June KNOWN AS REINFORCEMENT DAY
National Prosperity Association Helps Work
Men--EvidenceS From PtSburS That Good
Times Have Come Adam

st. Louis. - The Simmons Hard
ware Company, the Ferguson McKin-
ney Dry Goods Company and the Ely
Walker Dry Goods Company are
among the manufacturing and Job
btng companies which decided to re-
employ several thousand idle work
men on June 1. The National Enam-
cling Company and the Helmholz
Furnace Company have also decided
to join the advance guard in the re-
employment movement, as the Ma
tiOnal Prosperity Association was ad-
vised that these companies had al
ready begun putting a percentage of
their idle employees back to work.
The corporations mentioned will re-
engage 1000 to 5000 men in their fac
tories and shops.
The Executive Committee of the
National Prosperity Association at its
last meeting fixed June as re-employ-
ment day. 1t concluded to call on all
the manufacturing, mercantile and
financial corporations of st. Louis to
give work to as many idle men as
possible, and even to recall more men
than are needed right away. The
plan has taken definite shape in ST.
Louis, and the committee expects to
have comparatively large list of
companies which have acceded to the

Galveston, Texas.-The adoption
of a nineteen-months-old baby by the
Houston Professional Baseball Club
has just been announced. On train
on which were riding the members
of the Houston team, of the Texas
League, the players noticed a woman
and curly haired child. The woman
requested w. f. Hester, a pitcher, to
hold the child for few minutes, then
stepped into another coach and left
the train at the next station.
A note found on the child gave its
name as Edmund Winters, and the
ball player decided to adopt the boy.
Before the end of the Journey every
member of the club fell in love with
the abandoned baby and entered into
a compact to care for the little one,
electing it the mascot of the club.
AT the games in Dallas and Fort
Worth the mascot was exhibited in
the grounds during the game, and
was showered with money from the
