Children should have jolly times
celebrating the Fourth of July in a
safe and sane way. The day used
to be one of special JOY for them
since they were permitted TO make
all the noise they wanted to. Chatter
and explosions We're the order of the
day, and anxious parents rejoiced
when Fourth passed by and no
child of theirs was on the list of
casualties. Fortunately this sort of
celebrating has practically disap
peared in the District of Columbia.
But the day should lose none of its
glamour for the little folk if we can
help II.
One feature can be accented to good
effect, and that is the parade. If the
children have one of their own they
will be fascinated. The children of
neighborhood will bubble over with
excitement at the idea, which is not
taxing for adults TO carry out.
Head Parade With Drum.
Invite the children to come at some
definite hour TO your house and when
they have gathered on the lawn form
them in line, the little tots first, and
graduate them according to height.
Get some one among the children who
can beat a drum to head the process
sion. If you can get one or two
persons who play wind instruments
to help out in the music, so much
the better.
Regalia and Flags
The children should be requested TO
come in regalia. They can so easily
be made from crepe paper or some
patriotic touches be given ordinary
clothes by means of emblems, sashes
or scarfs, which can be of crepe paper
also. Tricorne hats can be folded
from gay paper, or even from news
papers. 1t is well for the person get,
ting up the parade to have some extra
insignia for children who forget TO

Yes, we owe corn to the native

GOLDIE THE ORIOLE.

Friend the Song Sparrow down by the
Smiling Pool. Had they known that
their tongues would have wagged even
faster than they did.
In the nest of Mr.. and Mrs. Chippy
were four of their own babies besides
Sally Sly's great big baby. The latter
was so much bigger than the others
that in spite of all Chippy and Mrs.
Chippy could do he managed to get
more than his fair share of the food.
He would snatch it out of their bills
as they were trying to give it to one
of the others. Having more food than
the others, he grew faster. and the
faster he grew the easier it was for
him to grab more than his share of
food. So Mr.. and Mrs. Chippy were
working themselves to skin and feath-
ers trying to supply enough food for
their big family. The same thing was
happening at the home of Mr. and
Mrs Sunshine the Yellow Warblers.
1T is shame" exclaimed Mrs
Goldie the Oriole. 1T is simply out
rageous. If l were Little Mrs. Chippy
I'd let that greedy Cowbird starve. I
wouldn't give it a mouthful of food"
I'm that case you would let your
own babies starve," declared bright
eyed Kitty the Catbird. Mr. and Mrs
Chippy can't help themselves, and
that's all there is to it. I've watched
them, and I've seen that greedy young
rascal snatch worms from their bills
in spite of all they could do. They
never should have hatched that egg

have left their nest and eggs and built

STATES ENJOY PROSPERITY
Arrival Last Summer, Although Remarkable, Did Not OVerWhelm

Chicago, Feb. 2o.-Prosperity's sudden arrival last summer, al- though remarkable, did not oyer whelm, and the northwest has not been left asleep at the switch,' Charles r. Collisson, agricultural editor of the Minneapolis Tribune, told members of the Inland Daily Press association here today.
 Even wheat raising communj- ties are alive and actlve," said MT. Collisson. "A query sent out by the Tribune revealed 45 different pro- iects now in active operation local ly throughout the five northwest states to put agriculture on a bet ter basis"
 Mir. Collsson's address was on diversified agriculture and its ef- feet on prosperity of communities that have developed dairying and balanced farming. He told of the revival of prosperity in the north western states this year. as a re- suit of the new grain crops of 1924 Tn 1923 the total value of ten leading crops in the ninth federal reserve district was about $53O,- 900, 900. In 1924 the same crops were worth s1,11o, 100000 and the prices are still soaring" he de- clared.
 "All through central and south ern Minnesota where the creameries and cheese factories. are numerous, and farmers are milking and feed ing pigs and chickens on the by products of dairying, it is absurd to say that farmers are hard up. They reap harvest in the milk pail two 1 or three times a day and pay their debts like good business men,"
 Mr. Collisson said talk about price fixing comes largely from communities that do not know much about the dairy cow Wherever we find a community where the COW paths are numerous" he said, there we find the real prosperity, even during the past five years"

 TO ZODIAC SIGNS
Scientist Claims Ability to Find
 Origin of 20 Tongues

Los Angeles, Feb. 2O.--A new ship was launched here recently on the seas of archaeology when Ed ward c. Getsinger, astronomer and searcher of antiquities, in q paper presented by him befor the Argon- aut Club, philosophical body meet ing in the University of Southern California, outlined the principles of "zodialphaby" whereby, he asserted, he was able to trace the origin of 20 written languages to the signs of the zodiac.
 His findings, MT. Getsinger diclar- cd, proved that astronomy was a religious science familiar to the more intelligent classes of the an- cient world upwards of 1900 years ago; that the Bible, by means of Zodialphaby, now may be made to reveal many secrets. religious and historical, which hitherto have been locked books; that Israel has a history gonig back 6,500 years into a period when it's high priests, as revealers of the mysteries of the heavens, were more advanced in some branches of astronomy than the star-gazers of today and that there have been fundamental errors in the rendering by Psychologists of some of the earliest inscriptions found in Egypt.

 Our workers in the juvenile and boys courts have noticed an increase in juvenile crime," MT, Craine as- serted. The Big Brothers, an as sociation of business and profession- al men here who reclaim boy de- linquents, decided to do something to offset the influences. We collected a sum of money with which to hire the proper stage producers, actors and writers who could produce The Passion Play In as reverential a manner as possible.
