COUNTRY STORE
IS MOVING UP

The country store for Labor Day is
fast shaping up. Commanding gener-
al-in-charge, Ray Wunderlich, reports
everything moving along swimmingly.
All the organizations before which he
has appeared for donations respond
ed generously until now Ray has a
fat treasury from which to buy some
swell prizes. But more are needed,
and Ray is asking everyone to help
to at least give little something.
He is now soliciting the merchants
and manufacturers and is being warm
ly received and showered with dona-
tions. Among some of the things he
has piled up is ton of coal each from
four different dealers, a goat, three
dozen swell camp chairs (maybe they
won't go fine waiting for the fire
works displayD gross of shoe black
ing, bucket and mop wringer; and, oh,
we'll, it would take more space than
we have to tell it all This PROPOSE
tion was so well considered as worthy
as to be approved by the Chamber
of Commerce sanction board. Ray
hasn't asked the sanction board, as
yet, for its contribution, but no
doubt he will as he overlooks no one.

CONVENTION CALL
For Ohio State Federation
of Labor Has Been
Issued

Secretary Treasurer Thomas J. Don
nelly has issued the official call for
the convention of the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor, to be held at Mans
field, Ohio, beginning at 10 o'clock
Monday morning, September "a. The
convention will continue in session un-
til all business of the convention is
completed. The sessions will be held
in Schuler's dancing academy.
Each local union is entitled to one
representative on the basis of every
hundred members or less, and one ad-
ditional vote for each additional hun
dred or major fraction thereof. Cen
tral labor unions are entitled to one
vote. To be entitled to representa-
ton, per capita tax, including annual
dues, must be paid to September %,
1923.
The credentials committee will
meet in Mansfield one day previous to
the opening of the convention. Sec
retaries are urged to see that dup
licate credentials are filed with Sec
retary Donnelly prior to this date,
and that the original credentials have
been given to the delegates-elect.
The executive board will meet

o'clock, at the Hotel Vonhof, Mans
field, for hearing of complaints,
grievances or other matters that may

resolution adopted at the 1915 con-
vention, which was also held at Mans
field, insisting that delegates shall
have upon their wearing apparel at
least five bona fide union labels.
One of the most important subjects
to come before the convention, and
to which much time is likely to be
devoted, is that pertaining to the
referendum on old-age pensions.

PARTIES IGNORED
POLITICIANS
DISMAYED

Chicago.-At a conference in this
city of representatives of the national
administration party from seven
states, it was sorrowfully acknowl-
edged that party lines are being de-
stroyed" +"
The speakers agreed that voters
have gotten beyond all control of par
ty discipline and that they are no
longer lured by phrases. The usual
alarms about attempts ito overthrow
the government" were raised by few
of the conferees, but the tariff, taxes,
the Daugherty injunction, the high
cost of living and less than 81 that
the farmer receives for his wheat were
acknowledged by the hard-heads to
be major factors in the present dis
regard for party lines. 1t was agreed
that the farmer must be convinced
that he is prosperous, but no patent
process has yet been devised to sur
mount the fact that 81 wheat is here
and the consumer is paying more for
his bread
1t is hoped that the Daugherty rail
road injunction can be explained away
by whirlwind campaign for law and
order, which will stamp every injunc-
tion protester an enemy of American
institutions

TUBERCULOSIS
Infects New Jersey Child
Labor Products

New York.-Child labor is exploit
ed without limit in Jersey cities
across from New York, and disease
laden commodities find their way into
fashionable shops along Broadway
and Fifth avenue, in this city
The big anti-union garment manu-
facturers in this city are the key
stone to this system. They maintain
fiashy show rooms in New York, while
they contract work in homes in Jer-
sey cities where the income is SO low
tender children are forced to labor
for few pennies This work is done
in tenements infected with tuberculo-
sis and other ills.
In Newark, N. J., Mrs Nellie Slay-
back, labor department inspector
states that there are "close to 5000
women in Newark homes alone sewing
on mems suits and overcoats.'
Small children are employed on
women's finery that is found in eX-
elusive shops These children receive
few pennies an hour, lose their child
hood, and they, as well as the COM
modify, becomes infected with tuber-
culosis.
The trade unions are leading in the
fight to suppress this revival of sweat
shops by powerful manufacturers who
have been checked in New York, anc
who are sub-contracting in suburban
localities.
Organized labor is also emphasiz
ing that the only protection the work
ers have is their union, and that the
public can protect itself against dis
ease by buying only union stampec
or labeled commodities.

