BY JOHN sNURE. Jr.

The boys up at the Senate
press gallery will miss Martin
Kain this year.
For Martin has retired after
80 years of service at the Capi-
tol, where he gained the great.
est number of friendships q
telegrapher ever had.
He was from Painted Post,
N. Y, and in that neighbor-
hood learned telegraphy.
In the years since he first
tapped key, many a flyer
has been given the right Of
way, many a freight has been
Shunted onto a siding in re-
sponse to messages he relayed.
In recent years he managed
the wires Of the Postal Tele-
graph Company at the Senate
gallery. He attended political
conventions, he was present
at inaugurations and other
great events to make it certain
that messages were properly
dispatched.
His responsibility was to SUI
perviSe the task Of sending to
all parts of the nation that
which is news, the common
place item and the sensational
revelation.
They will miss Martin with
his huge black hat, which he
always wore, and the black
cigar from which the ashes
perpetually dropped.
He retired on the day before
Congress convened; the first
he has missed in 80 years!

OUR LABOR DAY EDITION

The Butler County Press, by this
means, sincerely thanks it's many ad-
-vertisers for their generous patronage
and cooperation which makes possi-
BILE the issue of this successful La
Dor Day edition. They are indeed de-
serving of the support and good will
of all organized labor and it's friends.
By their cooperation they assist
those who toll in an indirect way by
making it possible for this paper to be
of service to the workers. Persons
and firms using our paper for adver-
tising are showing interest in our
cause and express friendship for the
wage earners. Therefore, the worker
should first look through the columns
of our Labor Day edition before MAX
ing purchases, and give friendly firms
preference. AS organized workers,
you can readily see the value of re-
ciprocity, which goes to show that the
advertisers in the Press should get
the benefit of the purchasing power Of
organized workers in Hamilton and
the surrounding territory.
Again, Mr.. Advertiser, we thank
you for your cooperation, and trust
that there will be a great increase
in your sales during the year ahead.

tember a national holiday, honoring
the working folk of America.
Labor Day observance assumes
many guises, ranging from the more
dignified one of speechmaking to the
jubilant care-freeness of picnics and
the picturesqueness of dress parade,
with martial music stirring the steps
and the hearts of the marchers.
Before a day was legally set aside
as Labor Day, however, celebrations
were held by labor. The first Labor
Day celebration was sponsored by the
labor movement in New York city and
was held there on September S, 1882.
The news story in the New York Her.
aid the following day, describing the
enthusiasm of the various trades
which participated in the parade, is
reproduced in this issue Of the Journal
Here's a toast to Labor Day, 1884,
and to the thousands of working folk
who will get together on that day to
do honor to the ideals, purposes and
accomplishments of the labor move

The news story in the New York
Herald, September 6, 1883, referred
to above by the Molders' Journal, also
appears in this issue of the Press, and
should prove of much interest to every
union man and woman reading it.

THE CLAIM FOR SHORTER HOURS

The prolonged inactivity of large
sections of every industrial popula-
ton has had the curious effect Of
workpeople making economic de-
mands in a period of depression,
rather than, in the usual industrial
idiom, making them in periods of
prosperity.
The demands for shorter hours are
being made at once as measure of
spreading employment instead Of con-
centrating employment in few hands
and leaving large mass constantly
unemployed, and also because work
people to an increasing extent are
coming to believe that improvements
in business and industrial technique
ought to result in their sharing the
advantages along with others of the
population.
One Of these advantages is leisure
for recreation, for study and for the

LABOR'S OWN DAY

Plans are afoot for nationwide
celebration of Labor Day on Septem-
ber 3, and on Labor Sunday, Septem-
ber 2, laboring folk will wend their
way churchward to hear the labor SER
mons which ministers of the gospel
will preach.
Labor does well to celebrate it's own
day in it's own way. New problems
have come labor's way during the past
year under the national recovery act,
and SO have new benefits. Chief of
these benefits, perhaps, is an enlight-
ened public opinion regarding labor's
rights and aims. What constitutes
fair practice in industry is now the
subject of national scrutiny. Section
Ia of the recovery act states in no un-
certain terms labor's right to bargain
collectively through representatives
of it's own choosing, and although this
right is being violated by many anti
union-minded employers, the govern
nent is on record as declaring it to be
an inviolable right.
Recognizing the Importance Of la
Dor to the life of the nation, congress
in 1894 made the first Monday in Sep

WHAT is PROSPERITY?
overwhelming

For years the United States, like
other countries, measured it's pros
perity by the size of its balance of
trade" The idea was that we were
selling to foreign countries immensely
more than we were buying from them,
and therefore we were getting rich.
But we were not getting rich. In
stead, we were impoverishing our own
people, reducing their standard Of liv-
ing, while we shipped billions of dol
lars worth Of goods to foreign Gus
toners who gave us nothing but their
LO.U.'s.
George N. Peak, special adviser to
President Roosevelt on foreign trade
and manufacturer Of wide expe-
rience, tells the story in a special re-
port which he sent to the White
House.
During the last 38 years, according
to Mr.. Peak, we have failed by $22,-
645, ,OOO, 900 to balance our interna-
tional accounts. Probably 80 per cent
Of that vast sum will never be paid.

