who have come strongly into contact
with the critical labor problem and
desire to assist in its solution.
Those in charge of local arrange
ments are requested to provide a
place for the meeting where a portion
Of the seating may be reserved for the

vitality important.

ment and making it a big success
We count on you for your hearty co.

GOOD FOR WHAT Ais Us

Do you wish the world We're better
Let me tell you what to do:
Set watch upon your actions
Keep them always straight and true;
Rid your mind of selfish motives,
Let your thoughts be clean and
high;
You can make little Eden
OF the space you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser?
Well. suppose you make start
BY accommodating wisdom
In the scrap-book of your heart;
Do not waste one page on folly,
Live to learn and learn to live;
If you want to give men knowledge.
You must get it ere you give,
Do you wish the world were happy?
Then, remember day by day
Just to scatter seeds of kindness
As you pass along the way;
For the picture of the many
May be oft times traced to one
AS the hand that plants the acorn
Shelters armies from the sun.
