LABOR DAY

A parade held in New York in 1882
by the Knights of Labor was the first
step toward the establishment of a
legal holiday later to be known as
Labor Day. Following a resolution
passed in 1884 by the same organiza-
ton to hold all celebrations on that
day, working men all over the United
States began to demand that it be
made a legal holiday. Colorado passed
the first law to that effect in 1887,
and her example was closely follow
ed by New York, New Jersey, and
Massachusetts,.
At present the first Monday in Sep
TENDER, which this year falls on the
first day Of the month, is celebrated
in all the states, the District of Col
umbia, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and Alas
ka, as legal holiday, established in
honor of labor. It is usually marked
by parades and labor meetings and
demonstrations.

RELATION OF COUNTY
NORMAL TO STATE
NORMAL SCHOOLS

The Board of Normal Regents has
made a very important rule regard
ing high school graduates who take the
one year course in County Normal
schools. 1t is as follows:
Resolved, that high school gradu-
ates who take the one year course IN
County Normal Schools be permitted
to finish the advanced two-year course
in the State Normal Schools in one
year plus on summer session."
The advantages of attending the
County Normal School instead of go
ing direct to the State Normal are:
1. It is much cheaper.
2. You remain nearer home.
3. You are given an opportunity to
discover whether or not you are fitted
to become a teacher.
4. You secure a certificate at the
end of the course, if your work is sat
isfactory, upon which you may teach
thus enabling you to work your owl
way thru a higher institution of learn
ing.
Graduates from the two-year cours'
are admitted to State Normal Schoo
without examination and given credi
not to exceed one and one-half year:
on the advanced course.

BE A MAN

Foolish spending is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of hard
work. Work for the best salaries OF
wages you can get, but work for half
price rather than be idle. Be your
own master, and do not let society or
fashion swallow up your individual
ity-hat, coat and boots. Do not eat
up or wear up all you earn. Compel
your selfish body to spare something
for profits saved. Be stingy to your
own appetite, but merciful to others
necessities. Help others and ask
for no help for yourself. See that
you are proud. Let your pride be of
the right kind. Be too proud to be
lazy; too proud to give up without
conquering every difficulty; too proud
to wear coat you cannot afford to
buy; too proud to be in company that
you cannot keep up with expenses;
too proud to lie, or steal, or cheat;
too proud to be stingy.

THE UNITED STATES
OF ALI Nj ON Y

The above phrase contains too much
truth to be jest. Our divorce rate
is becoming an alarming problem to
social workers. They say if they
could stop this headlong rush for the
divorce courts many of the other
social evils would cease. This state
ment is undoubtedly true in a large
measure because in Canada, where the
divorce rate is about one hundredth
per cent of what it is in this country,
their social problems are neither so
many, nor do they deal with such vic
ious traits.
Still, it is possible that these social
workers have slipped a cog in arriv-
ing at their conclusion. 1t is more
the habits of American living that are
at fault. Our pace is becoming too
swift to accord to the better things in
life the time they require if they were
to remain the better things. Marri-
ages are contracted with far less de-
liberation than is accorded a real es-
tate deal. :t.--
In order that our fair land may not
become in very truth "the United
States of Alimony," let us train our
children to respect the sanctity OF
marriage Only in this way may we
ever hope to eliminate this evil.

THERE IS AN AMERICAN
TIDE IN THE HEARTS
OF ALL AMERICANS
(From the New York Sun. }

kFFOm the New 10TH quill
In the Eighth congress district of
Kentucky, rockribbed stronghold of
the Democratic party, the voters have
elected Republican to the house of
representatives. They made their fight
on a platform squarely opposing Presi-
dent Wilson's league of nations. They
appealed to the electorate as Ameri-
cans to preserve the American system
of government and American Independ
ence. The Democrats accepted the is
sue, and their candidate, in a tradi-
tionally Democratic district, was beat
en- beyond question and beyond cavil
There is a tide flowing in the hearts
of American voters, and it is sweeping
Woodrow Wilson and his league so
far out in the ocean of defeat that
they won't be able to smell the shore
breeze.

We ought to congratulate ourselves
upon the fact that we are living in a
small town, where most of us own
our homes and those of US who do not
have landlords who are human. In
many cities the people must live in
flats, homes being almost an unknown
luxury, and are at the mercy of rent
profteers and heartless landlords.
Rents this fall have advanced as rule
SO a month. while in many cases
they have increased as much as $25
And the worst of it is that fats are
so scarce that the people must either
pay the rent demanded or move into
the st Get. Pity the city dweller.

is 1T ALL HABIT?

