ALL FOOLS DAY


The origin of the custom of
April fooling cannot be traced
d with any degree of certainty.
In the literature Of the last
i century there are found many
. references to it, but beyond
\ that it is scarcely possible to
go. One suggestion is that the.
2 custom of playing tricks on the
b first day of April was derived
from some ancient pagan Gus
tom, such as the Hull festival
among the Hindoos, or the Ro-
man Feast of the Fools. a.. g
One fact, however, is known,
and that is that the practice,
prevails in many countries, un-
h der various. names, which ;,
would seeppso ind cate that. 1t

where were assembled men of IN
fluence in various activities, com
mercial and industrial, of larg,
state.
Among the speakers whom | heard
was one who had been travelling over
the state visiting the various asso-
Citations of commerce. There were

This was the thing that impressed
me most: He SAID that nearly ey-
cry one of those organizations had
undergone actual or virtual reorganl-
cation in recent years.
He said there was time when
it was thought that one chief reason
for associations Of commerce was to
raise money to pay bonuses to fac
tories to locate there, and that when
a factory had been lured away from
one town to another by the payment
of larger bonus, the successful
town strutted with new pride and
passed a vote of thanks to the board
of trade or chamber of commerce
that had secured the money and the
factory.
But, that was not the most impor-
tant thing, he said. lie said that
manufacturers, in locating an enter
prise, cared less for any bonus that
was likely to be paid than they did
for good living conditions for their
he said that contented
labor was vastly larger problem
than the securing of 4 casn bonus,
and that one way to secure contented
labor was to proWle good schools
and wholesome LIVING conditions
He said, tnel ara, that now com

This seems to be good news. and
