Boosting the Farmer.

Live business men in a live county seat sometimes have one-sided ideas about boosting. Their efforts center on shopping excursions, street fairs and other attractions to bring the farmer into town, so he can spend money with the merchants. Building up trade for the farmers is often quite another story. But there is at least one county seat in Ohio that looks at boosting from two angles. The Marietta chamber of commerce runs shopping excursions into town. But it has promoted a million dollars’ worth of good roads through the country to take people round the rural districts; has started a movement to build up the farms, and has opened a market bureau to help farmers find customers for their products at fair prices. This county ships out more than a thousand cars of fruit and truck annually. A little time ago the chamber of commerce held its first banquet, and an interesting wrinkle was developed in the bill of fare. Everything served was grown in the county, and each county district was represented by what it grew best. The whole menu was a fine effort in advertising, at the county seat, the products grown roundabout.-—Country Gentleman.

Nation Is Now 140 Years Old

AS A nation we are now one hundred and forty years young. On July 4. 1776, in old Independence hall, the “Cradle of Liberty," the patriots severed completely their connection with the mother country, and started out to “make their own way,” “Probably no public paper," says Tyler, “ever more perfectly satisfied the immediate purpose for which it was set forth than this Declaration. From one end of the country to the other, as fast as it could be spread among the people, it was greeted in public and private w r ith every demonstration of approval and delight.’’ In his preamble to his immortal Declaration, Jefferson puts forth a new political gospel; and he lifts the strife of a small band of patriots up to the height and grandeur of a universal warfare, in which all ages and peoples are participants. “We hold this truth to be self-evident —that all men are created equal.” This declaration though a self-evident truth to Jefferson, was really a new revelation to Jefferson’s age. In this declaration is the Constitution of the United States contained. Here you have the republic in germ. One might suppose, at first thought, that the anniversary of America’.* independence should date from the day on which the Banner of Liberty was first unfurled and the first heroic blow against tyranny was struck, or, at least, from the day on which the last and decisive blow was given and national independence was secured. But our Independence day comes from no battle in the field. Lexington, Concord, Bunker Hill —not one of these is selected. On this memorable day in 1776, when it became known that the final action was going to be taken, thousands of citizens, anxious to learn the decision of congress, crowded the streets of Philadelphia. In the steeple of the old statehouse was a bell on which by a happy coincidence, was inscribed: “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land and unto all the inhabitants thereof.” In the morning when congress assembled the bell-ringer went to his post, having placed his little boy below to announce when the Declaration was finally adopted, that his bell might be the first to peal forth the glad tidings. Long he waited while the deliberations went on. Suddenly, he heard his boy clapping his hands and shouting: “Ring! Ring!” Grasping the iron tongue, he swung it to and fro, proclaiming the glad

Independence Hall.

tidings to the waiting thousands. *The crowded street caught up the sound. Every steeple re-echoed it, and with cannon peals, bonfires and illumination the patriots that night declared their joy. The first public celebration of the Declaration of Independence was probably that of July 8, 1776, when Nixon read the statement in the yard of the statehouse in Philadelphia, and the king’s arms were taken down in the courtroom. In 1777, in honor of the first anniversary of the glorious day, every soldier was ordered an extra gill of rum. In 1778, the general orders read: ‘‘Tomorrow, the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, will be celebrated by firing 13 pieces of cannon and a feu de joie to the whole line.”

Made His Name Immortal.

If Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the Democratic party and the Interpreter of its principles to the American people, had left no state paper or writing save the Declaration of Independence his name would have been immortal. It fired the hearts of men with the patriotism and braced soldier and statesman for that long struggle which gave America its freedom from George Ill’s tyranny.

At an interlocking switch near Winona, Wis., a freight train was using the switch and had just cleared the crossing when a St. Paul freight crashed through the derail.

Seventeen cars behind it performed a like feat, and when the train 11 na 11 y was stopped only one car was off the rails.
