This made the little girls jump, but Bob
brushed them gently down with small

Where did you say the rest of the lunch

About the signers of the Declaration

They were all aware OF the danger that
might result from their action but were
proud to meet it. They deserve the great
honor from each succeeding generation.
and the Fourth OF July is a good time to
express it,
They were all young men-comparatively-
their ages averaging forty-three years and
ten months. Edward Rutledge CT South
Carolina was the youngest twerty-seven
years, while Benjamin Franklin was the
Oldest, seventy years. The occupations
they represented were: Doctors. .; lawyers.
80; farmers Z; merchants and mechanics.
.: surveyor /: shoemaker, /, and printer
(Franklin). 1.
Some one suggested to Charles Carroll
that as there were a great many men of
that name, if the cause should fail England
would not know what one to arrest. lie
replied, Yes, they will, and Immediately
wrote, "Of Carrollton" after his name.
AS the paper was being signed John Han
cock said: I'VE must all hang together
'sAy" answered Ben Franklin. we must
all hang together. else we shall all hang
separately"
1t is a remarkable coincidence that Jeffer"
son, the author of the Declaration of lnde-
pendence. and John Adams, its great sup
porter, both afterward Presidents OF the
United States, died on the same day, anf
that Independence day, 1926.

Dick said she Ought to call It Gladys after
her first friend and Bess said that her
best friend was her sister, and Bob said
she ought 10 call her "Frizzle,' because
tuat was what she really was. "a regular
fr.zzic.' So sweet Alice thought she would
please thcm all.
- So they wcut TO Mother Malorkins and
asked her about 10 and she held up her
tstuds and said: Whoever heard Of such
D thing Way. you'll simply ruin all your
clothes and perhaps fall in The water and
catch cold and goodness knows the muss

But az last she agreed and they started
OF with many useful Instructions as 20
what 80 Do and what not 10 do. and also
"A very large basket which Bob said had
everything in IL except the cow and calf,
and which Bess said he would soon COM
UIliu didn't hold half enough and Dick said

size would carry il herself # some one else
would carry Gladys Betsy Frizzle.
AT last they arrived at the edge Of the
clear blue spring which boiled up rom the
base Of little cliff Overhung win spread
ius birch trees and twining wild grape
vines The sands Of the spring were a
golden yellow. ferns grew around It's edges
and now and then "a dear little spotted ~
ard ssurrled out OF them and under a de-
Cayed log anxious 10 get away from the
great giants whose footballs shook the
ground only To reappear shortly, however,
10 gaze in wonder at the wonderful two
legged things.
Bob looked for while at the bubbing
spring, then throwing himself down took
long drink; when he rose up he said:
Goodness, that water must be boihng on
Ice And this made them all laugh so
heartily that II put him IN a good hUmor,

cited:
If you search for place where every things right.
Where everythings perfectly grand
You must follow the trail Of the fairy queen
To her home In make believe land.
Oh. the rocks are all made of solid gold.

OF course. all applauded Dicks piece and
agreed that 10 them, just where they were
would be make-believe-land for the rest
OF the day
To tell all that happened during that
afternoon would fill book. How a fright
ful monster came and snorted over the
cliff and how the Queen of the Fairies turn
ed 1t into a harmless little calf How a
dragon was seen crawling slowly toward
them through the ferns. and before it
could do any harm the queen turned it into
a harmless caterpillar. How she trans
formed a fierce snake into harmless
worm. How Dick found piece of string
In his pocket bent a pin, put on a piece
OF bread, went down to the brook and
caught a whale. and while he was wonder
ing what to do with 1t she kindly turned

sound came 10 them on the evening breeze
IL was real kind of the queen to turn il

they soon went in that direction.

said We'll. l declare here you ali are

it. too, How did Gladys Betsy Frizzle en-

And sweet Alice said We've changed

Homemade Fireworks.

