Travels of a Dollar.

Consider the rounds of a dol
lar when spent at home.
The farmer receives it in ex-
change for produce he ships to
the city markets.
He pays it to the grocer.
The grocer's wife must have
a new gown, and it goes to the
dry goods man.
That gentleman pays it to his
help, and the Iatter hands it ov-
er to the shoe dealer.
Mr.. Shoe Dealer wants q new
suit and the clothing imam gets
it.
A car goes on the blink and
the clothier transfers it to the
garage man. @ :.
The garage man is a pious sort
of a bird and drops it into q col

Then it reaches the church
treasurer, and he tickles the
palm of the preacher with it,
and the ministerial gentleman
slips it to the milliner in ex'
change for a hat for Mrs.

Mrs. Milliner needs some face
cream, and the beauty parlor OF
drug store gets it.
Then it goes to another grocer
for foodstuffs and the grocer
hands it over to the farmer fol
produce and the dollar starts or

"The Fourth Of July"

Oy ~ OOopP'
July the Fourth! Ali hail the day!
We greet with joy and mirth,
The day that tells US of the time
When Freedom had her birth:
When our forefathers dared to strike
From hands the cruel chains
OF bondage; till those hands made
free
Our liberty should gain.
Look backward through the mist of
To that epochal time,
When patriots in those famed halls
Struck forth that work sublime.
Close by the stately walls without
The people anxious stand;
Eager they are to hear the news
And send it DER the land.
"'Tis done 'Tis done, they've dared
to signr
Without, the people cry;
And heralds hasten with the news
To spread to towns near by.
And every where the news is borne
With hasty step and breath,
A noble PATRIOTS words go forth,
"'Tis liberty or DEATH"
A lonely lad, a sentinel,
Encouraged at the sight,
To the aged sexton on the tower
Cries out with all his might,
"Ring! Grandpa, Ring! They've
signed! They've signed!
The people shall be free"
And then with silver peals ring out
The bell Of liberty.
If we but listen, we can hear
Down through the silent years,
The silver peallng of that bell
That rings away our fears ,
OF tyrant power IEinstiIls
A passion for the right, ~"
And makes US brave to battle still,
For freedom with our might.
To-day no tyrant king attempts
Our people to oppress,
And yet some tyrant from within
Fain would all laws suppress.
Some BoIsheViki, with red hands
Would rule, all laws defied,
And cast away all sacred rights
For which our fathers died
Then come again, Oh Spirit High,
OF Seventeen-seVenty-Six!
Come fire our souls with love for right
And in our bosoms fix
A steadfast zeal, a patriotism,
A loyalty that's true;
That in life's battle, come what may,
The right We'll dare 10 co.
July the Fourth! Again, Ali Hail!
or all the days the best!
To every patriot soul that day
Shall be forever esi.
Then may We keep With loyal hearts
The spirit of her birth,
And ever live so freedom shall
Not perish from the earth.

GETTING
READY FOR
DEDICATION
N0rmingtOn, General Chairman of
Celebration to Mark Completion
of New Bridge, Tentatively
Set for Oct. 25

The committee which has charge of
the arrangements for the big cele-
bration to mark the completion of the
handsome new bridge across the river
in this city met last week to lay out
plans for the event. Z. A Morning
ton was elected general chairman,
Hugh Goggins secretary and 1. P.
Witter treasurer. Sub-committees are
to be appointed later to execute the
details of thesp1ans.
October 25 is being considered as
the date of the celebration. The paw
ing on the bridge is due to be COM
pleted Oct. 1, and by putting the cele-
bration off to the latter part of the
month, it was figured there would be
plenty of time in case delays should
develop. The aim is to make it the
most momentous celebration ever held
here. 1t is expected that business and
manufacturing here in general will be
suspended for the day and that the
people of the surrounding country will
join in large numbers with the Rapids
ties in the festivities.
Principal among the features that
have already been decided upon are a
monster industrial parade, a public
barbecue and fireworks display The
barbecue is to be under the supervis-
ion of AL. Lutieans of Port Edwards
and very likely will be held at the fair
grounds. It has also been suggested
to have vaudeville shows and games,
races and contests. AS a whole the
program is to provide something for
the amusement of everybody, old and
young.
