Tho Old Fashioned Fourth.
WAYNE, Neb.. Herald.l

aSne, Nep., Herald
July is not far off. and its ap-
proach reminds one of the difference
between celebration of the nations
natal day now and thirty years ago. In
this western country thirty years ago
the Fourth was anticipated as one of
the very few big days of the year.
Boys and girls talked about and pre-
pared for ii weeks ahead They were
thrilled with joyous expectancy. They
laid in a supply of cheap and harmless
tirecrackers, and could have a grand
time at little cost. There were no
telephones and no automobiles. and
therefore communication and trans
portation were not so easy as they are
today.
Dawn of the Fourth finds the print
tive country in complete readiness to
celebrate. Mostly lumber wagons con-
vey people from the sparsely settled
surrounding territory to the town
grove. They start early and humping
along thru the heat and dust arrive in
time to inspect the grandstand. lemon
ade stands. circular swing and dancing
platform in advance of the patriotic
exercises. They trudge up town to see
the parade, and wait two hours in the
DrOlllng sun peIOre tne 0elaSeu process
sion comes along. The states are rep
resented by. girls dressed in white.
with red and blue sashes, and they.
with the bespangled goddess Of liberty.
ride triumphantly In a hayrack drawn
by four horses, which the driver
doesn't know how to drive. and which
usually get scared at the band which
toots along in the lead, and II an acct
dent happens and some one is hurt the
excitement increases and here is more
to talk about the rest of the day, and
longer If results prove serious. After
the band and hayrack full of animate
states, comes the conclusion In the
shape of a lot of callithumpians.
Then people fall in line and march to
the grove. the %emen nerspiring and
tired and the children with noses bis
tered and peeled under the influence OF
the hot sun. At the grove the band
plays, the choir sings. the parson
prays, the schoolmaster reads the
declaration of independence, ard the
town orator describes with much feel
ing how the colonies threw off the
yoke of British rule. Firecrackers pop
around the head Of the speaker, and
