Follow it! Follow it! Come, let us march
Under the stars and stripes.
We in whose bodies the blood of them
runs,
Under the stars and stripes,
We will acquit us as sons of their sons,
Under the stars and stripes.
Ever for justice, our heel upon wrong,
We in the right of our vengeance thrice
strong!
Bally together! Come tramping along
Under the stars and stripes.
Qut of our strength and a nation’s great
need,
Under the stars and stripes,
Heroes again as of old we shall breed,
Under the stars and stripes.
Broad to the winds be our banner un-
furled,
Straight in wrong’s face let defiance be
hurled!
God on our side, we will battle the world
Under the stars and stripes.

JULY FOURTH—SAFETY FIRST!
“Keep the lid on your box of fire-
works,” is a suggestion that may save
hands and eyes.
The explosion of pieces carried by
children in their hands or under their
arms while setting off others has al-
ways been one of the most prolific
causes of Fourth of July accidents:
One piece at a time. And let that
piece ‘strictly alone if it does not “go
off” until it is absolutely certain that
the fire has burned out of the fuse.
After all has been said and done to
safeguard against the accidents which
may occur a long list of those who
have forgotten the rules may be ex-
pected. But fireworks can be handled
without accident.
In the first place it has been said,
fireworks should be kept in a box
with a lid, which should be far remov-
ed from those that are being explod-
ed- To fire rockets or Roman candles
with a bundle of others under the arm
is to invite disaster. More accidents
from the handling of cannon crackers
is reported each year than from any
other sources. While they are harmless
at a distance of twenty feet, a suffi-
cient amount of powder to discharge
a cannon is wrapped in the larger siz-
es. The fact that the canon fire-
cracker is productive of an exceedingly
loud noise has made it the most
sought after of all Fourth of July
pieces. If they must be a part of an
exhibition light the fuse, hurry to a
safe distance and remain there.
;
Skyrockets should be fired only un-
der the direction of those who have
had previous experience. When any
number are to be set off the safest
scheme is to provide a wooden trough
set up in the position of an inverted V
and fastened by stakes to insure sta-
bility. . The trough should be one foot
longer on one side than the sticks of
the longest rocket and inclined in the
direction the rockets are to ha.thrown.
When lighting the fuse of a rocket,
which may be seen under the body,
keep your head away and be ready to
jump. After touching the fuse re-
main at some distance, as the dis-
‘charge which sends the rocket into the
air is sometimes dangerous if you get
too close.
| JULY FOURTH, CITIZENSHIP DAY
WHY CELEBRATE CITIZENSHIP DAY?
To become a citizen of these United
States is one of the great experiences
of - life—whether to the boy and girl
born on American soil or to the new-
comer from other lands.
There ought to be a day of celebra-
tion— of public recognition—of unfor-
gettable and reverent observance of
new citizenship.
The whole community ought to open
its arms in welcome. These new citi-
zens are our guarantee to the future
of all the greatness of the past. They
pass on the torch of democracy.
What day so appropriate as July
4th, the day when American citizen-
ship was born—and when the whole
' country has a holiday ? :
HOW SHALL WE CELEBRATE THE
DAY? .
Make it a symbol of What America
Means and Why We Love Her. In
every town and hamlet use our nations
al holiday, July 4th, for this public
welcome. Honor the day. Honor cit-
izenship.
Make guests of honor of both the
young men and women who have come
of age during the past year, and the
foreign born who during the year have
forsworn their old allegiance and tak-
en on fealty to the United States. The
two groups should march side by side
as a demonstration of the American
spirit.
Arrange an impressive procession of
these citizens of the future toward a
central receiving group-
Let there be music for marching
feet—the marches of the old lands and
the marches of America.
Let there be the flags of all the
races represented, each flag carried
below the stars and stripes.
At the reception place have the dig-
nitaries of the town welcome the new
citizens and have an orator set forth
the ideals of American citizenship. If
possible, have some representative of
each foreign-born group say a few
words on what America has meant to
him or her.
