To JOIN WITH LABOR
Business People Should Cooper
ate in Making Holiday
Big Event.
ROCK ISLANDS TURN THIS YEAR
Organizations to Come From Sur
rounding Towns to Swell
The Crowd.

1t is up to the Rock island business
men to throw on their holiday toys in
honor of labor this year. The tri-
city Labor day celebration, as is
known. comes here next fall, and the
whole arrangements for the affair are
left to the Rock Island Industrial
Home association. which is up made OF
representatives of all the local labor
organic atoms. and naturally they will
look to the people generally, aud the
merchants in particular. for coopera.
tion in making the event what it
should be.
Huber's garden on Fifth avenue and
the grove at the south of 1t have been
selected as the picnic grounds. In
the morning there will be an indus
trial parade, in winch all the union
labor organizations of the tri-cities
add surrounding towns. and floats
from business houses and factories
in the vicinity will participate. It is
understood large delegations are to
come from towns as far distant "a
Clinton. The picnic proper will be-
gin about noon. There will be talks
by several able speakers. after which
the crowd will devote itself TO dane
ing and other picnic diversions.
All shouId Decorate.
The idea of decorating in honor OF
the day no doubt will be generally
adopted by business houses and citi-
zens whose homes are on the line Of
march. 1t is worthy cause and one
that all will be glad of the oPportuni-
tv of sharing in paving tribute.

HAS VOLCANOES TO BURN.
Uncle Sam Has n Choice Assortment In

Uncle Sam Has Choice Assortment In
the Philippine Is and"
The United states geological sur
vey will publish before long some facts
about the volcanoes of the Philippines,
which appear to be interesting. One of
them is the most symmetrically beau
tiful volcanic cone in the world, being
even more perfect than the famous Flu
jiyama. the sacred mountain of Japan.
1t is less than 5000 feet high, and the
name of it is Albay. Albay was an eX-
ceedingly active volcano during the
last century, having burst into erup-
ton at least 25 times since the year
1900. II broke out only last year with
renewed plutonic activity, and back In
1914 no fewer than l 200 lives were lost
in consequence of one of its bad spells,
village four miles from the crater
being buried under lava and ashes to
such depth that the ridgepoles OF the
houses were hidden. Between Albay
and Laguna de Bay are many extinct
or dormant craters. The magnificent
cone of Banajao, 1882 feet in height,
is visible from Manila bay. Its crater,
700 feet deep, was occupied by lake
up to 1890, when a violent eruption
took place, bursting out the southern
side of the crater and pouring out both
water and incandescent lava. On an
island in the Lake of Bombon is the
remarkable Taal volcano, which is
readily accessible from Manila. Its
central crater is oval shape, mile and
quarter across the greatest diameter
and within it's rim two lakes OF hot
water, one yellow and the other green,
and small active cone fifty feet in
height, from which escape steam
and sulphurous gases. The strange
colors of the waters are due to the
presence of chemicals evolved in sub
terranean laboratories. The greatest
eruption of Taal took place in 1754
wiping out four villages. Apparently
the volcanic ash lends wonderful fer
tility to the soil, and presently a new
growth of bamboo and palms appears
where desolation has reigned. Even
the localities most seriously and con-
stantly threatened by volcanoes in the
Philippines are promptly repopulated
after every disaster, their fertility, sur
passingly beautiful situation and
healthfulness charming the people in
to a prompt forgetfulness of past dis
asters. The worst volcanic disturb
ances on record in the Philippines oc-
