OF THE DAY
BIRDS AND FRUIT

People who want to wage war against
birds. because OF the tribute they levy
ion crops should remember the expert
ence of Frederick the Great in Prussia.
Annoyed by the depredations OF spar
rows in his cherry trees. he gave or
ders that the sparrows should be ex-
terminated throughout his realm. The
people cheerfully acquiesced, and there
was a great slaughter.
A year or two later the ruler and ms
subjects found that here was very
little fruit OF any kind, because armies
OF insects were stripping the trees OF
their leaves. Frederick had TO order
the importation OF sparrows at great
expense, and after a few years the
fruit trees were bearing again as usual
This is a lesson that is being driven
home, to farmer and public continually
by American entomologists and bird
lovers. backed by the Department oil
Agriculture. II is found that with very
few exceptions, the birds. benefit the
crops more than they damage them,
because they keep down the bugs and
worms which otherwise would work
greater destruction.
There are experts who Insist that
II is a mistake to kin any kind OF birds,
because they all have their usefulness
to man in natures delicately balanced
scheme. In ordinary instance, at any
rate, II is plain wisdom, as well as de
cency, to let the birds have their pay
without grudging. for the good work
they do.-Durqnt Democrat.

Labor Day

Labor Day was observed officially
for the first time in 1882. The celebra-
ton was decided on by the Central
Labor Union, in New York City.
The first Monday in September seems
to have been chosen because 1t was
toward the end of the summer that
the idea was suggested, and that was
the earliest convenient date.
The union made its plans without
any precedents to go by, but II made
them very well indeed, and the cele-
bration proved to be a gratifying sue.

pirate public speakers followed.
Everybody was so well satisfied that
the Central Union adopted resolutions
soon afterward, In favor OF. similar

tember regularly every year. May / is
Labor Day in most Old World coun-
tries and in South America, but Labor
in the United States has stuck to the
choice originally made by the Central
Union in New York, from that day TO
this.
In 1884 the American Federation OF
Labor made the celebration its own
and 1t became national
Approved By Congress.
1t had no legal standing, however
until 1887. when the various states, one
after another. began TO adopt 1t as q
statutory holiday. They did not all
name the first Monday in September,
but most Of them did. and In 1894 con.
gress passed bill making Labor Day
an occasion for the whole country TO
observe.
The workers celebration OF 40 years
ago represented the high spirits of
American Labor's youth. Today II

MINSTREL SHOWS

1NpOut AHiS tiiiiS VI ySai, iOAs dSO
he old home town was electrified
by billboards announcing that
minstrel show would open the win
ter season at the Opera House.
This was the custom in nearly
every town. 1t was a mystery that
has never been solved, how there
were enough minstrel shows to go
around.
Among the cherished thrills OF
memory, one of the greatest was
the moment when the audience
sat in darkness, the footlights flash
ed on for the first act, and behind
the curtain rose a plantation mel
ody sung by the entire company.
Do you remember when your
boyhood ambition was to be the
drum major of minstrel parade, or
to rattle the bones as an end-man
and crack the joke about the mule
that kicked mother-in-law in the
jaw?
Second choice was to be the in
terlocutor, whose delicious exist
ence reached its climax with,

Of theatricals that can be claimed as

The immortal Billy Birch - of
Birch, Wimbald & Backus Min
strels-said the first minstrel act
was in the Federal Street theater
in Boston, 1879, when a comedian
named Young "blacked up and
sang The Gay Negro Boy"
The first real minstrel show was
Dan Emmetts Virginia Minstrels
which took the road in 1912
Old-timers will remember Dad
iy' Rice, Primrose and West,
George Christy. Gus Howard, The
Great Eugene and other famous
burnt-cork artists who made the
minstrel show a great American
institution.
The minstrel show was train
ing school from which graduated
hundreds OF the greatest Ameri-
can actors.
1t seems to be a vanishing insti-
tuition, not that its popularity has
waned, but because burnt-cork
genius isn't permitted 10 work long
