The labor question seems to be the
problem of the present. The sign of
"Men Wanted" appears almost every
where. Farmers are short of help for
the harvest and it is difficult to find
men in towns willing to go out upon
the farms even at advanced wages. All
the trades, too, find themselves short
handed, but such conditions do not seem
to be any bar to strikes and walkouts
in the large manufacturing centers.

From one and all comes the report
that Wednesday, August End, will be
great day for Edgerton and for the
large crowd that attends the T. A. &
B. picnic and races. You can say to
your friends that on that day the best
horse races ever seen at the Driving
Park will be driven there. Also say to
them that the various committees will
provide many other amusements that
will surely please. The ball game in
the forenoon between Edgerton and
Hillside will be one of the drawing at
fractions. Good music throughout the
day and in the evening a band concert
on the streets, all to conclude with a
dance in Academy hall. There is every
reason why the largest crowd ever
should attend the big picnic this year.
