THE OLD FASHIONED FOURTH

We already hear the rumbles uf the
approaching Fourth Of July and natur.
ally turn back tu the celebrations Of our
boyhoOd days forty years ago. DO you
remember what they were when wr
had them? We used 10 90 out to a
grove somewhere and take picnic
dinner along. A. We remember the
event the dinner was the only redeem
ing feature Of the day and was the one
time in the year when the children
did not have To wait for the second
table. All they had tn do was To grab
piece OF chicken and hike with 1t.
II there happened to be a band in the
county and row at the county seat
so the band boys would not play there
they sometimes came out and played
at the grove.
The silvcr-tungucd orator was usual.
ly young lawyer who intended to run
for county attorney that fall or the
next. In addition to this talk other
men Of local fame made patriotic ad.
dresses and WED with all the Others in
pruclaimlng patriotism and loyalty To
the nation. The speaking began at
10 o'clock and lasted until the young.
sters rebelled and the women got ncr.
Nous and began dcscrtiug the seats to
spread the tablecloths on the grass
under the trees. The speakers usually
quit when they saw dinner was ready
but began again As soon as the dishes
were put away in the baskets. The
Declaration Of Independence was read,
usually by the school teacher. The
church choir sang America and The
Star-Spangled Banner and the band,
II 1t happened to be there, played the
same tunes with one or two things
that nobody understood.
Occasionally boy whose father was
known to be indulecnt with him would
have a bunch OF irecrarkers and all the
other boys at the grove would t.g
around after him all day, begging for
one To shoot. The mosquitoes were al.
ways plentiful and the flies followed
the dinner baskets from home to the
grove About o'clock the speakers
had become exhausted and Quit and As
there was nothing else to do, the
things and the children were loaded
up and ever! body broke away for home
where the cows had to be brought in
and MIXED and the chores done and
the only work the mother and girls
escaped was supper. Every BODY had
eaten so much that no supper was
needed.
About 9 O'Clock every boy In the
neighoorhood would hear the same
order, Now. you boys 20 to bed. or
you Will not want To get up at4 O'Clock
IN the morning and get to work shock.
Ing that wheat" That was the end
OF the old-fashioued sane Fourth q,
July. Usually some boy was drowned
"hen he went swimming and the
neighoors declared unanimously tina,
lhete would be no more picnics on the
Fourth. But the next year there wa.
one IN the same grove. There wa.
nothing said then about a sane Fourth
out all knew that If there had beer
no picnic, the boy would not have beer
drowned and it was agreed that every.
one who attended was in measur.
responsible for the boys death and all
determined to reform, Just as nearl,
all people do nowadays after spendins

UNABLE TO MANAGE THE PIE
Lad at Work fer Farmer Took Too
Large a Contract.

An Ohio farmer hired a runaway
boy that came along and wanted work.
At the first meal there was custard
pie on the table and the lad liked it
so we'll that he offered TO work for all
the custard pie he could eat every day.
The farmer took him up. On the
next day the boy eat five pies and
nothing else. On the next four pies.
On the third three. He stuck at three
for two days, and then dropped to two
At the end of the week he had hard
work to get away with one, and at the
end Of the tenth day the sight of a
pie put him I'm a SILVER.
The farmer insisted that he eat, and
as he couldn't he was horsewhipped,
and that brought the matter into court

FARM NOTES.

Cultivation should be mostly to
keep down weeds.
Stock barns should be light, dry and
well ventilated.
Molasses is proving to be a good
feed for farm animals, including dairy
COWS.
Dairying is the one branch in which
no man should engage who has not q
real liking for COWS.
Weeds are not an enemy. They take
possession of waste places and often
pillow up the soil and make way for
the coming of grasses.
When the potato vines are half
grown they have filled the ground
with lateral roots. Cultivate over the
roots and not through them
The dairy COW requires five times
as much of the carbon i'm her food as
Of The protein because she must from
that produce both heat and energy.

