INDEPENDENCE DAY STATEMENT ISSUED
 BY JOHN C. EMERY

Jchn G. Emery, National Com mander of the American Legion, on July issued the following lnde- pendence Day statement, advance copies of which were received in Juneau in the mail on the last steamer. The statement follows:
 Ours is a land of visions made real. Oppression brought to self reliant race of colonists the vision of an independent nation. States men of those colonies met, drafted and 145 years ago signed the death less document which proclaimed that vision to the world. Soldiers and sailors of those colonies through seven years of war fought in sup port of that declaration and at Yorktown achieved the victory which made the vision an accom- plished fact. 4b

and to march them from boats to the flagstaff at Yerba Buena. upon which, at o'clock, shall hoist the flag cf the United States under q saiute of 21 guns from the Ports mouth, after which the proclamation of the commander-in-chief Commo- dc.e Sloat. will be read in both Ian elaces for the information Of all classes.
 "I will thank you, therefore. to have it translated and ready for that purpose at the appointed hour. And be pleased to present my com plir1ents to the Alcade and say, if agree able to him, shall be gratified to euc him pleasant (presentO on the occasion; that I may, under the aUtEcrity of the proclamation, con- fir hlm in his official position un- ii! tne pleasure of the commander in-chinf shall be known
 Captain Montgomery step was taken following receipt of advices from Commodore Sloat, then aboard the frigate Savannah at Monterey, Cal. stating that the flag would be rai ised at Monterey and ordering like acton at Yerba Buena. as San Fran cisco then was known.

the national frontier by those who marched onward in fuliillment ol the national vision. This vision ot a united country triumphed in ClVll War over the vision of divided one.
 With the world afiame with the conflict between the forces of op- pressicn and autocracy from whlch our colonists fought themselves free and the forces of democracy anu freedom which the victory Of IS" established in the world, we crossed the ocean to fight again. The vision which first revealed itself on these shores one hundred and forty-ilve years ago found rebirth in the victory of 1918.
 ',While proclaiming the effect, let us not overlook the same cause which made possible the world trl- umphy of the vision of American ideals and institutions of govern ment. The cause lies in the fact l that in the beginning our colonistS were inspired by a sense Of lndl- vidual responsibility and obllga- ton to the state. What was true then is true today Each of us, as individuals, has our duty and our i obligation to our country. And ln the loyal performance of that duty s resides the hope and the security of cur national institutions.
 The American Legion can have no higher mission than to continue to work to instill i'll the hearts ol all, this sense of individual obliga- ton to community, state ant nation

SCOUTS THEORY SHE WAS DUPED
 MAKING 4 LOAN
Woman Claims Theodore Roosevelt Signed Note
 for Loan of $69,900.

HILI.SDALE, Ind, July 7.-Mrs. Emma Richardson Burkett, who has filed. a claim for $69, 900 against the estate of Theodore Roosevelt to col feet a note which, she says, the for mer Presiednt indorsed. told the story of the mysterious financial transaction.
 Mrs. Burkett says she met Roose- welt and man introduced as Charles J. Shunson, who, she be- lieved. was former Rough Rider, in Chicago office building dur , ing the Republican National Con vention of 1912, and there loaned the money to Shunson on his note, backed by the former President's s i signature.
 Shunson, she ayers, paid to her the interest on the alleged note until 1917, when, she said, he went to France. I She also declared that she ex- pected soon to receive a message to go to Cincinnati to see Mrs. Alice ! Lengworth, the former President daughter. but would not reveal the purpose of the contemplated trip. f I've offered to compromise" she said. "At first I asked for the prin- cipal and the interest for four years, but now I merely want the money back.
 Mrs. Burkett secuted the idea that she had been duped by a clever confidence man posing as the former 1 President.
 II knew Colonel Roosevelt too well for them to fool me" she said. T had heard him speak and had shaken hands with him half dozen times.
 She said she could produce, wit nesses who were present when in | terest payments were made by i Shunson.

 Nine men, who said -they had been duped by her. came from long distances to testify. Her scheme, 1 it was said, was to write to them that she was a handsome widow and would come to the writer, bu! that she had no money nor clothes Mrs. Burkett served 60 days in jail.

