Massachusetts, and Maine


One argument advanced in favor
of the proposed 4S-hour law for wo-
men and children is that this law is
in vogue in Massachusetts but what
might be satisfactory for Massachu-
sets might not, and we think would
not. be satisfactory to Maine. Three
basic industries in this state are cot
ton textiles. wooden textiles and
boots and shoes and in these in
dustries Maine is in difficult COM
petition with Massachusetts from the
facts that it is at a greater distance
from the markets and from sources
of supply. 1t is a fair argument
that should the 4S-hour for women
and children be adopted in this state,
manufacturers seeking a location in
the future. would find the Massa
chussets field far more attractive
than that in Maine. 1t is also prob
able that many manufacturers
would conclude to move to Massa
chusetts in order to lessen their
transportation charges.
Nearly half the women working in
these industries are engaged in piece
work and this must be taken into
consideration when the subject of q
shortened week of labor is discussed.
It Is entirely obvious that if the
hours of labor are shortened the
production Of these women will be
iessened and with less production
comes less wages. We doubt great
" If these women are anxious for
tho adoption of law that would de-
crease their wages.

Our Lewiston contemporaries esti-
mate of eight bushels of apples to a
barrel of cider leans heavily toward
the side of mercy. Here in western
Maine we believe the farmers reckon
about twelve or fifteen barrels of
average cider apples to a barrel of
cider, but perhaps Androscoggin
county apples are juicier than apples
raised in Yory county. And then the
Androscoggin county cider makers
may stretch their output by using
more water than is allowed by the
conscientious cider makers of old
York. OF course. there's a big diff
ference in apples. While a barrel of
cider might be obtained from eight
bushels of selected Baldwins, partic-
ularly if the cider mill were located
near we'll or brook, the filling of
a thirty-two gallon barrel would
call for at least twenty five bushels
OF Ben Davis apples. even if the
mill had a never-failing supply of
water and 1t rained all the time dur
Ing the process of manufacture.

Smaller Duties of
President Done
BY His Assistants

| Washington. Oct. Shy A. P)-
Modern presidents may have a large
! amount of routine work devolvine
upon them. but there are some de-
tails attended to regularly by their
early predecessors, that are hardly
considered important enough now
adays to refer to the White House.
| Among these, according to Charles
Kohen, Washington philatelist and
document collector. was the trifling
detail of signing ships clearance pa
pers. Among a number of ancient
documents Mr.. Kohen recently
picked up were two such clearances
for small vessels, one signed &c.
| Washington" the other bearing the
| large scrawly signature of John
| Adams.
The paper signed by Washington
in September 1894, attested to the
fact that the S2-ton schooner Eliza
OF New York was owned by citizens
of the new nation and was duly al
| lowed to set sail for the West Indies
with cargo of -four, hoops, onions,
slaves, shingles and scantlings. The
form was made out in English,
French and Dutch.
The document signed by President
Adams bore also as a countersign
the signature of Timothy Pickering.
secretary of state; was dated August,
1898; showed the proper nationality
of the small sloop "Endeavour," and
gave leave to depart from Portland,
Maine to Demerarra, with cargo of
boards. oars. butter, fish, flour, tar,
pitch and beef.
The most interesting section of
these clearance papers was an attest
at the bottom of the sheet praying
that Most Serene, Serene, Most,
Puisant, High. Illustrious, Noble
Honorable. Venerable, Wise and Pru-
dent. Lords. Emperors, Kings, Re
publics, Princes, Dukes, Earls, Bar
ons, Schepens, Judges, Councillors"
and long list of other officers "of all
the good cities and places who shall
see these presents or hear them read"
to recognize the American registry,
Mr. kohen has also a number of
envelopes showing the difference in
postal rates and speed of service
since the early days of the post
office. One contained a letter signed
by James Madison as secretary of
state, in 1904. to James Sheafe of
Portsmouth, y. H. and bore a stamp
showing the fee for the trip to have
been ten cents. Another carried a
polar expedition, addressed to Presi-
dent Harding, which was sent by air.
plane mail to Nome, Alaska, and
thence across the continent to Wash
ington for II cents, including regis
tration fee.
Another interesting document in this
collection is one relating to the his
tory of the famous Lord Fairfax. who
was granted large estates in Virginia
by the King of England during early
colonial history.Lord Thomas prayed
the sheriff of Londoun County, which
adjoined his estates, to take into
custody Ann Seward who was
charged with trespassing upon the
Fairfax estate in 1868. According to
the yellowed. torn manuscript, the
said Ann had wrought damages es-
timated at $50 pounds, for which the
said Lord Thomas required payment.

voCiferously. why do Augusta
home owners burn the leaves in the
fall? What is the sense of wasting

sense of filling this wonderful, brac-
ing cool air with thick. cough pro-
ducing smoke-Smoke that enters in

Why don't they leave the beautiful

If leaves must be burned, why not
wait until the spring time, when the
tender shoots of grass are pushing
through the sod and welcome the
lifting of what remains of their coat
of leaves?" SO here is the D. RS

its worth and is much different than
