o brother mine, today we stand
Where half century sweeps our
.a ken, ~.
Since God, through Lincoln's ready
hand,
Struck off our bonds and made US
men.
Just fifty years-a Winters day
AS runs the history of race:
Yet, as we now look DER the way,
How distant seems our starting
place! ....
Look father back! Three centuries!
To where naked, shivering score,
Snatched from their haunts across
the seas,
Stood, wild-eyed, on Virginia's
shore.
Far, far the way that we have trod,
From heather kraals and jungle
dens,
To freedmen, freemen, sons Of God,
Americans and Citizens.
A part of His unknown design,
We've lived within mighty age;
And we have helped to write line
On history's most wondrous page.
A few black bondmen strewn along
The borders of our eastern coast,
Now grown a race, ten millions
strong,
An upward, onward, marching host.
Then let us here erect stone,
To mark the place, to mark the
time;
A witness to Gods mercies shown,
A pledge to hold this day sublime.
And let that stone an altar be
Wherein thanksgiving We may
Where we, in deep humility,
For faith and strength renewed may
pray,
With open hearts ask from above
New zeal, new courage and new
powers,
That we may grow more worthy Of
This country and this land of ours.
For never let the thoughts arise
That we are here on sufferance
bare;
Outcasts, asylumed meath these
skies,
And aliens without part or share.
This land is ours by right of birth,
This land is ours by right of toll;
We helped to turn it's virgin earth,
Our sweat Is in it's fruitful soil.
Where once the tangled forest stood,
Where flourished once rank weed
and thorn,
Behold the path-traced, peaceful
wood,
The cotton white, the yellow corn.
To gain these fruits that have been
earned,
To hold these fields that have been
won,
Our arms have strained, our backs
have burned,
Bent bare beneath ruthless sun.
That Banner, which is now the type
OF victory on field and flood
Remember, it's first crimson stripe
Was dyed by Attacks willing
. blood.
And never yet has come the cry
When that fair flag has been as
sailed
For men to do, for men to die,
That we have faltered or have
failed. ....

affixed to letters to foreisp countries.
When the postage is insufficient letters

charge double the amount Of the de-
hcient postage. The Post Office De-
partment has been advised of many let

tries TO which the two cent rate applies
are Canada. Cuba. Mexico. Panama,
Newfoundland. the Canal Zone, Ger

To all other countries the rate is Eve

Vile, California. who is backing him
with his inventions.
More Efficient, IL Claim
The first mixture on which patents
are pending is q chemical compound
that is claimed will replace gasoline and
at the same time prove 20 per cent more
efficient. None Of this mixture as yet
has been manufactured in large quanti-
ties, but it has been made on a small
scale from materials bought at retail
prices for 10 cent per gallon.
IL has been tested on q Buick 40 that
formerly ran IS miles to the gallon of
gasoline. The same car under the same
conditions and with the same weight
was found to average % miles to the
gallon of the new mixture. The car was
examined by experts and pronounced to
be IN perfect condition after the test
and the same experts pronounced the
cylinders absolutely free of carbon. al.
though the car had run 100 miles.
The other mixture is a decarbonizer
which is guaranteed to contain no acid
or glyoerine aud not to crystalline the
cylinders and at the same time to in-
crease the power and mileage Of the ma
chine in which it is used.
It is mixed with the gasoline In pro-
portions Of one pint Of mixture to 20
gallons OF gasoline and can be mixed
either in . separate tank or put into the
car with the gasoline. Il is said to give
three additional miles TO each gallon of
gasoline. to increase the power 10 per
cent. and &C the same time to oxidize all
carbon In the cylinders.
