Do you know who cast the Liberty
Bell?
Can you recall when first it was
hung in the statehouse and upon
what historic occasion it first was
rung?
Do you know when and how it was
cracked?
And how many times it has been
taken on tours?
Probably you could ave answered
questions like those when you were
school boys and girls. but not now.
No wonder, then, that the four police
men selected by Director Porter as
guardians for the Liberty Bell on the
trip to and from the Panama-Paciic
Exposition are burning the midnight
oil and examining on American his

has been able to do, and do we'll.
There has beer an oversupply OF
women and girls in Smith county, but
the coming of the harvest hands has
changed all this. Bright young fell

Two weeks delay in harvest work
