HOLIDAY IS SPOILED
BY WAR D|SPUTANTS
How a Peace-Loving Man Spent
Labor Day Dodging Belligerent
Arguers, Finally Going to Bed.

This is the tragedy Of a lost holiday.
Early yesterday afternoon Jones quit
his celebration.
Jones is a shabby, little, peace-loving
man who is clerk or something of the
kind in downtown store. For one solid
month Jones had been looking forward
to Labor day and peace. Everybody
around him from the head bookkeeper
to the Office boy had been fighting out
the European war.
AS is usually the case with the inno-
cent bystander. Jones was the official
office goat, continually called upon to,
decide points about which he knew moth
ing. When the. Germans captured Liege
and the shipping clerk started to swing
on the chin Of the town salesman during
an alteration over the pronunciation Of
the name Of the town, it was Jones who
brought peace to the Office and ridicule
upon himself by frankly admitting he
hadn't ever heard of the place.
Jones arose early yesterday morning,
overjoyed. No Office. No debate.
Jones went out to the ball game. When
the first inning started two men of I'M
alterabIe opinions. loud voices and rudi-
mentary educations began. Jones pre-

sentation at the academy will come with

PARCEL POST EXHIBIT
FOR THE FAIRFAX FAIR
Postmaster Praeger Is Planning a
Complete Exposition Of Methods
for Farmers Benefit.

Postmaster Otto Praeger, with the ap-
prevail of the Post Office Department, is
cooperating with the officials of the
county fair at Fairfax. Va, which is to
be held in October, in exploiting the
parcel post service.
The idea of these officials is to have a
big parcel post exhibit, with displays of
everything connected with the parcel
post service, for the enlightenment of
the farmers and other producers of vir-
ginia who might be in attendance upon
the fair. Particular attention is to be
given to an exhibit Of what are known
as tainers''-receptacles for eggs,
butter and similar produce.
Postmaster General Burleson has taken
up the idea and promulgated it gen.
orally throughout the country for the
attention of postmasters at places
where fairs are to be held. list Of which
included in general circular issued by
the department upon the subject men,
tons nearly a hundred fairs to be
held at which the service Is intended to
be especially exploited.

farmers interest by the offer OF prizes
for the best packed shipments of farm
produce. 1t is expected to make this
particular fair model for all others
for the exploitation of the parcel post
service.

should continue playing checkers,

mating-for that's one kind of
watchful waiting. Oh, all things
come to men and kinglets who do
not rave and tear their ringlets.
But lemons come, and prunes and
ounces, to common, garden men
or princes-who OF their honor
are so jealous that if we look at

PLEADS FOR SOCIALISM.
.sufragists Thereby Can Get Eco

Woman suffrage will amount to

women unless the movement fixes the
economic independence Of women as
its goal" declared Jeanette Gershan-
nick at socialist meeting at Penn
sylvania avenue and Sth street last
evening.
Miss Gershannick contended that the
woman suffrage movement would ulti-
mately become a socialist movement
because the economic indepe ntence of
woman could be secured only by adopt
ing the socialist program for the col
lective ownership Of the means OF pro-
duction required to manufacture the
necessaries and conveniences Of life.

OYSTER SUPPLY LIGHT.
No Heavy Shipments Expected Be-
fore Opening of longing Season.

Receipts of oysters from the private
beds have been light so far this season,
and the dealers are not looking for any
considerable stock until after the
10Th of this month, when the longing
seasons opens on the Potomac. Since the
opening of the oyster-eating season. one
week ago, four small craft have arrived
here with oysters aboard, but their
total cargoes did not amount to 800
bushels.
Yesterday the little fiattie Sarah Ellis
arrived from Lower Machodoc creek
with forty-five and a half bushels
aboard, and they were bought up by a
wharf dealer for shucking stock to
meet the local trade. The vessel soon
after discharging cargo left for the
lower river to load back to this market.
1t is stated that considering the
warmth of the weather the oysters now
being received here are in fair cond'-
ton. but are not as good as they will
be later in the season. 1t is also stated
that oysters are selling at the wharf
market at from so to GO cents busheI,
regarded as rather a high price for this
season. due. it is said. to the scarcity
of good stock.

people do not seem to be hilarious over
the war, but are grimly determined. A
strict censorship is exercised over all the
news, so that we are probably receiving
as much war news here in England as
