Sir Roger at the Fair

/ Sir Roger had Tor many DAYS Deen
looking forward to the time when he
could attend the fair, where his we'll
cared-for stock and choice vegetables
were on display. His servants had
taken particular pains in caring for
them all the season.
The following day was the Begin
ming of the fair and he had invited
Will Wimble to attend with him. Will
had acknowledged the invitation and
stated that he would be with Sir
Roger over night so that they might
gte an early start.
Promptly at eight o'clock that even
he made his appearance. During the
evening loud knock was heard at the
door and soon the butler entered and
announced Will Honeycomb. They
were delighted and invited him to re-
main over night and join their party
the next morning.
Will Honeycemb was in very good
humor. owing to the fact that a GER
tain young lady had accepted his pro-
posal Of marriage and promised to
marry him in the spring. This made
Sir Roger very excited and he began
TO extoll the virtues of certain wild
ow. He told Mr.. Honeycomb that a
good wife was a rare blessing and he
would indeed be very fortunate 4 he
could procure one, one-half as beau
tiful and intellectual as the lady he
had hoped to win. Fearing that the
conversation had led up to danger
Gus point Will Wimble suggested that
they retire.
The next morning they arose and
started for the fair; it was beauti-
full day; all seemed to be in the best
of spirits. Sir Roger, himself, owing
to the jolly conversation Of the men,
had even forgotten for the time being
that such preson as the widow exist
ed.
In due time they arrived at the fair.
After going through the numerous
buildings viewing the stock, vegeta-
bles, and fruit, they entered the art
building where beautiful laces, doilies,
and all kinds Of fancy work were ON
display.
Soon Sir Rogers eyes fell on a
magnificent pair of embroidered cur
tains. He noticed the exquisite hand
work and was very curious to know
the name of the lady who could do
such wonderful work. He placed his
glasses on his nose and read the in
scription on the little card attached.
To his amazement he found the max
err to the one woman in the world
whose image he wore in his heart day

The war situation has reached a
critical stage and brought new
"crisis." 1t is but one phase of the
German submarine warfare that, with
the series of violations of interna-
tional law of the sea, has caused
President Wilson to go before Con-
gress and ask for authority to employ
the ar7,ed forces of the nation for the
protection of Americans and Ameri-
can ships on the high seas. The
president and the cabinet have con-
sidered the advisability Of arming
merchantmen for their own protec-
ton. Another plan is to convey fleets
of merchantmen through the war zone
with our naval forces. Either of these
actions would probably, so far as Ger
many is concerned, be tantamount to
a declaration of war.

1t was with profound satisfaction that
your cable message of April s was read,
announcing the enthusiastic reception by
the French army of news of the acts of

the most cherished traditions Of the
American people. and the army Of the
United States is eager to take its place
side by side with the armies of France
and her allies now fighting so nobly for

EMPLOY UNION LABOR WITH
SUCH MONEY AS YOU SPEND
P Organizer Agent A. of

A great deal has been said and
written and there still remains much
to be accomplished before the union
men and women of this country will
realize that their purchasing power is
one thing that is directly under their
own control and can be used with great
effect.
1t has been said that whenever a
union man or woman spends a dollar
for non-union products he is employ
ing non-union labor and is aiding the
non-union employers to establish con-
ditions which organized labor is striv-
ing to eliminate.
Union men do not consider this sub
ject seriously enough and are ever
seeking bargains, never for once con-
sidering the conditions under which an
article is manufactured or the wages
paid the worker who produces it.
Take the gents furnishing indus
try, for example This includes col
lars, neckwear, shirts, belts, hosiery,
underwear, cuff and collar buttons,
scarf pins, arm-bands and garters. 1t
is said 95 per cent of these goods are
produced under non-union conditions,
and yet union men and women of this
country, day after day, purchase these
non-union products without giving a
thought to the label.
How much longer are these condi-
tions going to last. Is it not high time
that the union men and women wake
up to the fact that every time they
spend a dollar or even a nickel for
non-union goods they are traitors to
the cause just as much as military
officer who betrays the military sec
rets of his country to an enemy.
Every time union man or woman
hf1Ny fs,1- i L. Il
label he is throwing union men and
women out of work and tearing down
union factories. We should be build
ers and not wreckers. The only way
we can build and hold our structure
together is by buying the union label
articles made therein.
Make the manufacturer see that you
are consistent, that he can do more
business by paying his help a living
wage; that thru organization his work.
ers can produce under eight hours the
goods you want; that you want quail
ity goods, and if he places the label
thereon you will consider organization.
About 95 per cent of the 5000 900
organized men and women do not stop
to think of their fellow worker. Of
the 5 per cent, he who buys an article
with a paper pasted label thereon,
thinking that he is doing his fellow
worker justice, should stop and think
again: Is it not true that the manu-
facturer who turns out pasted paper
label article puts it there because,
while his workers are organized, he
still is fighting the workers. The pa
per label costs 25 cents a thousand,
the cloth 81 thousand. He knows
that pasted label will not stay on and
my opinion of any manufacturer who
places a paper pasted label on his
goods is that you will find the goods
