A committee of five has bheen
named by the Women’s Joint Con
gressional Committee to select the
twelve greatest women in America.
Qo far there is no indication as to
who the other seven will be.
REAPING AS WE SOW.
As a people we Americans are
too indifferent to matters of
national concern.
We are indifferent because we
do not enter actively into the dis
cussing and shaping of such affairs.
We have no time to devote tothe
national welfare because we are en
gaged almost exclusively in the
accumulation of money for our
necessities and pleasures.
This trait is not found only in
the republican party, or in the de
mocratic party, or among any cer
tain class of people. We ave all
tarred with the same brush, and the
tar is thick and black, and sticks.
If things dont go to suit us in
Washington we roar chestily for a
day or two, and then forget all
aboutit. We dont follow up the
roars with definite action.
Because of this weakness we suf
fer from appalling waste and ex
travagance in our national life. We
see officials vacillating in their weak
nest and indecizion when they
ghould be firm and aggressive in
their action,
And, above everything clee, we
see erime rampant throvghout the
country, and taxation seraping the
lining of the skies.
We reap as we sow, and the yield
is no more than we sow.
TO CELEBRATE THE FOURTH
OF JULY.
Next Tuesday 18 the Fourth of
July—the glorious Fourth—the
birthday of American Independence,
when all patriotic Americans feel in
their heart that huoyancy of spirit
that is prompted by the deeds of
valor of our fore-fathers who made
possible this great Republic that
has bowed to none and that stands
at all times for naught but right
and justice,
At this time when we are but
recovering from the World War
and clothed in an added honor of
victory for right, this spirit of fiery
patriotism is re-kindled, and to us
the stars of our flag and Union
shed a brighter ray of love and de
votion across the blue done of heav
en that is the only encircling
wall of our freedom and greatness
as a people, then it has ever shed
before.
Then, why not make memorable
this great day in celebration? i
All the business houses of Lecs
burg will close and all our citi
zens will repair to some place for
publie celebration, or whether each
individual in his or her own way
shall spend it as fancy dictates,
though we do know that the day
should be held sacred in all hearts
and that every citizen should feel
and elicit that spirit of patriotism
that is a true mark of our honor for
the auniversary of the birth of a
nation that is ours and of which we
are a parcel and part, and whose
bright stars shine in sweetest ac
cord with freedom and whose stripes !
are a binding fortress that is in-I
vineible to the world. l
Whether we go from our homes
or busines:, let each and every onei
of us engender within us that samwe
sweet and true spirit of Americal
that places us foremost of all in all
things good and true.
STRAIGHTEN UP AND SMILE.
No one has ever gained anything
by wearing & frown or nursing
grouch, neither isthe woild going to
sympathize with you for the world
has tronbles of its own.
We are facing a serious situation
in this country, possibly ene of more
gignificance than we have had to
fuce in a generation, but we have no
one to blame but omselves, becaus
we would not heed the warning that
has been held out tous and it 14 ours
to take the punishment without com
plaining.
“Faint heart never won fair lady”’
neither will complaining heip ow
sondition now so let’s go to work
and try to realize that it is no dis
grace to be poor, theugh it may be
humiliating to be in debt without
the means of satisfying our ereditors,
yet whining and eomplaining will
not help the situation, We will get
wer the rough places sometime, and
the road will be sipoother and we
e appreciate it better. We would
not be able 10 appreciate the good
things of life if all the way was
gmooth eailing, it is the hard knoeks
that teach us Low to withstand
them best.
It may be that the providence of
an all-wise Being that place: the
boulders inour pathways to keep ve
from rushing headlonginto ruin be
cause we are prone to the downward
way, and if there were nothing
hinder us we would keep goivg
downward. Let’s take the punizh
ment and bethankful for the lessons
learned and profit thereby, ahd quit
blaming crops and the government.
We Southern people are the mos!
extravagant of any people in th
world, and are spandthiifts in the
extreme, and in times of progperity
we never stop to think that there i
a darker day coming and tha¢ we
may need what we throw away when
the reverses come upon us as they
are sure to come. Within the last
few years the south has been more
prosperous than ever in its hi-tory,
and vet we are no moce prepaved for
the reverses in bLusiness than we
were years ago.
Instead of complaining let’s be
thankfal that we heve been halted
in our mad rush and va teful dissi
pations, before we were utterly casi
down.
f,et’s be thankful for the blessings
of peace, and that we are not ina
land of famine, nor pestilence of
any kind, and that ours is the nosl
healthful zountry in all the world.
AS THE EDITOR SEES IT.
