A Sane Fourth II.


In less than month we shalfs re Celebrating the
Fourth Of July and it will be scsquicentennial Of
the first Fourth Of July to be marked by a special
event in the history Of America, the signing Of the
Declaration of Independence.
For many years it has been the custom to cele-
brate this splendid anniversary with the explosion
Of fireworks Children of all ages from six to sixty
have taken avid delight in the crash of blank cart
ridges giant firecrackers, pinwhccs and host of
other noise makers, all Of dangerous character.
Then, few short years ago, a movement began
to end this form of celebration because Of the ycar.
toll of life and injury caused by the fireworks.
Gradually public sentiment began to appear in be-
half Of this movement, then various cities and states
enacted certain laws which designed to limit
the size and character of fireworks so as to lessen
the danger to those celebrating with them
In spite Of this movement, however, the figures
representing deaths and injuries from the Fourth
of July celebrations still much too high and it
would seem we'll, at this time, for every municipal
ty to see that suitable regulations have been pub
lished and declared that will insure sane cclcbra-
ton Of the glorious Fourth. Let it be joyful event.
unmarried by tragedy. Let each town, each city and
each state take real constructive step this year
toward this end

Back TO the Farm

Several agencies throughout the country de-
voting great deal of time and constructive effort
to the nstilling love Of the soil in young and
women in the hope that they can stem the drift Of
the tide away from the farms. Schools have been
established where the latest scientific methods Of
farming taught and in many ether ways en-
enlargement is given for young people to take up
farming career
All this, however, will accomplish very little, in
this enlightened age unless farming can be made
more profitable and not speculative. The young
people arc perfectly willing to take instruction, but
they ask very pertinent questions as to the prob
able financial return for such farm and the
instructors, if they honest, are forced to
knowledge that the reward is precarious, and, many
tines completely -existant.
So the remedy for the drift away from the farm
Is in making the farm profitable In the old days
The city held allure for the farm boy and girl
than now. for radio, the automobile, moving pic
lures and other agencies have served to make the
farm youngstcr more content with his lot. Now, il
some farm relief plan can only be gotten under
way so that they may feel that in staying the
farms they will be advancing financially, then we
shall maintain farms at their highest peak of
efficiency.

ADVENTURES
aMe.TWNS
QUEER HAPPENINGS ON THE
MOON

| 1t was all very queer about the
| Twins. They weren't Twins at al
any more, but just great flat splashes
on the ground like paint.
You could see their heads and faces
| and hands and feet and clothes, but
they looked exactly like pictures
someone had painted on the ground
| 1t must have been because they fell
such a distance from the giant boys
hand. that they smashed so flat.
But it hadn't hurt bit! 1t felt jus,
as though they had fallen OH elder.
down pillows.
Were in a nice fix now" said
Nick, trying to look at Nancy.
Il should say So said Nancy. "1f
someone could scrape US up. maybe
! VIC could roll down a hill and get all
right again"
At that minute man rushed out
from a restaurant across the stree.
where he had been baking wheat
cakes in "A window His cake turner
looked as big as snow shovel.
Don't move and I'll fix YOU" he
shouted. "Just minute"
With that he deftly slid his cake
turned under Nancy and scraped her
up. Then he slid the cake turner un-
der Nick and scraped him up.
Nov il you'll just roll down this
hill" he remarked, Il think you'll
be AS fit as fiddles again. I'll turn
you both up like hoops and give you
"A start"
Which he did
Nancy rolled and Nick rolled and
the farther they rolled the more
round they became. At last they
reached the bottom Of the hill and
both Of them hit fire plug or what
ever it is they have on the moon in
ease Of fire.
That sent them spinning around
on their feet, and in three minutes
the Twins were back to their own
forms and their own size exactly AS
though nothing had happened.
Both Of them began TO laugh.
"This is queer place all rightce,'
said Nick. 1.-THE funny part Of it is
that no matter what happens to you,
nothing hurts"
"Oh, Io0k!" said Nancy suddenly,
pointing to a woman across the
street.
what ~ said Nick
But he could see for himself what
Nancy mean<. For while he looked.
the woman changed into two women
and then into three women and then
into four. five, six, seven women all
exactly like the first one. All With
umbrellas in their right hands and
baskets in their left hands.
ut must be the seven wives going
to st. Ives said Nancy. "Oh, look,
look! Now there are only five no
three! Why, they've all gone but
one!"
But in anothAr minute there were
seven again. And SO it went--the
woman turning into seven women
and then back into one, ike rain-
drops melting together.
Everybody is doing the same
thing" said Nick pointing down the
street. And even the dogs and cats!
For goodness sake lust lon' Nancy"
Sure enough, men and women and
boys and girls and cats and dogs
were all turning into threes and
tours AM 4fvens and then back into

