On September IL, 1777, when the
American army were defeated by the
British, on Brandywine creek, about
twenty-five miles from Philadelphia,
the city became doomed to fall into
the hands of the enemy, and Alexan-
der Hamilton advised congress to
pack and get out. On September l8
that body made hasty adjournment,
to meet again at Lancaster, sixty-eight
miles away, and left Philadelphia that
night. But before they adjourned
they took thought about the Liberty
Bell! Congress determined to save
the bell if possible!
1t was not matter of mere senti-
ment. The bell was comparatively
new then, and there were few sacred
memories clinging around it. The
resolution of congress included some
church bells in the city also. In fact,
congress regarded the bells as just so
much metal which the British might
break up and cast into cannon.
So the bells were ordered to retreat
to place of safety at Allentown, fifty
miles away, and, the executive COM
mittee of congress was charged with
the duty of supervising the job.
The Liberty bell weighed 2,0S0
pounds and caused some trouble CON
veying it enroute. But the bell went
on to its destination where, girdled by
its def'nt Bible text, j. 81

the United States is FalrhOpe,
Alabama, and it has achieved
success.
The colony was conceived and the
corporation organized in Des Moines
in February, 1894. No stock was
issued and, therefore, there has never
been any distribution of the profits.
The land purchased when the colony
was settled = approximately 1000
acres-now belongs to the corpora
ton, which acts as trustee for colonists
contributing to the purchase of the
land. The amount expended in max
ing the original purchase has long
since been repaid.
Individual possession is secured un-
der 99-year lease, the lessee agreeing
to pay annually into a common fund
the appraised value for the privilege
of possession of his particular tract,
the amount varying according to the
relative advantage of location and
natural qualities of the tract.
The trustee corporation uses the
fund thus created to pay taxes, not
only upon the land, but upon the i'm
provements and personal property of
the individual lessee, and to expand
any portion remaining for such public
purposes as majority of the colonists
approve.
Improvements, including buildings,
crops and fruit trees, remain the prop
erty of the lessee and can be sold at
will. Leases on land may also be
transferred at any time, the rental be-
ing fixed from year to year by the
colony. Thus Fairhope does away
with the land speculator.
Membership in the colony is op-
tlonal and open to all corners. There
are now approximately 800 lessees
quartered on colony land, which
represents resident population of
more than 700, who have gone to
Fairhope from all sections of the
United States, particularly from the
middle west.
Although situated on Mobile bay,
only II miles from Mobile, the colony
has its own business, banking and
educational institutions, as well as
places of amusement. Agricultural
pursuits-truck gardening and fruit
laising-predominate as the principal
industry.
The colony boasts of stable bank,
capitalized at $4,000 with deposits
of $l50,000, located in Fairhope. Pub
llc utilities are owned by the colony.
Most famous of all the institutions
of the colony is the Organic School
of Education, occupying five build
ings and 10 acres of land. Its prin-
cipal is Mrs. Marietta L. Johnson.
With annual rentals ranging from
65 cents to s. an acre on country
lands and from So to $50 ON town
lots, the coloniSts unanimously declare
that the plan is a success. Leaders
are urging Congress to adopt the
scheme on larger scale for develop
waste lands and settling returned

PHILADELPHIA .-SHRINE OF
OUR INDEPENDENCE
Selected

closely connected with Indepen-
dence day that any mention of
the latter recalls the great part
played by the city in the signing of
the Declaration of independence,
and the large number of historical
buildings and relics that attract visi
tors to the city not only from every
part of the United States but from
many other countries as we'll.
The chief mecca of the patriotic
visitor to Philadelphia is Indepen-
dence hall in which is contained that
great shrine of American indepen-
dence-the Liberty bell. The land
on which this building stands was
purchased in 1880. The structure,
erected as a State house for the old
colony of Pennsylvania, was slow in
building, the first portion to be fin
ished being Independence hail." a
room 30 by 40 feet and almost 20
feet high. The next part of the build
ing completed was the Judicial cham
Der, of the same size as independence
hall, and separated from it by three
arches.
After the Revolution the -woodSll
steeple was declared dangerous and
taken down. Later the wings were
altered to provide more Office room
for the county commissioners, and
other changes very much altered the
original appearance of the structure.
The entire property was purchased
by the city of Philadelphia in 1918,
and every effort made to restore it
to its original lines. The spirit of
the old architects and builders has
been respected and today, as in
Colonial days, the State house typifes
the refined simplicity and sincerity
which has left it precious legacy.
In Carpenters hall the first Cont
mental congress convened Sept. 5,
i774, continuing in session until Oct
ober 20. The second Continental
congress also convened in this same
hall, May 10, ITS, but later moved
to the old State house where the
Declaration of independence was
adopted.
In independence hall Gen. George
Washington took the oath as cam
mander of the Continental army,
June l6, 1775. Three years later
the Articles of Confederation were
signed in this same room, and in 1887
the Constitution of the United States
was adopted and signed. The old
building in which George Washing
ton and John Adams took the oath
Of Office as President of the United
States stands beside independence
hall, but much altered from the origi-
nal structure.
The old Liberty bell, which rang
out the glad tidings that the Con-
tinental congress had dared to sign
the Declaration of independence, is
known throughout the world. 1t v;s
cast in England especially for the
State house, and imported in 1852.

JAPAN RECEIVES LINE
FOR ASSEMBLING; FORDs

Saturday, Oct. 9, was a great day
in industrial Japan, for it marked
the assembling f:the first Ford car
on a progressive assembly line similar
to those used by the Ford Motor COM
pany in its various American branch
es. The line was installed by Sale &
Frazar, Foff dealers for the Japanese
empire. in their Yokohoma branch,
for the purpose of assembling faster
and more economically the Knocked
down cars which they receive from
the Ford foreign department in New
York City. It is equipped to handle
a maximum of 200 Ford cars a month.
Many of Sale & Frazar's employees,
besides a>number of specially invited
guests ATTENDED the event. Motion
pictures were taken of the chassis
as it grew from frame to completed
car, ready to leave the line under its
own power. The Japanese gazed
with intentness at the assembling as
the car moved along, growing more
complete with each mans work.
Following the completion of the
car, banquet, or "chow" as it is
known there, was given the Japanese
worl,men. Altogether, it was a big
day.
