Last Labor Day Malverne had real com
munity celebration arranged for by large
and enthusiastic committee Of citizens. Our
entire organization was placed at the disposal
Of this committee Among the features OF the
celebration, which lasted for six days was an
encampment Of several hundred Boy Scouts
from New York City and vicinity; an old
fashioned country carnival, with twenty-one
UNIQUE attractions, among them the merry
ro-round. high swings, African Dip, Hoopla
and the "Queen Of Fortune TeNers' Valu-
able prizes were offered in the athletic events,
which we're open 10 all. Firemanic contests
and exhibitions warmed the hearts Of the ma
tive sons. Our Labor Day parade Of visiting
volunteer fremen, Boy Scouts, gayly deco
rated automobiles and visiting clubs was over
a mile in length. In the afternoon sham
battle with a real military problem, was
staged. which aroused the patriotism OF the
entire countryside.
over 1000 people visited Malverne on
Labor Day; over 5000 people visited Maverne

There are two facts in this rather exception

This is an age Of specialization. We are land

The colonel just wants to get back
at somebody for something some
body has stolen his third term, and
maybe that's why he is so vociferous
for Hughes. Maybe the people

DragO, a Shawnee Indian, daughter
of Peter W. Drago of Utah, now Y
years old, born at Newark, O., pleads
that Pres. Woodrow Wilson, while he
has the power, in the name of his
wife, who is a direct descendant of
Pocahontas, the American Indian,
proclaim freedom to the American

They are the only race who have
no freedom in these United States,
though they once owned this beaUti-

paid even interest on that land, but
kept the Indians in bondage.

troll, undoubtedly will come the de-
velopment of the lines where most
needed. The profit of the surplus
paying section of the land now going
to private Golfers would be used by
the government to build a railroad
in Nevada or some other apparently
poor district that needs development.
The nation is like the body of a
