Country True to Its Ideals.


How truly the United States has
pursued the ideal of human progress
set forth in the Declaration Of hide
pendence has been shown since the
world war began by our steadfast
stand for the rights of humanity.
Here we stand, drawn from the four
corners of the earth, a great people
united in common purpose, leading
the world toward realization of the
brotherhood of mankind and pointing
out to all nations that mans real and
enduring aim should be the conquest
Of himself and of the vast forces of
nature, to the end that all may get
the best out of life and ever advance
in the pursuit of happiness.

Economy,

"You spend entirely too much money
on Dress" said the man of the house.
That simple little frock Mrs. Smythc
wore last night looked great deal
better than that elaborate gown Of
yours"
"Of course it did, my DEAR" replied
his wife sweetly. That simple little
frock, as you call it, cost three hun
dred dollars, while mine cost only a
hundred and fifty"
well, for the love of Mike, go out
and buy one about twice as elaborate
as the one you've got. Maybe you
can get it for nothing"

FORTY DAYS
Long Time Before
England Got News
of the Battle of
Lexington

Ut SEEMS strange in these days
when news of the battles in far
away Europe is cabled to America
Il within few minutes after they oc.
cur-When flying machines equipped
with machine guns are fighting each
other in the clouds-when advocates
of preparedness are arguing that the
ocean is no barrier to foreign foe
because of the swiftness of their
steam cruisers-to bark back to the
battle of Lexington, April 10, 1775,
and try to realize the length of time it
required for the news of that conflict
to reach England.
There were no telegraph wires, no
telephone, no dispatch boats or "spe-
cial correspondents" with each regi-
ment. A steam vessel had not then
been dreamed of. There were no
cables, no flying machines, no machine
guns. Only sailing vessels, of small
size, were available to cross the ocean,
and as consequence it took long,
long time for the shot to be heard
around the world"

Journalism in America was then
in its swaddling clothes. The race of
the enterprising journalist to outfoot
f1eet-footed Time had not then begun.
There was not the intense rivalry Of
today between metropolitan papers,
with their specials and war extras-to
say nothing of baseball extras. There
was, too, a similar lack of activity on
the part of editors in London.
The newspapers in Boston and 9TH
er nearby towns at that time were
published weekly, usually on Monday.
News of sanguinary events, if they
occurred during the week, was neces-
sarily held for publication until the
following Monday. 1t was not sur
prising, therefore, that the news of
the battles of Lexington and Concord
was not printed in Boston until April
25-for the idea of issuing an extra"
in such emergencies was not then in
vogue.
In the Essex Gazette.
The Essex Gazette, published at
Salem, had by far the best report of
the events of the day, with an almost
complete list of the killed and wound
ed. The news of this first encounter
between the provincials and his majes-
tvs troops was many hours in reach
ing the other colonies, although post
riders and expresses were started i'm.
mediately for Hartford, New York,
Philadelphia and the South.
In two days nearly all the scattered
peoples of the young nation had been
informed of the result, and the spirit
of the hour had inspired the raising
of troops.
To the king, the parliament and the
people of Great Britain the days had
been filled with anxiety. The main
question discussed was How far
dare the colonists carry their resist.

Wet Nurse TO
a Gold Chassis

To insure the safe transporta-
ton Of the $4,000 Studebaker
gold chassis around the auto
show circuit calls for extra pre-
cautions. For example, S. j.
Fourier, Cleveland agent Of the
American Express Company, per-
sonally conducted the chassis
from New York to Cleveland. He
rode in the special car that car
ried the chassis, accompanied by
a Pinkerton man who guards it
at the various motor car shows.
The chassis was loaded on the
special car right in the Grand
Central Station, instead of being
lowed over to the freight depot.
Permission was got from the
New York Central officials, mas
much as this act set a new prece-
dent.
Extreme measures are being
taken by the Studebaker Corpo-
ration to prevent this chassis,
containing $50 ounces of pure
gold. from being stolen or mu-
tilated.
