It has boon learned of late that the obadc or partial shade of roadside trees Is a great aid In keeping the pavement In prime condition. The authorities tell u that during the hot days of summer Improved roadbeds are injured by the direct rays of the sun and that the partial shade of trees planted by the roadside enables the rement or other pavements to stand much longer trees will unimpaired.

HAT shall we Fourth of July? The continental congress. In session In PhllurielphlH, passed July 2, 1776, the resolution presented In behnlf of Virginia by IUchard Henry Lee that begins: Resolved, That these United Colonies are nud of right ought to be free and Independent states; that they are absolved from all allIeglnT.ee to that all political connection and the British crown, between them and the state of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved. This of course Is the real Declaration of Independence, the document now known as the Declaration being adopted two days later. Of the adoption of the Lee resolution John Adrtns wrote to his wife the historic letter which says, among other things: The second day of July, 1776, will he the most remarkable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that It will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to Ood Almighty. It ought to be solir.enlzed with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, bells, bonfires and Illumination from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore. -Time has proved that John Adams, though he got his dates mixed, tfas a true prophet. Probably the Fourth of July Is our distinctively American All the civilized world celebrates celebration. New Year's, Easter, Memorial day. Thanksgiving and Christmas In one way or another. But Independence day Is ours alone. To oe sure, we have Washingtons birthday and Lincolns birthday, which are also ours alone but the Fourth" Includes most If not all of what they stand for. In short the Fourth of July comes mighty near being our national day when the Amerlcnn Eagle screams for everything from the Mayflower to the Argonne from 1620 to November 11, 1918. Armistice day I That Introduces the pprtlnent paint that another change must be made In the long evolution of the celebration of the. Fourth of July. For If the Fourth of July stands for one specific thing that one specific thing Is Just ex eetly what Its rigln&l oaraeIndependanoa day signifies. And after Armistice day and all that It stands for Its Julte evident that the American eagle roust be taught to coo Instead of scream when It goes to the John Bull part of Its performance. e For we hare seen onr enemy our too against and for bis lives life for fighting a foe that would have destroyed all that we peaking peoples In common hold dear. And a after long while we crowded In alongside our ancient enemy and got busy to make op for lost time.. Never mind who won the war. We have gumption enough to know exactly what John Bull did for Und Bam and are grateful accordingly. And It's quit likely that Unde Sam came near enough to savttjr John Bulls life to feel something friendly Interest In him. So some mpre than of July celebration will hav Fourth our of parts to be tODed down from now on. Moreover, It's high time' thaf the 'American people put their mind to fixing op the day we celebrate.'. For the Fourth of July celebration right now Is betwixt and between.

The enthusiasm of onr people for their country and flag can usually he measured by the bent of the national pulse. A typical celebration of the day Is that of 18.10 In Buffalo. N. Y., which l described at some length In the Buffalo Journal. That newspaper sava: "The return of our national Jubilee was celebrated In this village with more than ordinary splendour and the day was duly honoured, not In the breach but the observance.'" The procession formed at the Eagle a famous tavern located on Main street between Court and Eagle streets and consisted of veterans of the Revolution citizens and strangers, escorted by the Washington and Frontier guard and the cadets of the Western Literary and Scientific academy, the whole enlivened by tmislck from the Buffalo band. The oration was pronounced by Sheldon Smith, Esq., at the Baptist church and religions services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Shelton of St. Pauls. From the church the procession marched to the Buffalo House In Seneca street and there an "excellent dinner was partaken OL" Dr. Powell was landlord of the house at that time and the papers recorded as something worthy of special mention that there were no liquors on the table. But the good lesson this statement was Intended to convey loses Its moral In the very next line of the narrative: "After the cloth was removed wine was served with the toasts, which were drank with the utmost regularity." It Is hardly necessary to draw on the imagination to nny extent-t- o plcture the final state of many In that noble company of 100 who drank the wine with the ntmoat regularity." s of temperance sociBut tbat was eties and adulterated liquor. The marshal of the day was Colonel, afterward General, Sylvester Mathews, a veteran of the war of 1812 a hero of the Battle of Chippewa. Apart from these proceedings waa discourse by Rev Mr. Eaton of the Presbyterian church on civil and religious liberty. The festivities closed according to time honored enstom with a ball In tb evening. No mention Is made of any fireworks. The celebrations of several succeeding years tseem to have been much like this one, according to the Journal's file. In 1843, however pre-sum ably because of the Mexican war the celebration waa regarded by the Journal- - as noteworthy. The Sixty-fift- h regiment made It first appearance on this occasion. At 8 oclock In the morning a detachment marched to the Fillmore House and fired some small arms la honor of the vice pres!- dent. The line of march Included Revolutionary aotd I era.

The Son of Temperance, had charge of the celebration In 1850, which was held "at the grove near the workhouse." John R. Gough, the leading "temperance" speaker of the day, was orator.
