A Labor Day Parade

all. I'll have to tell you.
There was a little yellow card with
big black letters on it tackled to their
front door and the letters said
'ME-A-S-L-E-S." Yes. it was measles
that kept the children in doors. First
it was Sally, then Bobby. then Beth
and now they were just about all well
except for that awful sign.
''I don't see why we can't go out"
said Sally, we're really not measly
any more. We might just as we'll be
sick so people would make US nice
jellies and things"
or course. Sally was really very
glad she was over the scratchy measles
but. oh. it was just dreadful not to see
a nice parade!
Bobby was thinking this very thing
out loud as the last notes of the band
died away. That Is, Bobby was making
a loud noise quite like a baby lions
roar and he was thinking in his mind
how very sad 1t was not to have had
even one little peep.
Beth had to do some quick thinking
for if ever Bobby got really started il
was usually rather rainy spell one
could look for.
Let's have a parade our own
selves" she cried. we have a fire
engine ard Bobby has a drum. 1 can
play on a comb"
Bobby stopped crying. His drum
was a great favorite of his.
Shall wese have a band. Beth?" he
asked How shall we have a p'rade
our own seIves?"
oh. we'u have one, and you shall
be at the head of it on your hobby
horse, Bobby" Beth promised. sally
do you want 20 be the fireman? I'll go
borrow Daddy's overalls and be
working man because this must be
real Labor Day parade"

degrading. To work is ennobling. An
honest worker wins the respect Of
all his feliowmen. The story is told
that during our Revolutionary War
commander was giving orders 70
small company of men who were work
ing very hard to raise a heavy log to
the top of some military works.
Speed up. hoist her up. heave away
there the commander would cry.
fellow officer coming upon the scene
asked, Why don't you help those poor
men. they have hard job on their
hands What. l soil my hands on
that timber?' cried the commander,
am a Corporal" The officer said
nothing but taking off his coat he put
his shoulder under the log and helped
the soldiers lift it into place. Then
wiping the perspiration from his face
he turned to the astonished command
err and said: The next time you have
job like this and you are too good
TO help your men. send for me. Hard
work Will never hurt anyone The
commander lowered his head in shame
for the officer who had put his should
er to the job was none other than
General George Washington, the Com
mander-in-Chief of the American
Army. Never be afraid to work. Paul.
Labor is 10 be honored and the whole
nation stops work TO honor the laborer
each September on Labor's Holiday"

marched right nicely though Tommy
Rags legs dragged bit he was so tall
and Mr.. Kewpie was quite 'up in the
air.. he was so short.
Sally put on Bobby's freman's cap
and took out the little fire engine and
ladder company. Beth wore Daddy's
overaIis and carried comb to play on
Bobby rode on his horse at the head
of the parade beating his drum.
Round and round they marched the
dolls bobblng up and down. the fire
engine rum bling and the comb part
of the band quite out of breath. What
a fine parade 1t was to be sure.
Soon the door opened and mother
peeped in.
We'll, welI," she asked. What's
all this? A parade 1 do declared"
Labor Day p'rade." Bobby cried.
Come and p'rade wifi u.s..
Mother laughed.
Il was just going 10 say" she said
that l thought the paraders might be
hungry after such a long march and
Il they will be so kind as 70 march
themselves into the dining room. they
will find ice cream and cake waiting
for them"
600" cried all three.
Forward march," cried Beth and
away hey went.
Il fink il was more fun than just
iook.n' at a p'rade." Bobby declared

spoonfUIs of ice crea m
Much more" sally agreed. and
Beth always thinks mp the nices'
things just when we're all Disappointed
and blue. I'm glad she's in our fam
lily. Mummy"
That's the way to do" Mother ar
proved. Always look for the bright
side of things and youU be sure 20

the tube. The distance from the
shoulder to the end of the plunger
should be about l" less than the
length of the tube. because it must not
run all the way through the tube
when pushing out a load.
Make the stick round first and then
cut grooves around the stick where
the shoulder is TO be located by hold
ing the stick between the thumb and
blade of the knife and revolving il
with the left hand.
If the end of the tube is rather blunt
file it so it will cut through the slice
of potato more readily.
Prepare the ammunition for the
potato gun by slicinE a good sized
potato into Z" slices, II thinner the
tube will not hold the air Lay a slice
of potato on the table and press the
tube through IT.; when you feel the
tube strike the table. twist the tube
making sure the potato is cut all the
way through. With the plunger push
the pillet TO the other end of the tube.
Cut another piece into the end OF the
tube and then with quick push of
the plunger force the last pillet up TO
the first. The compression OF the air
will force the first pillet out with con-
siderable force ana a loud pop.
Should the sides of the tube be
denied or there be a crack in the
seam, the air will escape and the gun
will not shoot.