Credit

The world of business is run on credit Firms
and individuals buy from each other-on time
MOnths after they have received goods they nav the
bill. A finn goes to the bank and discounts it's
note TO meet unexpected expenditures or to tide over
for expected income. 1t is said to be good business
But when an ordinary person essays to do the
same thing hundred people will shout from every
street corner that he is all wrong and is surely
doomed Tor the bankruptcy court. Which leads us
TO the divertng little question as to- just what use
an ordinary person should make of credit.
4 The argument will be advanced that no ordinary
person should get credit, that he should save IN
enough Tor what he wants, then buy the article in
question, that he should not mortgage the future
Tor what ne has now and that he should not buy on
the INSTRUMENT plan. In other words, it is con-
tended that business and personal finances should be
on different plane.
Which u entirely wrong. The same financial
rules hold Tor both What is good business in
one case IS good business in another. InstalIment

Summer CAMPS

About this time of year every parent with child
over ten years old is bordering the summer camr
question and asking himself or herself if they wish
to trust their precious youngster to the tender
cles of camp instructors and camp discipline. They
have mental visions Of their boy or girl being forced
into contact with trough" playmatcs held down to
a strict discipline allowed to run into danger in
swimming and other sports and in other words
badly used.
Everything considered, however, it is hard to inn
agine finer thing for boy or girl than sum-
mer camp Plenty of good, wholesome food, regu-
lar and plentiful sleeping hours training Of mind
bodily exercise, plentiful sunshine enough discipline
to keep them from running Wild" beneficial con-
tact with other youngsters of their age-thesc arc
the features that should recommend summer camps
to every parent
If the boy girl stays around home he or she will
not get sufficient exercise Of the proper type will
probably cat irregularly, get too little Sleep be so
pampered that all idea Of normal discipline is lost
IN other words, he she will be thoroughly spoiled
simply fer the selfshness of the parents in wanting
the children to stay at home with them.
1t IS easy to see by this analysis that there can
be little question Of the beneficial results from
summer camp and the increasing popularity of these
institutions is eloquent testimonial to the good re-
suits they must accomplish

SPEAKS THROUGH PRESS.

The President had prepared a state
ment TO be used. In it he mentioned
certain nations by name and by I'M
pllcation. and rather severely crit
cized them. Several of us suggested
notifications, and finally it was in
shape satisfactory to the President
and to. the members Of the cabinet.
After we had suggested the changes
toning the statement down. the Presi-
dent remarked that we were clearly
an anti-acid society.
The President gave his Chinese loan
statement to the press, instead o.
sending it through the State Depart.
ment to foreign governments.
At the meeting on Tuesday. Marc1
%, he referred to the matter and said
that il was a mistake TO have given il
to the press before its receipt by for.
eign governments. but the oversight
was not serious. The japanese ana
bassador had called upon him an
asked to know his full mind" ON the
matter.
This loan policy was ono phase Of
knox's diplomacy. 1t is question
whether il would have resulted il any
good for China.
The President remarked that social
matters seemed to constitute the CHEZ
serious business for the greater part
of Washington and indicated that h.
would have to limit his indulgence in
them. He said: While / am not i'll,