Sing the great songs—“Star Span-
pled Banner,” “America,” “The Bat-
tle Hymn of the Republic,” “America
the Beautiful,” the “Red, White and
Blue,” etc. Have no music that is
trivial or unrelated to national ideals.
Music is the great awakener of the
emotions, and young and old, native
and foreign, will respond to its ap-
| peal.
Get foreign-born bands to help,” * |
' Use the flags of all nations as deco-
rations; but always: give the domi-

each’ may be printed or written the. .
It is possible:to introducé national
dances, to give a pageant of patriotic
history, tableaux of historical events,
as a supplement to a simple celebra-
tion. .
Be sure to get the soldiers of the
American Legion and veterans of pre-
vious wars to be a part of the proces-
sion, linking old and new patriotism.
Have courage to make use of pro-
grams especially adapted to your
needs, and use talent characteristic of
your section. 2
Let the climax of the ceremonial be
the administering of the civic oath to
the new voters. When these voters are
not too numerous, the name of each
should be read aloud and the communi-
ty should be urged to do its part by
‘'example as well as by precept to aid
the young citizen to keep faith with
American ideals. At the close, ar-
| range that old and young—all the peo-
ple in fact—recite together the Oath
of Allegiance or the American Creed.
THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I will support and defend the
Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and do-
mestic; that I will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same; that I take
this obligation freely without any
mental reservation or purpose of eva-
sion; and that I will well and faithful-
ly discharge the duties of the office on
which I am..about to enter. So help
me God.” .
© THE AMERICAN’S CREED.
“I believe in the United States of
America as a government of the peo-
ple, by the people, for the people;
whose just. powers are derived from
the consent of the governed; a democ-
racy in a republic; a sovereign nation
of many sovereign States; a perfect
union, one and inseparable; establish-
ed upon ‘those principles of freedom,
equality, justice and humanity for
which American patriots sacrificed
their lives and fortunes. I therefore
belive it is-my dyty: to. my country to
love it; to support its constitution; to
obey its laws; to respect its flag; and
to defend it against all enemies.”
Helped Him a Bit.
“Do tell me, Mary, how Mr. Tim-
merman got up courage enough to
propose? He is such a timid man?”
“Oh, he seemed 'to do it easily
enough after I helped him along a bit.
I merely asked him if he didn’t think
mamma would make an ideal mother-
in-law, and he said he thought she
would, and then I just told him what
kind of a ring I liked the best.”
THE HARMLESS BLACKSNAKE
There is a useful lesson in natural
history in the experience of two fish-
ermen in Union county last week. As
they clambered over a rock they were
attacked by copperhead snakes which
were sunning themselves there. The
snakes struck at the legs of the men
but their boots protected them, and
they dispatched four of the reptiles.
Later they found a rattler and a black-
snake in combat and killed both.
They made a mistake in killing the
wat:
blacksnake. It would have destroyed
the rattler, and if there were any more
rattlers or copperheads in the neigh-
borhood would have killed some of
them, too, for it is the deadly enemy
of these, the only venomous reptiles
found in Pennsylvania. The black-
snake, says an authority, seems to
hold a special animosity toward the
copperhead and rattlesnake, whose
trail it follows, at night by its power
of scent; and having overtaken the
object of its pursuit, it leaps upon it,
avoiding its strokes by its swiftness,
wraps itself about it, and slowly
crushes its victim to death.”
Besides performing this service, the
blacksnake serves the farmer so well
by destroying rats and mice and nox-
ious insects that the United States bi-
ological survey, which recently rec-
ommended that agriculturists protect
harmless snakes because of the good
they do, no doubt had this species in
mind. *
The blacksnake is harmless. It is
The
ar you
gence. If you should pick up a wild
one it might bite you and wrap itself
around your arm, but neither action
would hurt, and it is easy to unwind
the snake with the free hand and arm.
