HEART WHISPERS.

oh heart. now let your feelings roll,
Like hearts of dreamers past, sing outl
Your vision lies within your soul.
Thus peer beyond the mists OF doubt,
or pierce the walls of Time unborn,
This great, fair morn.
Sing out! Sing for the rambling winds
That blow across the butted plain.
Sing for the soaring bird that finds
in the storm and rain
Bold Is the life II leads from birth,
Great is its worth.
Sing en-! Sing for the girl who lives.
And hopes. and waits on Time and
mel"
Her love, and every thought she gives.
Is all for me, who. not so free,
Broods in a foreign. alien land,
North of the "Grande."
Sing on Sing for the Land OF Peace,
Where justice stands, with face un-
Where troubles and Affections cease,
Where graft ard spite and hate are
A land Of mountains, plains and flowers
And sunny hours.
Sing on, sad heart! Above the trees
A lonely start broods in the sky,
Upon the pulsing lake the breeze
Expires In murmurs and a sigh;
Down by the brook fullfrog chirps-
The robin sleeps.

when the Fourth of July was merely
a local holiday to the United States
alone. 1t is now celebrated, OF course,
by all nations, not for its purpose in
American history alone, but because II
marked the dawn of a new political
epoch of freedom all over the world.
1T was in 1880, at the time Of the
disarmament of the nations that this
day came to have international sig
nificance.
The chairman of your reception
committee informs me that you are
planning tonight to release 13 sky
rockets from one OF your buildings
here. Let me leave as my parting
word to you the admonition that this
part of the celebration be handled
with extreme caution. You should
realize that powder is a very danger
Gus thing, and these skyrockets should
not be harbored longer than neces

Senate Committee Presents a Bill That

ing Of Foods.

Washington, d. CA limit o. one

or advancing prices ~artifcially. This
Is the judgment of the senate cost OF
living committee, and Chairman Lodge
introduced In the senate a bill to meet
the recommendations
In presenting the bill Senator Lodge
said:
Under the resolution OF the senate
the committee 20 inquire into wages
and prices OF commodities was given
authority TO make recommendations.
In pursuance OF that authority the
committee now desires 70 recommend
TO the senate legislation limiting the
time perishable food may be held in
cold storage.
From such Investigation as the COM
mittee has thus far been able to make,
it is satisfied that some limit ought
TO be put on the use OF cold storage
for the purpose OF maintaining or ad-
vancing prices artihcially. It IS OF the
opinion that this limit oof time will
tend TO an equalization OF prices, and
IN some cases to 4 reduction.
THE investigation OF this subject by
the department OF agriculture Is not
completed. but Il has proceeded far
enough TO confirm by the results thus
far obtained the view taken by the
