 One of the most striking features of the parade in connection with the ob- servance of Labor Day here was the spirit Of patriotism that pervaded the 1 procession. American flags of every size were conspicuous, every marcher carrying at least one of the country's emblems; there were service flags, too, showing that hundreds, and even thousands of men from the national and international organizations have | gone to the war, and in addition, the keynote of love of country was struck again and again by placards displayed which evidenced the loyalty to country and devotion to duty, and the deter imitation to "get the Kaiser's goat" In fact one of the organizations carried a card setting forth this intention. and also led a dun -colored specimen of the genus Capricornus, or in other words the well-known and justly celebrated Billie Goat"
 Typo" Float is Attractive However, there were numerous other features of the parade that while not facetious or humorous, attracted great attention and brought forth enthusias- tic applause from throngs of men, women and children, who lined the sidewalks along the route. One of the most striking, perhaps the most strik- ing, as well as creditably done fea- lures was the float of the Phoenix Typographical union. Mounted on a big motor truck, elaborately and ar , tistically decorated, were living char acteriZation representatives of Ben Franklin, the founder of the printing industry in the United States, and fighting men of the Revolutionary army and the modern army of the United states and Of the army of France in the time of Franklin and at the present day. The characterizations were exceptionally well done, and the float received and merited enthusiastic applause all along the line. On the 7 float was banner bearing this in scription: Ben Franklin got France to Come to Our Aid in ITS | We Are Aiding France in 191S.' Other banners carried by the , have been killed in France, and that v the I. T. U. has sent 5000 to the front |, and the membership has subscribed : $5,391, ,190 to the Liberty Loan fund. The Republic truck used by tho printers was graciously loaned by the
 Southern Motor Co.
