JUNIOR STORIES.
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

The Americans at first were fighting
only to get their rights as subjects of
England. since neither the king nor
the parliament of England would
let them have their rights. They got
tired of calling themselves English
men, so they were bound to set up an
Independent government. So on the
4th Of July, 1776, congress declared
the colonies .ree and Independent.
This was called the Declaration of In
dependence. 1t was signed in Phila-
delphia, Pennsylvania.
Thomas Jefferson was the author Of
the Declaration of Independence.

The state in which live is the state
of Iowa. It Is considered the best state
in the union. Iowa's crops have never
yet been an entire failure.
The late frost killed most Of the fruit
in some places, but yet in my state
there is plenty for us all. The farm
ers were terribly scared at the dry
weather this summer Although the
oats are short the rain came in time,
big potatoes and great tall corn and
we'll filled wheat. We raise good corn
in Iowa. You ought to come to the
Big Four fair at Eldon. The largest
corn I ever saw. was there. think
Iowa is the best state. We do not
have earthquakes or big cyclones or
sand storms or hot winds to burn every
thing UP, but we have big soaking
rains in the summer.
with plenty of snow.
I live in the state Of Iowa. which
contains ninety-nine counties. Des
Moines is the capital, situated on the
Des Moines river, the largest river
In the state. The climate is temper
ate and cool. The soil Is Of heavy,
dark drift loan. Coal Is mined In thir-
ty counties in the state. Polk, Mahas-
ka, Keokuk and Marion counties are
noted for the richest deposits. Most
can be raised in Iowa. Corn is the
leading staple. Stock raising is one Of
the leading occupations. Educational
institutions supported by the state are
great and doing excellent work. Asy-
lums for the afflicted are to be high
ly praised.

There are lots of grain and food pro-
ducts raised in Iowa. There are also
great many vegetables and fruits
raised. Live stock is raised and when
1t is fattened some of it is killed,
packed and shipped across the ocean.
Some is shipped to Chicago alive. In
Iowa there are rich mines of coal and
lead. Some of the, great commercial
ports are Davenport, Burlington and
Iowa was a part Of the Louisiana
purchase in 1903.

Iowa, the twenty-n ninth state, was
admitted to the union March 8, 1s45.
The first permanent settlement was
made at Burlington in 1888. by the
French.
1t then included all of Minnesota
west of the Mississippi river, but when
admitted as state it was reduced to
it's present limits.
Iowa produces more corn. oats, hay
and hogs than ony other state in the
union, and is among the first in tho
production Of potatoes. barley, cattle
and dairy products.
1t also yields more bituminous coal
than any other state west of the Mis-
sissippi.
Iowa has ninety-nine counties, and
each county has an organized govern
ment of its own.

NEW HAVEN. February 3.--From tho
sentiments expressed in the Yale recent
faculty meetings, it is known that some
OF the items which have appeared in the
annual reports of Mr.. Camp will never
be seen there again, The faculty are a
unit that no athlete will be allowed TO
be tutored in the future and his bills
paid by the athletic associations. Mr..
Camp admits that this has been done in
the past.
Vouchers for theatre tickets. hacks to
20 to the Yale field and back and similar
luxuries crop out In the items allowed
by Mr.. Camp, and these have been seen
for the last time, according to the faculty.
There is one item of athletic graft
which duplicates the faculty itself-free
tickets to all tho members of the faculty
and their families to the games The
faculty have seen fit to use these year
after year, and one professor is known to
have taken Into Il game seven people on
his own pass. The athletic managers are
watching to see whether the faculty will
hereafter frown upon free passes or will
continue to accept them. Ei

have not been published in years. Mem

A plan to forbid members of athletic
teams from another college, whether
graduates or not, from becoming Inem-
bers of Yale teams is extremely likely
to be passed at Yale. The proposition
to cut off graduate and professional
school students from the athletic teams
is also favored by good-sized faction.
The general Yale faculty, which is
holding it's sessions, will probably wait
till the special committee chosen by the
university council three months ago re-
ports. This committee was thought to
be so favorable to the present athletic
regime that the entire faculty began
holding meetings over the proposed re-
forms.
