instructed to vote in its favor, on July
4, which thenceforth became the recog-
nized birthday Of the new nation.
The old bell ringer of Philadelphia,
who had been patiently waiting for the
news in the steeple of the historic
statehouse, was the first to peal out
the message of American independence
on the bell ever since honored as the
Liberty Bell. No longer was there any
doubt that public opinion was ready
for the step, for, as the news spread,
1t was everywhere received with ex-
ultation.
Word came to George Washington
July 8, at his headquarters in New
York, that the Declaration was ratified,
and 1t was at once read to the SOL
diers and citizens. On the same day
the New York assembly, in session at
White Plains, gave its formal vote for
independence, and the thirteen colonies
were then united in their common
cause.
John Hancock, president of the con-
gress, was the only member who signed
the declaration on July 4. An engross-
ed copy on parchment was ordered for
all the delegates to sign. This was
completed August 2 and signed by "a

There might very well be canning
club in every house. In few cases.
Of course, the club must consist just
of the husband and the wife. But, in
the great majority of cases there will
be large membership-some boys
and girls, a grandmother or grand
father, or both. And it could be made
mighty interesting organization, be-

Thomas Mexican of Delaware, who was
absent with his regiment in August,
and Matthew Thornton of New Hamp-

until the fall, but was permitted to
sign the document in November, max

"signers" Sc.
The Two Most Famous signers.
OF all the signers, Jefferson and
Adams bear deeper personal relation
to the declaration than any others.
Adams was its most vigorous supporter
in congress and Jefferson bears testi-
mony to his valuable aid. In after
years both received the highest honors
that the citizens could bestow. They
were permitted to witness the growth
of their country for half century
from the first independence day. The
day of their death, July 4, 1926, was
the fiftieth anniversary of the memoir
able Fourth of July. It was the most
remarkable coincidence ever recorded
in American history. Jefferson was
eighty-three years old and John Adams
ninety-one years.
The SO signers were distributed
among the 13 states in the following
proportion: Pennsylvania, 8; Virginia,
z; Massachusetts, g.; New Jersey. 8;
Connecticut 4; Maryland. 4: New
York, 4; South Carolina, A; New
Hampshire, 8; Delaware, 8; Georgia,

Richard Henry Lees Resolution.
Things moved rapidly in the colonies
after that, and Richard Henry Lee Of
Virginia rose in the Continental con-
gress at Philadelphia, June z, 1776, and
presented his famous resolutions which
led to the Declaration Of Independence.
The resolutions, in Lees handwriting,
and now one Of the treasured papers
in the library of congress, were:
Resolved, That these United Colonies
are and Of right ought to be free ard
Independent states; that they are alb
solved from all allegiance to the British
crown, and that all political connection
between them and the state of Great
Britain Is and ought to be totally dis
solved;
That It Is expedient forthwith to take
the most efectual measures for form
ing foreign alliances;
That q plan of confederation be pre-
pared and transmitted to the respective
colonies for their consideration and APP
probation.
Here, in fact, was the Declaration Of
Independence in nutshell. proposed
by one of the most eminent men Of
the most influential colony at that
time and promptly seconded by John
Adams Of Massachusetts. 1t was deem

So many people have been troubled
with sore throats this spring. 1t Is
most unwise to allow this condition to
progress, since many serious forms of
sickness start with "just sore throat"
When the throat feels raw, half-hour
gargling periods, using warm salt wa
ter. are advised. This IL an antiseptic
and removes the irritation. Again

French People Our True Friends.
The true and controlling reason why
the government of Louis XVI inter-
vened in our war of independence was
the enthusiasm Of the French people
for the cause of liberty. Considera-
tions of material advantage were en-
tirely secondary. Public opinion forced
the hand of an unwilling and hesitat-
ing government. and placed at our