The rattlesnake has some economic
value, as it checks the increase of ver-
min. When agitated its sounds its
warning, which can be heard 30 or 40
feet away. If trod upon it will strike,
but it is sluggish, seldom attacks a
human being without provocation, and
sR
readily tamed and shows some intelli- does not follow a foe. But it is best
to take no chances, and hence it would
be well if we could get rid of this rep-
tile. Rattlesnakes are so numerous in
Forest county that it is proposed there
that oe State should help to exter-
mina em by paying a bounty for
each one killed. ne y
For the copperhead no defense can
be offered. It has an irascible temper,
and is active, approaches silently, and
strikes without warning. Fortunately
they are not very plentiful. —Ex.

“Stay away from that town. It's a
dead one.”
Do you want that to be said of
your town? Of course you don’t, for
you wish, as a matter of local pride, if
for no other reason, to have your
town stand high in the estimation of
the world. But are you sure that you
are doing everything in your power
to place your- town in the position:
which you wish to occupy? That is the
question that every person should ask
himself or herself at frequent inter-
vals. . ;
When things are running smoothly,
when times are good, and when it is
fairly easy to make a good living for
the wife and kiddies, it is so easy for
a man to forget that these things do
not come to a town as a matter of
but are the result. of the
right kind of effort on the part of the
citizens of the community. It is so
easy for'a man to grow careless and"
think that because this condition ex- '
isted it will continue to exist without
any effort on his part or that of the
other residents of the community.
‘| That is why it is important for every
one to stop and think seriously once
‘in a while about what it would mean
to him if the prosperity that makes
life worth living:for him should take
wings and fly away.
Nobody Loves a Dead Town.
Nobody likes to live in a dead town.
No one even likes to visit a dead town.
That is why. you sometimes hear that
warning, “Stay away from that town.
It's a dead one.” The town which has
the reputation of being a dead one suf-
fers as if from a pestilence. Busi-
néss men seeking new locations; will
have none of it. The live traveling
salesman, even, will give it a wide
berth. Those who live in it will get
away if they can. ;
*Yhen,a town is live and prosperous,
local business is good, real estate val-
ues are high and stable, labor is in
demand and wages are good, the
streets are well lighted, the residents
and their property are protected from
AAAAAAAAAAAS
robbery and fire and good schools are
maintained for the education of the
children. When a town is dead, there
! is little money in circulation, store
buildings stand empty with “For Sale”
sign hanging on the front door, there
is little employment for the laboring
man, the streets are dark, the schools
' are crippled. 5
What sort of town do you want to
live in? There is only one answer to
that question. You want to live in the
- live town and enjoy all the good things
that come to the residents of such a
community.
Answer Easily Found.
The only question then is as to how
these prosperous conditions can be
created or maintained and it is the
easiest thing in the world to find the
answer to that question.
If the people of a community will
keep their money at home and keep it
in circulation among themselves, they
need have no fear of ever being com-
pelled to live in a dead town. If the
people will patronize their own busi-
ness men instead of sending their dol-
lars to the mail order houses, the
prosperity of the community will take
care of itself.
The local stores, to a very large ex-
tent, make every town. The taxes
paid by the business men of the com-
munity are the principal support of
the schools and public institutions.
is the taxes paid by the storekeepers,
to a large extent, that make possible
the public improvements, the fire pro-
tection, the street lighting and the
many other things which make a town
worth living in. The mail order house
does not pay any taxes in ‘the town
from which it gets its money. It does
‘not ‘help to support the schools or
ithe churches. It does not help light
, the streets or maintain the fire de-
| partment.’ It is the aim of the mail
order houses to drive small town mer-
chants out of business, so that the
people will be compelled to send to
the cities for their merchandise and
they are spending thousands of dol-
| lars every month to accomplish this
purpose. If they should succeed, who
would pay the taxes that are now
paid by the local merchants? It's a
certainty that the mail order house
would not pay them.
Issue Is Clear Cut.
Every dollar spent at home helps
to make the town a live one.
Every dollar sent away from home
to the mail order house helps to make
the town a dead one.
The issue is a clear-cut one and is
town itself or of the country surround-
ing it. The man who does not care
whether he lives In a live or a dead
town, if there is such a man, need
waste no thought on the subject, but
the man who wants to live in a live
town cannot get away from it. It is
up to him to make his town a live one
or a dear. one.
