HOW TINE is LOST
BY SAVING 1T
(Arizona Republican,

Time is PRECIOUS, but unWise
methods are sometimes employed
in trying to save it, with the result
of a greater loss of it. The driver
of a car on Saturday night, in
his great desire to save time eff
.fected a deplorable loss of it, not
only for himself but for many
others
His idea of saving time was to
travel faster than a car in front
of him was moving. At what rate
of speed that car was progressing

The car, but for that unfortu-

would have reached Phoenix within
half an hour. 1t was many hours
before it was removed from the
scene of the tragedy which occup-
led the time of many persons for
a considerable period.

Jews Now Celebrating
Feast of the Passover

The celebration of the Jewish feast
of the Passover began at shutdown
Monday evening and will continue for
period of seven days according to
Biblical ordinances concerning the
feast. although those who, cherish
customs that originated after Bible
times will keep the feast for eight
days. The ceremonials are such as
are calculated to bring home the his =
torical event which the feast COM
memorates.. namely the new born
freedom vouchsafed to Israel after
the long peviod of oppression endured
under Egyptian tyranny.
Services are held at the Reform
synagoSues on the first and seventh
days of the feast while at the Ortho-
dox synagogues. the second and
eighth days are also observed. In
addition a charming and effective
feature in the celebrate of the
feast is the special Seder service
around the festive family board on
the first evening of the feast to which
the Orthodox add a second evening.
AT this family service special ritual
known as the "Haggadah" is read.
This ritual contains the story of the
redemption from servitude. certain
reflections inspired by the memories
of old. and certain psalms. This is
followed by the festal meal, after
which Grace is recited The service
concludes with reading of additional
psalms. the recitation of prayers and
the singing of time honored hymns.
Local Jews who attend services
during the feast will be obliged to go
either to Gardiner or Portland, as
Augusta has no synagogue.

land continue to report relatively
small volume of new business, con-
sidering the prevailing season. March
Is usually the month Of largest pro-
duction Of shoes in the spring and
although there has been a sharp rise
in output since December, production
has been considerably less than In
the first quarter of any of the three
preceding years. In fact, shoe pro-
duction the country over is relative
ly low.
THE cotton textile industry is an
other major industry with current
orders and output at low level. The
consumption of raw material by New
England mills during both January
and February. was less than year
ago.
1.-THE, wooden industry reports rela-
lively the lowest rate of production
of any OF the three leading industries.
The recession in activity is not con-
fined in this case to this district, but
is widespread. One favorable factor
in the wooden industry is that daily
average consumption of raw mater
ial by the mill increased in February
as compared with January, whereas
usually there is a decline.
Prospective activity in the build
ing industry of New England is not
as favorable as it was few months
ago. due to sharp decline in the
volume of contracts awarded for new
| construction. In February. perhaps
due to the severe weather, fewer
contracts were awarded than year
ago or in the preceding month of
January. A decline fro January to
February is contrary to the usual
seasonal experience. Furthermore, in
each of the first three weeks of
March. fewer contracts were award
ed than a year ago."

Regular Meeting
Of Kiwanis Club
At ElmwOOd Monday

The regular meeting of the XII
wants club was held at the Elmwood
hotel last evening. the speaker being
Lester W. Shibles, head of the boys
and girls club work of the extension
service of the University of Maine.
AT this meeting also e. A. P. Jones
and G A. Lewis We're elected as dele
gates and Charles A. Allen and Ste
phen Wing as alternates to the In
ternational Convention of the XII
wants clubs to be held in Montreal
on June to 10.
Mr.. Shibles talk had to do with the
work that is being done by the vari-
Gus boys and girls clubs which are
organized over the state by the ex-
tension service of the university. He
told of how this work had been de-
veloped as the needs of better agri-
culture were brought out by the
| needs of war. He showed how the
extension service goes to the farmer
and by planting certified seed on his
| own land, and by special treatments
of the land demonstrated on his own
| farm how better farming could be
accomplished. He told of how the
whole system of canning had been
changed over as result of the work
of the extension service. The boys
, clubs have been developed until now
some 1000 boys are enrolled in over
500 clubs. They do general farming,
raising various vegetables. and some
live stock and each year they have
local competition, county champions
and a state champion. The girls also
have their clubs in which canning
and general housework is shown, and
here also are local contests, a county
champion for each of the counties
and a state champion. The work Of
these clubs helps not only to develop
the boys and girls in the particular
interest in which they are participant
ing but is also of help in the general
school work. The boys and girls are
taught to keep accounts. to keep
their time and to know whether they
have made anything or not. Mr..
Shibles told of the work of one bow
who has been in the club work for
six years, he has been a county
champion, has been to Springfield,
Mass. at the exposition there and is
now in his second year at the Uni
versity of Maine and has paid his
way so far from his work in the club.
These boys and girls have been
taught that farming is a business
and should be handled as such. That
the farmer must play a lone hand
and must make out plans and carry
them out. Some of the boys, WHO
take part in these clubs leave the
farm for a while but the most of
them return.
Mr. Shibles described the annual
banquet which is held at the Uni
versity of Maine at the time of the
state championship meet. He said
that this banquet is handled wholly
by the boys and girls. The toast
master is a boy or girl and all the
speakers are boys and girls who have
done particularly we'll during the
year. He said that in six years he
had never asked a boy or girl yet to
speak there who had refused and he
had never heard one make a failure.
He declared that he was ready to
state from his intimate knowledge OF
the work that these boys and girls
were doing, that there was never a
time when there were any more red
bIoodee boys and girls in the state of
Maine than there are at the present.
