This Is about the way the average
schoolboy-not to say some older
Americans-thinks the Declaration OF
Independence came into existence, the
independence of the United States OF
America was secured and the Fourth
OF July became national holiday.
While some Of the details concern
Ing the Declaration Of Independence
will always be matter of argument
among historians, the sequence of
events Is clear and runs like this:
Fighting between the Americans and
the British began April 10. 1775, at
Lexington. Even after the fighting
was on 1t was some time before the
movement for independence gained
much Roadway in the public mind
February IL, 1776, a committee ap-
pointed to prepare an address to the
country presented Its report to con-
gress. This report reads in part:
- "We have been accused Of carrying
on the war for the purpose of estab-
fishing an empire. We disavow the in
,tention. We declare that what we
aimed at and what we are entrusted
by you to pursue is the defense and
re-establishment of the constitutional
rights Of the colonies"
It was not until June z, 1776, that
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia intro
duced a resolution which was to be-
come only less familiar than the Dec
laratlon Itself. This resolution con-
'tains the famous sentence: "That
these United States are and of right
ought to be free and independent
states; that they are absolved from
all allegiance to the British crown,
and that all political connection be-
tween them and the state of Great
Britain Is and ought to be dissolved"
This resolution was debated many
times by congress. The chief speak
ers for separation were John Adams,
his cousin. Samuel Adams; Roger
Sherman. oliver Olcott, kichard Henry
Lee and George Wythe. John Dick
inson of Pennsylvania led the opposi-
ton for delay. prominent among his
followers being John Jay, James VIII
son, James Duane, Edward Rutledge
and Robert II. Livingston. but it was
evident from the beginning that they
were In the minority.
To save time q committee was ap-
pointed on June IL to frame the Dec
laration of Independence. Strange to
say, Richard Henry Lee, who was the
father of the resolution, and by par
liamentary right should have had the
craftsmanship Of the committee, was
left out of 1t. The reasons for this
omission have been variously ex-
planned. 1t Is a fact that he was alb
sent when the committee was named,
having been called home by the illness
Of his wife.
The five members were Thomas JEFF
ferson of Virginia, John Adams of
Massachusetts, Benjamin. Franklin of
Pennsylvania, Roger sherman of Con-
necticut and Robert II. Livingston of
New York. All FIVE were prominent
In the congress and In national affairs.

Potato Salad.

This is well-liked salad and may
be prepared in so many ways that 1t
Is always delight. Cut up the cold
boiled potatoes In small cubes and mix
with small finely minced onion, add
some corn oil and vinegar, salt and
paprika and let 1t stand until nearly
time to serve, then add small Gu
cumber and a spoonful or two Of any
well-seasoned boiled dressing. A
little peanut butter and cream added
to the dressing will give piquant fla
vor, or lacking that add dozen or
two Of minced peanuts. A spoonful or
two Of canned corn also adds much to
the flavor, or finely minced green
pepper. One may vary. the seasoning
and always have new salad.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, June 24.-Acute weakness in the corn market today resulted largely from general belief that bull ish effects of peace had been well discounted in advance. After a fall of about six cents from yesterdays top, the market closed nervous, 3 to 4c net lower, with September 174 5-8 to 174 7-8 and December 152 1-2 to 152 5-8. Oats lost to 2 3-4c and provisions 15 to 77c.
 Sharpest breaks in corn prices oc- cured after midday when liquidatine sales by holders broadened out and the fast was evident that the market lack. ed the rallying power which had beer conspicious of late. A contributing reason was pronounced drop in hog quotations. Besides weather condi ditions were the right sort for tho growth of the new corn crop. How ever, profit taking. by shorts led tt something of rally at the finish.
 Oats tumbled with corn. Omaha in terests led the selling.
 Weakness was the rule in provision. owing to the downward course o1 grain and hogs. The lard market especially was waek.

COTTON VALUES FIRM UP AFTER
 SHARP DECLINE

New York, June 24.-An early ad-
 vance in the cotton market was fol-
 lowed by sharp reactions which were
 taken in some quarters as indicating that the bullinsh view of peace had been pretty we'll discontinued. There
 was continued nervousness over the
 new crop outlook, however, while re-
 ports from the goods trade were bull-
 ish and the general list closed steady
 at net decline of 8 to 15 points. The market opened steady at an
 advance on sold up during the early trading on higher Liverpool cables
 and reports that the Lancashire strike had been ssettled. Trade buying against sales in October was supposed to indicate comparatively few notices would be issued tomorrow. Offer ings increased on the advance and the market was unsettled during the mid dle of the day by rumors of polltl- cal developments in Germany which might delay the signing of the peace treaty. There also was nervousness over the heavy tone of the stock
 market and talk of higher money and there was considerable Wall Street selling on the break which uncovered stop orders. Houses with Japanese connections were among the sellers of October, but after the stop orders had lb been executed prices firmed up on covering and trade buying which may lhave been promoted by the continued bullish character of private crop ad- voices.

New Orleans Cotton.


 New Orleans, June 24.-Peace news, much higher cables than due, the re- port that the Manchester strike had been settled and continued rainy weather. in the belt put the price of cottcn to new high levels in the early trading today, but almost lm- |mediately the market met heavy real izing from the long side and equally heavy offerings from short account, the latter from the traders who sougth to force a wide reaction. Dur in a good part of the season, the market was depressed below the level |of yesterdays close but toward the end it steadled on flood of bad crop reports from the interior and closed |at net decline of 2 to Is points. Several times during the day there were small recoveries but no decided strength was shown until late when buying followed on complaints or serious crop injury from too much rain and expectations that the weekly crop returns from the government tomorrow would be unfavorable.
 Cotton closed steady at a decline of 2 to IS points.
