Years Ago Today.
RULE OF KINGS ENDED
Down East Yankees Put
Their Heads in a Moose
by Signing Paper.

One hundred and forty-five years
ago this Fourth Of July. group of
"down-east Yankees" put their
heads in a moose by signing the Dec
laration of independence.
That document gave birth TO the
United States. 1t forever ended rule
OF Americans by kings. To il you
owe your political independence and
government.
When the Declaration of indie
pendence was signed. July 4, 1875,
the battles of Lexington, Concord
and Bunker Hill had been fought
and Washington had taken charge Of
the Continental army.
CngreSs Slow.
With that much of a start toward
independence, it would seem that
the Declaration would have gone
through speedily.
But Congress was nearly as slow
in those days as now.
The first resolution Of indepen-
dence was introduced June by
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia. 1t
was debated, referred to committee,
and nearly a month went by before
it was adopted.
John Adams, who for two years
had been boldly advocating indepen-
dence, wrote: Il was avoided like a
man infected with leprosy, an dwalk-
ed the streets of Philadelphia in sol
itude, borne down by the weight Of
Yrunnurr1o-ifx-
offered Plan.
OF the delegates from tn Is orig
inal colonies, those from New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Delaware and South Carolina
were at first opposed to severing
British rule.
Thomas Jefferson arrived in Phil
adelphia and was delegated to write
the formal Declaration of indie
pendence.
He went about it eisurely-rented
room on a secnd floor in a quiet
neighborhOod and had carpenter
make him a special desk three feet
high and IA by 10 inches on top.
On this table. he penned the Decla-
ration, probably with his collar off,
for that June was hot.
The document came within an ace
Of going into the waste basket. JEFF
ferson was gloomy as II was debated.
Ben Franklin sat at his elbow and
tried 10 cheer him up with funny
stories.

NEWCOMERS SHOW

First Period of Salesmanship
Campaign Ends Next
Saturday Night.

L have been reading the on
nOuncement Of the Salesmanship
Club Campaign and have for some
time been considering entering, but
have been putting it Off. / began
to think that ! had put it off too
long and that il was too late TO en-
ter, but reading your insistent state
ments from day 10 day that it was
not too late, 1 have made up my
mind TO enter today and to make
every day of the coming week a
result producer. With the help OF
the $4,000 extra credit offer I feel
that by next Saturday 1 can be
among the highest standing MEM
bers." SO said a wideawake man
who entered The News-Times Sales
manship Club on Saturday.
This newly member is to
be congratulated on his good judg-
ment.
Perhaps he was a little slow In
answering opportunity's knock, but
he heard it just the same, and now
he is determined TO make up for
lost time. That viii not be a very
hard matter for him TO do so has
been demonstrated several times
during the past week by newcomers
who, as a result Of but a few days
work. are neck and neck with the
highest standing members.

This is without a doubt the most
important week of the Salesman
ship Club Campaign. Never again

showing this week viii have by Ear
the best Of it.
One member who just completed
her first $40 club Of new subsc-Ip-
tons and who was, therefore, en-
titled to the so, 600 extra credits,
did not seem to understand shat
there was no limit 10 the number
of extra credits that could be earn

the office with much enthusiasm. de-
termined TO earn several of the Co.,
600 extra credit vouchers before next

Those who are actively engaged

anxious - make a showing this
week because whatever they accom-
plish not only helps TO insure a lead
ing position at the close Of the cam
