There are several theories as to how
Pennsylvania came to be called the
Keystone State The one most general
~ accepted and the one most dear to
all who own Pennsylvania as their ma
tive state, is that Pennsylvania decided
the great issue of American independ.
ence.
At the meeting of the Continental
congress In Philadelphia July 4. 1776,
the vote adopting the Declaration was
taken by states. OF the thirteen orig
inal states six had already voted in
the Affirmative and six in the negative.
when the delegation from Pennsylva-
MIA came in. John Morton casting the
deciding vote in the affirmative. Thus
Pennsylvania. by her vote, decided and
was named the Keystone State.
Another reason advanced is that In
constructing a bridge between Penn
sylvania avenue and Georgetown.
Washington. a single arch was erected
Of stone left from building the walls Of
the capitol. On the thirteen ''vous-
soirs" or arch stones, the names Of the
thirteen states were engraved. Penn.

No Time To Read.

We often hear people say that they
have no time to read. that it is not worth
while to subscribe for papers or maga-
zines because they are SO busy the papers
would just lie around unopened. We
sincerely pity anyone who cannot find
time for anything in this life but work;
whose life is so badly ordered and whose
time is so poorly apportioned that the
mind must be starved in order that the
body may be fed.
We have heard people say that they
had no time to 60 to church; no time for
music, art or drama; no time for play OF
enjoyment; no time to spend in mingline
and cooperating with their fellowmen.

.Cruso lives The question may well be
asked, is such a life worth the struggle

third Congress Thursday. the first half Of
President Wilson's Administration pass
ed into history. Democratic leaders had
fixed upon the date, for assembling to
iubilate over It's success and to talk over
party procedure, but the plan was vetoed
by the President, who believed that the
times are SO troublesome that such eel.
ebration would strike discordant note.
The chief duty which President Wilson
regarded as Incumbent upon his party al
the outset of the Administration was to
revise the tariff, currency and anti Trust
laws. But. although adequate care has
been taken.to fulfill this duty in the laws
which now bear Mr.. Wilion's signature,
it is fact that the public has attached

which delicate problems in our foreign

Dates are hard to remember because
