Reckord's Fertilizer Considered the Best,

CHURCHvILLE, July Is, 1927 bought my
farm from w. L. Coale. He had corn planted
with Reckord's Fertilizer in the hill. We
raised good crop. He followed the corn with
wheat-good wheat-using Reckord's Fertili-
ger. Following the wheat he had a splendid
yield of grass in which the corn hills planted
three years before were plainly seen, each
check row very plain, showing the lasting
quality of your fertilizer. Your fertilizer is
considered the best in this locality.

Two of the cannon which, it is be-
lieved, were at one time mounted on
board Christopher Columbus flag
ship, were received at Chicago recent
ly. The cannon are of the ancient
and clumsy pattern of such guns turn
ed out in the fifteenth century.
Nothing but the body of the
the guns remains, the woodwork, of
course, having rotted away centuries
ago. The guns themselves are almost
worn to pieces and are not much more
than huge chunks of rust.

President Harrison is to be con-
graduated After many unsuccessful
efforts he has at last succeeded in Sc
curing a chairman for the Republican
National Committee, in the person of
Thomas II. Carter, of Montana, Com
missioner of the Land Office. Hold
ing an office under the President he
could not well decline, but in his ap-
pointment President Harrison has
turned his back squarely on civil
service reform. The truth is no man
of prominence in the Republican
party cared to lead forlorn hope.

Mr.. Cleveland continues to grow in
popularity. Every mention of his
name in public gatherings is received
with shouts of applause. His election
will be certain if Democrats every
where work with zeal and are not be-
trayed into lukewarmness by feeling
of security as to the result. Rest as
sured the Republicans will strain
every nerve to wrest from the Demo
Gratis some of the States now regarded
as certain for Cleveland.

Ex-Governor John Lee Carroll, of
Maryland, is of the opinion that the
tariff issue, as laid down by Cleveland
and endorsed by the Democratic
National Convention, and the odious
force bill will be the leading issues in
the Presidential campaign in this
State. The silver question, he thinks,
will not affect the result in Maryland.

A M MEMORABLE ANNIVERSARY

OCTOBER 18th will have promi-
nent place in history. 1t not only
unites the four centuries of Ameri-
can life that are closing with the
centuries that are before us, but it
will be made memorable by a great
national celebration. The signal
for this demonstration will be the
dedication ofthe Worlds Columbian
exposition grounds in Chicago.
On that day our foremost Ameri-
can institution-t the public school
will be the center of local celebra-
TORS in the cities and towns from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
By linking together all these local
celebrations as parts Of a systematic
national demonstration the full sig.
nifcance Of the day will be brought
out.
The object for this movement fol
a national celebration is not only tc
interest the youth of the country in
the Worlds Columbian exposition
but also TO give the American public
school fitting prominence as the
!ruit of four centuries OF American
life.
Both the Worlds congress com
mission of the Columbian exposition
aud the American superintendent,
OF education have requested that thu
public schools of each city and tow
lead IN the local celebration. Thes,
two bodies have also appointed

joint executive committee to direct
the movement and to prepare a uni.
form and titting programme for uni
versal use.
Every wiaeawake boy and girl in
our land has read or will read the
message issned by the Columbian
public, schs celebration commission
with keen interest. ltspeaks Wig
orous word to every one of the sew
eral million pupils in our public
schools. How far the spirit of this
message is carried out depends on
each individual boy and girl. We
believe they will respond to it
promptly and enthusiastically. They
are too thoroughly imbued with the
true spirit of American loyalty and
patriotism to permit such an oppor-
tunity to be lost. They will enter
into the spirit of this important
event with characteristic American
energy and determination.
1t is an inspiring thought that on
October 18th all the loyal sons and
daughters of our land will be united
by one common purpose of such lof-
ty conception. We believe that the
pupils in our bubble schools will
prove as enterprising and intelligent
ly patriotic as those of any city OF
town ia America. Dsn't wait until
the eleventh hour. If our schools
are to attempt to be the center of a
local celebration which shall be
worthy of the day there is none toe
much time for PREPARATION Let the
schools begin at once. Teachers and
scholars should make one common
cause.

WE are in the Saturday evening
Of the fourth century of America S

the great milestones Of history. An
epoch in American life is closing.
In a few months we pass the day
which rounds up the full measure of
the 400 years that are gone. But it
is not proposed that we stand even
for day on that great dividing line
to speculate upon American achieve
ment and progress. We shall pause
for but moment, aud contemplate
with wonder and admiration the
grandest production and the most
enduring monument of the first 400
years of American life-our public
school system. The earnest enthu-

OF America are grasping the idea Of
