900 acres of land have been leas-

casing, with four men, are on the
ground awaiting the arrival of a

owner of the land will receive
$100 for each we'll and one
eighth of the product. After
the first year 25c per acre will

How good it is to be alive,
When June is drawing near;
How good it is to hope, to dare,
to strive,
To fling a taunt at fear,
The world is never quite so fair,
And victory never thrills,
As when, with roses in her hair,
June trips across the hills.
How fair a world, this world
can be,
When June is just ahead,
When blossoms grace the apple
tree,
And summer rugs are spread
Across the meadows. soft and
green,
Aud on the graceful slopes,
And on mems faces there's seen,
The glow of splendid hopes.

THEY BELIEVED
IN AMERICA

One hundred and forty years ago some half
hundred men, sent by their communities to con-
cert measures for securing their "rights as Eng
lishmen," became convinced that these could not
be obtained save by ceaslng to be British sub
jects" and declaring themselves american cti-
zens."
Let us look behind the formal phrases of the
immortal Declaration to the faith of these men
and Of the people for whom they spoke. What
was the faith that made vital their appeal for
the justice of their cause and the Righteousness
of their undertaking?
They believed in themselves; in their ability to
do right and justice. They believed in the COM
petence Of stalwart manhoodato govern itself and
to provide for the common welfare. They be-
ieved they could make better arrangements in
government than men had made before them.
They believed In themselves, in their people, In
America.
Americans Of late have done great deal of
fault-fndng with America. There is not so much
now as a year or two ago. The spectacle across
the Atlantic tends to hush It, and to give new
point to the saying that "other countries" are
what make Americans so proud OF their own.

The president Of the congress, John Hancock,
with the secretary Charles Thomson, alone signed
the autograph Jefferson document on that date.
Immediately afterward 1t was hurried to the Off
cial printer for congress-, John Dunlap, to put in
type and several copies were made. BY next
morning the printed copies of Jetfersons Declara-
ton of Independence were in Hancock's hands.
When he came to write the proceedings for the
Fourth of July, 1776 into the Journal Of Con-
gress, Charles Thomson, secretary of the congress,
left blank space for the Declaration and it is this
broadsde which now appears wafered into the
space left for it in the Journal.

the states to the Continental army, and it is the

"Well, not so very. He'll charge
you four dollars for the first visit and
two dollars for each one after that"
The old fellow soon afterward
walked into the Office of the physician
named by his friend, and upon being
admitted to the consulting room
planked down two dollars, remarking:
"Well, doctor, here am again"
The physician calmly picked up the
money and put it in a drawer, which
he locked securely. The sick man
looked on expectantly, awaiting the
next move.
"Well, I'm ready to be examined"
he said at length"
Il don't think it's necessary" re-
piled the shrewd specialist. There's
no need to do it again. Keep right
on taking the same medicine. Good

risen to greatness which has changed the face

pie scattered thinly along the coast of the At

people stretching over the whole continent from

however the membership had changed slightly, so
that the "signers" were not identical with the

The historian Buckle was cordial and sweeping

If such were the brilliant historians idea, Il
was as Professor Tyler remarked, because the

istence with the dignity and happiness Of human
