jealous and very audible voice:
"Auntie, kiss me, too"
Certainly. pet" returned the girl.

For B. R. F. Strikers
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Striking en-
ployes of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company, who have hampered oper-
atoms of Brooklyn's transit system for
10 days, today made a final effort to
arbitrate their demands before the ex-
piration at noon of the company's ulti-
matum that men returning after that
time would forfeit all the seniority
privileges.
-Four thousand Of the strikers last
night unanimously voted for the ap-
pointment of Mayor Hylan as sole ar
hitrator of the strike. The mayor was
expected to make renewed overtures
this morning to Federal Judge Julius
M. Mayer, legal custodian of the B. R.
T. system"
1t was clearly indicated, however,
that Judge Mayer and the company
would remain staunch in their prev,
iously expressed determination not to
deal with representatives Of the
amalgamated association Of street and

quate pay for his labor.
The hours of labor which farmer was forced
to use to cultivate his land was accepted as a
necessary accompaniment of agricultural work.

it was in order that he do so, was our reasoning.
But we did not see that if we took his work.
ers away from him to work in factory and
store and thereby created irksome conditions for
him, he presently would ask, 'Why should work
long hours to produce the food consumed by men
who work only hours?" We were forcing him
to decrease his acreage as result Of the inroads
we were making on his labor supply.
Today we have more enlightened opinion of
the dignity of the farmer and Of his important
place in our whole national economy. We are
beginning to respect him for the highly vital
work which he performs in the tilling Of acres
that produce the foodstuffs upon which we de-
pend for the maintenance of physical strength.
The farmer himself looks upon his activities
in different light. Today he combines with his
skill as a tiller of the soil, bushes ability and
acunen, so that his whole sphere of activity has
been enlarged.
Much of the drudgery of farm life has been
eliminated by machinery, and new inventions are
constantly adding comfort and supplying con-
veniences to his home The state fair shows
many of these in operation and gives the visitor
an opportunity to judge their merits.

The Growing Importance of Agriculture

The Growing Importance of Agriculture
The large number of Hoosiers attending the
state fair testify that Indiana has deep-seated
appreciation of the Importance of agriculture.
The state fair, originally intended to display
the finest exhibits Of our agricultural wealth,
could not overlook, however, the great import
ance which also attaches to the industrial enter
prises of our state, so that today it embodes
displays from both sources.
Since the outbreak of the war the true i'm
portance and the vital position Of agriculture in
the welfare of the nation have been strongly en-
phasized, and as a result the farmer and his
problems no longer occupy back position in our
thoughts, but are sharply to the 'front.' where
they belong.
This is as it should be. For many years the
farmer has been producing the foodstuffs for
our tables, often at prices that have not given
him fair return on his investment and, in many

Answers to Questions

M. T.-What is the origin of Labor
Day?-It is set apart as legal holiday
by each state in the union. The be-
ginning of the observance Of the day
by labor dates back to 1882. In Sep
TENDER Of that year the Knights Of
Labor held their original assembly at
New York, and on the fifth reviewed a
great parade organized by the Central
Labor Union of that city. The follow
ing year the parade was held the first
Monday in September, and in 1884, on
the resolution of George r. Lloyd, one
of the Knights of Labor, it was decided
that all future parades should be held
on that day, and that 1t should be
known as Labor day. Workingmen's
organizations all over the country then
began an agitation to induce the state
legislatures to declare the day legal
holiday, and Marck Is, 1887, Colorado
led the way to be quickly followed by
New Jersey, New York and Massa-
chusetts. The first Monday in Septem-
Der is now established as Labor day.
Subscriber-Is Rear Admiral Nj
black a native of Indiana?-He was
born at Vincennes, Ind, July 25, 1859,
and was graduated from the naval
academy at Annapolis in 1880. He has
been appointed naval attache to the
United States embassy in London, re
garded as one Of the best appoint
ments In the navy.
