THE FUTURE OF JULY FOURTH
The carnival of noise, destruction
and mischief that long held sway on
July Fourth in many plices, is to a
extent heing displaced by the com
mon sense of the country. But
there is still in many cities and
towns, n lack of any good plan for
making this holiday count as it
chouid in the life of the nation.
The national Memorial day is
somewhat different, because in that
case up to recent years the civil war
veterang have provided an organi
wation that would take the responsi
hility for having it suitably noticed
Now the American legion has be
come an association of World wa
veterans that will see to it that the
coldiers of all wars are euitably
commemorated on May 30.
There does not seem however, to
be any nation wide organization
that will similarly uadertake
the responsibility of having the
nation’s birthday suitably observed,
In many cities such eolebrations
depend upon transient impulse.
Some years there will be a group
of people who will put thiongh a
good celebration, aud at other times,
there isalack of interest and encrgy.
Yot there ought to be an inter
esting and dignificd observance of
July Fourth cach year. If there
are good programs of gports and
amusements, the temptation for the
kid erowd to get out and burn
fences and keep the old ladies awake
is not so powerful.
The old fashioned Fourth of July
address should be revived, People
should be gathered for sports, band
concerts, pienics, ete. When the
crowd is full of good humor, they
should be gathered together, and
come able speaker should give them
a good pithy address, telling them
what America means, what it cost
in labor and sacrifice to establish
this govermment, and what =hould
be done to keep it up, The city
government of every community,
in lack of movements from othe
sources, should always see that
adequate steps are taken for such
observances
L e
LATE HOURS
Two parenta who reeently visited
the universities where their hoys
are studying, were comparing notes
the other day. It appeared that
both these bys have acquired the
habit, both at college and while al
home on vacation, of staying up
very late at night. They will sit
up and read until midnight or later,
and then lie abed until nine or ten
in the morning.
1f reproached with this eccentric
habit, these boys claim that the
majority of the students in their
institutions are doing about the
same thing.
The old timers had a penetrating
philosophy, and they knew by i
gtinet and experience that early
rising is a good thing. “‘Early to
bed and early to rise,”’ they said,
“makes a man healiby, wealthy
and wise.”” “'lf you would thrive
you must rise at five, if you have
thriven, you may rise at sivin,”’
ete.
Man was made to do his work in
the sunlight. The Lright rays of
Old Sol have a health and life giv
ing quality. Discases are cured
just by sunshine It is the greal
eneiny oftgerg, BSoe il worl
at night, but few people dn exeipl

Furthermore, there is no light

cossive tee of the eyes andwe artifi
‘cinl light, particularly where guch
lightening is in some way inadequ
ate, hag heen the eause why many
peoples eyesight has goue bad.
Many people seem to thivk they
can read, think and study better
late at night than at- other - times.
There is faceination in lLeing up
while others sloop,. They seem to
think it ercates distinetion and in
teresting oviginality, DBut that is o
false votion. The hnan race has
reachied its present allotment of
timie as the result of long exper.-
ence. The tendeney to swap these
daylight hours for night hife is un
wholesome and cecentrie,

Something to
Think About
By F. 4. WALKER
RESPONSIBILITY
N()’J‘ until you have arrived at the
plnce of life where you can show
willingness and ability to shoulder re
sponsibility will you be in a position to
keep step with the noble men and
women who are moving steadily for
ward toward success,
You can never hope to get at the top
by remaining at the bottom of the lad
der in sulks. Nor can you rise from
the low level where the complaining
masses are without first making sacrl
fleces and fitting yourself for the ascent,
There must be within you superlor
skill, which you know, as well as those
above and below you know, cannot be
acquired except by tireless diligence
and continuous effort in the right di
rection,
To dare responsibility without being
properly equipped, both mentally and
physically, is to make a hazardeus ven
ture with all the fates arrayed against
you.
To lead others you must be qualified
to find your own way when the dark
comes and the storms rage.
You are not fit to assume respon
sibllity of any sort untll you have mas
tered your own stubborn spirit, learned
your lesson in patlence, and practiced
the principles set forth In the Golden
Rule.
Your first test in leadership will
prove the truth of these words, iln
spite of an egotism you may have, or
of any fancled power of excellence.
Those who eannot accept orders frrom
thelr superiors with becoming grace,
who at every turn In their pathway
pig-headedly dispute the right of au
thority, who openly show disrespect of
law and order, the things which gov
ern everything from atom to sphere,
can never hope successfully to assume
responsibility or rise from the common
level,
If you will look Into the causes of
faflure and discouragement, you will
find that ignorance, false pride, ob
stinacy and selfishness were the fatal
stumbling blocks.
These are the things which ambitious
men and women must do their utmost
to avoid, otherwise their progress will
be retarded and they will be forever
barred from a seat among the world's
leaders, who assume responsinilities
seriously, consclous of their own frail
ties, but confident of their ability to
hold steadfastly to the true course in
all kinds of weather,

