has Impressed upon all who took
pirt In this year's celebration, the
desirability of more thorough prep
aration next year. And the common
decision on the purl of all concerned
has been to begin now for next year's
Labor Day. It. was not. through a
lark of Interest that more prepara
tion was not made this voir but. to
the fad. that, people were so busy
that they forgot, about the day till
only a short time remained before
