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.

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, (® by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) b i Dl +5) - A oo I \TA 3 Sraedh A 4 .'5.9'/ __q(« i 2l (TN @=) - | -0 It | - . e ' g ‘Q"{ ¥ A to Re-tire? 3 e ik R ) « \!\ i‘ \ N ; LR Pav.om < S 0 A & 3 N a‘ 4 w 0 | 1 D N | \‘\";m SVRE DS, ‘ ..

' 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.
