equipment in shape to handle the big
crops that will soon be on the move to

LIBERTY BELL TO BE
HERE NEXT TUESDAY
The Last Time Philadelphia Will Permit
It to be Moved

The bell which announced to an
anxious multitude gathered in the city
of Philadelphia July 4, 1776-139
years past-that the delegates sent to
the Philadelphia meeting from the
thirteen original American colonies,
had passed a resolution severing their
relationship with England, and announ-
ing to the world that new nation was
born, dedicated to liberty and sell
government, will be here next Tues
day.
The bell will arrive in Leavenworth
between six thirty and seven o'clock,
next Tuesday evening, on special
train, and Mayor Woodrow will en-
deavor to have it remain here thirty
minutes. This will be the last stop it
will make between here and Everett.
1t is accompanied by the governor OF
Pennsylvania and governor Lister oi
our own state, who met it at the state
line and will leave the train when it
reaches the Oregon state line.
Some people may wonder why SO
much should be made over an old bell.
Not a very big bell, either, as bells 60
nowadays. 1t is because its old cracked
body is the mute evidence of an idea.
1t is because it announced the birth OF
nation dedicated to liberty, self
government and freedom from the over
lordship Of nation that had no sympa-
thy with the aims and objects of the
people who had braved the hardships
of setting up home in a new land.
1t was momentous step for less than
a million people to take. Without
arms or ammunitions. Without an army
or ships. Without an organization or
leaders.
With stout hearts and unalterable
faith in the justice of their cause they
found way to make arms and ammu-
milton, organize an army and build
ships. Organization was accomplished
and leaders just sprang up. How
wisely they planned and bravely they
fought against formidable foe, we Of
today know. 1t is because the old bell
gives rise to the thoughts here feebly
expressed that the people of the United
States travel miles to see this relic.
When the bell that stops here next
Tuesday ceases to arouse enthusiasm in
the breast of every citizen of this coun-
try, whenever and wherever exhibited,
it will be time to ring down the drop
on civilization. The play of govern
ment dedicated to freedom will have
come to an end.

On his return from a pleasure trip to

master, a sergeant Of zouaves, is a pa.

frail hold on life to the devotion and
intelligence Of Fend rAir When the
regiment left Algeria for France the
dog was left behind. but the faithful
little creature leaped into the water
and swan along behind The ship until
the captain. taking pity on him, had
him taken on board From that time
he has never left his master.
During the fighting at Rochincourt.
near Arras. an exploding bomb buried
the sergeant and seven other men
with earth They were badly injured.
and so deeply covered that no man
had the strength to fight his way out.
But, luckily, Fend rAir escaped the
bomb. lie at once began to scratch,
and he scratched and scratched until
he had reached his master and
dragged him out to safety. The seven
other men died.
The wounded sergeant and his dog
were sent from one relief station TO
another until they found permanent
care in this Paris hospital Good nurs'
ing has snved the man, but too much
attention almost killed the dog. for
the nurses and orderlies fed him 50
layishly that promiscuous feeding had
to be forbidden.
Now Fend rAIr lives I'm the hospital
kitchen. where he has assumed tho
duty OF guard, and growls sayagely
at anyone who enters the kitchen
unless they belong there. Every day
a nurse takes him to the wards tC
visit his master. and Fend rAir puts
his nose on the sergeants shoulder
and stands contentcd as long as he is
permitted to remain. The great af

that for every law that is needed we