rable as those events are as the fore
runners Of the great conflict, failed to
arouse any widespread enthusiasm for
independence. 1t is even significant to
note that just year before the Dec
laration Of Independence was unani-
mously approved by all Of the thirteen
colonies the Continental congress that
had appointed Washington comman-
der in chief of the army, drew up, July
6, 1775, declaration Of the causes for
taking up arms In which 1t was said:
We mean not to dissolve that union
which has so long and so happily sub
sisted between US and which we sincere
ly wish to see restored.
Even Thomas Jefferson, the author
Of the Declaration of Independence,
two months after the battle of Bunker
Hill wrote that he was "looking with
fOndness toward q reconciliation with
Great Britain"
A few far-sighted leaders like Ben
jamin Franklin, Samuel and John
Adams and Patrick Henry had felt at
a comparatively early date that
a break was inevitable.
The historic declaration Of the citi-
zens of Mecklenburg county, North
Carolina, in May, 1775, was one of sew
eral local events indicating that public
opinion was tending toward independ-
ence, but not until the appearance Of
Thomas Paine's stirring pamphlet,
"Common Sense" early in January,
1915, was there any appreciable public
sentiment in its favor. In the plain
language of the day it presented the
facts SO simply that all could under
stand. This phenomenon" as John
Adams styled Paine, suddenly found
himself transformed from Obscurity to
fame. The Pennsylvania Legislature

Department Of Agriculture Re-
duces Essential Principles
to Simple Terms.
FULL INFORMATION on WORK
Small Children, Grandfathers and
Grandmothers May Be Efficient
Soldiers In Service Of Nation :.
by Assisting.

Anybody who can do good house
work and who will make serious ef-
fort to master some essential details
can be a successful home Gamer.
OF course, good sense and more than
ordinary care must be exercised, and
certain definitely demonstrated prin-
ciples must be adhered to.
It is not necessary to discuss those
principles here. The United States
department of agriculture has reduced
them to simple terms and printed them
in plain language. Full printed infor-
nation on canning may be had from
the department of agriculture by any
who care to ask for it-both general
information and specific information
on particular fruits and vegetables. In
addition to that. the department Of
agriculture has an army Of home dem
onstrators, experta in canning, who are
anxious to give practical, first-hand in
struction, and one Of whom is within
reach of practically every housewife in
the United States.
Operation and Equipment.
The operation is simple. Means Of
instruction are adequate and easily
available. The equipment is neither
expensive nor hard to find. An or
binary wash boiler with some strips of
board at the bottom is as good a can
ming boiler as can be found. There is
no equipment required in canning be-
yond the ordinary articles to be found
In the average household.
The things that must not be so read
fly dismissed is the duty Of everybody
to see to it that all fruits and vege-
tables not required for immediate use
shall be canned and carried over Into
the winter, to increase the food supply
of world that, for some time to come,
cannot be very far from the verge Of
hunger.
There is, as everybody knows, a
shortage Of available labor for food
production. All people cannot do all
the kinds Of labor that are necessary
to produce food. But here is an op-
portunity for those who cannot plant
and plow, harvest and gather into the
garner-an opportunity to make avail
able large quantities Of as good food
as there Is in the world.
Housewife a. Director.
Probably the housewife, In most
cases, will have to be the director of
the canning operations. But, in most
cases, she will not have to do all, or
even the greater part, Of the labor. In
most of the processes Of canning, boys
and girls-even comparatively small
boys and girls-can be efficient help
ers. Old persons -grandmothers who
have ceased to be active heads Of
houses and grandfathers who have
long since retired from business-can
do excellent work in helping along the
canning operations render as real
and a. efficient service to the nation
a. tAslr stalwart sons who are growing
food eIops or making munitions Of
war o. baIlding ships.

Sausage Balloon Makes Wild
Flight to Iowa With Two Pas
sensers. Escape Injury

Lieutenant Lewis, stationed at
Fort Omaha, and a balloon school
student, whose name was not
learned, experienced a narrowing
mid-air flight in a runaway Ca
quot balloon Sunday afternoon,
when one of the huge observation
balloons broke loose from it's
mornings and took a wild course
across the Missouri River. The
French type observation bag sped
north of Council Bluffs, over Mo.
Valley, Iowa, and finally was
brought down near Logan, Iowa,
exactly one hour after it had es-
capped from Fort Omaha. Lieuten-
ant Lewis, pilot, and his compan-
ion landed uninjured.
Immediately following the bal
looms sudden ascension, Lieuten-
ant Ferguson, who was in charge
OF the men at the north end of the
Fort Omaha field where the sau-
sage started on its wild course,
Communicated an automobile and
crossed over to the Iowa side OF
the river in an attempt to keep
on the rugged trail of the speed
ing monster. A balloon squadron
went to Logan in army trucks to
bring back the runaway bag.
Gable Breaks
The cause of the accident was
q broken splice in the cable. The
huge bag had descended from a
normal height and was brought
