The first celebration in New York
took the form which has been the

parade of the Union forces of the
city. Following this another fea-
ture, speeches by leading labor ora

Following the New York outing in
1882, the same organization, encour-
aged by the success of the first affair,
held another one two years later. The
wage-workers in other parts Of the
country started celebrations OF the
same kind.
In 1886 the American Federation Of
Labor went on record as favoring a
day of this kind and instructed the
delegates to work among their con-
stituents and secure as early as pos

gave the movement it's real start.

HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very ''sot"
In her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like a certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
so emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
lind some eXcuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out of
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried neatly roAed umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain.
Quick as flash she answered her
questioner, He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is
softie'"
But" said her friend, also lookins
out of the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an UNI.
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. But
that's another matter-I don't like him
anyhow-and besides, it all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome am
refreshing beverage CocaC Cola. They
have said a good many unkind thing
about 1t and in each instance have had
it proved to them that their tales were
not true
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of it's refreshing
righteousness from the small bit Of CAT,
feline that it contains. They looked upon
that as splendid argument against it,
Then, like'the old lady who was remind
ed of son William, they were reminded
that IL is the caffeine in their favnrita
beverages, tea and coffee, (even more
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism OF
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say "But that's another
matter"-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik-
ing tea or coffee, it all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine is caffeine, and il it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that it is
really helpful in whatever it is-this
Is bound to include Coca-Cola.
OF course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain prejudice. So you see, after
all, it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv.

Fires In state During Year.

Fires In State During Year.
A total loss OF $3,SS6,430 for
the year ending Jmne 80, 1915
is reported by Fire Marshal Glenn
P. Most in his annual report
made public, the sixth annual report
of the department.
The loss resulted from 1883 fires
and, while enormous Of its proper
lions, Mr.. Host points out that the
record shows a reduction of about
$4,000 compared with that of the
previous year, and expressed q belief
that at least portion Of that de-
crease is due to the efforts Of the de-
partment.
Mr.. Host says: 1.-THE state of Wis
consin has been bearing its share
Of this shameful and criminal loss OF
'man-made' wealth and human life.
1--WE burned up in Wisconsin last
year by accident, carelegsness and de-
sign, very nearly 100000 worth Of
property, not including losses from
forest fires. And this is not the
most serious loss. Last year we
burned to death 112 people in Wis
consin, and seriously injured In the
neighborhood of 335 others"
AS to the past years activities Of
the department, the report states,
that there have been 5000 individual
inspections Of premises made by dep
uties in 236 different cities and vii
lagos; which would make an average
of 505 per month. Correction of de-
fects had in most instances been
made promptly and cheerfully on the
oral request of the inspector. How
ever, In 1,439 instances, it was neces-
sary to serve written orders for the
elimination of the fire hazards speci-
fled therein; which would make
monthly average Of about 100 orders.
Commenting on the general ques-
ton Of fire waste Mr.. Host says that
if the record in Wisconsin was the re-
suit Of some uncomfortable cause, or
ii we still believed in the doctrine Of
fatalism with respect to the causes
of fires, the lethargic attitude of our
people toward a reduction of the fire
waste would be explainable, IL not
excusable, but we are able to say
today with considerable degree OF
defniteness, that at least 60 per cent.
Of our fire loss is due to easily pre-
ventable causes.

urated the March, as Celebration
of the Day, in the Eastern
Metropolis That Year.

Y YNLIKE other holidays that are
observed by the American peo-
pie, Labor day did not have it's
beginning in the commemora-
ton of any great event in the worlds
history and for that reason there is
considerable doubt as to who was re-
sponsible for it's birth.
There are many who lay claim to
being the originators Of Labor's ma
tional holiday, and there have been
many chronological tables produced
in support of each ones claim Au-
thorities, however, are almost unani-
mously agreed that the celebration
that has now become one of the ma
tional holidays was given it's first
impulse by the knights of Labor in
New York in 1882.
Those who took part in this first
movement did not, they say, at that
time dream that what to them was
merely an outing for the toilers of
the metropolis would in the not dis
tant future assume worldwide proper
tons.

Forbidden to Train Teachers.

Attorney General w. c. Owen ruled
in response to an inquiry from State
Superintendent G. P. Cary that board
of education of high school district
cannot lawfully establish and main7
tain at its own expense a training
course for teachers in such school.
Furthermore under chapter 555,
laws of 1913, no high school board in a
county containing county or joint
county training school for teachers
can lawfully establish a training
course for teachers in it's high school.
The attorney general, however, held
that the conditions prescribed in chap
ter 555, laws of 1918, did not interfere
with training courses established and
approved by the state superintendent
of public instruction before the enact
ment of such chapter.
In counties haFing county or joint