LABOR DAY

Never was enthusiasm more ram

outings than seems to prevail in this
years committee on arrangements
The general committee meets weekly
while subcommittee can be found in
several of the. meeting rooms in the

is determined that the work assigned
to it is to be carried out to the letter.
The reports of the various commit
tees are most gratifying. The COM
mittee on merry-go-round already re-
ports "All set" Those to look after
the big fireworks display say Nothing
to worry about" but to look out for
the "swellest ever" They say this
years display is to be something diff
ferent from any ever seen on the fair
grounds. No old stage-stock goes
with the 1923 committee. And so it
is all along the line Everybody on
the job; everybody working.

MERCHANTS TO
FIGHT PRISON
MADE CLOTHING

New York.-Retail merchants are
finally aroused to the menace of pri-
son-made clothing Officers of the
associated dress industries of Amer
lea say these merchants have pledged
their support to a nationwide cam
paign for the elimination from public
markets of convictmade goods.
A QUESTIONABLE sent out by this
organization brought complaints
against what was declared IAN unfair
and pnjust competition"
Officers of the organization are
hopeful that the merchants will all
agree to cease buying these goods,
but identification is one of the chief
problems, it is stated, since retailers
often sell such articles without know
ing.

RIALTO NEXT WEEK
Human Wreckage'

A theatrical event of more than
unusual Importance to Butler county
theatregoers is the first Ohio show
ing of Mrs. Wallace Reid's Human
Wreckage,' which opens five-day
engagement at the Rialto theatre,
Hamilton, Sunday, August 10.
SO much has already been said in
the magazines, periodicals and news
papers about the story and the rea-
sons for the making of the picture
that the writer will delf but briefly
into this subject. Human Wreckage''
is not story of Wallace Reid's life,
though it is his spirit which actuated
the production of this, the greatest
moral play ever conceived. The story
itself was constructed, not for the
purpose of reproducing the life of
any individual, but was rather planned
to put over forcefully as many salient
truths as could be logically included
in compact film, without injuring
it's value of entertainment.
The play is entertaining-not in a
light, frothy sort of way, to be sure,
but in its power to absorb, to strive
to teach, superbly acted by an all
star cast which includes Mrs. Wallace
Reid, James Kirkwood, Bessie Love,
George Hackathorne, Claire McDow-
ell, Robert McKim, Victory Bateman
and others.
Manager Schwalm, of the Rialto,
has requested that his patrons for this
picture try to see it from the very

Friday and Saturday-Tom Mix and
His Horse "TOny" in his Latest
Picture 'sThrae Inmns Aheadn

Picture, 'Three Jumps Ahead
Every Tom Mix picture provides at
least one new and distinct thrill for
the entertainment and amusement of
movie fans The resourceful and ever
original "stunt artist" of the screen
never fails his admirers who can
always expect breezy, thrilling
screen film narrative. Without any ex-
ceptions the stunts performed by Tom
Mix in his latest William Fox pic
ture, "Three Jumps Ahead" which
will be shown at the Rialto for two
days, commencing Friday, August "a,
at the Rialto theatre, are the most
daring ever attempted before the
camera.
In this latest story of the Western
plains, Mix mounted, leaps canyon
twenty feet wide and ninety feet
deep, undoubtedly the longest and
most daring leap ever performed by
screen star.
In the picture which is built
around band of cattle rustlers, Mix
is pursuing stage coach in which
the leader of the band is riding. To
throw off pursuit the rustler has a
bridge over deep canyon destroyed
after the coach has passed over safe
ly. Mix rides up to the canyon and,
after taking a short run back for a
good start, successfully forces his
horse over the chasm and continues
the chase

Count Tolstoy is Arm opponent
of the Bolshevist government in Rus

Count Tolstoy is an excellent

fluently. He has written some OF
his best works in English. His
books have been published in many
countries, and he has contributed
to the best of the American maya

POOR CHILD'S
CHANCE LESS
Emma Putney of Valley City
Sees Rich Child Having
Better Opportunity

"a well to do child has a much
better advantage of success than a
poor child" said Emma Putney, Val
ey City in speaking on "Some Social
and Economic Relationships of the
Home" before the North Dakota Ed
ucation convention.
''He has good education, family
pulls and has fairly large inpme
before he gets married." she declar-
ed and continued in part:
''His children will get the same
good schooling and everything he
got. The poor. child gets little edu-
cation. no family pulls, and marries
before he has an adequate income.
Children are born before the par
ents are mature and generally there
are quite a number. He has little
schooling, but is soon needed at
home and lin the end follows his
fathers footsteps" I
She pointed out that over mil.
lion children of tender age were
working and that in New Jersey it
was learned that over 1000 Children
were doing contract labor at home
under sweat shop conditions. 1t was
found that many Of these children
were tubercular.
The speaker pointed out that the
poor must of necessity buy their
necessities Of life-in small quantities
and as result pay the highest
prices for them. Even their pleas
ures cost them more, it was said,
Iproportionately, than do those of the
rich. She said that the relationship
between wages and standard Of liv-
ing is what education plus wages will
| raise standards.
