THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS.

AS everyone knows, c. W. Post Of
Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a
maker of breakfast foods, but he is a
strong individual who believes that the
trades-unions are a menace to the lib
erty of the country.
Believing this, and being a natural
born" scrapper for the right, as he
sees it. Post, for several years past,
has been engaged in a ceaseless war
fare against THE Labor Trust as he
likes to call it.
Not being able to secure free and
untrammeled expression of his opin-
ions on this subject through the regular
reading pages of the newspapers he
has bought advertising space for this
purpose, just as he Is accustomed to
for the telling of his Postum story"
and he has thus spent hundreds CT
thousands of dollars in denouncing
trades-unionism.
AS a result of Posts activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they OBJ
struct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labor's output, hold
up manufacturers, graft upon their own
membership, and rob the public. Natu-
rally Post is hated by the trades
unionists, and intensely.
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men, and he defies
their efforts at boycotting his products.
The latest means of getting" Post Is
the widespread publication of the story
that car which was recently wrecked
In transmission was found to be loaded
with empty peanut shells, which were
being shipped from the south to Posts
establishment at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated with
resident John Fitzgerald of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, who, it is
said, stated it publicly, as truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitz-
gerald the lie direct. He denounces
Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate
falsehood, an undetermined and coward
ly attempt to injure his business, hav.
ing not the slightest basis in fact AS
such an effort it must be regarded It
is significant that this statement about

newspaper publicity. In the patent

sumptuous provision was enjoyed with much
harity, tempered, however. with moderation"
Besides the birthnight balls there was another
feature of the early celebrations in Alexandria
which peculiar to that town. Washington
had founded an orphan asylum there and when
on his birthday there would be meeting, with
an orator. in one of the churches, the orphans
were conspicuousy present and came In for
special piece of Grafton. The account of the
meeting in 1910 says that after the Grafton col

The Alexandria celebrations were often ad
dressed by G. W P. Custis. In 1871 Richard B
Lee the orator. Some idea of newspaper
methods of that day may be had from the fact
that although the celebration that time was men
toned in the Gazette of February 23 1t was not
until February 25 that a real account appeared
During the civil the celebration OF the
birthday ceased Alexandria was ardently south

Since 1876 the celebrations have been rather
irregular in the town which originated them. But
of late years society has been formed which
arranges and carries out elaborate programme
every alternate year. Whereas the orphans used
to be center of birthday attention, the interest
