Ask the Old Farmer: I don't
know why I thought about it
now, but can you tell me how
the old noisy Fourth of July,
with fireworks and all the com
motion, was invented’ SJ,
Milwaukee
Our colonial forefathers started it
They dragged cannon around and
discharged them, imported
Chinese fireworks, and invented
others
Home Hints: Club sod* that has gone flat is good for watering plants, the re
maining chemicals add vigor and color