BLAMING YOURSELF .
I'l‘ ISB always easy to find somehudy‘
to blame for your mlistakes. You
are probably misunderstood. Every-‘
Lhody is. You are probably a square |
peg in a round hole. So is every‘
other unsuccessful person. Doubll(-ss‘
the world is blind to your talent, It
was blind to Shakespeare's talent for
many years. But Shakespeare dled a
rich and successful man,
The temptation to “pass the buck”
is often almost Irresistible. But yield
to it till it becomes a habit and you
might as well quit now. You will
never get anywhere,
VWhile most bicycle repairers in one.
Inrge city were blaming the collapse
of the bicyele boom for their hard luck, |
Wilbur and Oiville Wright were at |
work on a vehicle that would as fnri
surpass the bicycle as the eagle sur- |
pussey the tortoise. |
They didn't blame anybody huti
themselves, and they blamed them
gelves severely when they made costly
mistakes. ‘
By and by they found a way to
escape their own blame, Then they |
beran to succeed. ‘
in every oflice there are clerks that
blame the boss for their lack of oppor- 1
tunity. They find an excuse for alt
their hbad work, for the results of thelr {
idleness. And they are so busy find-i
ing excuses that they never have time
to find the opportunitles that are]
around them. l
I you don’'t want other people to‘
critleize you, be your own critie.
Don't he an easy one either. Make
your own standard higher than your
boss’. Give him a little more than he
expects, or a great deal more than he
expects and you will attract his atten
tion. If you don’t attract his atten
tion except unfavorably, he'll begin
to lhiunt for somebody who will,
There are of course people who are
abused as much as they think they
are, but you can write on a postage
stamp the names of all such persons
you know. You and nobody else are
to blame for your fallures or respon
sible for your success. Be unsparing
of the blame. Check up every day’s
work and see if it would satisfy you
if vou were the boss. If it wouldn't,
do better work the next day. |
Nobody will Le Interested in your
excuses or your “alibis.” Everybod¥y
wiil be ilnterested in what you really
accomplish. You can get somewhere
in the world If you try. But yuu’lli
have to try extrkmely hard, for there;
will be abundant competition, |

WOMEN ACTIVE IN
Patent Office Shows Long List of
Their Achievements.
People who imagine that women
show little actlvity in the field of in
vention would have the surprise of
thelr lives if they could go over the
records of the United States patent
office, said a recent bulletin of the
women’s bureau of the Department of
Labor. The fecords of the patent of
fice show that women have invented
everything from a rotary plowshare to
an egg beater, the women's bureau
sald.
“Of course, most of the things woms
en have Invented have been articles
for use in the household,” the bulle
tin added, “a holder for hot utensils,
a kettle polisher and scraper, a kitch
en cabinet, a washing machine, a car
pet beater, a mattress’ turner, a mouse
trap, and so on through a list of near
ly 1,400 different items. Next to house
hold equipment the largest number of
inventions was of articles for personal
wear or use, such things as hooks and
eyes, shoe strings, shoes and tooth
brushes, but not all of the inventions
were as utilitarian as that. One wom
an even invented an artificial eyelash,
Not Confined to Home.
“Women's inventive activities carry
them much further afield, however,
thun the household. Women on farms
have patented a lot of contrivances to
make work easier or more efficient,
and they haven't confined thelr imagi
nations to poultry raising and dairy
ing, but have Invented -cultivators,
seed planters, tractors and windmills,
as well as incubators and churns.
“The same thing is true of all the
other phases of Industry and the pro
fessions. We have found women tak-
Ing out patents for office supplies and
equipment, for improvements to steam
and street railway equipment, for
methods of road building, for ma
chinery of all sorts, as well as for
many kinds of tools, musical instru
ments, toys and educational devices.
“It is interesting to know how wom
en came to invent all these different
things. Sometimes just the name of
‘the invention will tell us what caused
it. For instance, anyone who has ever
milked a cow can easily imagine what
caused one woman to invent a cow
tail holder. Another woman invented
a cover for pie pans because she said
juicy pies were always overflowing in
her oven, which wasted the best of
her pie and left her with a dirty oven
to clean., Many of us can sympathize
with the woman who invented a re
enforced wooden bowl after the bowl
in which she was working butter split
in two, spilling the butter into her lap.
A woman whe had spent many hot
July days in a hospital invented a spe
cial ventilator which would make the
room less stuffy,
All “New and Useful.”
“Of course, we cannot say how prac
tical all these inventions were. The
patent office thought they were ‘new
and useful,” and so granted patents,
and some of the articles we know have
been successfully marketed and are in
general use. But the thing which has
astonished us most in going over these
records is to find the great varlety of
the articles patented by women., This
variety shows more graphically than
perhaps any other fingle thing could
how women's activities are spreading
out to cover every field of occupation
and endeavor., These patented inven
tions are one more witness to the fact
that women's interests cannot be rele
gated to two or three narrow fields,
their interests have broadened to In
clude more than the ‘children, church
and kitchen,” which the kaiser thought
were sufficient for any woman.”
SEEK MARK SUBSTITUTE
Germans Experiment With Bonds
Based on Commodities.
In an effort to find a stable basls
for investment, public and private Ger
man Institutions have floated Issues
based upon some commodity rather
than en the paper mark, says Consul
O. N. Nielson of Berlin, in a report
to the Department of Commerce. Rye,
wheat, coal and coke have thus been
used.
Although a bond based upon a com
modity is not absolute protection for
the Investor, purchase of such bonds
is a guaranty that depreciation will be
limited by fluctuations in the price of
the commodities. Further, a relative
rise in the price of the commodity be
tween the time of investment and ma
turity of the bond gives the investor
an opportunity to profit,
HENS LAY EGGS IN TREES
Wild Strain Asserts Itself In Kingston
Flock.
Some wild strain, lying dormant for
years in the hens owned by Mrs,
Amelie Henretty, who lives just out
side of Kingston, N. Y,, asserted itself
a few days ago and is credited with
causing the hens to abandon the
chicken house and go to the trees to
make their nests and lay their eggs.
Mrs. Henretty, who came to town
the other day to buy an extension lad
der, said she was getting too old to
climb trees for hen's eggs. She sald
she was unable to account for the
preference which the hens are show
ing for the trees, as the hen house 18
perfectly comfortabla.
