Richmond, Va, May 29.-Today is
the one-hundred and eighty-sixth ami
versary of the birth OF Patrick Henry
in Studley, Hanover county, Va, and
the One-hundred and fifty -senenth ami
versary Of his submission to the Vir-
ginia house Of burgesses here of a
series Of resolution. which inflamed the
public mind against the stampact and
made himself leader Of the colony. He
offered the resolutions nine days after
taking his seat in the house, and they
were opposed by all the members who
had been leaders of the body up to that
time.
The resolutions proposed by Henry
on May %, 1865, defined the rights OF
the colony and pronounced the stamp
act unconstitutional and snbversive OF
British and American liberty. Henry
advocated the resolutions IN a speech
which. Thomas Jefferson described as
surprising any he had ever heard
Five Of them were carried, the last by
the ma ority-0f one All Of them were
published, and inspired open antag-
Onism to the existing British rule.
Henry, Acclaimed by John Ran

Garrick combined, was born In 1876,
son of John Henry, a scotsman, and
Sarah Winston, who was Of English
descept HIS rMternal grandmother
was d cousin of an historian, William
Robertson, and of the mother OF Lord
BrOugham.
Henry contributed to the opening OF
the regions west of the IL original
states by sending out, as governor OF
Virginia in 1777. the expedition under
George Rogers Clarke which won from
the British the territory northeast OF
the Ohio river. He was persistent
advocate of the American right to free
navigation of the Mississippi, the
mouth of which was held by the Span
ish.

slavery in an address delivered June

value of the American food provided
has been estimated ut SS.5OO.OOO. This
amount is less than one-fourth the cost
of a first.class hattleship. said Francis
X. Bacon. of Philadelphia. chairman
Of the Friends committee. He added
that from the beginning the Quakers
had the full support of the German
government which. since October l92O.

in the ration given to the children. IN

all the costs of insurance ana dlstri-

Of Friends paid the overhead expenses.
The German cont ribution is estimated
to average about two-thirds of the
value of the cooked meals. Mr. bacon
said that the withdrawal OF the
Friends committee from this work was
made possible because il appeared that
the Germans were now capable ana pre-
pared to carry il ON themselves.
The American feeding reached IT'S
height in June and July last year when
more than l.OOO.Oo0 children were re-
ceiving an extra meal daily through

Webster City's tenth Community day
up" bargain day.
Thirty-one merchants have entered
the list. all determined that the tenth
community day shall be the equal, If
not the superior. Of any prior bargain
day held in this city.
This is a pretty busy season for the
farmers and, hence 1t was necessary to
make the bargain list an unusually at
tractive one in order to make it really
worth while for the farmers families
to come TO Webster City on this day.
An innovation is being put into prac-
tice on this tenth Community day.
Heretofore each merchant has been
limited to one bargain on this day. At
the last meeting of the Webster City
AG club, however, it was voted to per-
init each merchant to offer as many
as three bargains If he wishes. The
result is that this months Offering in
Cludes some eighty bargain offers. This

this can be done is to offer goods ut
