Monday of next week, September
3rd, will be given a nation wide OBJ
servance as Labor Day. Perhaps no
part of the United States gives closer
Observance to Labor Day than the
people of North Dakota, who with
the harvest and threshing both in full
swing make this season of the year
one of unending labor. There is no
need of the proclaiming of the first
Monday in September as Labor Day

need for legislation as to what the
iaborer shall demand for his hire.
