The Fourth of July.

This is the 12Sth anniversary of the
day when that little gathering of dele
gates from the thirteen American colo
MES took the final and formal steps
which made this country a free and In
dependent nation. The bell in the
tower above the hall-the bell which in
our time is taken from one end OF the
land to the other to be gazed upon with
revereEt awe by millions of people,
and which is now on exhibition in st.
Louis-rang out the glad .idinss which
were spread throughout the land as
fast as any news could travel in those
Old times.
Quite different times are these than
those of the summer of 1776, and quite
a different land is this than that known
to the sturdy patriots of that day, or
even pictured in their fondest dreams.
And yet, the spirit of that first INDIE
pendence day lives in all the glad and
exultant virility of perpetual youth.
and the great and mighty republic
which has grown from the little colonies
of the Atlantic shore which then threw
off the yoke of the mother country, is
still in its institutions, it's methods OF
government. it's plans. it's purposes. its
principles, its policies and it's people,
the ideal free ard Independent land,
which those patriots aimed to estab-
lish.
The methods Of celebrating indie
pendence day have undergone great
changes with the passing of years. The
pomp and solemnity of the old-tlme
celebrations have long since departed,
and in these times it is in the main a
noise-makins holiday for Young
America. This does not mean that the
American people of today fail to APP
preciate the great blessings won for
them by their forefat theirs, or that they
are unmindful of the sacrifices of the
patriots of I716, or ignorant of the
significance Of the Declaration of indie
pcndence. 1t simply means that the
county las outgrown the time when
the fact of Independence was SO new
that the people enjoyed dwelling upon it
in ponderous oratiOns, and that the
modern idea of the Fourth is more
that of general holiday to be enjoyed
by rest and recreation of the older
people, while the boys are allowed free
rein in noise-making after the tradi-
lions that have prevailed in the cele-
bration of the day from the very first.
1t is, of course, great pity that in
connection with this noise-making on
the part Of the youngsters there should
be so many lives lost, and so many per-
sons injured through carelessness in the
use of explosives. 1t is hoped that the
recent crusade against this will have
some effect. In the meanwhile, do not
lose your patience, because the boys
are tlemonstrative and disturbed your
mornings nap, for you We're young
once, and the little fellows who are
improving the holiday after their own
fashion, will soon become the men who
will bear the heat and burden of our
national existence. And if you manage
to find Il spare moment during the day,
it would be a good idea to take down
some good history of the United States
and read through that immortal
Declaration Of Independence, slowly
and thoughtfully; also the pages of the
volume dealing with the events of July
4, 1916. and the times Immediately fol-
lowing.

Edith has just turned IL. She thinks
much more Of dolls than dollars. After

seven years devote her time to study,

venture is Hrisk in futures.1
Already well advanced for child Of

All this is specified in the contract.
A further feature Of the arrange
ment provides that Miss Talliaferro is

After her education is completed,
Miss Edith is to become a fullfedged
