day, with the hope that through
its inspiration all may again be
impressed with the glorious herit-
age which is ours, and may pledge
ourselves anew to do all in our
power to keep it that country
which our forefathers fought to
free.

Important Occasion
Emphasizing the Importance Of
Independence Day, Commander
Tunnicliffe said: THE -Four h of
July has been universally celebrat-
ed as a holiday in the United States
TO commemorate the greatest event
In the history Of our nation. On
that day, in 1875, the Continental
Congress adopted and proclaimed
TO the world the Declaration of
independence, the keystone of
which is the statement that all
men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights: and
among them are life. liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness"
Down through les years since
that glorious document was writ
ten, men and women of America
have fought and today are fighting
on the battlefronts, in our legisla-
tive halls, in the halls of Justice,
on the production front to main
tain and strengthen these truths
which they believe to be self evil
dent.
There have been times when It
was apparent that Americans were
unmindful OF the heritage that was
theirs. Of the freedom and oppor-
tunities they enjoyed at what cost
in the blood and tears Of their
forebears.
And so, some time back, the
American Legion Of Ypsilanti, com
posed Of men who too few years
ago took up arms in defense Of
these principles. and representa-
tive OF those who died in defense
Of them. attempted through an
old Fashioned Fourth Of July
Celebration to rekindle the fire
of July Fourth. 1916. To bring
through a patriotic demonstration
renewed dedication 70 the princi-
pies OF Justice. Freedom. and De-
mocracy'. How we'll we succeeded
the citizens Of Ypsilanti may judge.

American Legion Provides
Threefold Holiday Program

We frankly admit certain errors in
judgment They were corrected
as they were perceived.
Young Soldiers Aided
There is of necessity a finan.
cial aspect to any such large scale
operation, and in touching on that
the Legion can only point with
pride to their work in helping the
young soldiers in this vicinity prior
to the advent of the USO. To aid
them and to provide direction for
other Ypsilanti organizations and
individuals the American Legion
gladly and enthusiastically appro
priated all incidental profits OF

another observance which, although
on somewhat lesser scale than in

children OF Ypsilanti to gather at

they may recognize the importance

Stock Prices Uneven
After Early Gains
Led by Rails
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Rails got
another go-ahead signal in today's
early stock market proceedings, but
profit-taking red lights soon halted
the excursion.
Most carriers and selected issues
elsewhere added fractions at a fast
start. These later were reduced or
converted into minus marks and
near-cloing trends were definitely
foggy. Dealings slowed as prices
wavered Transfers for the full
stretch were around TOO 900 shares.
Customers cashed In here and
there on the idea a technical reac-
ton might be due. The war loan
drive, thoughts Of possibly impend-
ing important foreign developments
and talk of a tax battle in Congress
tended to restrain some potential
purchasers. Another string OF opti-
mistic earnings and dividends again
served as a bolstering influence.
On the upside at intervals were
Chesapeake g. Ohio, Baltimore g.
Ohio, Pullman, American Can, In
ternational Nickel, Homestake Min
ing, United Aircraft, Dupont and
Consolidated Edison. In the losing
column most of the session were
Santa Fe, New York Central, Great
Northern, Bethlehem, Chrysler, u.
S. Rubber, Texas Co., Anaconda,
Allied Chemical, Dow Chemical,
