Only a Trifle

Some days have passed now
since J. p. Morgan and his
syndicate of bankers refused
to sanction a German loan. yet
il has failed TO create even n
ripple of excitement, either of
chagrin or relief.
The reason for our sublime
indifference? The amount was
too insignificant. Only a pal
try billion dollars. or three
hundred billions of German
marks at the present rate of

The Day That
Never Dies

No day of the Christian cal
endar Is on a par with that of
Christmas. but next to il, the
Fourth Of July Is the one most
indelibly fixed in the minds of
all American people.
II signifies LIBERTY, and
liberty is our most cherished
inheritance. bequeathed to us
by our sturdy forefathers and
maintained by our strength
and determination.
July 18th is a great day for
flag waving, speech making,
and general jollification. II is
our method of signifying our
undiminished admiration of
and gratitude TO the heroes of
l776 who won imperishable
fame by freeing our struggling
colonies from the oppressive
rule Of a foreign king.
Great events of history be-
come dim in the minds of men
as time flies on. but Indepen-
dence Day remains ever green
in memory and the deeds of its
creators never die.

A city exchange remarks
that some towns spend more
time in sounding their slogans
than they do in cleaning their
streets.
II is quite true. to the detri-
ment of the towns. Glowing
slogans cause the stranger TO
expect something out of the or
binary, and when he learns his
mistake his interest ceases to
exist.
Fine words on the wings of
wind travel a long way. but a
clean street leaves a more last
