The Artistic Goat

ICEORGIA'S delightful climate
~ gave continuous employment
to the goats owned by that eminent
Albanian. Pat Gambler Dinlins.
The goats were Sandy and Man
dy. Mandy was tied in the barn
most of the time. Pat noticed that
she amused herself by plating
straw into all shapes and sizes.
Sandy went out at night to at
tack trespassers. There was the
pecan grove in the fall and luscious
Georgia watermelons to be guarded
every summer. And not a night
passed but Sandy returned with
scraps of clothing his horns had
speared from the hind quarters of
some daring plckaninny.
Pat says Sandy was invaluable
as watchman and that the mate
rials he brought in invariably were
scraped from Sandy's horns into the
goat stall. Size and color Of sam

white folks of the neighborhood had
worn the year before.
Il was proud of Sandy" Pat con-
fesses, "but l didn't appreciate
Mandy until l sneaked into the stall
with a flashlight one night and
learned how she used her spare time.
There she was, calm and con-
tented as can be, weaving beauti
full rag rug from the materials that
Sandy'd brought in.
Whenever we need carpets up at
the house now / simply drop a sup
ply of rags into Mandy's stall when
it's real dark and make a scraping
noise like Sandy's horns. That goat
can weave four by rugs in one
week and take a day off besides"

Ring Round Rosy

IN MILAN, TENN, where a spe-
l. cialty is claimed for watermel-
ons, fine baseball clubs and tomato
crops, they brag about their fat girl
This lady, according to Bruce Oh
iver, was the most enormous gal in.
habiting West Tennessee.
Nobody knew her name, said
Bruce, because no one ever got that
close to her. Just in fun he called
her Rosy.
She came over to Milan from the
nearby town of Mckenzie and al
most Immediately was besieged
with suitors. The most persistent
of these was Bruce himself.
He used to visit the damsel, sit
out on the porch with her and feed
her ice cream from a double freez-
er. When the bottom of the freez-
er was reached, Bruce, sorely smit-
ten by the fat girls charms, was
inclined to grow serious in his love
even when she confessed she slept
in a bed strewn with cinders to
prevent her rolling off.
Bruce was a persistent cuss, he
admitted. In attempting to express
his true feelings he would place an
arm part way around the fat girl.
When he had reached as far as pos
sible he would mark his position
with pink crayon. Then he would
move around to the mark, resume
posture Of affection. and so grad,
ually encircle the waist of the girl
he worshiped.
The romance progressed swim
mingly, according to Milan records.
until the day Bruce shifted posi-
ton, crayon in fingers, and bumped
into an utter stranger who was
chalking his own way around the
waist from the opposite direction

in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, that
a flag of this design of stars and
stripes was first hoisted at Fort
Stanwix, called Fort Schuyler at
the time, near the present city of
Rome, n. Y, on August 3, 1777. 1t
was first under fire three days later
in the battle of Oriskany.
By act of congress January 13,
1894. the design of the flag was
changed so as to incorporate fifteen
stripes and fifteen stars, after the
admission of Vermont and Ken

later in the year. OF the fifty-six
signers, seven were not members of
the Congress ON July 4 when the
Declaration was agreed to, and of
those who were present on that his

document.
The Declaration was first pro-

THE Declaration was not adopted
L. by the Continental Congress I'M
til almost fifteen months after the
War for Independence started with
the engagements at Concord and
Lexington. They occurred on April
10, 1875. In fact, seven important
battles of that war had been fought
before the resolution of independ-
ence introduced by Mr.. Lee was
agreed to. They were, besides Con-
cord and Lexington, Ticonderoga, on
May 10; Bunker Hill, on June II;
Montreal, on November 13; Quebec,
on December 81, all in 1875, and
Fort Moultrie, on June %, 1776.
George Washington had been COM
mander-in-chief-though he was
termed a general-Of the Continen-

the time of the Declaration Wash
ington was in the field and had been
for more than year. On the day
it was formally adopted he was in
New York, preparing for what was
to be the Battle of Long Island.
Despite the deliberate action of
the Congress, however, there had
been demands for a declaration of
independence months before that
July udy III IIIO. IHeIe was InV
Macklenberg Declaration, passed on
May 20, 1775. And on April %, 1776,

the whole; the president resumed
the chair. Mr.. Harrison reported,
that the committee have had under
consideration the declaration to
them referred; but, not having had
time to go through, desired leave to
sit again.
Resolved, That this Congress
will, tomorrow, again resolve itself
into a committee of the whole, to
take into their further consideration
the declaration of independence"
THIS resolution, agreed to many
years ago, had been presented to
the Congress for action on the sew
enth day of the June preceding, al
most a month before. 1t was drawn
up and presented by Richard Henry
Lee, pursuant to a resolution of the
ed on May 10, the same year. It
was seconded, when presented to
the Congress, by John Adams, ON
behalf of the Massachusetts delega-
tiOn. Consideration, however, was
deferred until the following day,
when it was referred to the commit
tee of the whole. Postponed again
on the eighth, which was a Satur-
day, on the tenth of June a commit
fee was appointed ito prepare a
declaration TO the effect of the said
first resolution" That committee
was composed of Thomas Jefferson,
chairman; John Adams, Benjamin
FRANKLIN, Robert r. Livingston and
Roger Sherman.
This committee brought in it's re-
port on June %, with the first draft
OF the Declaration. 1t was read and
ordered to lie on the table. That
was a Friday. The Congress ad-
jOurned that day until the following
Monday, July l.

 The resignation was dated May 20. On the same day, judicial tribunal ended it's investigation of the most-publicized scandal in Bri- tains politics since the World War. The scandal resulted from leak age of budget information, on which friends of Thomas profited by taking out insurance with Lloyds.
 The recent budget increased the income tax, the friends of Thomas "hedged" against an increase. The leakage, in testimony, was linked indirectly to Thomas; but the final report of the tribunal was awaited to determine if the friends profited by a shrewd caculation or by tips" emanating from the budget-makers.

GRAN CHACO AFTERMATH

For many months Paraguay and Bolivia fought for possession of the Gran Chaco. Toward the end, be- fore other Pan- American nations brought about an armistice, the sol diers of both nations tired of the conflict; there was a widespread feeling of bitterness against the policies and leaders of their gov- ernments.
 This first manifested itself, last February, in Paraguay. Chaco war veterans rebelled; they busted the Government of President Eusebio Ayala and created a revolutionary dictatorship to effect workers Democracy"
 This week, in Bolivia, officer-vet- erans of the Chaco united with leaders of the Socialist party. In a bloodless coup d'etat, they forced the resignation of President Jose Tejada Sorzano. A revolutionary junta, composed of soldiers and so- cialists, assumed power to organize "A new Fatherland upon bases of social justice, equity and equality more in accord with the times in which we are living"
 Within two days, however, the Socialists were themselves busted and the military men were in com plete control. The revolution quick ly assumed Fascist aspect, with the elevation of Colonel David Toro, a Chaco hero, to the Presi- dency.