berries are always found. Many plans
of placing or spacing runners have
been tried, and nearly every grower
has his own distinctive way, which he
varies from time TO time when he
thinks he has discovered something

much what arrangement Of the run.
ners is made, provided they are given
plenty of room. Next to spacing them
is the labor of cutting off the surplus
ones that are not needed. An early.
set, vigorous plant will send out null
titude of runners during the growing
season and keep it up till freezing
weather has stopped growth. Pinch
ing or cutting them off with knife
or scissors is slow work and requires
constant STOPPING, which is relished
neither by old nor young. This work
may be lightened as follows:
Take WORKOUT hoe. says Orange
Judd Farmer, and have the blacksmith
straighten the blade on a line with
the shank. You can have it any width
the noe VIII admit. OF cutting dIOuuu
single plants a narrow blade is best;
for narrowing in the side of a row the
wider the blade the better. For mar
rowing the row an ordinary pillow
counter may be used. 1t may be fas.
tened to the cultivator or it may be
attached to handles whetted sharp
and trundled along by hand.
After the raspberries and black
berries are through bearing is the
best time to cut out the old canes An
other simple instrument is also made
out of an old hoe for this work, only
in this case the hoe blade is turned
in a sickle shape, so as to catch firmly
around the cane This allows the man
TO do all the cutting while standing
erect. His left hand should be pro-
vided with a strong glove TO hold the
canes and pull them out. The illustra-
ton shows how the cutter looks when

FARM WATER SUPPLY.
Purity of the Source is of Prime
Importance.

Too many wells are sunk in the low
est places around the farm home and
barns. | visited more than a dozen
different farm homes last week, writes
a correspondent of Indiana Farmer
and with one exception, every well
was located where surface drainage
was sure 10 get into it. Ia some places
one well supplied both hons hold
needs and the live stock. These wells
we've located where they We're most
convenient for the stock That is a
mighty poor arrangement. If one well
must furnish the entire water suaDly
sink it where there is no possible
chance for seepage or surface pollu-
ton. Place it as near the house as
possible, and then pipe the stock sup
ply 10 a tank in the yarc. It's a hui-
sance to have tank within 80 or 40
feet of the house. 1t is Just as con-
venient to have it hundred yards
away 1t is necessary to have plenty
of water during these hot months, but
be sure that it is pure.

descent, and he 'came rightly by his
musical instincts, both of his parents
and several brothers and sisters being
skilled musicians. He first took up the
study of the violin. but upon the ad-
vice of Paderewski, whom he CHANGED
to meet in London, was urged to con-
centrate his attention upon the piano.
At the age of Is he accompanied Pad
erewski to Paris, where he fitted him

"Grit, the Newsboy" Good.

Crit, the Newsboy" at the Orpheum
theater last night proved that Morrie
Streeter, who wrote the play, is both
an actor and playwright of no
mean ability. In the title role he is
true to life and excites the sympathy
and wins the hearts of the audience.
Not a whit behind him is Miss Bryan,
who as "Roxie," a waif, was just
about as good in her part as it is pos
sible for anyone to be. AS a waif in the
streets, or as a society girl in the
drawing room she is all that could be
desired and makes good with the au-
dience from the start Miss Maude
Belmour as Marie DeJohn" proved
that she is better in heavy roles than
in the lighter ones which she has been
taking. Bert Hadley made an ideal viii
lain. Miss Games was as usual, one of
the best of the company.
The play is we'll written, mas just
the right proportion of humor and
pathos and is we'll calculated to please
even the most critical audiences.

SCHOOL BOARD TO BE CON-
MENDED.

The board of education is to be
commended for taking such prompt
action in remedying certain defects IN
the public schools of the city that
might lead to a repetition of the Col
linwood disaster in which nearly 200
school children lost their lives through
faulty construction of the building and
the. lack of adequate fire escapes.
The school board has ordered all
doors in the Baker school rehung IN
order that they may swing outward i'm
stead of inward as they now do. 1t was
discovered after the CollinwOOd fire
that inswinging doors We're largely
responsible for the great loss of life.
The board of education has also ar
ranged to have fire escapes placed ON
the Lincoln SCHOOL building which is Ia
e-story structure.
The board should go still further in
making safe, as fast as possible, every
public school building in the city.
Fire escapes leading from every room
above the first floor should be installed.
1t does not matter what the cost is
when the lives of hundreds of our
children are considered The cost
should not enter into the matter at all.
