This, That and the Othcr.

In speaking of uproarious Fourth OF
July celebrations we would like to ask
in all kindness, who put the riot in
patriotism?
1t is interesting, though sometimes
distressing, to note that the scientific
investigators of this country are tear
ing down our old idols at a tremen-
dous rate. They cali Washington a
tax-dodger. They say jefferson chew
ed tobacco. that John Hancock signed
the Declaration of independence by
mistake, that Christopher Columbus
didn't discover America at all and that
Paul Revere never was on horseback
in his life. An end should be put to
this pernicious business or we shall not
have a tradition left to stand on. Ifs
it keeps on somebody will have the
unlimited gall some day to claim that
Daniel Webster didn't write the die

KANSAS COMMENT
LEARN TO SWIM.


Women are beginning to realize more
and more the benefit of the exercise oil
swimming Swimming is conceded by
medical and physical culture authorl-
ties to be one of the moe health-glv-
ing. grace-producing, beneficial, exer-
cises in which a girl can indulge. Ev-
cry girl should learn to swim. One rea-
son why swimming, although the most
artificial exercise we take. is one OF
the best is because 1t puts the body
in an entirely different position from
the normal one. 1t offers perfect re-
Taxation to every part of the body ana
a change of movement for practically
all the muscles commonly used, while
it brings into action some that are sell
dom taxed in ordinary daily activities
In addition to this, swimming gives one
courage and makes one more confident
of ones self Any exercise which Will
cultivate these qualities is well worth
practicing and cannot fail to have an
important bearing in the general Gull
tivation of the moral as well as physi-
cad nature of the individual. Besides
being a good exercise, one never knows
when swimming may come in handy;
and if more people knew how to swim
there would be fewer deaths from
drowning. A swimmer never knows
when he or she may be called upon to
save or assist in saving the life of some
one, and the rescue and resuscitation
of a drowning person are features
which every swimmer should learn.
The accomplishment of swimming is
practically within the reach of all, for
there are very few places where there
is not a pool of some kind which is
open at certain seasons of the year

RAIN MAKERs. GET BUSY.


Man has conquered many things He
has harnessed the lightning. He has
tanned the waterfalls. He has even
made the air do his bidding and carry
MS messages. Why does not man
master the elements? Why not make
it rain when we want it to? The air
did not give up its power until forced
by the electricians; the messages were
not carried by wireless until a man
compelled the air to do it. When will
some man compel the elements to give
rain when needed? A few years ago
rain makers appeared and promised
but they did not make good. Man has
made a substitute by running water in
channels but we want real rain to fall
whenever needed. When will it be
done Lawrence Journal-World.
