LABOR DAY
by E. P. Conwell)

Forty-four years ago next Monday
the first celebration of Labor Day was
held. 1t consisted of a parade of the
Knights of Labor in New York City.
Since then ii has become a legal hOli-
day throughout the nation, one of the
great days of celebration by the Amer
lean people.
During the past forty-four years
Labor Day has been an occasion for
the celebration of the steady and in
spring progress of the wage Garner.
Looking back from 1926, compare the
conditions of labor today with those of
1882; consider the laws passed for the
protection of the wage earner's life,
limbs and health; for the recognition
and defense of his rights to organize,
protect his rights, and advance his in
terests. Under their sanction, organ
lied labor has become one of the great
forces of the republic.
It's associations are growing in
wealth and broadening their Influence
in our industrial and social affairs
Being made up of infallible human be-
ings, like all other institutions, they
have been the agents of human pro
gress and are honored by all thinking
and right minded Americans.
During it's history Labor has had
some great leaders not the least of
whom was that premier statesman,
diplomat and patriot, Samuel Gompers.
II has a great and good leader now in
the person of John Lewis and William
Green.
In peace and war the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and its membership
have come forward Loyalty and pat
riotically to the defense Of the nation.
Its personnel is made up in most part
Of red booded, high minded men who
know their duties as well as their
rights. The very principles on which
it was founded and on which it is
maintained make for discipline and fl
deity to duty. It's high aim is to re-
tain the rich legacy Of liberty and
progress it has inherited from Amer-
cas- past.
So Labor Day will continue to mean
to the wage Garner and to all Of us, a
great American holiday. In such a
celebration we can all join, for we are
all workers, and a failure to recognize
the insignficence of what it stands
for would tend to sacrifice the great
gains the labor movement has made
for all of us and surrender its and our
sound hopes of continuing advance.

Good Crops

They will begin threshing down in
the Weast district next week. Much
of the land in that community is I'M
der the ditch but there is Il consider
able amount of it that isn't. 1t made
little difference this year for there are
splendid crops and wheat will yield all
the way from 20 to 80 bushels to the
acre.
Shane Ridge is partially in that dis
trict and it is doubtful if more bounti-
full crops have ever been raised there
than are being harvested there this
year. Sometimes there have been
crop failures there-total failures
but the farmer in the northwestern
part of this county refuse to believe
that it's a good plan to give way to
despair and this year is proof that it
pays to stay.
There are in fact no dry land ranch
ers in Carbon County now. Ordinarily
there are sufficient rains good crops
in all parts of it whether irrigated or
not but congratulations are particu-
larly due the Weast district farmer at
the close of the 1926 season for his
persistence and success.
If you need to borrow any money
don't go to the bank. JIsst hit up, at
random, any farmer or rancher out in
that Weast neighborhood and he'll let
you have it.

Chance


When the angels of the Lord had
laid out and completed their survey of
the second paradise on earth-which
| think the happy cherubim and SER
aphim named Carbon County-they
rested under the cool spreading shade
of the majestic trees and bathed in
the crystal waters of a beautiful
stream. Discussion arose as to what
name the places should bear and it
was finally decided to call the river
Clark Fork and the particular To-
cality where they then were, Chance.
Well pleased with their work,
though loath to leave, they took a
long breath of the perfume of the flow
ers, spread their wings in the mellow
air and mounted upward toward the
skies.
The historian plays big part in the
worlds affairs and his chief reward is
i'll the consolation he gets in straight
ening out such tangles as Just how
such rivers as the Clark Fork and
such towns as Chance get their pecul-
lar names, so there you are.
The Nile Valley cannot compare
with the upper Clark Fork when it
comes to real fertility. They can and
do raise everything there that reas-
enable citizen needs and in that Sec
ton around Chance crop failures are
unknown. It is needless to dwell at
length on the people who make up its
citizenship. There are none better.
Suffice to say they are mostly all hard
boiled Republicans and when they
tire of earth and long for still fairer
land than is found about Chance they
need but to put their affairs in order,
fasten on their wings, bid a temporary
adieu to their friends and take the
same route upward as was followed by
the angels, without tire trouble or
change of cars.
