August 8, to Mr. and Mrs Joe Bomtrager, south of town, a son. Millions For Defense. It Is always a pity to destroy a pretty phrase, particularly when so laudable a sentiment as patriotism Is involved. You have all heard “Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!” for the phrase has been famous for a century. It It attributed to Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, who represented the United States In France In 179t5. John Jay had made a treaty with Eng land that threatened to involve us iu a war with France, and the directory then governing France refused to receive Mr. Pinckney, Intimating that the payment of a certain sum might settle the dispute. Then It was, according to a popular story, that Mr. Pinckney said “Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!” It is said, however, that When he was asked about It afterward he answered, “My answer was not a flourish like that, bus simply, ‘Not a penny, not a penny!’ ’* The Democrat handles Farm Leases, Mortgages’, Deeds and other legal blanks. Also prepared to do all kinds of fine job work.
