THE FUTURE THAT CoNFRoNTs

The day we celebrate is upon us
The great national holiday which
commentaries the birthday of the re-
public has again returned, telling us
each one that we are removed one year
further from the clang of those bells,
which in the old hall at Philadelphia
on that memorable day, Fourth of July
1776, rang out liberty and independ-
ence

cease from their ordinary avocations
for one day each year and contem-
plate what it meant to those who
brought the nation into being, what
it means to us and what it's signifi.

after us.
1t was a tremendous job which the
colonies tackled in that seven year
war against the greatest empire which
the world knew. We can hardly COM
prehend it now. For three millions
of people scattered along the unde-
veloped coast line OF new continent,
with the savages on their rear and the
wild ocean between them and the old
world, having no material wealth, to
undertake to assert their independence

hearts and high ideals won independ-
ence. That which they established
has resulted in a democracy which in

lions of people.
The men who fought at Bunker Hill
at Valley Forge and Yorktown will
never be forgotten. They left a price,
less heritage. 1t is, indeed, to us on
each recurring early July day "A
Glorious Fourth"
Their record is secure, their fame
imperishable, their magnificent con,
tributions to humanity's welfare are
found in the happy homes and free in,

as constant source of joy to the mil

NORFOLK SONG BIRDS.

1t can hardly have escaped the at
tention of even the unobserving and
disinterested that Norfolk is hearing
more of the music of the song-bird
this summer than in many a season
past. And it would seem that all Nor
folk must join with G. B. Salter who
has more than once put in a good
word for this feathered musician, in
the hope that the citizens generally of
this community will encourage the
nesting of the pretty creatures and
make Norfolk a pleasant nesting place
for them.
Norfolk's daybreak is ushered in
every morning of the present summer
with melody that human words fail
utterly in an effort to describe. AS
the shadows of night are put to flight
by the dim light of early dawn the
early morning concert begins, and it
increases in volume and beauty and
harmony as the sun climbs higher and
higher in the east. First from a
songster here and there who has op-
ened his eyes earlier than the rest of
bird-dom, come the cheering bugle
notes that summon all the rest of the
ten thousand perfectly keyed threats
to action and as the hands of the
alarm clock get nearer and nearer the
going-off point, the open-air chorus
just outside the window, in the pro-
tecting tree-tops, gains more and more
voices until when the Junction whistle
calls men to their days work, the
countless happy little soloists of many

mates and to all the world, are send.

kind that the earth once again is
right side up.
Well can Norfolk afford to cultivate
the song bird He brings to a com
munity bit of natures JOY that can
come from no other source-a joyous
song that can't be bought in any hui
man music hall.
These companionable and altogether
lovable creatures may be had merely
in return for protection from modest,

The sparrows have grown to be a
