time wasted in preliminaries. Poi
sonous epithets were launched as a
barrage and then the fight started.
The battle spread. Soon the moth

NcighSors ran out. Golfers at the
Country club heard the sounds of
battle and ran to the scene. A crowd
gathered. 1t was almost too good a
fight to stop. But to uphold the
pence and dignity of West Rosser

bear to stop the spectacular battle
of the women. But they quit, any

The story the neighbors gathered

of eastern states. as we'll as IA few
scattered middlewcstcrn cities. Mas.
sachusetts is the only state having
daylight saving statute. The new
time will continue until > A. NJ
September 30.
New York and New Jersey are the
principal states IN the eastern time
zone in which, under local ordin.
ances, clocks will be advanced one
hour, while about so scattered cities
and towns in New England, outside
of Massachusetts, will observe day
light saving either by local ordin-
ance or by common consent. Day
light saving throughout Massachu-
setts was assured by the recent ac-
tiOn of the House in refusing to con-
slider further the repeal of the
present statute.
In Connecticut attempts to pre-
vent daylight saving time failed
earlier this month when the state
Senate defeated an anti-daylight
saving bill. which the House previ-
ously had passed. The bill provided
for fine of 500 or ten days i'm
prisonment, or both, for the wilful
display of any but standard time in
public places. Some members of the
Legislature considered that the bill
even applied to wrist watches. Mem
bers from the rutal districts oppos-
ed any change in time.
The Common Council of Hartford
recently voted for daylight saving,
after the failure Of an attemrt in
the legislature to have a refcren-
dun on the question. Hartford, so
far as known, is the only municirali-
ty in the state to take this action.
Last year such cities as New Haven,
Hartford, New London, Norwalk,
Bridgeport, New Britain, Me1iden,
Waterbury and others in the manu-
featuring districts observed daylight
saving by common consent, or by
earlier working hours, without ad-
clocks.

and Newport last year observed day

TREES WORTH
MONEY IN SALE
OF PROPERTY
DIR. WaldrOn of Agricultural
College Emphasizes Rea-
sons for Planting


! If there is no other reason urging
j the planting of trees about the home
: the fact that good trees are worth
, real money and add to the sale price
of home may well be cons dered
! DR.. {. b. Walaron. of the Agricul.
tural College, told the public meet
ing held in the Auditorium last
night.
Enumeratins reasons for sur
, , rounding the home with good trees
Dr.. Waldron first suggested THEN
beauty and their utility, in pro-
tecting the home from sun, etc.
Second, he said. trees make the
home more valuable. He referred
to the sale Of house in Fargo. Just
800 was added to the sale price
of the house because of beautiful
trees planted Is years before, he
said. He quoted New Rockford,
i'll. business man as saying that the
beautiful trees in that city on the
streets, aside from those in the
homes and parks, were worth $3,-
100000 in making property more
saleable and more valuable.
Third, he said that the way to get
children to take more interest in
the home is to make the home more
attractive. If the home is bare and
unattractive, and the whole family
seeks to get away from it after
every meal, a social problem is ars-
ing.
Unfortunately, he said too often
when people want to enjoy them
selves they have to go out of their
own town. Fargo he said, was an
example, for people went to lake
30 miles distant. With 24O acres of
park property recently acquired,
Fargo hopes to correct this condi-
tion, he said.
'1f all the school children of Bis
marck want to nave big picnic
where do they go?' he asked III
wonder if there is any place in the
city for them to go. If they haven't
such a place they are not getting
square deal"
Civic pride is causing beautifca-
tion of several towns in the state,
DR.. Waldron said, adding he knows
of half dozen towns claiming to
be the most beautiful. He referred
to the insistance in some towns that
all people keep their property pre-
sentable. He said he knew of one
instance where the pastor of
church was allowed to remain but
one year in a town, because he neg
lected to keep up the beauty of the
parsonage yard.
DR.. Waldron, with the use of
slides, showed the audience best
methods and places of planting
trees, shrubs and flowers.
He talked to students at the bus.
iness college yesterday afternoon,
and his advice on planting was
sought and given to many indivi-
duals in the city.
DR.. Waldron was introduced by
Judge A. NJ. Christianson, who said
DR.. Waldron was the greatest expert
on plant life in the Northwest.
