LABOR DAY PARADE

LABOR UNIONS PARTICIPATES IN
MAMMOTH STREET PRO-

Picnic Held During Afternoon and
Prominent Speakers Addressed
Big Assembisge.


Practically every branch Of the
many labor unions in the city were
represented yesterday In the mammoth
street parade that moved over the
principal thoroughfares shortly after
10 O'Clock. All along the course OF
the parade were flags at windows to
show that the people OF Wheeling
recognized the quality OF the men who
were passing. Headed by Chief Of Po-
lice Thomas Leyland, the SQUAD OF
police. followed by Chief Rose and the
hremen. formed the advance guard OF
the parade. Immediately following
the advance guard came an auto with
Mayor II. l. Kirk. DIR. T. NJ. Haskins.
Assessor w. A. Hankey and Auditor
Charles Ahrens..
One of the very noticeable features
of the parade was the stogie makers.
which Is the strongest local here.
They put up a splendid appearance,
but were closely tied with the Inter-
national Association OF Machinists.
The meat carvers also presented quite
an appearance with their white
aprons. The stogie makers were led
by two men representing the little In
dams that are found in front of most
cigar stands. The street car men
were also strong. Probably at no
time in the history OF organized labor
has the city presented such a parade
as that OF yesterday.
Following the parade. those in line
dispersed and joined their families at
the park. where they listened to labor
leaders addresses on the matters that
especially interest the working man.
Several OF the large business houses
OF the city had their wagons and mo-
tor trucks in The parade.

Farmers, Don't For
get the Corn Crop

ssEEf2e THEE.&i
Corn has coined cash ON Codington
county farms during the past four
years, and if the present season shall
be anything like the past four I'll
stands to eason that corn will do the
same thing again.
Beginning with the year 1911 and
each year since, we feel safe in saying
that on the average farm in this coun-
ty, the corn crop has been the most
profitable crop grown. Simply be-
cause it gave greater cash returns per
acre than the other crops.
How about the corn crop this year?
Do you realize that it is absolutely es-
sential that we grow more cultivated
crops in this county than we have in
the past? The beneficial effects Of a
cultivated crop in the rotation is com
mon knowledge. 1t helps to keep the
land in better physical condition, con-
serves moisture, and makes for q bet
ter seed bed, all of which are import
ant items, and greater than either OF
these is the fact that we grow more
and better crops following a cultiyat-
ed crop than we do where it hos not
been used.
We hope that the same thing will
not happen this spring that happened
in a number of cases last spring. We,
had talked the matter over with quite
a number OF farmers in different sec
tons of the county. Their corn acre
age was sure going to be increased
to large proportions. Later quite 9
few Of these men informed me that
being that the spring was keeping SO
cold, SO late in the season that there
wouldn't be any corn anyway SO they
sowed it to barley and let it go at
that. And in some cases they cut
down their acreage of corn to about
onelhalf of what they intedned to
plant to corn. Not with a single ex.
