ABOR day thi9 year marks the thirtieth anniver sary of its observance in America, or, rather, Sept. 5 does, 9ince the first Monday in September, 1882, fell on the 5th. The great organization at that time was the Knights of Labor, and Terence V. Powderly was general master workman. P. J. McGuire, then and later secretary of the carpenters, is generally credited with being; the founder of Labor day. At any rate, he was one of the most ardent advocates of the movement and prevailed on the Central Labor union of New York city to order the first celebration. The Knights of Labor were 9 THt 0iZ hm 1 r1 i ,1? sW-fei wm jit , . isfefla , jll 4 W S ! a . i TO , J .j. t naif W l fc mt 9 ' i a liiiSlll llBI . i i uieu aotuing uieir gen eral assembly in New York and adjourned to witness the parade, which was reviewed by Pow derly and their other general officers. Not all the assemblies in New York were represented in the parade, which was a baby compared to some of those held later, but it was suffi ciently large to arouse the enthusiasm of the Knighu. Powderly said that 20,000 men were in line. Robert Price, a coal miner attending the convention, was especially impressed. Richard Griffiths was then general worthy foreman of the Knight9. Price watched the ranks march by until he could contain himself no longer. Turning to Griffiths, he slapped the wojrthy foreman on the back and cried: "Well, Uncle Dick, this is Labor h day, all right, isn't it ?" It may be that the May day parades in Europe had given rise to the name of Labor day before, but so far as known that parade marked the first general use of the term in America. Several overheard the remark, and the name stuck; also the time the first Monday in September. One of those who overheard was George K. Lloyd of the New York Central La bor union, and he made a motion that another parade be held the next year, which was done. He and others moved on the New York legislature to have Labor day made a holiday, which was also done, only it did not get through till 1887. General Master Workman Powderly put the Labor day provision through the Knights of Labor and Mr. McGuire had it adopted by various trade unions. The first state legislature to make Labor day a legal holiday was that of Oregon, although the day fixed was not the first Monday in September, the act being amended later to designate that day. This was in February, 1SS7. The Colorado legislature shortly followed that of Oregon. Then New Jersey, New York and other states got into line until now practically every state in the I'nion has followed suit. In congress a bill to make Labor day a legal holiday in the District of Columbia was intro duced by AmOl I Cumtningt in the house and by Senator J. E. Kvle of South Da- v s kota in the senate Later it was pressed by John J. O'Neill, chairman of the house labor committee, and iu 1394 was passed. Thus labor came into its own.

It takes a nood fudge of values to do that, but if there is one sure rule in business it is you pay for all you get. You may not be able to see the difference between engines of similar appearance at different prices, but if you buy from a reputable rinn you may be sure the difference in quality is there. I H C Gil and Gasoline Engines cost more than some others because they are more carefully made, and more thoroughly tested. Skillful designing, better material, better workmanship, more careful assembling, and more thorough testing, tell in the long run. Given eqtnu care an l H c engine costs less per year of service than any other engine you can buy. If an I H C engine is given all the work it will do, pumping, sawing wood, running the grindstone, feed grinder, hay press, ilage cutter, repair shop machines, cream si-parator, churn, washing machine, etc., etc., . will pay for itself in a very short time in money and labor saved.
