BINS FOR WHEAT

Farmers in sections where the acre
age of wheat is unusually large are
urged by the Department of agricul-
ture to provide enough bins on the
farm to take care of their wheat
when threshed. This is said to be
necessary to save the wheat that will
propably pile up IN certain localities,
because tue large crop ls likely to put
a heavy strain on storage elevators
and transportation systems. The
wheat should be stored in bins on the
farm. according to the Bureau of
Markets. which has issued circular
containing plans and drawings for q
portable bin that can be quickly
built. Copies Of this circular have
been distributed to county agents
throughout The large wheat-produc-
ing sections.

OUR NEW FOURTH OF July

The Fourth, this year, should iu-
deed be \ New Fourth. ;" The old
wav of celebrating is practically
extinct rs ls the whole range of pyro-
technical materials WITH which the
small boy-and some big ones-made
both day and night hideous. But let
no one imagine that because we are
to have q quiet Fourth, il must nee.
essariIy be a useless or dull Fourth. q
wasted holiday.
II is time to work to make the
Fourth loom up as one of the greatest
days in the history Of the world The
democracy for which the world is
lighting had its birth in the days of
l776 The democracy of which Eur.
ope boasts, rs in France, for in
stance. was not born Of the French
revolutionary war. The best prin-
clples of the French revolution have
an American ring. No wonder when
we remember that Benjamin Frank.
lin was at the French court and free.
ly scattered his liberal ideas left and
right, and they fell in a most fertile
soil. The new Fourth should be the
day of AmericaniZing influences and
teachings par excellence. 1t should
be made day on which to emphasize
the duty of the hour, rather than to
swell upon the glories of the past,
IL is necessary to recall the past in
order to understand the present. But
the emphasis should be placed upon
the duty of the day as the result Of
the past.
Loyalty must be given the greatest
emphasis possible. Recent daveIop-
ments in the United States, even in
our state show that citiz.ns born
here, brought up here, living in
American communities, or near
American communities. and some
who came from other landa, do not
have the slightest conception of what
they owe this country Of their adop.
tion, or of their birth, as the case
may be.
The New Fourth should be made a
day 10 teach patriotism ina practical
way. Even our very parades should
have this for an object We can best
honor our political forefathers, not
SO much by praising them with words
of mouth-talk is cheap, generally
but by trying to inculcate into the
minds of the generation of today the
great principles for which they fought
and willingly gave their all.
With our own boys at the front.
there is no lack of inspiration to-
make the New Fourth one long to be
