— Bemorraiic: Wada Bellefonte, Pa., June 27, 1919. THIS FOURTH OF JULY. Don’t you want this year’s Fourth of July to be the best ever? We're celebrating the birth of freedom not only in our own land but throughout the whole civilized world, and it’s worth a good, hearty celebration— one that every member of the com- munity can take part in. A combination of tableaux, dances, and songs was most effectively work- ed out at a foresighted girls’ camp last summer. The program is pecu- liarly suited for use this year, be- cause it shows America’s struggle for liberty from the very beginnings of the nation to the present day. THE STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY. America’s history was divided into four periods: the Revolutionary war, when America wanted liberty for her- self; the Civil war, when the United States wanted freedom for the blacks; the Spanish-American war, when she wanted freedom for her near neigh- bor, Cuba; and the World war, when she wanted it for all the world. The speaker of the occasion gave a little talk when the audience had gathered, telling the share America has taken in the struggles for liber- ty since 1776, and showing how she has tried to extend it as her vision widened. If you have no one to make a little introductory address, a prologue, such as the one given just below, spoken by America—dressed in a simple red, white and blue costume—could very easily be substituted: PROLOGUE. Throughout all time America has sought For Liberty. Her valiant sons have fought And laid their lives down to unbind the chains That kept the goddess fettered. Stubborn chains, That could be broken only bit by bit. And in her hand a feeble light was lit In the New World, where, struggling to be free From England's heavy yoke of tyranny, America claimed Liberty her own. How vastly broader has her vision grown! Never again for self alone she sought! With Civil war, a bitter price, she bought Liberty for the blacks. Yet even more Her vision widened. In her next great war She helped to set free From the harsh rule of Spain across the sea. Then came the fiercest struggle of them all: America, in answer to the call, Looked out across three thousand miles of sea, And sent her sons to fight for liberty. She’ll fight on till the tyrant’s flag is furled And Freedom’s torch has lighted all the world. The main figure is, of course, Lib- erty, who posed as the first tableau of each of the four periods. Her cos- tume, a loose, flowing white robe draped in voluminous folds, was the same throughout the tableaux. But a variety of effect was obtained by the changes in the bands and chains, signs of her bondage, and by the dif- ferent poses signifying the gradual but certain progress toward freedom. The Revolutionary period shows Liberty half kneling, half lying upon the ground, bound to it by hands and feet. In the Civil war period she is kneeling in a more nearly upright po- sition, but her head is still bowed and her hands, banded together, are stretched over her head. The Span- ish-American war period shows Lib- erty standing. Her hands, their bonds nearly loosened, struggle to be entire- ly free. The World war shows Liber- ty freed at last from her bonds, ex- tending her arms as though to em- brace the entire world. On her face is a look of fierce, eager determina- tion. CHARACTERISTIC DANCES. The second part of each period was a dance characteristic of the time. I wish you might have seen the delight- ful Revolutionary couple walking de- murely through the slow, measured minuet! Powdered hair, dainty fichu and pannier skirt for one, gay waist- coat and breeches for the other, trans- formed two modern girls into an irre- proachable Colonial pair. The Civil war dances made an equally attract- ive act. Only one couple was needed for the varsovienne, while the lancers, usually danced by eight people, was effectively managed with only four. Fluffy, full, beruffled skirts, basque waists, and bobbing curls made the “Belles of ’61” very charming. The polka was the popular dance of the Spanish-American war, and was per- formed by one couple. The charac- teristic of the costume of this time was the bustle, much ridiculed in its day, but very quaint to look back up- on. A series of dances characteristic of the Allies, suggesting the World war, offered an opportunity for charming peasant costumes—the gay and vivid dress of the Italian pez<ant, the dain- ty white caps and aprows of the girls of Brittany, the more familiar Scot- tish costume, with its plaited plaid skirt, and cap with its black stream- ers. A tableau of some scene connected with each periol comprised the third act of each period. The ones used in the Girls’ Camp were: Betsy Ross displaying the first American flag to George Washington; a group of dar- kies, with Abraham Lincoln standing, like a protecting presence, near them. (It was found very effective to have the darkies sang an old negro chant and a song or two, such as “Old Black Joe,” “Suwanee River.”) For the Spanish-American war, a group of sailors in white ducks, lowering the Spanish flag and raising the Stars and Stripes; for the World war, a sailor and soldier, armed, backed by a group costumed to represent a Red Cross nurse, a blue-aproned canteen worker, a farmerette, and a War saving stamp and Liberty bond. These last two were represented by a very big girl and a very small girl, re- spectively, almost hidden behind vla- cards painted to look like the origi- nal bonds and stamps. ALL JOIN IN THE CHORUS. The fourth part of each period be- longed to the audience. After the curtain fell on the tableau of Betsy her neighbor, Cuba, | Ross and George Washington, some | one struck a few notes on the piano | ond the audience sang with a will such songs as “America,” “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,” and “Yankee Doodle.” The Civil war songs were even more familiar, “Old Kentucky Home,” “Dixie,” “Glory, Glory, Halle- lujah,” ete. After the tableau of workers in the World war, the audience sang “Keep the Home Fires Burning,” “Pack Up Your Troubles,” “Fritzie Boy,” “Over There,” and all the songs both we and our soldiers have been sing- ing during these last few years while Liberty was being fought for. Then the curtain went up again, and Liberty stood posed as the Statue of Liberty, wearing a spiked crown, holding a Fourth of July “sparkler” as a torch in her upraised hand. Im- mediately everyone leaped to his feet, and broke into “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Liberty stood motionless till the last note had sounded and the curtain had dropped.—By Virginia Archibold, in Woman’s Home Com- panion.

