Center William Green, President American Federation Idea of Labor Day Trade Unionism an Goes Back to 1884 George McGuire, a cigar maker, is credited with having been the father of the Labor day idea He urged, at a labor convention in Chicago in 1884 that one day be set apart each year as a labor holiday, when labor organizations could celebrate their achievements and recount , the progress of their cause. McGuire continued to urge this plan until the first Monday In September was set apart In most states as a holiday, to be known as Labor day. There is a vast difference between Labor day in this country and abroad. Most of 'he European countries observe the first of May as their Labor day, and it is frequently marked by riotous demonstrations. In America it is the custom to observe Labor day much as other holidays are observed. The banks and public buildings close, business is suspended generally and labor organizations meet in an orderly manner to celebrate their day of days. As they look over the year that is past they realize again the truth of the assertions frequently made by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, that the worker in this country is the best paid in the world, that he has a better home life, better working conditions and more progress to his credit than the men who labor under any other flag. : It is worth recalling that the American Federation of Labor has stood squarely against any radical movement in America. Samuel Gompers held that position during his long service with the federation, and Green, who succeeded him, has made the federations positldn even stronger. Labor realizes that what It has won has been through an orderly campaign, and it has no use for the insidious forces that would tear down our institutions. .

OLANDER dignity of labor Is a wonderful blossom which flowers only on the thorny stem of willing effort, rpoted deep in the knowledge of Life. It is th essential Joy o! existence, for it is th consciousness of achievement. At Its coming the barriers dividing artisan and artist vanish as the mists oi th night before the rays of the morning sun. Inspiration, that heavenly messenger at whose touch nun works marvels, reaches out with lavish hand. Labor then stands forth a shining creature, resplendent In tbs realization of his being as th image and likeness of th Creator, y Th ' . has say value until wealth. Nothin turned over by the band of labor. Is begun by th hand ol Everythin lahor, and b finished by the band ol tabor. Labor has produced all tbs wealth of tha world. Charles M. Schwab.

The wheat is of finest quality of that variety, and Mr. Baril plans to seed a far greater acreage to the same wheat next year.

The child who receives help at home has a great advantage over his But too many children are like the small boy who went to the store with a list of groceries to buy and bring home. The clerk carefully filled out the list and checked it up. He was about to do them up in a compact bundle when the boy suddenly asked for a package of saleratus. But that isnt on the list, objected the clerk. I know, admitted the lad, but she wants it anyway. Then why didnt she put it in the list? asked the puzzled clerk. Well, if you must know, blurted out the boy, she didnt know how to Los Angeles Times. spell it fellow-student- s. Tree Planting Five thousand five hundred and fifty seedling trees were planted at the Boy Scout camps of the Philadelphia council of the Boy Scouts of America recently. Three thousand were planted at Treasure island and an additional 2,500 at Camp Kearsley. The eighty boys and leaders who participated in these reforestation projects not only greatly aided the camps and did a worthwhile job, but also earned part of the requirements of the forestry and conservation merit badges, according to the foresters who supervise the work.
