failed ten times, most of the failures
being fair weather when rain was pre-

The Decatur Republican clamors for
an ordinance prohibiting the boys from
using firecrackers and characterizes
them as ''stinking little bombs" Andy
must have forgotten the days when he
was young He will make enemies of
all the boys and then he will find life a
burden indeed. The NORTHERNER
wants to be friendly with the boys
and the girls too, for that matter-and
therefore protests against curtailing
the rights of Young America" rights
that are as old as the Fourth of July
itself. By all means, let the boys and
girls have their firecrackers and burn IA
little gunpowder. 1t only tends to in
crease their patriotism. What would
this country be without a Fourth of
July, and what would Fourth of July
be without firecrackersy Fire away,
boys and girls, and the NoRTHERNER
will stand up for your rights and, may
hap, shoot n cracker or two on its own
account
