LABOR DAY PICNIC
COMMITTEE

At the last meeting held by the
COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor Coun-
ell last week the Labor Day picnic
committee was appointed by Presi-
dent Lee Inman.
Heretofore the committee has al
ways been appointed in June, but this
year it was deemed advisable to Sc
lect the committee a little early in
the year, for the purpose Of giving the
membership more time to make the
arrangements.
The committee selected for the 1882
celebration of Labor Day is as fol-
lows:
Lee Inman, chairman.
George BRANDED, secretary.
Chas. Chapen, treasurer.
Amusements-Stanley Ogg, George
BRANDED, Chas. Baynes, Ike Jarrett
and Chas. Hosea.

meeting held here under the direction
of organized labor and with the sup
port of the American Legion, the
Woman's Organization for National
Prohibition Reform and other organ
izations.
More than 5000 persons crowded
the Ryman auditorium to hear the
prohibition law attacked by Mrs.
Marian Booth Kelly, of New York,
former suffrage worker and represen-
tative of the Woman's Organization
for National Prohibition Reform;
Representative Ralph Horr, of Sc

president of the American Federation
of Labor and president of labor's ma
tional committee for modification of
the Volstead act Mr.. Woll made the
principal address, which was loudly
applauded as he scored hit after hit
against the present law.
Fitzgerald Hail. vice president and
general counsel of the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis railway, pre-
sided, and in calling the gathering to
order, said that there were three out
standing questions confronting the
American people today. He said:
'The first is the economic depression;
the second is prohibition; and the
third is law enforcement The first
has some relation and the last very
intimate relation to the second. Pro-
hibition, from whatever angle you
may view it, is difficult problem, and
the best way to solve it is for the
people to listen to a dispassionate
discussion of the facts"
Dry Law Born of Threat
Representative Horr insisted the
prohibition law was born of threat
and declared lot of similar legisla-
ton is being enacted in the galleries
of congress, where the dry lobby
raises its hand for an "aye" vote and
lowers its hand for may vote.

Corn's Origin Unknown

The cereal variously known as
maize, Indian corn or simply corn is
undoubtedly a native of some part cf
the New world, although kernels of
corn found in ancient ruins at Athens
and representations resembling corn
plants in ancient Chinese books have
led some to believe that this cereal
may have been indigenous to Asia also
Some botanists believe that maize was
developed from the heavy-seeded grass
known as tosinte, but the wild progeni-
tor Of corn has not been identified for
