back, there isn't much doing before
the noon hour, the morning being
taken up in Nthe preparation for the
big things which come later in the day,
the committee will throw open the
gates at 8 a. m. This is done for the
benefit of the many who always enjoy
filling their baskets and with their
families and friends partake of their
lunch on the grounds and make full
day of it. And what finer place can
there be found for spending the whole
day than at the Butler County fair
grounds. There is plenty of shade
benches and tables, good water and
protection from bad weather and every
convenience desired. If one doesn't
care to bother with preparing lunch
this can be purchased right on the
grounds, sandwiches of all kinds, pies
coffee, fruit, ice cream, soft drinks
and other things wanted
! While, as stated, there is not much
stirring in the morning hours, from

many men and women Of long expe-

they have expended in planning and
preparing for the big event they are
deserving of the support of every un-

All arrangements are practically
complete and with good weather it is
believed Mondays celebration and out
ing will surpass all previous attempts
by local organized labor 1t is expect
ed with the splendid program prepared
by the committee that the largest
crowd ever assembled on the fair
grounds on Labor Day will be attract
ed there next Monday. 1t might be
added right here that it takes many
men and much help to care for such
crowd as is expected Monday and the
committee urgently requests that all
good union men and women offer their
services for part of the day, that the
visitors may be properly cared for.
There will be no speech making. In
these days people learn all they want
to know by reading good newspapers,
magazines and periodicals. Monday
will be given over to a day Of pleas

 Lieut.. Leigh Wade of American around -the-world flyers:-"I prefer to believe they are still alive but realize it is slender hope. fear floating ice or heavy winds have brought about destruction of their plane"
 Capt Robert Bartlett, Polar ex- plorer of more than S5 years ex- perience: "A silence of a month or even six weeks does not necessarily mean that these two adventurers have lost their lives" -,.t
 Captain Ives Thomas. captain of the steamship Paris:-'I hardly be- lieve they will be found a.:ve."
 R. A. Paulin, purser of the Paris and comrade of Nungesser in the war:-"Nungesser's star has not set yet. He bears a charmed life"
 Lieut.. Guy Envin. French army officer:-"One should not give up hope for them so soon. Nungesser himself said not to worry until a month has passed"
 Colonel Francesca De Pinedo. the Italian ace:-I believe the two Frenchmen are stranded on some small island on this side of the At- lantic. waiting for help.
 Commander Richard Byrd. first aviator to circle the north pole:-"I believe their failure was due to en- zine trouble.'
 Major Herbert pargue, just re- turned from the army good will flight 10 South America: - Nun. gesser and Coli are alive and will be saved. I base my faith on their ability 10 surmount difficulties"