After all, so much in this world de-
ponds upon the way you look at
things. 1t may seem a little thing,
this looking at life from a cheerful or
dismal point of view, but it is in rela-
ity very big thing. Put on a pair
of blue spectacles and everything looks
blue; green, and everything is green.
And so it is with the eyes of your
mind. If we take a cheerful view of
things, life will be far brighter. We
shall not see the faults in people, but
their virtues. If we look for pleasant
things we shall find them, or at least,
we shall think we shall find them,
which is much the same. We are apt
to find what we look for; therefore,
let US look for light and happiness. It
is all habit And it is just as easy
to cultivate a cheerful habit as a
gloomy one. And when once a habit
lakes strong hold of US we all know
how hard it is to shake it off. Let us
then cultivate habit of cheerfulness
in all circumstances of life, and hab-
it of not finding fault. 1t is not the
fault finders who are going to do the
great deeds and make the world rich
err because they have lived. No; these
fault finders who have no time for
anything but fault finding. 1t is the
cheerful people who help the world
along, who make its great inventions
and laws, who build it's monuments,
write its poems and novels, and who
go down to the grave lamented with
honor.

A want of proper domestic economy
has ruined the peace of many family.
There are women who could carry off
their husbands stores on their backs
and not half try. There are men who
fancy when they marry that they are
annexing something for more valu-
able than Cuba, and find later that
they have on hand nothing more than
a combined album, Godey's Lady's
Book and medicine chest. There are
two sides to the picture of home; a
man who has good wife has no right
to complain though the whole world
be against him, for he's in the major
ity. -

A model husband may be a day la

his honest hand, and adds it to the

necessary comforts for the family. He
shares faithfully with his wife what
ever he may earn by trade or profess
sion. When business matters per-
pick he does not go home with Woe
full tale of his hardships and turn the
bright side of his character to his

alone have to meet, and in their mo-

YOU'LL FIND 1T PAYS

Vacation time will soon be over
and everyone should turn again to
their work with renewed zeal.
! Some men and women are so foolish
as to believe that they can work year
| in and year out and never take va
cation; that they are strong enough
to be proof against the dangerous in
roads which overwork makes on the
human system. But sooner or later
they are almost certain to learn their
mistake. And when the breakdown
comes they will realize how much
cheaper it would have been for them
had they quit working for short
period each summer and taken a COM
plete rest.
A vacation improves your work and
consequently your earning power All
the big corporations and businesses
which employ several hundred people
realize this and every summer they
grant all their employees vacation on
full pay. Even though this may cost
them several thousand dollars, they
know it is much cheaper than the mis-
takes that are caused by an overwork-
ed mind.
All of the efficiency and business
magazines are realizing more clearly
each year that "all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy" Most of our
greatest business executives have reg
ular periods of recreation-golf, ten
mis-, swimming, or some other sport
just as they have regular Office hours.
And they observe them carefully, too,
because they have found by expert
ence that fresh air and exercise bring
clear thinking and big profits.
This same principle may be and
should be applied in the small town
and in the small business just as much
as in million dollar corporations. So
if you haven't had your vacation, bet
ter HE you forth now to the woods
and fields and take good rest Bust
ness can take care of itself for a week
or so, and when you return you'll
be better able to take care of bust
ness
Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell story. A we'll told story is as
welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room
Our preachers do not write so many
or so wise proverbs as did Solomon,
but they have fewer wives and better
children usually.
When you have spoken the word, it
reigns over you; but while it is not
spoken, you reign over it.
Nothing but good character will
stand the test of time and good char
acter is no accident.
There is no work so humble that
faithfulness in it will not be noticed
and rewarded.
If religion has done nothing for your
temper it has done nothing for your
soul.
Wealth consists not in store of
riches but in contentment and seren-
ity.
Govern your thoughts when alone
and your tongue when in company.
Whenever you see shadow, 1t
means there is light close by.
IT'S said if you improve not today
you will grow worse tomorrow.
The foundation of happy homes is
laid in the kitchen.

If a young girl reads that which is
weak and false and foolish, she will
be weak, false and foolish; but if it is
true, tender and inspiring, then some
thing of it's truth and tenderness will
glow into her soul and become part
Of her very self. The boy who reads
noble daring feels the spirit of emula-

planted which will bring forth fruit
of pure endeavor and exalted life.
