Another year has rolled by and

readiness for the big annual celebra
tion of Labor Day, which takes place
at the Butler County fairgrounds on
next Monday. This will be the thir
ty-fifth annual celebration to be held
under the auspices of the Hamilton
Co-operative Trades and Labor Coun

complete and with good weather it is

iiHg will surpass all previous attempts
by local organized labor. It is expect
ed with the splendid program prepared
fey the committee that the largest
CfoWd ever assembled on the fair
grounds on Labor Day will be attract
Ki there next Monday. It 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

iSgjre and amusement on the part of lo
tffcl labor and friends.

Fairgrounds To Be Scene of Activities.
Program Includes Band Concerts,
Dancing, Running Races, Vaudeville,
loons and other things to help make it
a regular county fair day.
Gates Open at 9 a. m.
While, since the abandonment of the
early morning parade a few years
back, there isn't much doing before
the noon hour, the morning being
taken up in \the preparation for the
big things which come later in the day,
the committee will throw open the
gates at 9 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 a 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
noon hour on there will not be a dull
moment, something moving all time
up to when the lights are darkened
late in the evening. There is plenty
of parking space for the thousands
of autos expected and the Boy Scouts
*will again be on the job to direct traf
fic and guard the machines.
Music Galore.
For the lovers of good music, Pro
fessor Shoupe, who, with his famous
band has again been engaged, has pre
pared two splendid programs which
will be rendered afternoon and even
ing. Professor Shoupe, who sure does
know his Bermudas when it comes to
making up programs of music that
prove pleasing to all classes, has been
preparing and rehearsing his boys
many weeks in anticipation of ren
dering the Labor Day celebration con
certs and he gives assurance that none
will be disappointed who come to hear
his band.
In addition to the band, the com
mittee has engaged one of the best
orchestras in the city to furnish the
dance music. No lame-duck affair that

big free acts afternoon and evening.
The acts include Williams & Bernice,
known as one of the biggest and best
aerial trombolene acts in the country
"Fearless Carlo" in hair-raising stunts
on the perpendicular ropes. He climbs
ropes upside down as easy as an ex
pert would climb the right way. "New
boles" the clever comedian, in leaping
forward somersaults, going over dif
ferent objects and men while doing a
complete revolution in the air, will be
another big act. The vaudeville acts
are said to be the highest class pos
sible to obtain.
In addition to the above will be
shown Williams & Bernice's $5,000
Eskimo dog, known as the "Dog with
human mind." He will be shown in
a routine of difficult canine feats. He
has been exhibited all over the country
and acclaimed by many the smartest
dog ever shown. This will be a spe
cial treat for the children and all
should be given an opportunity to see
him.
Running Races.
One of the big afternoon attractions,
one that will bring thousands of out
of-town visitors, is the running races
under the auspices of the Hamilton
Jockey Club which is now conducting
races daily at the fairgrounds track.
It was thought first that these races
would interfere with giving the Labor
