Chairman Hurley has just issued an
appeal to toy.makers to forward the
work of those who seek TO hasten the
development of Americas merchant
marine, and the toy men have agreed.
The war, of course, has influenced
children's toys as It has influenced
every life and colored every thought.

and fortresses on every market, but
this has not satisfied the shrewd prop.

Labor'S Conservation.

President Wilson procaims Labor day this year
as one Of conservation. Always deeply significant,
he says this year it is supremacy The laborer,
the president declares is not only needed much
the soldier, but it is his The struggle is
that industry sustain and the army of laborers
home is important as essential as the army Of
fighting in the far fields of actual fighting. The
soldier, therefore, is the laborers champion and rep
resentative To fail to win would imperial every
thing that the laborer has strfven for and held
since freedom first had its dawn and the struggle
for justice began The soldiers know this and SO
they are fighting for the ideals Of this our land
great ideals, immortal ideals, which shall light the
way for all to the places where justice is done,
and men live with lifted heads and emancpated
spirits. This is the reason they fight with solemn
joy and invincble
It is on this account that Labor day should be
made an occasion of comprehension, not only of
what about and of renewed and clear eyed
resolution, but day of conservation in which we
devote ourselves without pause limit the great
task of setting our own country and the world free,
to render justice ALL and making impossible for
small groups of political rulers anywhere to dis
turb our peace or the peace Of the world or in any
way to make tools and puppets of those upon whose
consent and upon whose powers their own authority
and their own existence depend.
So with the light of new conviction perpetrat-
ing to every class among US, may upon
each other the president procIaims realizing as we
never did before, that are all comrades dependent
upon each other joining hands to lead the world to
and better day.
What a wonderful thought it is that President
Wilson has presented for Labor day consideration.

them resolution and courage as well as conviction
