LABOR DAY PARADE DROPPED.
Central Federated Union VIII Use
Money to Relieve Unemployed.

New York. July 26.-The Central Fed
Grated Union will not have a Labor
Day parade this year. for the first time
since the first Monday in September
became a national holiday. nearly
thirty years ago. decision to that
effect, virtually reached by the dele
gates several weeks ago, was confirmed
today
The reason for not holding a parade
on September is that the hard times
of the last year or two have thrown
so many people in nearly all trades
out Of employment So the afiliated
unions will use the money heretofore
spent on parades in aiding unemployed
members.
The central body has affiliated with
1t about 300 unions, and the carrying
out of the program of the parade is
an expensive matter. In the parades
OF the last ten years or more the grand
marshal and his aids and the division
marshals and their aids were all
mounted.
The horses were shod at union rates
and the badges worn and the special
uniforms of the marchers, of whom
there were many thousands, were paid
for at strictly union prices. There
were many bands of music also to be
paid for under union conditions, all of
which cut into the treasury of the
organizations. The last two years,
when SO many people have been out of
work, have been a severe tax on many
OF the unions.

Benjamin Brown. Head of Scheme.
Predicts Great Influx of Jews
in Next Ten Years.

The "baek-to-the-soI movement for

itself q success In one part Of the
United States, and II Is the prophecy Of
Benjamin Brown. president and general
manager OF the Jewish Agricultural and
Colonial Association OF Gunnison, Utah,
that the next ten years will find thous-

In America.
Mr.. Brown has been in Kansas City the

In San Pete County. Utah. A newly ir-
rigated country has been opened up for
them there, and sixty-nine families al

Brown says there will be 80 families
there which will complete this colony.
The present colonists have cleared their
land and raised good crops already.
Jews Better on ON Farm.
The object OF this first colony" said
Mr.. Brown, lis to prove what can be
done by our immigrant Jewish people.

THE reason that other attempts at
putting the Jew on the farm were not

among people with whose customs and
ways they were unacQuainted. BY the
plan now in vogue large
numbers of families are kept together.

Just keep busy and use your brains
and elbow grease" This is the advice
which G. H. Clifford. of the Standard Oil
Company, manager of the New Jersey
refinery, gave recently to a big audience
of high school boys.
Mr.. Clifford is one OF the men who has
started a campaign to see that high
school boys shall get a practical educa-
ton, and he is most enthusiastic in the
work. He told the boys how he got along
as a boy and then announced himself
ready for questions.
First one of the boys asked how much
he would get If he started with the
Standard Oil Company when he was
graduated, and was told s. or IS a week.
The next one wanted TO know what
progress could be made. Mr.. Clifford re-
piled to this by saying that willingness
to work and not being afraid to. get dirty
when the work called for 1t, was a big
feature.
Then the boys asked Mr.. Clifford to tell
how he won promotion in the company,
and he willingly related his experiences
as a sweeper when a very young boy, his
promotion to the oilers division. and then
his transfer to the machine shops.
1T seemed to me that was to be a
machinist all my life, but one day I was
made assistant superintendent. Another
day the superintendent of the shop said
that he had worked long enough and that
he was not going to spend all his days in
a greasy oil yard and he quit. l was made
superintendent. Then came the chance to
be manager of a branch, and there you
are"
As a matter of fact these have been the
sole reliance Of many a poor boy who has
won distinction-men who began with no
other capital than elbow grease and
brains, Everything has its price, and the
price Of success is often long years Of
monotonous and so-called dirty work.
There is a Persian proverb which runs:
Take what you WILL" said the gods to
mortals, Ind pay for it,
believe that more young people fail
because they are not willing to pay the
price Of success in honest effort, than
fail from the mere lack Of a chance"
1 believe that there are bread and sue
cess for every youth in this land of op-
portunity who has the grit to seize his
chance and work his way to his loaf;
that the barriers are not yet erected that
can Say to the aspiring, Thus far and
no farther" that the most forbidding
circumstances cannot suppress the long
ing for advancement, the determination
to get on in the world.
Poverty and hardship have ever rocked
the cradle Of the giants OF the race In
this land, where the poorest boy may
reach the White House or become a
merchant prince. no limits can be placed
upon the career Of a youth, no matter
how humble or how poor. who Is made of
the right stun and who has learned the
alphabet.
The men who have left their mark on
the world seized common occasions and
made them great. There are compara-
lively few geniuses. 1t has ever been
men OF ordinary ability and common vir-
tues, with uncommon application, with
supreme determination and persistence,
with brains and elbow grease" who
have won the great prizes Of life.

Corn should be thinned to stand by

A custom that is prevalent in many

Better results are had when corn is

Laws Governing Subs

Most readers Of newspapers are

ing subscriptions. Here are the
decisions of the United States court
on the subject. They will be inter
esting TO delinquent subscribers:
Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con
sidered as wishing to renew their
subscriptions.
If the subscribers order a dis
continuance Of their publication the
publisher may continue to send
them until all dues are paid.
If the subscribers refuse to take
periodicals from the post office to
which they are directed he is re-
sponsible until he has settled his
bill and ordered the paper discon-
tinaed.
Eff subscribers move to other
phases without informing the pub
Usher and the papers are sent to
the former address, the subscriber
is he'd responsible.
1.-THE courts have held that re-
fusing to take periodicals from post
office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for is prima facia evidence
of intention to defraud.
IF subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at
the end Of the time if they do not
wish to continue taking it, Other
wise the subscriber is responsible
until express notice with payment
of all arrearage is sent to the pub
