Scythe Remains Where Placed He that has never known adversity in Tree by Civil War Soldier is but with himself Adversity Teaches A hundred years before, in 1676, Nathaniel Bacon (above) signed a famous Declaration of the People of Virginia wherein the kings governor was vigorously arraigned. Bacon led a rebellion against royal misrule (he is shown above at the burning of Jamestown) but it collapsed when he died suddenly. Millions Yearly View Declaration 'ORB than a million patriotic pilgrims a year pause before a marble shrine on the second floor of the Library of Congress to gaze with reverent eyes at a fading document sheltered in a coating of gelatin to prevent its further Injury which Is a certain Declaration of Independence signed in the city of Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. Most of the signatures, writes Elizabeth Ellicott Poe in the Washington Post, are indistinguishable at the present time but on the front of the top row of names is a name written in large John Hancock, it reads, and the historically minded remember that when that sturdy Massachusetts patriot bent over to put script TOMC01 his signature to this fateful paper he remarked: Ill write it large so King George can read it without his spec- tacles. John Hancock, one of the richest men of Boston town, had much to lose by his stand. It was no Idle gesture to him, this adoption of the cause of the colonies. His properties were to he forfeited to the crown for what would be considered an act of treason but John Hancock did not hesitate because of this. He was a native of Braintree, therefore a friend and neighbor, no doubt, of John Adams, who was afterward to be the second President ' i of the United States. As a member of the Committee pf Patriots appointed after the massacre in Boston asking the British to withdraw, Hancock ' had counseled every honorable means to avoid the conflict impending. At the funeral of the slain he preached an oration in which he flayed the cowardice of the British officers and men in slaughtering unarmed men. When the Continental Congress was formed John Hancock represented Massachusetts therein and in served as its president. In his spacious Boston mansion meanwhile Lord Percy, Britains pet, held sway. A price was put on the head of John Hancock as well, which only amused the game patriot. Hancock was so eager to fight that he let it be known that he was willing to face the hardships of the field. After his Revolutionary service was, over, Hancock was elected the first governor of Massachusetts, which office he held from 1787 until his death. John Adams spoke of hint as a clever fellow, a bit spoiled by a legacy." He left no descendants and so busy were his heirs in distributing his property after his death that they did not erect a tombstone.

When the Fourth Was Noisiest Day OOKING back from the security of our present Fourth of July saneness to the early 1900s when all Fourths were insane, we are compelled to admit that we did pretty well in those days considering the limited means we had of being insane compared to the advantages we, enjoy now in our state of scientific sanity, states a writer in the Kansas City Star. To a boy of the Insane Fourth era, the Fourth of July ranked only with Christmas in fiscal importance. On Christmas we knew it was 192 days to the Fourth, and on the Fourth we knew we had only 173 days until S'mGi DBBS NEVER ib Q3QQHBGB0I0DQ1 LOWiRRICE savings funds Christmas. Christmas had not been invented at that time, and would have been of no interest to boys anyhow, because boys were on the receiving end at Christmas. On the night before the Fourth, the children began showing strange symptoms, especially an unnatural willingness to go to bed early. That gesture was deceiving and specious ; the children were not interested in getting their, rightful rest before a strenuous day, but were insuring themselves against the sad accident of sleeping past three oclock in the morning. Any .boy who wasnt out by three oclock in the morning shooting firecrackers under the respective windows of the pastor, the school principal and the tru ancy officer was deemed a sissy and not fit for human companionship the rest of the day. ' The opening ceremony was the only one unanimously attended. From that time on, too many things were happen Ing to engage the entire Juvenile attention at one time. There was the sunrise saluje of 21 guns, engineered by jthe village backsmlth who placed one great anvil upon another with giant powder In between, touched off from a . daring proximity with a red hot iron. Usually the nether anvil grew very hot before the 21 salutes were fired and this was one of the causes of many distressing accidents in the insane era. At ten oclock there was the rendition of the Banner, led by the band and assisted by the ladies of the G. A. It., whose voices sometimes didnt quite make the high notes ; and the reading of the Declaration of Independence by the mayor. Hostilities usually were suspended at noon for the community dinner in the city park, where fried chicken, water melon and lemonade from a barrel engaged the general attention until satiety was reached. The afternoon was a dizzy succession of patriotic and athletic events, wherein the popular candidate for congress, vied with a greased pole, a contest and a ball game, for popular attention. Such was the Fourth of July celebration in the early 1900s, fraught, as one may see, with great dangers later minimized by the Sane Fourth .al THRIFT TIREV19367 The new Firestone FIRST LINE QUALITY Standard Tire has been designed and constructed by Firestone skilled tire engineers it is a first quality tire, built of first grade materials, embodying exclusive Firestone patented construction features.
