of the Day, in the Eastern

history and for that reason there is
considerable doubt as to who was re-

There are many who lay claim Ia

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 its first
impulse by the Knights of Labor in
New York in 1882.

movement did not. they say, at that

Keeping oneself reasonably happy is
a duty that ought not to be shirked.
Science is telling us these days that to
get out of the habit of enjoyment is to
get depressed in vitality and vigor, to
weaken in efficiency and to grow old
before ones time. There Is nothing
like laughter-not empty-headed laugh

kindly-hearted kind-to keep people
young and fresh. and fit for the bust

course, this is a prescription not easy
to live up to always, but there is no
reasonable excuse for not trying to do
it, Sometimes it is just about as easy
to be happy as to be miserable, II one
