"Gladly will do as you ask, Peter"
said Witty Witch, and was soon of.
Peter Gnome made great prepare
tons for his party. He had had one
not long ago, but this was a special
one for his Every-Day-1s-Nice club.
He made fine pudding all by him
self, Of jam and cake with fine sauce.
And then he made bread and butter
sandwiches and some creamed chicken
on toast, for he said: If don't get
them to eat the chicken first with the
sandwiches they'll never eat 1t. The
jam and cake is all right for dessert"
He fixed a long table made out Of
pine green's which he spread upon the
hard snow. Then he took out long
roll of birch bark which he had tied up
with a piece of red ribbon. He looked
at it carefully and then folded it up
again. It was the story he wanted to
tell his guests.
Well, they all arrived on time and
they all were delighted because Peter
Gnome said: I'm honored to be the
president Of this club which so keeps
to its rules. None of you have COM
planned Of the weather lately, though
there have been storms and billiards
and rain and what not. Instead you've
had the good sense to know that every
day is really nice and that there isn't
a day when we can't have fun.

my members who are such fine mem
bers and who cause their president no
trouble but much Joy.
i've a story I want to read to you.
I've written it upon this great piece
of birch bark"
He took the piece Of birch bark,
carefully united the red ribbon and
proceeded to read his own story in a
great voice. This was his story:
''There was little girl, once, named
Peggy. She wanted to meet the WISH
ing Fairy, Of whom she had heard a
great deal.

full. Remember how many mistakes
are made. And I hope you'll choose
wisely. I've only one wish to give to
each person I'm visiting this evening" -
peggy thought awhile and then she
said: Dear Wishing Fairy, I'd like to
be the sort of person who Is always
happy, who doesn't get upset over
little things and who doesn't feel like
crying and who doesn't think every
thing is always going wrong. I'd like
to be the sort Of person who is happy
for then I'll have such a gorgeous, glo-
rious, beautiful life.'

RIGHT AGAIN
Rexall Straw Vote Accurately Fore.
casted Election Result.

During the last few weeks of the
political campaign, when the Rexall
straw vote showed that Harding
would receive at least two votes to
Cox's one. many Democrats were in
clined to believe that the straw vote
could be an indication of the final
result-and some seemed to think
that the vote might have been fixed"
to show Harding in the lead for polit-
ical effect.
That straw votes do indicate the
probable result of an election has
again been proven by the fact that
with two exceptions, all of the states
which the Rexall vote indicated
would go for Harding actually went
that way. and the proportion of votes
actually received in each state by the
two candidates was just about the
proportion indicated by the straw
vote.

Labor Organization in
America Can Be Traced
to Movement in 1903

Organizations among American Ia
borers began In 1903, when the ship
carpenters and calkers Of New York
and Boston organized. The tailOrs
Of New York formed union the same
year, and 1903 also witnessed the first
Industrial strike in America, when the
New York sailors refused to work.
Before that. however, there had been
labor disturbances among the bakers
Of New York and the boot and shoe
makers of Philadelphia. 1t was dur
ing the sailors strike of 1903, the
Massachusetts shipbuilders' strike of
1917, and the Albany printers strike
CT 1920, that the terms rat" and
"scab" were first used. From local
unions. the organization of labor pro-
crossed until In 1850 the first inter-
rational labor union. that Of the print
trs. was launched.

was held in Chicago in 1867. The Ma
tional Labor union, after meetings In
Boston, Philadelphia and Columbus,
went out of existence In 1874, but at

was revived under other names. Sew
eral organizations divided the aliegi-
ance of organized labor, but In 1881
the Federation Of Organized Trades

and Canada was launched, and out
of this has grown the powerful Amer
