He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for 11 his ways are judgment; a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.— Deuteronomy 32:3, 4. ED I TORI AL BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, PRINTER. Benjamin Franklin, Revolutionary patriot, distinguished philosopher r and immortal printer, was born in j Milk Street, Boston, on January 17, .1706. His father, Josiah Franklin, j was a soap and candle maker who I married twice, and of his seventeen children Benjamin was the youngest son. His schooling ended at the age of ten, but his desire for knowledge was so great that he managed to purchase a few good books by abstaining from meat for two years. At the-age of twelve he was bound . apprentice to his brother. James, a printer, who published the /‘New j Enlgand Courant.” The brothers could not agree, however, and the young apprentice ran away, going first to New York and thence to Philadelphia, where he arrived in October, 1723. He was then seven-' teen. His capital consisted of a silver dollar and one shilling in copper. Often has the romantic story been told about Franklin walking along Market Street upon his arrival in Philadelphia, with a roll under each »rm, eating the third, while a young woman, who eventually became his wife, titt“red audibly as he passed. Franklin got a job in a printing office owned by Samuel Kelmer. After working then* for several months, he was persuaded by Gov- । ernor Keith to go to Ix>ndon. where. : finding Keith’s promises empty, he । again took a position as compositor and soon made new friends and a good living. During the year 1730 he married Deborah Read—the young lady who had laughed at him while he was enjoying that famous breakfast of ! "three great puffy rolls.” In 1732 he commenced the publication of I "Poor Richard's Almanac,” which ! for some twenty years was as popI ular in Europe as in America. Its । many common sense proverbs and j useful hints are still household ' words. Franklin had already founded tlie j Philadelphia Library Company, which was the first free library tn the American Colonies, in 1736 he | was chosen clerk of the General Assembly. One year later he was | elected to the Assembly, soon afterj wards being appointed Deputy Post master General. ami In 17 42 in- ; vented what is known as the "Frank- ; Hn'* stove. During the next two j years he published a pamphlet entitled "Plain Truth.” on the neces- ■ slty for disciplined defense ;> Retiring from the printing busl- | ness in 1748, and with a fine for- . tune, he then devoted himself chief I ly to science. The famous experiment with a kite and key took place in 1752. and Franklin's other discoveries in electricity, as well as that one. are now world-renowned. He was an unflinching patriot. While in England he defender! the cause of liberty with great zeal and knowledge of conditions in the American Colonies He helped to draft the Declaration of Independence and was one of its signers I'p on being appointed as an ambassador to France, he first invested all his ready money, about $15,000. in the continental loan This was clear proof of his patriotism, as its repayment was then considered extremely improbable. His influence at the French court was unbounded, and he was greatly admired for his dignity, genius, humor and charming conversation. On tils return to America he was elected President of Pennsylvania for three successive years, and at eighty-two he was a member of the Constitutional Convention. He died on April 17. 1790. at the advanced age of eighty-four, and wa* buried in the Old Christ Church cemetery at Fifty and Arch streets, Philadelphia. THE KING IS TALKING—Bunk! I When the King telephones, let all j other instruments be dumb. That’s j the rule in Mecca, where King Hus- i sein of Hedjaz has had a telephone I system installed, says a recent ar- j tide in the New' Zealand Herald. As long as King Hussein’s tele- * phone is in use, no other telephones I can be used in Mecca, save only the j one with which the king is talking. = It’s a good thing for King Hussein I that he does not live in the United j States for neither our government j nor our telephone system would ' stand for such official interference I with the private rights of other । citizens. I To obtain results that are worth । while in a Community, to do Work that is followed by a constantly inj creasing return of prosperity ana । growth to a community, to do work that makes it possible for other people to live more contentedly and easier in your home community, is a much more difficult accomplishment than making money, but the object is more Worth While. Out in Illinois a city council has prohibited sirens on automobiles, but they can't keep them out of tiiscats. The First National Bank of Argos has been selected as one of the 350 state depositories from a list of 500 applicants. by the state finance board. The Argos bank will r^eiw $15,000.
