indoors all day long and work making limitations or movers the child has never seen?
 Some Startling Cases.
 And yet have seen children begin to learn to make artificial flowers when they were only two years old do not say that children of that age are compelled or coaxed by their mothers to work but 1t is this way
 The baby sits in chair by the table watching mother and the other children work The baby stretches out it's hands, grabbing petal or a leaf To satisfy his desire the mother gives the baby few petals, showing him how to pull them apart At three or four the child is already an efficient worker, able to earn about ten cents a day.
 Here are some of the facts:
 4 mother and two daughters, living and work ing in a rear tenement, so dark that an oil lamp must be kept burning all day in order that they may see to work, make forget-menot wreaths. They receive seven cents for one dozen wreaths, and can earn $420 every 15 days.
 frai delicate mother of five children sits at table in their two-room flat from morning until late at night putting artificial berries on stems. She earns from ten to fifteen cents day
 In a fourroom fiat, where three children have died of tuberculosis and two others were suffering from it, a mother and elevenyear-old girl made artificial roses at 15 cents gross.
 In one home a Saturday morning four chil dren, ten, nine, six and four years old, found sitting by table the window making cherries. They had been there since six o'clock in the morning and worked each day until eight o'clock at night.
 No child above four five is considered too young to work The hours for all whether chil- dren adults, are determined not by law, not by physical welfare, but by the amount of work the factory glyes out to be done. If there is extra amount o2 work the whole family work from half past five In the morning until ten or eleven at night, and sometimes until one or two o'clock in the morning, stopping only long enough to eat their scanty meal of spaghetti, dry bread and cof fee on which they seem to subsist
 Breaking the Labor Law.
 In the 165 families studied by the investigator for the Consumers league col children were found More than IS per cent of these were fourteen years and over and were contributing something to the family income; about 36 per cent were five years and under, too young to work, though in few cases children of this age were found helping with the flowers Out of the remaining 46 per cent between the ages of six and fourteen who might be found helping IA per cent were busily at work at the time of the investigators call At least IA per cent then of the children who able to do this work were violating the child labor law of New York state.
 How many could be included in this list it was impossible to ascertain. Many families visited during the morning, when the children were at school, and it only through the word of the mother that able to determine whether or not the children helped with the fow- CTS after school hours. For the most part only cases of children who were actually found at work were listed. Therefore, the estimate is very servative one

MEMORIAL
DAY IDEAL
Thousands of People Visit the Grand Rapids
Cemeteries on Decoration Day

by depositing the flowers on the
mound that was symbolical Of the
hundred thousand unknown nations
dead in the national cemetaries; the
members of the G. A. r.; the Sons OF
Veterans; Women's Relief Corps and
followed by a long procession Of
automobiles, carriages and people on
foot. They proceeded to Forest Hill
cemetery where the Memorial services
were held over the grave Of Comrade
John n. Lessig, the C. A. R. officers
delivering the regular memorial rit-
ualistic service. This service is always
impressive, pathetic and majestic.
Both cemeteries We're thronged with
people all day who exchanged greet
inGs and memories of loved ones who
had gone on before. While these mem
orics are all sad they are the realities
of life that we are all obliged to pass
through and endure. Death is not sad
when it comes as the result Of q well
spent life, it's only the change to a
higher life. It is sad and to be re-
gretted only, when it comes early be-
fore we have had time to make the pre-
paration necessary to meet with the
changes that come to us in what we
call death.
Oh, death whore is thy victory?
On grave, where is thy sting?
We know not, We simply have
faith shat all will be we'll with US.
As you walk through cur local GEM
eteries and witness what nature has
done for us we have much to be thank
ful for The natural beauties are
great and the hand of man has done
much to help in its attractiveness.
Much more can be done and time will
probably bring these favorable chang
es. A memorial arch entrance could
be erected at both Of The. cemeteries
and add greatly to the artistic beauty
of these already beautiful places. We
hope some one will be liberal enough
some day to do something Of this kind.
The entrances to both of the ,cemeter-
les are lacking in this respect. Real
ly they are ugly and neglected.

There never has been a more per
feet day than Tuesday, May Both was
for Memorial Day services. Never
before did the Grand Rapids cemeter-
les look any more beautiful or prove
to be any more attractive than they
did on this day. The cemetery keep
ers had every lot in perfect condition
and the owners had their lots beauti-
fully decorated with blooming plants
and flowers. The outlook in both
cemeteries was grand and impressive
This scene greeted every visitor to
the cemeteries on Tuesday, May 30th.
Decoration Day. When you stop and
think of it and mediate upon what it
means and stands for, it is truly a
great day. This year, when most OF
the countries Of the world are at war,
it arouses ones love of country and
patriotism to the highest pitch. This
year of all years it is we'll that we
mediate and commemorate the les
sons it teaches. The impressive mu-
sic of the band and marching of the
old soldiers bring back the recollec-
tions of 18G1-5, and the bent forms
and tottering age of the few old sol
diers that are left to tell the campfire
stories, that are fast fading. 1t was
but yesterday, they were in youth,
strength and vigor, and today there
are only few left to take part in the
great Memorial Day services we all
love to honor and respect
The program was carried out as
advertised The members Of the G.
A r. Post, Sons of Veterans and Wo-
mems Relief Corps met at the G. A.
R. hall and the line of march was
formed on Oak street headed
by the band which was followed by
forty-eight girl students of the Wood
County Normal school each carrying
a flag and wearing a bandoIeer on
which was the name of 4 state. Each
girl represented one of the states Fol
lowing the normal students came q
company of smaller girls each car
rying flag and a wreath or bouquet
These latter afterward took part
in the ceremony to the unknown dead

SEETHE ELKS'
FLORAL PIECE
Public Invited to See Great Parade Feature
Drill Teams Will Practice Friday Night

There seems to be some misunder-
standing regarding the permission to
view the EIks floral design, which will
be used in the Green Bay parade. The
design will be open for inspection
from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. Thursday
and Friday and anyone accompanied
by an Elk may see it.
There will not be a special train on
Wednesday, but better arrangements
have been made. By the new ARA ,re-
ment, tickets will be good going and
returning on all trains between Tues
day and Thursday morning.
+ a city the size of Grand Rapids
can produce and does produce such
beautiful piece Of work for the pa
rade, it may reasonably be expected
that cities larger than this will pro-

duce equally as good designs and this
means most beautiful spectacle. 1t
IS predicted that the parade on We'd
1esday in Green Bay will be the most
beautiful one yet produced 1t is for
tunate that Grand Rapids is so near
the convention city as to make it pos
sible for many of its citizens to take
advantage Of this beautiful parade.
Drill Practice Friday.
There will be drill practice for the
band and the Elks designated to car
ry the big floral design and for the
marching club at the EIks club at 8
O'Clock Friday evening.
All those who are to take part in
the big parade and especially those
who are to carry the floral design
should make it a point to attend this
drill