Fried Eggs With Variations.

If we fry eggs at all we should fry
them carefully. They are not at best
very digestible when fried for the
fat and protein in combination retard
the action Of digestive Juices. Badly
fried, they are a real menace to
health. 1t is little short Of tragedy
to think of eggs. costing what they
cost in these days. ruined in the
cooking, and so being, not a source of
health and vigor in the body, but a
, cause of indigestion with its attend
ant evils. However, man and boy,
they do love eggs fried; let US, there
fore. minimize the danger.
We must use good fat-crisco, mar
gerine, butter, bacon or beef fat. Let
it melt in the pan, break the eggs one
by one into a saucer and slip them
yolks or spreading the whites. Cook
them slowly, lifting the melted fat
by spoonfuls and dropping it over the
yolks. AS soon as they set and the
yolks are firm, remove the eggs and
serve them hot with scraps Of bacon
or ham. Never let the bottom side of
a fried egg scorch, nor the edges crisp
up with too rapid cooking. These are
breakfast eggs.
For lunch good dish is pre-
pared as follows: Pare ripe toma-
toes and cut them into slices half an
inch thick. Sprinkle them with salt
and pepper and dip them in -four. Fry
them until just tender. Fry eggs sep
arately and lay an egg on each slice
Of tomato.
When there is a little cold meat and
q few cold potatoes left over an at
tractive supper dish may be made by
putting them separately through the
meat grinder. the potatoes first. Have
| a quantity of bread crumbs equal to
the quantity of minced cold meat,
mix them, moisten with cream, and
season well with pepper, salt and
onion juice. Spread the mashed po-
tato in a neat border around a platter
or in a buttered pyrex baking dish
and lay the cold meat mixture inside,
making q little nest and putting a
hot oven.

suds "A broken-spirited day." Thought
I, "a day to echo the mood of tired
worker" And I was that tired worker,
standing on the after deck alone, feeling
a part of the drabness of it all.
Then the sun came out 1t was only a
sickly flare, but 1t was enough to show
the rainbow vaulting to the sky. Such a
rainbow! Not delicately shimmering
against the light. but flaming in an opal
arc of green and ruddy gold that seemed
to burn against the darkening sky.
"Rainbows for some ~ thought /. a little
bitterly-"rainbows and pots of gold,
but not for me-"
Then suddenly I saw the rainbow's g
end. Not in some f1owered recess of the
distant hills, but right there in the gray
ish foam beside the boat! Right from
the scum and litter of our wake it
sprang, that bridge of dreams and fire.
So that's Where rainbows end
and pots of gold are found! Not In
jeweled ease or far flung adventuring,
but in the spume and the surge of our
common toll and strain, in the drabness
of our daily journeyings. there we may
find it all-the arc of dreams like an
opars heart, the pot Of content which
no man may steal, the hidden power
and Joy.

Room to Expand.

You know the old-fashioned dress
makers who always used to make
dresses for children with enough
material turned up at the hem and
slowed away at the top of the skirt
to make 1T possible for the dress to be
expanded to meet the size require
ments for many years to come.
Some times the result was not pleas
ing. Perhaps the idea is not a good
one when applied extensively to
frocks, but 1t is a good one when
applied to houses. When you plan
your new house, if it is small one,
stop and think that within the next
decade you may want larger house.
The size of your family may increase.
You may do more entertaining. And
the house that has been built with
the possibility of expansion can be
expanded at very much less expense
than the house that has been built
with no such forethought.
In placing your house on your lot
always make allowances for a pos
sible garage, and In setting out your
trees and shrubs keep the garage
space clear from permanent shrubs
and trees which might have to be dug
out before long.
If you have a veranda, build it so
that it may be screened or glassed
in with small cost. There should be
foundation closed in with cement.
In arranging the hall on the bed
room floor arrange SO that in the
event that you do throw out another
wing. the hall would open into 1t
without having to break into any Of
the rooms.
Some persons who feel that they
may want more space later build a
house with living rooms and two bed
rooms and bath down stairs. Then
they have second story, finishing off
only one or two rooms for the time
being, leating the rest as attic. Later,
from this attic. other rooms may be
finished at small expense.