search for foreign markets, we had

enjoyment of those things which
largely constitute civilization. Unfor.
tunately in the consideration of the
40-hour Week Convention by the In
ternational Labor Conference at Ge-
neva, the British government seems
always to be opposed to any claim of
this description, and to side with it's
masters, the employers, who, like the
Bourbons of old, seem to forget moth
ing and to learn nothing.
Even enlightened employers like
Lord Trent, in whose factory the FIVE
day week of 40 hours has been insti-
tuted, evidently with success, thinks
this a matter for the industries them
selves rather than for government de-
cree in fulfillment of international
conventions. But progress has always
come in double harness, when enlight-
enment has experimental; and COM
pulsion has been laid upon the back
ward.
The claim for shortening hours is
overwhelming.

The Hay Diet
New Way to Vibrant Health.
BY WILLIAM HOWARD HAY. M. ID.

When We have ceased to create the
usual amount Of this irritating debris,
then the body starts in at once TO re-
gain as fast as possible the normal
balance between acids and alkalis.
Whatever disease is present begins at
once to decline. and given time enough
every trace of disease will disappear
and the system will regain the normal.
To recover from disease is merely
to stop causing 1t. Its cause being al-
then recovery consists in the resdiust-
ment that the body alone can make
when freed from the handicap Of auto
intoxication. And we may hasten this
denouement by the harmless use Of
the purge, the sweat, the enema and
diet restricted for time to the wholly
alkaline foods, such as vegetables, SAL
ads, fruits and perhaps milk or but
termilk.
To stop the use Of the cid-forming
foods for time, and afterward to ar
range the diet so as to create but little
acid ashes is to do all that can be done
for the body in its effort to return to
normal. And it is always enough If
the vitality has not yet declined so far
as to make Of this effort to return to

Letters
BY EMILY POST.

"nEAR MRS. POST: would like to
send book to girl whose fam
lily entertained me for several weeks
last Summer. Shall I write my mes
sage in the front Of the book or in
close a separate note?"
Answer-Write in the book, unless
your message is SO personal that you
don't want every one to read 1t. In
this case inclose q note.
MY dear Mrs. Post: We used half
OF garage owned by friends for three
weeks last Summer, which made it
necessary for them to leave their older
car outside. When time came to leave,
my husband wanted to pay, but they
would not hear Of it. I remember
hearing the husband say that he must
have business cards made up. Would
this be something we could send him
to show a little appreciation?"
Answer-Nothing could be better
than to choose something you know
he wants. But as 1t is too disappoint-
ing to be given the wrong thing, it
would be sensible to have a design
made and show 1t to him before you
have the plate engraved, or the cards
printed.
Dear Mrs Post: Two brothers stayed
with us for week last Summer. Their
family had cottage next to ours last
year, but could not afford it again.
I didn't know these boys very well, but
we were glad to have them spend
their holiday with us. Neither one has
written any thank-you letter since 60
ing home, two months ago, and mother
will not let me write until they do.
don't want to lose their friendship
especially the one boy. I'm sure he
doesn't mean to be rude, so what
may I do?"
Answer-They ought to have written
a note to your mother, Of course. And
since your mother will not let you
write, don't know what you can do,
unless friend sends q postcard for
you, saying that none of you have
heard word from them.
Dear Mrs. Post: I spent several
weeks with people who gave me the
best vacation I've ever had. And !
was so excited when got on the train
that it pulled out without my saying
any last-minute thanks. Please help
me write note which also explains
this"
Answer-Write: There were many
things meant to say before the train
left. But in the excitement Of that
last minute at the station, had such
lump in my throat that I forgot
everything except that it was all over
You were so wonderful to me, I can
never possibly forget 1t. And do
thank you again for everything. AZ
fectionately, Mary"

I ever knew" The comments are
made one by one, and every one in
the room listens to them. Then the
girl comes back. She says: Il under
stand you were all talking about me
and retailed some gossip. What did
you hear?" The person addressed must
repeat something said by some other
person in the group. She does not
give any identifying name. She may
say: Il heard some one say that she
wishes her teeth were as white as
yours" The person who has been out
Of the room tries to pin that statement
on the person who made it. If she
Identifies 1t correctly, that person
leaves the room, only to be goSsiped
over In turn.
Another game Is called "Are you
psychic" This can be played only
once in the evening unless more than
one person Is sent out Of the room
at the start, for any one staying in the
room learns the trick. 1t Is agreed by
all that when q persons comes in,
they will sit perfectly silent. The
girl Is brought in blindfolded. Moth
ing is said. She begins TO grow un-
easy. Soon she begins to talk. No
answer, but one girl is writing down
everything the victim says. After a
suitable length Of time the girl Is
unblindfolded, and the remarks she
made are read back to her. 1t Is amaz-
ing to hear the insane remarks that a
person who is all at sea and some
what fiustered will make.
