 T0 THE GOVERNMENT
In Every Center In U. s. Every Muscle Strained to Win the
 War Quickly.

The attitude of labor toward the world war and especially he determi- nation of the United St .tes to fight Tor a victorious peace. Tas fittingly shown in the Labor Day celebrations throughout the country. From every city, every center where labor is em- ployed, there come reports of pledges to stand by the Government to the end.
 Never in the history of Labor Day celebrations have there been such out pourlnSs of people. Whether the weather was fair or cloudy the re ports are the same In different cen ters hundreds of thousands, with mil lions throughout the country dis cussed the problems that enter into the equipment and maintenance ot the American troops. Not dissent ing note was heard to the pledge of carrying on the work, but the labor leaders. supporting the rank and file in the theory that it Is a fight to sd vance the interest of labor and man kind, demanded vigorous prosecu- ton of plans to keep the support of the soldiers &t top notch
 The support of the government is not restricted to any quarter. One branch of labor Is just as specific and wholehearted in support of the work Us another Every branch tried to Cutdo the others in pledging coopera- ton in whatever is asked by the Gov ernment toward the accomplishment of a successful issue of the war
 IL is natural that the union labor members discussed the coming Fourth Liberty Loan issue of bonds. Everywhere there was correspond ing determination to see that men carrying card subscribe for an amount equal to the maximum savings of the worker Every worker real. izes that the investment of Liberty Bond is superior 10 any other invest ment in the world both in security and in return Not only was there an apparent disposition to buy person ally, but also to impress upon others the necessity for supporting the Gov ernment financially.

Says Uncle Sam Just Has to Win This
 War and She tends Doing ; Her Fart.

There are five children in the family Of Georgia Samp. r, who washes clothes and windows nd floors to earn living for herself Id the five and to make life rosier for her patrons.
 There Is no one to help with the liv- ing, because Jim. Georgias $ amiable husband, saw fit to wander too far Into the turbulent stream which appealed 10 his sportsman instincts and 1t car ried him off his feet.
 While she was hanging out inc full of snowwhite wet clothes the oth- CT day her employer was helping her and getting the ever-present value of GeOrgia's conversation at the same time, and the question of household expenses arose.
 Tt takes right smart lot of hustlin' now" Georgia commented through the clothespins in her mouth. Ito do every thing that's gotta be done. What with payin' for my Liberty Bonds and hIyin' what We gotta eat 1t keeps me seke busy
 ? .tThat's splendid of you to buy Liberty Bond" her employer said. Il know that 1t must be a good deal for you to try"
 Georgia Buys Liberty Bonds.
 "Lawsy mel she exclaimed. 'T got more'n one, and I'm goin to take an other this time Course you see. gotta take more'n some people. on account of havin' more children
 "On account of having more chil- dren? l should think they would be an excuse for you not to take any,"
 Georgia stopped hanging petticoats md planted her hands on her hips
 Why, Mrs. Lewis. I'm surprised You know what would happen 10 our children, don't you, If Uncle Sam didn't win this war? Lawsy. 1t wouldn't hurt me so muCh-'cept just my feel in's, of course-cause I won't be here so awful long anyhow But my chil- dren. l just wouldn't want to leave 'em on this earth at all if that Kaiser won. l should think everyone would feel the same. Sure they do. Well, then. the more children 1 got don't that mean the more ought 10 give to help win it.? got five of my own flesh and blood at stake in this war, even if they are too young to fight in it. | guess that means I'm goin' to give everything | can to Uncle Sam, so he'll win it for 'em, don't it?'

Why Capitals Name Wac chsnoed.
 With the growth of anti-German feeling In Russia early in the war there was developed a dislike for the name St. Petersburg, which was of German origin and termination. The gar, in opening the duma, said "The German empire and later Austria Hun gary have declared war on Russia. The tremendous outburst of patriotic sentiment, of love and loyalty to the throne-which. like a tempest, tray ersed our entire land-is to me, as fl IS to you, pledge. I hope that the great Russia will conduct to a happy conclusion the war which the Lord has sent" One of the first things the duma did was to change the German sounding name St. Petersburg to the Slavic word Petrograd.

SANTA FE ITEMS.

Weather has been on a good spell
lately. The old hens forgot for a
while to sit quietly on their feet and
scraped up song or two. Standing
out on one of the Santa Fe hills you
could hear lambs bleating, turkeys
gobbhng, geese fighting, and, say, it
made us farm hungry.
R. L. Yowell bought a nice gilt
from Wallace Bybee, price $4,000.
The moving fever is on. It's like
a game of "Puss in the corner" when
they start. One goes out and anoth-
er goes in.

short furlough from the Tennessee
Camp. He wears a medal for good
craftsmanship.
Quite a crowd went out to Mrs.

home folks Saturday and Sunday.

they haven't said anything yet. Keep
ing quite still. Wild ducks also are
stirring. Sure signs that winter will
