GOMPERS PLANS
BIGLABOR DAY
DEMONSTRATION

President Samuel Gompers ha
asked the three million members o
the American Federation OF Labor I
take mart in a mammoth national wiz
tbe-war demonstration. The appea
addressed to secretaries of city centra
bodies and A. F. OF L. organizers
said:
The st. Paul convention OF the
American Federation Of Labor
unanimously adopted the recon-
mendation OF the executive council
regarding the celebration of Labor
Day, on the first Monday in Sep
tember, 1918. The declaration Is
quoted as follows:
Convention Declaration.
Since the recognition of the
first Monday in September as La
Dor Day, the celebration OF that
day has increasingly become OBJ
served as labor's special festival.
'aThe first Monday in September,
1917, was the first Labor Day after
our country entered the war and
its celebration assumed a more
subdued and serious tone.
EThe first Monday in September.
1918, will be the second Labor
Day since our republic has
thrown its strength and re-
sources into the titanic struggle.
mo one can dispute that labor
has done and is loyalty doing its
mart in support of the Govern
ment aud our common cause. 1t
is but fitting that Labor's Day,
.1e1s, should be observed in dis
tinctive manner. We. therefore,
recommend that. organize ~
in every section of the
observe the day by specia -CT"-
monies and demonstrations and
that the slogan be: Win the
War for Freedom.
Urges All to Celebrate.
The convention declared that
the expense connected with the
celebration and demonstrations
for uniforms. banners, automo-
biles and transportation was
negligible as compared with the
advantages which come from the
spreading of information, the
creation of intensified interest in
labor and the world tight for
freedom now going on.
All organizations are urged to
carry out these suggestions that
this Labor Day celebration be-
come general in all localities:
that II constitute a tremendous
contfngent-wide demonstrations
of the loyalty OF Americas work
ers, their determination to stand
by the principles of organized
labor and to maintain the insti-
tutions of the Republic of the
United States and the holy cause
in which, with our great allies
we are engaged.

BEAUTY IN HOME. GROUNDS

The ground surrounding the typical

shrubbery around the porch Is also fire.

showing that it has been chosen at ran
dom, poorly planted and poorly kept.
This condition is so general that the
exceptional yards seldom fail to attract
attention to themselves, and Incident
ally to the neglected yards.
The war garden movement last year
led many who had grown away from
planting to revert to the inherent in.
stfnct in every person to see things
grow and to help them. Many were
surprised that their small kitchen gar
dens began to take time which former
ly went to outdoor sports, and that the
pleasure was fully as great. The bene-
fits are likewise as readily recogniz-
able. If this interest can be sustained,
it is probable that there will be re-
