Cape Cod Turnips.

On Cape Cod a special type OF
turnip is being developed. Not
that there is anything unusual to be
said for the taste of this turnip as
compared with similar turnips raised
elsewhere. But the interesting thing
about the Cape Cod turnip is that
1t will grow on farms having sandy
top soil. 1t has proved useless to
recommend that the regular Cape
Colder move elsewhere II he wished
to grow crops that did not promise
to do well in the-Barnstables and the
Truros. why not adapt the crops
to the land?' asks the native. The
answer is turnip with an unusually
long tap root which penetrates below
the sand stratum to the moist SUBJ
soil and hourishes even in spots that
weeds ind diseouraging.

stIVlHE AUTHORSHIP of the Declaration of In
L dependence, like the plays of Shakespeare is
shrouded in doubt" asserts the National Republi-
can. Some assert that it was a substantial copy
of the Mecklenburg IN. c. resolution adopted in
May, 1775, and prepared by DIR. Ephriam Brevard
inspired by the national religious covenant of
Scotland. Others assert that the original draft was
made by Thomas Paine, a close personal friend of
jefferson and the author of the famous pamphlet
known as Common Sense that did SO much to
arouse the cOlonists to rebellion and to stimulate
them in their determination to attain independence.
On the tombstone over the grave of Thomas Jeffer-
son are these words: Here lies buried Thomas JEFF

indicating that notwithstanding the controversy,
the general belief attributed the authorship to JET,
5erson.

some OF the school of 'intelligentia' teach that
OTIS and the two AdamEes, Hancock and Jefferson,
sherman and Harrison, Ice and Morris, were a
cheap lot of people devoid of learning and alto
gether ignorant and boorish. Only a few days ago
Il was declared by a well known public character
that the .signers of the Declaration of I~ndepend-
ence were socialists and bolshevists.'
THAT doctrine, taught and spread broadcast
among the youth of the land, should arrest the at
tentlon of patriots in these perlous times. A brief
study of the lives of the signers of the Declaration
of Independence shows clearly that they were high
minded men Of affairs, filled with a sublime sense
of constructive liberty. They were not envious
OF those who had property; they rebelled against
the absence of protection for their own goods and
the needless confiscatior of those goods by a foreign
government They were pious folks and believed in
the sanctity of marriage and the home. They re-
spected law and order and sought to establish a
government founded on law and order. In all re-
spects they were the exact opposite of radical so.
cialists and bolshevists.
\ John Hancock was n Harvard graduate, a be-
lever in the enforcement of law and the protection
of property. He was a patriot and contributed
much to the cause of liberty. Benjamin Franklin was
the ablest and most conservative man CT his time.
His glorious achievements for the republic and the
world make him, next to Washington, the founder
of the nation. Robert Treat Paine attended Har-
ward and was n man of sterling integrity. Oliver
Wolcott, Richard Stockton, Josiah Bartlett, Philip
Livingston, Roger Sherman and William Hopper,
were patriots of the highest order, and men of lofty
character. jefferson was brilliant, wise and pa

of all the fiftysix ~signers. They were noble men
who dared to pledge their fortunes and their sacred
honor on the issue raised With prophetic vision

when we must choose between the preservation and

to decide; and in seeking for guidance in that deci-
sion, all should read and reread the Declaration of
Independence, ponder over its source of inspiration
and study its magnificent results. The old ideals
must not be abandoned for new, without due
thought and elaboration. The Declaration is the

Constituents Approve Them

EIGHT STATES have held primaries at which
~ nominees for congress- were selected D all par
ties. In these primaries 90 Republican members of
the present house of representatives were candi-
dates for denomination on the Republican ticket.
Of these 80, the vast majority were unopposed. OF
these who were opposed in the primaries, only six
were defeated-two in Illinois and four in Penn
sylvania. Summed up, out of 90 Republican mem
bers of the present house of representatives who
have gone before the people Of their districts in
this year and asked for an Endorsement
of their record and the record of the Republican
congress 1856 per cent have received that indorse-
ment. The following is a detailed statement of the
results in each state where a Republican primary
has been held to date:
South Dakota-The entira Republican delegation
in the present house, three in number, asked for re-
nomination and all secured denomination.

house asked for denomination and 10 received re-
nomination

asked for denomination and all received renomina-
ton.

The Story Of Reynolds Life

Marshall Stark Reynolds, who has
announced his candidacy for the nomi.
nation on the Republican ticket at
tho August primary election as his
party's candidate Tor a seat in the
national house of representatives, to
succeed Frank w. Mondeil. is a ma
tive of h state of Pennsylvania, al.
though his residence of -15 years In
Wyoming makes him n comparatively
old resident. This in view of the wide
range of public and private activities
in which he has been constantly en-
gagged since he became a citizen of
this. HIS adopted state.
He was born in Wyoming county.
but in h state of Pennsylvania, on
July o. 1881. and is, therefore, in the
very primo OF life and strength, and
at an age when having had q wide ex-
perience in civic affairs. municipal,
county. state and national, he is emil
nently fitted to enter upon a career
of profitable accomplishment for the
state OF Wyoming, whose interests in
the national capitol will be best served
by a representative neither too young
nor too old. but at the apex of his
aSA oho phyoicI power.
After having finished the course in
the common. or grade schools. in his
native state, young Reynolds entered
the Tunkhannock high school. from
which he graduated. He then took a
course in the state normal school ut
Mansfield. and, having decided to
make the law his profession. he be-
came a student in the law department
of the University of Pennsylvania,
from which he graduated in 1905. For
the next two years Reynolds practiced
law in Pennsylvania, but he o felt
the call Of the west, and, with his
parents and family. removed to wyo-
ming.
The family settled first in Cokeville,
where Reynolds resumed the practice
Of law. engaging also in farming and
stock raising on q. ranch near that
city. which is stiH owned by him and
other members of the family. It was
about this time hat he entered public
life and became more intensely inter.
