holders relieved from further obliga-
ton, but a considerable noun is
outstanding, and its holders nov find
themselves in the unpleasant position
of having their investments tied up
in litigation, with the prospect that,
as is common in such cases, only a
kpart of. what they originally paid will
be returned to them.
The great trouble in a multitude OF
such cases is that individuals permit
themselves to be persuaded into max
ing investments in business enterpris-
es with every detail of which they
are utterly unfamiliar. The farmer
in such a case is investing his money
in a business of which he does not
know even the rudiments, whose sue
cessful management requires the SER
vices of highly trained specialists, and
in many 8 he must rely solely on
the integrity and ability of men, who
are entire strangers to him. Invest
ments are being made constantly on
this basis, and as a result losses are
constantly being incurred.
There are a few business consider
ations which apply which are so sim
pie and SO obvious that it ought not
to be necessary even to mention them,
n yet they are constantly being dis
regarded. Among them may be men
toned the following.
Except for the promotion Of neces-
sary public and humanitarian move

to invest money in anything outside
of bis. " regular business until that
business is on Il safe and sound fl

When the individual is able to in
vest without embarrassing his W
business he should scrutinize closely
and from every angle the possible
ties of the enterprise in which he is
invited to engage. He cannot we'll
expect others to protect his interests
II he, himself, is indifferent to them.
When the money is available for
investment and the enterprise itself
seems sound, let the investor satisfy
himself as to the character of the
men to whom he is. invited to en-
trust his funds. Integrity is a prime
essential. of course. But integrity
alone will not suffice. To make, a
business enterprise succeed there
must be. business capacity. No in.

Hudson Became the Largest Selling Fine Car

Few of the 10000 Super-Six owners have
ever tried the limit Of Hudson speed or
power. They realize they have vast
reservoir Of ability that is never called on.
Yet no one mistakes it for mere idle
surplus simply because it is beyond his
ordinary requirements.
For that latent capacity is Hudson's
greatest value 1t is the life of a car. Be
cause of it, thousands are now getting the
fullest satisfaction and service from Super
Skies nearly five years old. They know
the durability it gives. They know what
it means in smooth operation. Their cars
have required neither costly requirements
nor constant attention to minor disorders.
Moreover, it is good to know that you
have at instant call greater speed, accel-
GRAFTON and hill-climbing ability than any
other stock car has ever shown.

gress postponed flnal consideration for
3 weeks. June IL. congress appointed
a committee Of ave to draw up the
Declaration Of Independence. Lee

the illness of his wife. Thomas Jeffer-
son Of Virginia was made chairman

Of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin
Of Pennsylvania. Roger Sherman Of

Of New York. The committee in

The committee made some changes
and Jefferson then made clean copy.
Congress reassembled July /, and the
Lee resolution was passed July 2.
How this action was then regarded IL
shown by John Adams letter to his
wife, In which he said:
"The second day Of July. 1770, will
be the most memorable epoch In the
history Of America. I am apt to be.

forward forevermore."
Jefferson then presented the report
Of the Declaration committee, the docu
ment now known as the Declaration
Of Independence. 1t was adopted the
afternoon Of July 4. John Hancock
as president Of the congress, affixed
his signature. Charles Thompson
countersigned as secretary. It wal

This In effect Is the first Fourth of

has been taught 1t. 1t reads well and
there is thrill In it. But It has one
large fault-it isn't true. As q matter
Of fact there wasn't any real "Fourth
Of July Celebration" at all in 1776
There couldn't be, for the reason that
the Declaration Of Independence was
continuing operation that lasted
pretty much the whole summer Of
that year. Incidentally, its culmina.
ton was July 2, instead Of July 4
Moreover, 1t was not until 1777 that
July was fixed upon as "the day we
celebrate" And 1t was in TIT In
Philadelphia that the first Fourth OF
July celebration was held.
To get the history Of the Declara
ton of Independence straight, we must
start with the fact that the American
Revolution was not begun for the
achievement of independence. The
American colonists began with the idea
Of securing the right guaranteed then
as Englishmen by Magma Charta, the
Bill Of Rights. and their own charters
The idea of separation and independ
ence was an afterthought and an out
growth of the hostilities faced by tn,
British at Lexington and Concord.
The historic declaration Of the citi
zens of Mecklenburg county. Nortl
Carolina, in May, 1775, was one of thu
earliest manifestations Of the trend o.
public opinion. In January Of 1776
Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common
Sense" appeared and gave the move
ment a tremendous impetus. June
1776. Richard Henry Lee, under in
strGtions from Virginia, presented t
the continental congress his famous
resolution which reads:
Resolved, That these United Colo
niles are and Of right ought to be, fre'
and independent states; that they ar,
absolved from all allegiance to tn
British Crown, and that all pOlitica
connection between them and tn
state Of Great Britain is and ough
to be totally dissolved;
"That 1t is expedient forthwith t,
take the most effectual measures TO
forming foreign alliances;
'That a plan Of confederation b
prepared and transmitted to the res
pective colonies for their consIdera
ton and appreciation"
Here, In fact. was the Declaration
Of independence in nutshell. Jun