Not Worried About 17-Year Locusts, But Oh, You Army Worm. Reports to the Department of Ag- riculture showed that the seventeen- year locusts have put in their appear- ance in nearly every State east of the Mississippi river this year. Despite the fact that this threatens to be one of the biggest locust years since 1867, the Department of Entomology are not alarmed, but are worried about the army worm. The army worm has appeared in Texas and begun its jour- ney north. Officials say it can be done away with by burning grass over spots where they appear or by using a special strong solution of par- is green. No Kick Coming.

Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefel- ler institute, who has just received one of the French government's highest decorations, told a story at a New York dinner. f “The medical ignorance of some peo- ple is staggering,” he said. “] know an X-ray specialist who got a letter from a middle western farmer the oth- er day. The farmer wrote: “Dear Sir: I have had a nail in my thorax for 17 years. I am too busy to come to New York, but want you to come down here to Paris Corners with your rays, as my case will be worth your while. If you do not find time to come, send a dozen rays boxed, by express, with instruction card, and I will try to work same myself. “The X-ray specialist wrote back to the farmer of Paris Corners: “Dear Friend: I regret to say that business engagements prevent a trip to Paris Corners, and I am unfor- tunately out of rays just now. If you cannot come to New York, send me your thorax by parcel post and we will see what can be done.” The Persistent Echo. “Good morning.” “Good morning.” “You remember that house you sold me last week?” “Certainly.” “Well, I had my wife up to see it yesterday, and now I want to sell it back to you again.” “But you said you admired the house.” “1 did.” “What fault do you find with it now?” “It has an echo in it.” “That doesn’t hurt it.” “Yes it does.” “In what way?” “When my wife scolds me for stay- ing out late the blamed old house will repeat it six or seven times, and gosh, how I do hate nagging.”—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Apricot Oil. One good that is working out of the evil of war is the demonstration that chemists, under the spur of de- mand, can readily surpass the accom- plishments of German science. The following is a concrete example: Cali- fornia has an annual by-product crop of 7,000 tons of apricot pits, which were formerly sold to Germany and Denmark at $45 a ton. When the war closed this market, and the price dropped to $15, a California chemist bought a supply and started experi- menting. He is now marketing a substitute for olive oil; a meal used in cooking; oll of apricot, known as bitter oil of almonds; American blue, from which Prussic acid can be made, and a num- ber of other by-products. American University in France. At Beaune, 175 miles southeast of Paris, is the seat of the new Ameri- can Army university, which is, per- haps, the most outstanding of the ed- ucational work carried on by the American expeditionary force, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine. Housed in what was formerly an American hospital are 15,000 soldier- students and a force of 500 teachers. The curriculum is notable for its agri- cultural college with a 6800-acre farm. Easy to Manage. “] dare say when aerial travel is an established thing, a trust in air- planes will be in order.” “If it is, it ought to be an easy mat- ter to keep its stock soaring.”—Wash- ington Star. How They Love Each Other. Alice—And so I refused him on the ground that I am too young to marry. Marie—Oh, you clever girl! Who else would have thought of that ex- cuse from you? No Difference THE PROOF IS HERE THE SAME AS EVERYWHERE. For those who seek relief from kid- ney backache, weak kidneys, bladder ills, Doan’s Kidney Pills offer hope of relief and the proof is here in Belle- fonte, the same as everywhere. Bellefonte people have used Doan’s and Bellefonte people recommend Doan’s, the kidney remedy used in America for fifty years. Why suffer? Why run the risk of dangerous kid- ney ills—fatal Bright’s disease. Here is Bellefonte proof. Investigate it. E. J. Eckenroth, painter, Main St., says: “As every one knows, men who follow the painting business are troubled more or less with their kid- neys. I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills whenever bothered by my kid- neys and they have always given good results. My advice is to take Doan’s Kidney Pills if having any kidney complaint.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Eckenroth had.

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF. _ Procrastination, neglect, lack of de- cision, is always a weakness, a dis- ease within itself, and will foster any other disease to which you are heir. Are you going to accept your trou- bles as necessary evils? Or are you going to be one of the great majority who are using Goldine and find relief for stomach trouble, rheumatism, liver, kidney, bladder and nervous trouble? There is no reason why you should suffer more than oth- ers who have had the same trouble, and today are enjoying good health. Why not spend five minutes to inves- tigate the greatest achievement in the history of proprietary medicine. . “Some time since I used your Gold- ine,” said J. D. Wilcher, a well known moulder, who lives on R. F. D. Route No.7, Erie. At that time I was working in Grove City, Pa. I had been in poor health for months from stomach and heart trouble. I suffer- ed from palpitation, dizziness, weak- ness and the worst case of stomach trouble I think any man ever suffered with. Why I had so much gas that it smothered my heart until I felt it would jump out of my mouth. They all talked Goldine down at the shop until they persuaded me to try it. Within a few days it helped me wonderfully. I certainly recommend your medicine with sincerity that it may benefit others as it has benefit- ed me.
