ways been equal to that of any city
the size of Hamilton in the country.
The morning of the day will be
taken up mostly by the various COM
mittees getting everything on the
grounds in shape for the huge crowd
expected to attend. From II o'clock
noon, however, it will be one day of
/ fast and furious entertainment and
/ pleasure for everybody present Every
4 form of amusement and entertainment
/ that could be thought of and devised
I has been secured to help make the
day one long to be remembered For
more than thirty years Labor Day
1 celebrations have been held in this city
and nowhere on scale larger than
those in Hamilton Crowds at past
! celebrations have been estimated as
large as $4,000, and it is expected
that at least this number can be looked
for Monday.
There will be plenty of music, dan
cling on large outdoor platform and
for which large orchestra has been
engaged. Games and contests, for
old as we'll as young are arranged for
and in which handsome prizes will be
awarded the winners; the merry-go-
round and likely ferris wheel will be
there; the balloon man with his whis-
ties, whips and novelties-n fact
everything will be there to make up
an old-time celebration. One thing
won't be there, and that is speechmak-
ing. People don't seem to care for
windjamming on day like Labor Day
They rather go out for celebrating
They want to make a hurrah day of
it and do their own talking if there
is any to be done SO speechmaking
is one of the things that doesn't enter
in the Labor Day celebration program.
The Country Store
One of the real big features of the
day this year, and one that is likely
to rival any of the attractions on the
ground, viii be the country store.
There isn't any doubt about it, what
ever but that this years store will
outdo anything of the kind ever before
attempted on the fairgrounds, bar
none Ray Wunderlch, president of
the Retail Clerks Union, has charge
of this feature, and the members of
his union are backing him up in his
task and supporting him in every way
They say they are going to show the
original fellow who promoted coun-
try stores how to set one up and
run it, The country store for Labor
Day is not to be one of those cheap
looking junk shops to be seen so
often at outings and other affairs, but
will bear the semblance of an immense
department store. Wunderlich waited
on all the trade organizations and
"boned' donations. He was met with
such generous response that he has
scads of money with which to stock
his store. Then too, he has had as
sistants out soliciting the merchants
and others for prizes, until now he has
the union men edging sideways to get
through labor temple, because he has
the place filled with everything imag-
Unable in the way of household goods,
, canned goods, edibles of all kinds
and whatnot. He has also several
goats, poultry of all kinds, furniture
and the devil as they say, only knows
| what he has got. He's got five tons
: of coal donated by various dealers.
{ And coal isn't to be sneezed at these
days; don't forget that. And all this
stuff is to be given away in the coun-
