the I-abor day parade and celebration
to be held in Rock Island this year.
EXTK.VD INVITATION.
An invitation will be extended to
the city officials of the tri-cities to
participate in the parade, and a gen
eral invitation is extended to all busi
ness houses or others desiring to enter
Coats to do so, provided they first re
ceive a permit from the parade com
'imttoe. This action was deemed ne
cessary to prevent a repetition of the
unfortunate termination of ite major
portion of the parade In Moline 15st
year and is consistent with the idea
that the day is dedicated to labor and
its interests and the parade should be
dedicated to labor and its interests
also.

The various committees report grati
fying results an are sparing no efforts
or expense to make this year's cele
bration the greatest ever held in the

together for their general welfare and
advancement, and with this harmony
and good-will prevalent the local as
sociation feels fully justified in mak
ing such elaborate preparations.
The Review Publishing company
was given the contract to publish the
official program and the contract wa3
read and approved.
The committees on grounds, speak
ers, concessions, parade and amuse
ments are all working diligently and

NOT AFRAID OF COFFINS.
Among the Chinese They Are Gladly
Accepted as Present.
Some one who knows Chinese peo
ple very well once told a tnle to show
that they do not permit themselves the
luxury of nerves. She said she had
gone one day. before the Boser riots,
to visit no old lady who lived out 1a
the country far beyond Weinslen.
When the American woman arrived
the old lady was out. but presently she
came in and announced that she had
just been out "watching the men dltf
her grave, but as it began to rain she
had told them to wait for a pleasanter
day." She did not die for years after
that but she had the comforting as
surance that her grave was ready for
her without any unseemly haste when
ever she cared tn occupy It
The same American had the expe
rience of sleeping In a room with: a
very large coffin when she was visiting
a Chinese friend, and the next morning
the old grandfather of the family call
ed her attention to Its excellences and
explained that his son bad made bim a
present of it "Isn't the wood flnej" be
asked admiringly. "It cost a lot of
money." Old people accept such pres
ents as marks of filial love, and not at
nil ns a hint for them to occupy the
coffin. New York Post . .'

In bis final argument while pleading

Relax In the Water. - ;
Lew Sarett explains the difficulty
which the nonswitiuner has tn remain
ing afloat In "The Knack of Learning
to Swim." in Outing, us follow:
"The lionswimiuer, fearing the wa
ter, very naturally tenses his muscles
us he struggles to keep bis head above
the water until be is as hard as a rock,
and. like a rock, he sinks, whereas tbe
swimmer, having no fear, relaxes bis
muscles and bence becomes buoyant.
The explanation Is a simple physical
one. Tense, taut muscles increase the
specific gravity of tbe body and make
it sink In water; loose, relaxed muscles
