part
way. Their number is by no means
confined to those who care for the
horse as a medium for sport. The U.
S. Department of Agriculture an
nounces that there has been a third
more horses and mules sold in this
country the past eight months than
was sold for a like period last year,
notwithstanding the number for that
period was larger by 1873 per cent
than for the like period in 1921.
Many Of these so to the woods but
the farms and cities take most of
them and there is said to be a de-
mand beyond the supply for good
heavy Cat suitable for city hauling.

at the castle of the Giant Merry
Laugh.
Well. sir and well, Ma'am. When
the bunny boy hoped into the din

full turkey that ever graced table.
Why, it weighed umpty 'leven pounds
and was stuffed with a bushel OF
chestnuts.

Mr.. Merry Laugh, for we don't
have birthdays every day although
we grow older every day just the
