Gettysburg, has the Fourth OF
July meant so much to the United
States as this one. We were then en-
gagged In the greatest civil war Of his
tory; we became involved this year In
the greatest war Of any kind the world
has ever seen.
AS that war kept the Union intact,
our participation In this war insures
the life of democracy, of rule by the
people, the world over. The first In
dependence day gave America her lib
erty; the Independence day of 1868
perpetuated 1t, and the Independence
day of 1917, coming SC soon after the
entrance Of America into the world
wide struggle Of democracy against
autocracy, Of freedom against tyran-
ny, will mark for all the world in the
ages to come q new birth Of hope for
rule "of the people, for the people and
by the people"
The Fourth of July has In years past
been a date on which to inaugurate i'm
portant enterprises. On July 4, 1917,

Observation-Disclosures has been a busy
one in Washington The RUSSIAN mis-
sion to the United States arrived and
got down to hard work, while congress
was considering some of the most i'm
pOrtant legislation that has been pre-
sented since the outbreak of hostilities.
The control of the supply and distri-
button of food, with Herbert G. Hoover
as food administrator, as provided by
the Lever bill, is all important; also the
coal shortage threatened to become Sc
rious for a time, but the action of the
railroads In giving coal shipments pref
erence has evidently solved this prob
lem.
The recommendation by the Federal
Trade Commission to congress of gov
eminent pools of coal production and
distribution and of rail and water rams
p~ortation brought quick results.
At a conference among Chairman
Peabody of the coal committee of the
Council of National Defense, Federal
Trade Commissioner Fort and Presi-
dents Rea of the Pennsylvania, Harri-
son of the Southern and other railway
and coal officials a tentative agreement
was reached for pooling the bituminous
coal output to relieve the present emer-
gency.
The railroads agreed to supply trans
portation to increase deliveries at sea-
board points by two or three million
tons per month, the price to be deter
mined later.
To Serve New England.
Especial attention will be paid to
points III New England, where fuel is
badly needed by munition and general
manufacturing plants.
The conference will continue with a
view to averting the drastic steps con-
templated by the government in deal
ing with the general trade situation,
particularly that relating to coal.
Important developments indicating
the purpose of the government to Co
ordinate the of the country
and compel their distribution at rea-
sonable prices have also become known.
They are:
The Federal Trade Commission In a
report to congress recommended the
pooling of coal and coke products un-
der the supervision of the government,
that the transportation agencies Of the
United States, both rail and water, be
similarly pooled and operated on gov
eminent account under the direction of
the president and that all such means
of transportation be operated as a unit,
the controlling corporation being paid
a just and fair compensation which
would cover normal net profit, upkeep
and betterments.

Human Activity.

The other day a famous author was
telling me how he felt when his first
story was accepted. He said that with
in a few minutes the thought flashed
across his mind that he could not stop
but must go on. One good story
must be followed by another and an
other and another-else his reputation
would die and he would be humiliated.
He said that the feeling was not ex-
actly comfortable-that the prospect
was in q way terrible. Being success
full" he said, sis not easy. The sue
cessful man advertises to the world
that he can do certain things we'll
and he must go on making good or
back off the map. It's great sensa-
ton, a great experience-worth almost
anything-but it isn't a snap"
1t is the same way in business, says
writer in the American Magazine.
The salesman who sets a high mark
has to go right out and beat that
mark or suffer by comparison with his
own record. He can't sit down in a
rocking chair and devote the rest of
his life to receiving congratulations.
Have you ever sat in a restaurant
and compared your job with that Of a
waiter? Try it some time. No matter
what your work is am sure you will
see the point if you watch the waiter
and think how exactly his job typifies
yours Take, for example, my job
that of an editor. An EDITORS job is
exactly like that Of a waiter. He has
to go and get something good and bring
1t in. And after he has brought it IN
he has to go right out and get some
thing more and bring that in. The
minute he sits down or stops to tall
unnecessarily with the guests, he
ceases to give as good service as be
FORE Then the guests who praised
him moment ago begin to growl
And so, almost Immediately, he has
turned from a good servant into 6
poor one.
This fits any line of human activity
A continuous performance is what is
wanted. Nothing else counts.

"AutomobiIe, Come Here"

Queen spoken than big red automo-
bile was suddenly seen at the entrance
of the wooded glen where the fairies
were talking.
"Ah!" said Fairy Princess Joy. "Now
for driver, or chauffeur, believe the
grownups call the person who drives
an automobile"
DRIVER" said the Fairy Queen, wav-
ing her wand again. Chauffeur or
driver, we bid thee come.'
And in another moment in the front
seat of the automobile the fairies saw
a little round man dressed in green,
wearing a flowing green cape and a
tall hat of green, with silver bells.
"Come on, fairies!" shouted Princess
Joy. "This is glorious !" They all
climbed into the automobile. Some sat
On the sides and some on the seats and
one fairy perched herself on the
shoulder of the little man, who did not
seem to mind in the least.
"We are to have twilight supper in
honor of Twilight-Bell," said Princess
Joy. "We must not start on our trip
just yet"
So Princess Joy brought out two big
baskets she had hidden away under
two bushes and gave each fairy little
napkin made out of ferns.
They had the most delicious supper,
but soon it was dark and Princess Joy
told the little old man to drive the car
along a country road she wished to
go.
They were instantly followed by a
band of Katydids. 81 had been told
that they would follow an auto light
and there is one at the back of this
and all other automobiles" said Prin-
cess Joy. To be sure, she was right
The Katydids flew along after the au-
| tomobile, and as they Topped their
wings up and down they sang. Such
a concert as they gave, and all the
fairies were so surprised and delight
ed, for they had not been able to guess
what sort of a trip they were going to
have with Princess. Joy. So once again
she was true to her name and gave
| JOY, bNt this time she said it was owing
to the kindly little Katydids:

Fairy Ybab.
AN automobile would be the thing
for the sort of trip am thinking Of"
said Fairy Princess Joy.
"Oh, you're thinking of trip, eh?"
asked Ybab. "Well, if I had known
that, 1 would certainly never have
thought of suggesting anything, for 1

party all thought OUT

Just at that moment Princess Twi-

called. in her beautiful bell-like voice

said Ybab.
'How are you this afternoon, Prin-
cess Twilight-Bell?" asked Princess

just like music. so I always want to

Fairy Ybab is the leader of the
fairies orchestra, you know, and loves
music above all things. She makes
wondrous music for the little creatures
of Fairyland, and they help her, too
"Of course" said Twilight-Bell, "you
are both right. 1t is quite as correct
to say Good evening as it is to say
