ment by the town council. including
six rubber coats. some fire hose and
chemical accessories.
The fair tscrd had offered to give
the firemen the job OF policing the
fair and the proposition was dis

THE HOLYOKE TOURIST
CAMP BUSIEST PLACE
IN TOWN NOW DAYS
DURING MONTH OF AkNE 375
CARS THAT cAMPED SAY
IT IDEAL PLACE
Local Rest Camp for Weary Traveller
Used by Great Numbers Travel
ing National Highway from
East to West

The Holyoke tourist camp has been
q very popular spot this summer.
Every day brings its quota OF dusty,
weary travellers from the east or
west. During the month of June
about 375 cars camped there and un-
doubtedly that number has been
tr1pled since then. The Thompson
and Smithson families, who live In
the old school building. have had
many humorous and pathetic Incl
dents brought to their attention this
summer. There was party Of two
sisters and two brothers from Ne
braska City that passed through not
long ago. They had just one week
In which to see the West. and 20
started out Of the camp about $3.50
one morning, leaving their washing
on the line. Mrs. Thompson cared
for It and watched to see il they
would return. The following Sunday
brought them back and of course
much pleased to find their washing.
Sometimes the rain plays great

downpour brought thirty people into

little children and an insane woman.
The tourists were obliged to spend
the night in the building. 'ts
Automobiles Of every size, shape
and age, with and without "trailers,"
have been in camp. A great many
cars have dog as a passenger. The
cars with the children are most often
the merriest. Some of them come
from the eastern coast and some
from the west but all eager for an
outing. As a rule. they are well
pleased with the Accommodation
they md here. several saying that
Holyoke has the best camp between
here and Omaha. Occasionally. =
"knocker" drives in. but he usually
turns out 10 be the fellow who has
had some !. car. trouble before sk6
reached town. 80. 80. .s,s,s,.,..,..
Sometimes fcnds run snort and tho
party stays over until money u re-
ceived. Opinions as TO the cost Of
auto trips seem to differ. Some ~
lieve It an inexpensive way to travel
and others are not quite SO satisfied.
Undoubtedly. those who are forum
ate enough to have little trouble with
their cars. are the optimists.
The camps location near the
school house. with its beautiful lawn
and trees. gives the tourist a GOOD
impression OF Holyoke and speaks
well for the progress and hospitality
OF the town.

AoLvokE's MUNICIPAL BAND.

Editor Herald.
Our band is at Grant this week
playing for the four days fair at that
place. The Grant people are awake
to the fact that Prof. Bunch has a
fine musical organization, as evil
denced by the return engagement
this year., Last year the boys played
for the Grant fair and merit had its
own reward in the unemployment
this year.
Certainly Holyoke should be proud
OF the record the band is making
and give it every support. Few peo-
pie outside the members and those
actually interested in band realize
what it means to town and COM
munity to have such band. And
yet. when we think Of the few en-.

without band or orchestra and OBJ

Another shipment Of Ford cars,
seven in number, arrived in Holyoke,
at Bruce's Service garage on Tues.
day. and by Wednesday all were sold
with the exception Of one of them.
Brace tells us that IL he could get
all the Fords he could sell, it would
not be safe for the pedestrian around
Holyoke, as the demand for Fords is
much greater than he can supply.
Bruce is evidently situated like the

many PLANTS CLOSED down
Employment at Low Ebb January 1,
Says Department of Labor.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE customary
closing down of many plants to take
inventories and seasonal fluctuation
resulted in the employment of Al per
cent fewer persons on January than
on December 1, in manufacturing in
dustries, it became known today with
the issuance of the monthly survey of
the United States department of labor
It was pointed out, however. that
this is an encouraging and not a dis
oouraging sign, for altho unemploy-
ment Increased such is the case in the
most prosperous times at this season
of the year.
Comparison of the per cent of in
crease for the last month of 1921 with
the corresponding month in previous
years shows that the rate of increase
is apparently smaller than usual.
Reports to the department of labor
from 231 principal centers show un-
employment increasing in the agricul-
tural section, which is natural at this
time of the year. But from the man
ufacturing centers, the survey states,
reports are encouraging and optimis-
tic as to immediate improvement in
business activity.
