Fourth of July Celebrated All Over
The World e

In all the allied countries and their
colonies the American independence
day was observed in an unprecedent-
ed manner. In London and the
large cities of England there were
special exercises. Even the small
towns joined in honoring the United
States In France the people of
Paris and great many other cities
entered into the observance of the
day with their proverbial enthusiasm
and elaborate programs weree carried
out,
In Italy the smaller cities We'd
with tneir larger sisters in the cele-
bration of the day. South American
nations, three of which had declared
the day a national holiday, partici-
pated in what was virtually a world
wide demonstration in cOmmemOra-
ton of American independence.
Along the American sectors of the
battle line in France the day was OBJ
served by the boys in khaki, who
were called upon to perform only
work that was absolutely necessary.
The Germans, who had been expect
ed to seize upon the Fourth of July
as a dramatic setting for an attack
against some part of the line, did not
interrupt the celebrations along the
front

Johnny Wallace of Weldon, and
Peter Pinto the Pacing Horse.

1t is stated in Holy Writ that God
made man little lower than the
angels and by common consent the
horse is voted next highest in the
scale of created beings. So also the
horse the noblest of the brute crea-
ton and the best animal friend to
man since the Sheiks of Arabia kept
their records of their horses on tab
let's of ivory thousands of years ago.
Johnny Wallace invited his friends
to come to his place the evening Of
July first, to watch a workout of his
Peter Pinto s veins courses some Of
known in trotting history. Peter
the Great, the grand sire on the sire
side of Peter Pinto is now tn great
est trOtting sire in the world Time,
2.07A. Bingen the grand sire on the
trotting @ sire in in the world, 2.oSA.
The little horses performance on
the track doubly emphasizes the fact
that blood will tell, that like begets
like, that scientific breeding is worth
while.
The evening of July first was per-
encreng asi tG the he aa the a ed ms Was srafn
little son Forest, riding his half
blood Shetland and Maurice Hodges
riding his spirited little horse the
race was thrilling and exciting. First
heat PIP, second heat 2.12. The
spectators were enthusiastic over the
artful little horse Peter Pinto.
This race carries the writer's mind
back forty years ago to old county
fair times. Johnny Wallace is now
realizing his boyhood ambitions.
His dream at seven years of age was
to own a fine well regulated farm
with fine improvements and a circle
track passing the barn and a high
bred horse Of high mental and ply
sical performance. We hope and
predict that Johnny will win some
of the good prizes at the fall races.
Allow me to add word and di-
gress from the main issue: That is
that young person who concen-
trates their efforts on a particular
line of work t3ill surely win. And with
universal scientific training for ev
cry boy and girl to some useful oc-
cupation the millionaire's son and
daughter training side by side with
the day laborer's son and daughter
in this democratic age in this the
greatest democratic government,
God speed the day for universal
training and service.

The Why of Rye Flour.

Many people have wondered why
rye flour was taken from the list OF
substitutes. Here is the explana-
ton:
"On May it was estimated there
remained but 100000 bushels of
rye in, the United States. Against
this amount the normal consumption
in this country is $1,000 bushels
from May 1 to Aug. 1. If rye flour
had been continued on the substi-
tute list the available supply would
not last a month.
The United States is milling for
flour "A per cent of the wheat berry,
compared with 7S to S3 per cent in

of extraction is liability of loss from

big demand for the bran, left in the
milling, for feed for livestock

Many Claimed Exemptions.

The last of the questionnaires of
the 102 men who registered on
June 5th, have been returned to the
local board and passed on by them
and forwarded to Des Moines for
final examination by the appeal
board. An unusual large number
claimed exemptions of various kinds,
only 49 out of 1O2 making no claim
for exemption, so about 81 per cent
of the registrants filed exemption
claims, but probably large number
of them will be denied by the ex-
