 Hon. William B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor. welcomed the visitors and opened the meeting with a stirring talk on the opportunity of the rural sections of this country to obtain settlers and farm hands The Depart ment of Labor has been making ex- tensive investigations into condit tions of labor and is aiding all | worthy moves for the assimilation of the floods of immigration in the ! sections where moves for the issim- lation of the floods of immigration in the section where families are needed and where thrift and useful ness in American citizenship can best be achieved
 The meeting which opened this forenoon in the Southern building was called by Senator Fletcher last month. The delegates who attended were told of the tentative plans that had been developed. of offering in
 ducements 10 the agriculturally in
 clined immigrants now out of work in centers of large population. 10 settle on Southern farms, and to care for the distribution fthe harde of for

 Manager Joe Norcross has already assured the event In his rounds of the merchants of Main street there were goodly prizes again placed for the eyes Of the official booster for the race with promises that they should be given as trophies for the winners The date has been ar iranged the officials of the race pre- vious have agreed to act again, and Iother details have been taken up and disposed
 The youngsters have also been sounded as to their willingness to make another try for the champion ship of the Warren District in speed events MT Norcross has tipped them off to the fact that there will be another race. and the machines are even now in the shops and sheds where the extra time is applied that makes for the periect road car and tracer.
 Experience of the former race has taught the youngsters a lot They have learned the value of time. They have seen that stopping to change a
 wheel when that wheel will carry them to their destination. is useless. They have found that generalship is essential to winning the race. They 'haye desciphered out means and de ivices whereby they can make the fastest time for the next event They
