LETIcs ARE PLANNED.

All the arrangements are completed
for the big Labor day picnic in Fargo

Grove park and q programme OF
speeches and sports has been arrang-
ed that will not leave a dull moment

the laburing men need not trouble
about the full dinner pail.
The speakers for the occasion are

terson and Rev. J. M. walters.
The two ministers have the entire
confidence of the laboring men as are
right on the economic conditions Of
the day. Both will treat on labor top
les Sunday evening in their respective
churches.
Great interest will center around
the tug OF wal between the plumb
ers and carpenters. Both have picked
out q husky team n the outcome is
doubtful as the presidential outcome
in North Dakota.
The ball game between the press
men and printers may not be the
classy and scientific affair that is put
up by the big league teams but 1t will
thrill the ~onlookers from start to nm
ish as both sides will make the usual
good plays and errors that will keep
the result of the game in doubt from
start to finish.
The pie eating contest should prove
a novelty as pie is supposed to be a
luxury to the laboring man. And very
few laboring men get to the pie count
er in North Dakota.
The girls and married ladies will
have their share in the programme
and will have two entertaining races.
In the evening a dance will be held
