money signed by Governor Collins its
owner in 1776. Belmont Hall is stu
ated on a portion of six hundred acres
of land formerly called "Pearman's

Pearman by William Penn on March

Collins on May "a, 1771. Thomas Col

nor given by Kent county to Della
ware, he enlarged the dwelling to its
present proportions in 1773. He was
Governor of Delaware when her depu-
ties ratified the constitution of the
United States. Washington said: "the
Constitution or disunion are before us
to choose from"-and the answer
came from Thomas Collins, the loyal
Executive of the loyal State of Della
ware. "The new Constitution involves
in its adoption not only our prosperity
and felicity but perhaps our National
existence" To our ancestors who
transmitted it down, our Constitution.

man government, is a birthright, the
noblest of mankind and we cannot but
admire these Delawareans who bv
their patriotism and persevering cour-
age and gallant deeds achieved our
National lndependence,-more than a
century has passed since its adoption.
Kingdoms have risen and fallen, gov
ernmentS built up only to be over
thrown, and the empires of the earth
from Greece to China have been shak-

this Republic, the shortest lived of all
forms of Government in the former
history of the world, surviving the
perils of foreign and domestic wal
has lived and flourished. The band
OF Union, framed to hold together
thirteen States has expanded to unite
forty-five States into mighty nation
of ninety+fve millions, spread from
Ocean to ocean and from the Tropic,
to the Frozen Seas.

"OlL ON TROUBLED WATERS
Can Be Traced to an Old
Latin Legend.

"To pour Oil on troubled waters"
means to smooth out a difference or
to allay commotion of any sort. The
original use of the phrase was quite
literal and goes way back to an old
Latin legend. Utta, priest, was sent
into Kent for Eanfied, the daughter
of King Edwine, who was to be mar
ried to King Oswirra. The priest went
to the bishop to ask his prayers for
safe journey, and the bishop, predict
ing tempest at sea, gave him a pot
of oil, saying:
Remember that you cast into the
sea this oyle that give you, an anon,
the winds being laied, comfortable,
fayer weather shall ensue on the sea-"
The tempest came as predicted and
the sailors and passengers were ex-
pecting death every minute, according
to the legend, when the priest, be-
thinking himself of the oil, cast it into
the sea. In a second the waves be-
came calm and the wind died down.
From that time pouring oil on trou-
bled waters" became popular meta
phor.

j Odd GEOLOGICAL Formation.

There is located Immediately west
of Junction City few miles south of
Danville, KY, wonderful geological
formation known as ''Bald Blue Knob"
This is a member of the chain that
branches off from the Cumberland
mountains and extends along the route
of the Knoxville division of the Louis
vile & Nashville railway. From its
foot to Its crest Is about 200 feet and
except on the large fiat top, with a
small knob In its center, it Is covered
with shrubbery and vegetation. The
top, however, is absolutely barren. Not
a sprig of any kind has ever grown
on it. The soil is as blue as indigo
and this coloring has never been af-
fected by the ravages of time. 1t is
believed by many that this knob was
at one time a volcano and that the
surface of the crest was belched forth
from the bowels of the earth. The
Bald Blue Knob has been an OBJ
ject OF wonder for many generations,
and hundreds of visitors ascend its
steep sides each year to view its
crown of richest azure.

OF INTEREST TO
EX- SERVICE MEN

4 A total of 168,109 disabled veter-
ans have been interviewed in the Ma
tional cleanup campaign of the U. 5.
Veterans Bureau. This campaign was
inaugerated for the purpose of in
forming all disabled veterans of the
benefits to which they were entitled
under the various soldier relief acts,
and for the purpose of preparing and
filing claims Of such veterans who
wished to file claims against the gov
eminent for disabilities received in the
service. AS a result of this campaign
these cleanup squads made 68, 143
physical examinations, forwarded
1886 new compensation claims, 25,-
s92 new vocational training claims,
prepared 33,475 appeal cases and hos
pitalized 3,545 veterans whose disa-
b;lities were of such a serious nature
as to require hospital treatment. In
addition to this work, the clean uC
squads re-instated and converted a
large number Of insurance policies.
The large number of cases which
were filed during this camnaign in
dicated that there were thousands Of
veterans throughout the United
States who were unaware of the bene-
fits to which they were entitled and
ignorant of the procedure of applying
for this compensation.
Supplementing this general clean
up campaign, the Director of the Bur-
eau inaugerated hospital cleanup
campaign whereby these cleanup
squads visited these veterans at their
bedsides and made necessary adjudi-
cation of their claims. These squads
have visited during this hospital
cleanup campaign all institutions
where beneficiaries of the U. S. Vet
Grams Bureau are hospitalized.
This effort on the part of the Vet
erans' Bureau to get in touch with
disabled veterans entitled to its bene-
fits has received the communication OF
veterans generally, of which the fol-
lowing telegram received today by
the Director of the u. S. Veterans
Bureau, Charles R. Forbes, from Tom
Bird, Department Commander,
American Legion, State of North
Carolina, is an example:

Honor Belongs to Frenchman.

More than half century after the
site Of the present city of Rio de
Janeiro in Brazil had been discovered
by the Spaniards, Andre Goncalves, a
Frenchman, directed the construction
Of the first house that was to prove
the start of the capital of the great
South American republic.
Goncalves had entered what Is now
known as the harbor of Rio de
Janeiro on January /, 1902. He
thought it was the mouth of stream
hence the name, "River of Janu-
ary."
In 1856 Durand Villegaignon, a
French Huguenot, accompanied by a
company of compatriots and core
ligionists, set foot on Brazilian soil.
He liked the country, and Immediately
founded the first colony Of white men
in that section of the world.

WOULD PRESERVE RARE BIRD
European Governments in Africa Unite
in Giving Protection to the
WhaIe-Head Stork.

Whale-headed, or shoebfll st0rks are
remarkably rare birds. The American
Museum of Natural History has re-
ceived a skin and skeleton of one or
.nese uncommon members of the feath-
cred world. Only four other speci-
ments of the birds are known to be In
this country. They were all secured
by Colonel Roosevelt and are all in
the National museum at Washington.
The wbale-headed stork is large
African bird found only in the papy-
rus marshes of the Upper Nile and
along the northern edge of Lake Vic
toria and on the upper Lualaba.
1t Is uncommon, even where found,
and very wild. 1t is now carefully
protected by all the European gov
ernments which have colonies in
Africa, special permission being re-
qlired for hunting It,
1t is of scientific Importance for
the reason that 1t may be related
20 the herons, and if So constitutes
very remarkable link between two
orders of birds. In appearance it Is
of gaunt, gray figure, some five feet
in height. It's large head is sur
mounted by little curled tuft. The
expression of its eyes is scowling.
It's huge bill, in shape similar to a
whales head, is tipped with for
midable hook.

Set Up New Landmarks.

Satisfaction rewards every forward
step by inspiring to still greater ad.
vance. Limitations become matters of
history as the modern spirit urges
souls to their full possibilities.
You have to be the director of your
own future. You will do well to rev.
erence the old landmarks. But you
will do better to use item as means
to establishing new ones. Cling to
the old home if you must. Today
more than ever the nation Is looking
for the fellow who dares and does
what conviction suggests.
The whole world lies before you.
Reach out and take hold of the great
possibilities that lie just beyond the
reach of the old landmarks. Let
knowledge grow from more to more
and you reveal 1t in wholesome. in
spring conduct.-Exchange.
