AEB TO CELEBRATE
Labor Day Will be Observed in
That Town.
ADDRESS BY E. c. SLOAN OF ALBA
Program Has Been Issued for Days
Events-There Will be Athletic
Sports, Ball Game and sparring Con-
test Preparing to Entertain Many.

Great preparations are being made
by the members of local union No. 154,
OF Keb, for grand Labor Day celebra-
ton to be held in that city September
l. The committees in charge of the
arrangements for the event have been
hard at work for some time, and to-
day have announced their program
for the days observance. A complete
list of events has been prepared and
it is assured that the day will be a
great success. Hon. E. c. Sloan will
be the orator of the day. A ball game
has been arranged, with other sports
to amuse the crowds, and in the even
ing there will be platform dance to
close the festivities of the day.
Expect Large Crowd.
1t is anticipated that large crowd
will be in Keb on that day. The fact
that there is to be no celebration in
Ottumwa will give that town a large
number of the members of the local
unions to swell the crowd. 1t is as
sured that the event will draw large
numbers from the surrounding towns.
although the celebration at Center
vile promises to be largely attended.
The committees from Keb however,
expect to have large number of peo-
pie in that city to help make the day
the success which is desired, as the
fact that Centerville is more distant
will tend to draw a larger crowd to
the neighboring town.
The Program.
The program will open with grand
street parade at 10 o'clock. The pa
will fnrro ~ <eN ~.
and Vine streets, and will march
through the streets and to the picnic
ground, east of the town when the
of athletic sports is most complete
and includes foot races, tug of war,
high jumping contests, a liberated
rooster race and a sack race. There
will also be a sparring contest be-
tween some of the best talent in that
vicinity. For all these events suit
able prizes will be awarded.
Basket Dinner.
AT the conclusion of the morning
program a basket dinner will be en-
1oyed at the grounds. 4he program
of athletic sports will be completed in
the morning. and after dinner the
events for the entertainment of the
visitors will be concluded.
The Orator of the Day.
The first number on the afternoon S
program will be the address of Hon.
f. c. Sloan of Abba, who will be the
orator Of the day. This will be fol
lowed by complete program, con-
sistiEg Of vocal and instrumental mu-
sic and Rotations. The program for
the afternoon will close with match
game of baseball between two of the
fastest teams in that vicinity.
Dance in the Evening.
A dance will be given in the even
ing in the town hall as close to o
celebrauon. The visitors will be y
tertained here, and good time is
promised for all who attend. 1t is eX-
pected that a large crowd will be in
Keb and that the affair will be huge

building a cyclone cellar, but neglects
to provide his family with bottle of