You have never thought of fireworks made
at home, have you? Well. there are
eral kinds that can be made there and the
best part of them Is that you can play with
them all day and not have to walt until
after dark. which, for some reason or other
is longer coming on the Fourth OF July than
on any other day In the year. No hrework
is ever so satisfactory the pinwheel.
which delights the girls well as the boys.
for 1t does not go off In such sudden
style as the other fireworks have a habit
of doing. First. find a large-sized empty
spool; then cut a circular pasteboard disc
four inches in diameter for the back OF tie
wheel Make blue fire out OF strips Of
fringed blue paper and paste them on tho
disc. Cut a square of yellow paper fringed
around the edges for the yellow fire and
fasten 1t over the blue fire. Make red fire
of red paper trife smaller than the yell
low. Each succeeding layer OF fire must he
smaller than the first though not necessarily
be the same shape Let the last two papers
be white and green, and on the top fasten
irregular lengths of the gliitering tlnsel
left from last years Christmas tree II this
is not punched too much ii Will look like
flying sparks when the wheel Is In motion
Paste the back of the pinwheel securely on
one end of the empty spool Take a strong
nail and push IL through a small disc OF
linked pasteboard; bring the pasteboard
close TO the head of the nail then pierce
the pinwheel in the center and run the
nail through both wheel and spool. After
the ffrework has dried hammer 1t on a
fence and you will have a much more sat
isfactory pinwheel than any of the bought
ones.
If you can find side steel taken from
pair of stays. use IL for snap-fire. Bend the
ends together until ii breaks In the center.
on the broken end of one piece paste two
gay tissue paper streamers. To fire IT, hold
the ffrework in an upright position, stream
ers downward, the papered end between
the thumb and forefnger of the left hand
and the upper end with the thumb and fore
finger of the right hand. Bend the snap
fire let go with the right hand. then an In
slant later with the left and see the iirework
spring high in the air. carrying It's gay
trimmings with 1t.

sun as they had that name people looked
for as many reasons for II as possible and
some one discovered that Bob was ''Crusty,"
Bess had rather a sharp tongue, which sup
piled the spice and lemon peel; Dick
was Round a pippin' and

needed. so everybody agreed to let the

Bob said. 'Humph. what's the fun in

Last Fourth of july.

Last Fourth of July was only six,
A reg'lar little chump.
l goI into dreadful Tx.
You see, there was a stump
In our back yard, where l used to play
All sorts Of things alone.
On Sundays twas n pulpit,
On week days twas a throne.
1 was the preacher Sundays.
And the pickets on the fence
Were the people that ! preached to.
But l didn't preach no sense.
On other days | was a king,
The pickets were my people.
| wore golden paper crown
All pointed like steeple.
Well. Fourth Of July my Cousin Bob
Came FROM the great big town.
With crackers, punk and fireworks,
To do the Fourth up brown.
l told him how Il was q king
He is bigger some than mez-
And he said we would have siege,
The stump would be my fort.
And he would try to blow 1t up.
He said twas lots Of sport.
So l got up upon the stump,
And the crackers In a row
He piled uE thick around the foot.
You should have heard II blowi
The stump caught FIRE, | lost my head;
My father carried me TO bed
stayed In bed long. long time.
All bandaged-'twasn't fun.
Tn big this year-you needn't smile
I'm not 40 big a chump.
And II we have another siege

 Very little cotton is being sold here. When the market was above ten cents the streets were crowded with wagons loaded with cottcn.
 A large majority of the farmers have paid their debts and will hold the re- mainder of their crop for higher prices The cotton crop is practically gathered in this section.

your cotton on that basis and the buy CTS get enough of the staple in their hands to fill their orders, there is but little chance for .ne market to ad- vance. The only way to force an ad- vance quickly Is to refuse to part with the cotton until satisfactory prices are offered. No middling cotton should be sold at interior points for less than eleven cents per pound. The crop is short and all who hold will be reward ed as they should be.
 Again, don't lend your cotton to To- cal mills on the promise of settlement at any time within the next few months. With the staple in the hands of the spinners prices can never ad- vance.
 Again, notify warehousemen to whom you ship your cotton for storage that under no circumstances must your cot ton be loaned or sold to exporters or buyers on any sort Of trade or con tract until you are ready to sell it.
