LABOR DAY PICNIC
CANCELLED BY CLUB
Commercial Men Postpone Out
ing Because it Conflicts With
Chaffee Meeting.

The grand Labor Day picnic spon-
sored by the Commercial Club. to
which was to be attached a 'Made-in-
the-Cape" products show in which
prizes were in store. has been aban-
doned by the Commercial Club.
This action was taken last night by
Joint meeting of the Publicity Com
mittee and the Entertainment Com
mittee.
Three reasons have been assigned
for the abandonment of the labor pic
mic. The laboring men have indicated
their intention of having their Labor
Day picnic down at Chaffee and many
CT the iabOring men from the Cape
are planning to take their families
down there.
The products show would cost a lot
of money and the display of Made
in-the-Cape" products is believed to be
a good feature to add to the Southeast
Missouri Products Exhibit, which will
be held in the Cape October p, Is, 20
and 80.
At the time the committees declared
the big basket picnic that was to have
been held at the Fairgrounds, off, they
also simply deferred the products
show till the week of the Southeast
Missouri Products Exhibit
Several hundred dollars will be ex-
pended for awards in this show, it is
said
At the meeting last night, the mat
ter of obtaining a successor to A. H.
Hinchey as secretary Of the club, fol
lowing the resignation of Mr. Hinchey
was deferred.
The members of the Executive Com
mittee have been instructed to look
for man who viii be suitable for the
position. The Executive Committee
can only make recommendations to the
club, one of the clubs committeeman
explained last night. 1t Will act as a
| nominating committee. The men
whose names it places in nomination
will be voted upon by the club, he said
In the absence of a secretary, Presi-
dent Mcpherson was authorized to en-
ploy stenagrapher to take care OF
the clubs correspondence.
Secretary Hinchey read a detailed
report of the clubs accomplishments
and also lined up such unfinished &C
/ Invites as the club has before it, for
the years work. He likewise made
several suggestions concerning activ-
tiles the club might enter.
, The financial report showed that
enough money belonged to the club to
/ finance all its activities. if only all the
members would pay up their dues and
all the revenues could be collected.
From the financial statement that Mr..
Hinchey read, it appears several of
the members are delinquents-
His report went into detail on such
money matters. There is a financial
committee to look after the collections.

Enterprise AssociatfenJ
Isn't 1t strange, little book,
that the worst quarrels we have
with those we love are started
over such little things?
This morning Dick got up
cross and when he went to put
on his tie it would not pull In
his collar. Finally he gave 1t a
jerk which caused it to tear In
two.
Then I, who could not keep
my mouth shut like a sensible
woman, remarked: That tie cost
one dollar"
OF course that exasperated
him so that he jerked off his
collar aud in doing so tore his
shirt down and across the back.
Even then I did not know
enough to keep still and said:
For heavens sake, Dick, don't
be q child"
Twill you kindly keep still,
Margie?" asked Dick in what he
calls his d polite tone.
"Of course, will, but hate to
see you make such fool of your
self"
I don't think l ever heard Dick
swear as he did when l said this,
and, of course, | got perfectly
furious: 81 will not have any
man swear like that before me-"

Then you can leave the room
as ] shall reserve the right to
swear in my own house whenever
] feel like it,"
You are brute"
81 won't try to disabuse your
mind of that, at the present mo-
ment.
81 think It is Just terrible for
you to treat me this way when
try to be the very best possible
wife to you."
Good lord, woman! Can't q
man swear at his collar button
without his wife taking it as a
personal INSULT"
iou HOW yOu uiu hui SWOai
at your collar button, you swore
at me-"
well IL you don't keep still I
probably will do so again. / must
say, Madge, that when you make