Millions Silk Shirt

IT'S like its owner" drawled Uncle
Ike. IT'S getting too old to be much
good"
Milton tried the mower, but It had
seen its best days. 1t had been sharp
ened so often that it was worn thread
bare like a mans cid trousers. When
the old man asked the boys errand.
Milton told him all about the silk
shirt Then Uncle Ike smiled feebly
and returned to his out-of-date mower.
At his favorlte store there were only
a few silk shirts in his size and none
with the broad green stripes he want
ed. Milton decided to look elsewhere.
At the general store where he went
next the first thing he spied was a
beautiful green-and-white article sit
ting Just inside the opening to the
hardware section. Green paint COW
cred the metal parts the wood had
been vanished a creamy white and IL
sported a gorgeous label of gold and
green. Yes, it was a lawn mower with
a large card Haunting the special price
of $500.
Milton went on back to the depart
ment of mems and boys clothing. on
the counter was a pile of silk shirts
and the top one had green stripes.
Anxiously he asked his size and found
il was just what he wanted. He started
10 pull out the FIVE dollar bill, then
hesitated and broke into a trot.
AS he ran he saw Uncle Ike pushing
and Juggling at the noisy mower that
was no-account. He remembered how
old and feeble and hunched he looked
and how good he was TO everybody.
Millions heart pounded as a hardware
clerk came forward.
What can l do for you?" smiled

y T was Labor Day and on the breeze
came the music of the bands that
kept the marchers of the great
- parade in step as they went up and
down the town.
Three little folks poked three little
heads out Of a window their three
pairs Of eyes looking as hard as any
thing TO see If there couldn't be Just
the tiniest of gIimpses to be had of
the parade among house and tree tops.
Dear me- said Beth who was seven
and oldest. Il can't see a thingT'
Nor me nuther," Bobby put in.
Bobby was smallest and just turned
four.
Sally kept looking but the band
grew fainter and fainter as the parade
marched away.
IT'S gone. bTieve" Sally said at
last.
Bobby's mouth curved quite like a
new moon turned upside down.
"I-I-wanna-" he began with a trace
of tears IN his voice.
Beth looked at Sally and Sally
looked at Beth. It promised to be d
very sorrowfuI afternoon with every
body at holiday except them and Bob
by crying.
Don't mind" Seth comforted
there's lots Of other Labor days com
ing. years of them with other pa
rades."
"B-b-but I wants mine today" Bob
by put chubby fist into his eye.
Now if you had happened along the
street and passed Beth. Sally and Bob
bv's house. you'd know very well what
was the matter, and the reason that
the three children weren't out enjoy

town. But as YOU might have been

posed to work at all?"
I'D be awfully 'sprised," answered
the boy. and if it's really holiday
why do they call it Labor Day?"
The day is set aside to honor those
who work well and faithfully. and 10
give an opportunity for rest to those
folks who have not had any holiday
throughout the long hot summer.
Nothing is so noble as good. honest
work. and workers should be honored
on this one day at least that is now
set aside for them. The first Monday
in September has come to be set aside

l would have gotten it for you myself
Use the money wisely If you don't

Millions heart pounded with Joy
when he saw that the bill meant fifty
cents for each year of his age. How
he wanted a silk shirt! How nice he
would looki With the glad news he
skipped to his mother in the kitchen:
Nom" he asked, what color do

Bates. But I think black and white
would be pretty"
YES" nodded Milton. "for a really
truly grownup. but I'm only ten years
Old. I want something bright. pink

Milton wrestled with the matter all
morning as he worked in the garden.
BY noon he had almost decided 10 get

buy the silk shirt as he returned.
He went whistling past the Metho-

himself. decked out in a greenland

day School room. Every boy in the
class env!ed him and the nearby girls
gazed blissfully upon him.

onto the main street he spied Uncle

nodding. Sometimes l would sleep
until she came again with some kind
of eatables in her claws. So between
mapping and supping. the night would
soon be over. and daylight streaming
down through our front door. And
then. I would know that another day
had come. which, in our family means
staying indoors and sleeping. For you
know we stay awake al night and sleep
in the day. When you are going to
bed. we are getting up; and when You
are getting up, we are turning back
the bedclothes to get in. Funny way
to do. but 1t is all on account Of our
eyes not being made like yours.
