John Harvard's History Traced.

Until modern times, says the Lon
don Graphic, John Harvard was "the
Melchizedek of New England" He
was without father, without mother,
without descent" SO profound was
the ignorance concerning The founder
of Americas first and greatest uni
" lily, that an offer Of princely re-
ward for five lines of definite infor-
nation" about him went unclaimed
Gradually, however, the labors of va
rious industrious investigators bore
fruit, until today John Harvard is a
real figure Of American history, whose
footprints on English soil are clearly
l.gible.

SPEED UP SHIPMENTS.

Uncle Sam is urging the people
!, help the government by laying
a a. many of their supplies as pos
sible before the coming of cold
weather, and it is the duty of all
patriotic citizens to respond to the
call.
While the appeal applies to
4 imperishabls commodities, it ap-
plies especially to coal, and peo-
pie should lay in full supply of
fuel before the summer passes. We
all remember the coal famine which
the country experienced last winter,
and the memory Of the suffering in
dured should impel us to fill our
coal houses this summer so that the
coming of another winter will find
us amply prepared.
Let's take time by the forelock,
and lay in an ample supply of fuel
before Jack Frost makes his ap-
pearance.