Government chemist are now
working out a means of producing
a cheap fuel for motor ears from
corn cobs, and are said to be meet
ing with gratifying success,
It is doubtful, however, if it will
ever be placed on the market where
the users of motor cars can take
advantage of it at reduced cost.
The oil and gasoline interests are
too rich and powerful to ever allow
such disastrous competition with
their industry to exist.
Pertodically we hearsuch reports,
and motorist become enthused over
a possibility of cheaper fuel for en
gines. Then the project goes the
way of its predecessors—likely
through strangulation—and the pub
lic continnes to line the pockets of
the vil barons Aith greenbacks.

MILLICENT
THE affected young miss who chang.
es her name from Mildred to Millis
cent in the fond belief that the two
are Interchangeable, is really rechris
tening herself. The two names are ut
terly dissimilar.
Millicent, which is translated to
mean work, strength, comes from that
remarkable word ‘“‘amal,” meaning
work, which appears in some similar
form in all languages. We have our
word “moil” from it. Many feminine
names have been evolved from amal,
the first probably being Amalaswinth,
the unfortunate queen of Lombardy,
whom the Romans could not protect
from the treachery of her favorites
Historians call her Amalasontha,
but in Burgundy she became Mell
sendra, Melicerte, and Meclusine.
Spanish balladlore reveals a Mell
sendra as the wife of Don Gayferos,
who was taken captive by the Moors
and we hear of her through Don Quix
ote. Melusine was the nymph, wife
of Lord de Leezignan, who, according
to old legend, retired from publie view
every Saturday and turned Into &
serpent.
Princess Melisende carried the
crown of Jerusalem to the House of
Anjoy and through the Provencal con
nection of the English conrt, Lady
Melisent Stafford, who llved during
the reign of Henry 11, established the
pame in England. It soen came to be
spelt Melicent and finally Millicent,
prevailing as such today.
The simplest of all gems, the tur
quoise, is Millicent’s talismanic stone,
It Is said to protect its wearer from
all dangers, whether she walks or
rides—-or flies, the present day legend
must add. It is an augury of good
fortune if she sees the new moon re
fected in the stone. Saturday is her
lucky day and 1 her lucky number and
holly is her flower.

A Paradise.
Hawail is in many ways literally an
Inland paradise. Scarcely anywhere
else in the world may one roam
through tropical jungles with never
a thought of poisonous insects or
snakes. Such creatures do not exist
In these fair islands. KEven poison
fvy and similar plants are unknown.
And though in the edge of the trop
ics, Hawaili has a cooler temperature
by ten degrees than any other land
in the same latitude. Moreover, one
may change his climate at will by
a journey of a few miles; for the
northeastern half of each Island,
swept by the trade winds, is rainy
and heavily wooded, while just over
the mountain ridge is a drier, warmer
region,
Substitute Shelves.
“The decorative value of a fireplace
and chimney piece can be approxi
mated, in a room which lacks this
architectural touch, by a shelf sup
ported on brackets extending to the
floor in the curved line of a capital.
The place selected for this shelf should
be the one which would have bheen
chosen for a chimney, had one been put
in, and it should be of the length and
breadth appropriate to a mantel in
that space. Its color and finish must
match that of tlie woodwork in the
room and its ornaments carry out the
idea of a chimney piece. In front of
it a sofa may be drawn, its back
turned to the mock chimney, thus call
fng attention away from the absence
of grate and hearth, 5
Greenland Once Fertile?
Owing to the vast flelds of ice, ex
cept on small stMps of coast line, and
the arctic temperature, there is very
little vegetation in Greenland. The
country, however, exports whale and
seal 011, elderdown, fox and seal skins.
There is a cryolite mine at Iviytut,
and copper, lead, iron and zinc are
found. There are also large cod and
haddock fisheries on the west coast,
the whole trade being a monopoly of
the Danish government. The popula
tion on the coast is about 13,400 Eski
mos and some 300 Danes. There are
traditions that Greenland had once a
considerable population and a fertile
coast line, before the ice fringe formed
about it.
Getting Teak to Market.
In Burma from the time the teak
log enters the water upon one of the
tributaries of the Irrawaddy river, it
generally takes about two years for it
to reach the mill at tidewater. The
first rains which bring down the floods
pick up the logs in a jam and carry
them down to the mair river, which
usually just about disposes of the
available water of the season. The
foillowing season they go down the
main stream propedy boomed; but as
the streain is very rapid the logs re
quire no towing. On the back of the
boom, the native log runners or boom
tenders erect bamboo houses and take
up their residence,
