Today in order to handle the ‘usiness connected with the revival of the agricul- tural industry it has a staff of 350. It has 33 agen- cies established in various sections of the United States, each in charge of a committee of public ‘spirited citizens who are thoroughly familiar with the banking, agricultural and livestock conditions ‘ef their respective sections. These committees serve without pay. In making the loans above enumerated the War Finance corporation has hand- Jed and approved 7,300 applications. ‘America’s Greatest Document Qu ens AUTHORSHIP of the Declaration of In- dependence, like the plays of Shakespeare is shrouded in doubt,” sserts the National Republi- wan. “Some assert that it was a substantial copy of the Mecklenburg (N.

Only ‘a few days ago | it was declared by a well known public character jthat the ‘signers of the Declaration of Independ- | ence were socialists and bolshevists.’ ' “That doctrine, taught and spread broadcast | Editor! among the youth of the land, should arrest the at-| tention of patriots in these perilous times. A brief} study of the lives of the signers of the Declaration | of Independence shows clearly that they were high-| minded men of affairs, filled with a sublime sense} of constructive liberty. They were not envious} of those who had property; they rebelled against | the absence of protection for their own goods and} the needless confiscation: of those goods by a foreign government. They were pious folks and beleved in| the sanctity of marriage and the home. They re-| $5|Spected law and order and sought to establish a | government founded on law and order. In all re- | spects they were the exact opposite-of radical so-| cialists and bolshevists. | )\ John Hancock was a Harvard graduate, a be- | liever in the enforcement of law and the protection of property. He was a patriot and contributed much to the cause of liberty. Benjamin Franklin was the ablest and most conservative man cf his time.! His glorious achievements for the repubic and the| world make him, next to Washington, tie founder of the nation. Robert Treat Paine attended Har-} yard and was a man of sterling integrity. Oliver | Wolcett, Richard Stockton, Josiah Bartlett, Philip | Livngston, Roger Sherman and Wiliam Hopper, were patriots of the highest order, and men of lofty character. Jefferson was brilliant, wise and pa triotic—a many sided man who merited the distinc- | tion of going into history as the ‘sage of Monti-| cello” John and Samuel Adams both were men of | resolute decision and heroic perseverance—the for- mer a man of ‘cassical and historic learning. “In similar manner might be recorded the virtues of all the fifty-six signers. They were noble men who ‘dared to pledge their fortunes and their sacred | |honor on the issue raised.’ With prophetic vision John Adams in a letter to his wife on the day the document was executed, wrote: ‘I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations Imars a deeper significance than ever. As a peoplé we have reached a point in our national career when we must choose between the preservation and continuance of that independence in full force or a submersion of somf® portion of it beneath new and untried experiments. It is for the people of America to decide; and in seeking for guidance in that deci- ‘sion, all should read and re-read the Declaration of ‘Independence, ponder over its source of inspiration and study its magnificent results. The old ideals must not be abandoned for new, without due thought and deliberation. The Declaration is the nation’s rock of salvation.” | “In these days the Declaration of Independence | Marshall Stark Reynolds, who. has announced his candidecy for the nomi- mation on the Republican ticket at the August primary election as his party’s candidate for a seat in the national house of representatives, to succeed Frank W.

After having finished the course in the common, or grade schools, in his native state, young Reynolds entered the Tunkhannock high school, from which he graduated. He then took a course in the state normal schoo! at Mansfield, and, having decided to make the law his profession, he be- came a student in the law department of the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated in 1905.

It is time the stability of simplicity were restored. The family settled first in Cokeville, where Reynolds resumed the practice of law, engaging also in farming and stock raising on a ranch near that city, which is stfl owned by him and other members of the family. It was about this time that he entered public life and became more intensely inter- ested in public affairs. For two years he served as law clerk for the senate judiciary tcommittee in the national : } The Story of Reynolds’ Life capitol, having been appointed by Scn- ator C. D. Clark. This two years’ residence in Washington should prove of incalculable benefit in the future career of Mr. Rey::olds, as it furnished him with an insight into and a view- point of national affairs at first hand, particularly in regard to the ways and means employed in enacting legisla- tion in congress. Returning to Wyoming to begin again the practice of law, he located at Kemmerer, the county seat of Lin- coln county, about 40 miles distant from his previous home in Cokeville. In 1914 he was elected county and prosecuting , attorney on ‘the Repub- Mean ticket, which position he held for two years, during which he made n enviable record. in the prosetution and conviction of several of the most famous criminal cases in the legal an- nals of the new county of Lincoln. When America was drawn into the world war with Germany, Marshall 8, Reynolds was one of*the first in Kem- merer to enlist, which he did in Au- gust, 1917. He served in France for one year with the artillery of the first army, and was discharged May 26, 1919, with the rank of captain. Re- turning to Kemmerer, he resumed once more the practice of law, forming with his father, N. W. Reynolds, the legal firm of Reynolds & Reynolds. In the fall elections of 1920 Rey- nolds was ‘chosen as one of five to represent Lincoln county in the lower house of, the state legislature, wheré his former experience in legislative and political matters served to’gaia him a wide reputation for usefulness to his constituents and to the state at large. On July 1, 1921, he was honored by the appointment of collec- tor of internal revenue for the district of Wyoming, which position ho still holds. ‘ The Old Piano A dealer in second furniture hauled an old, wornout square piano to the “dump”; the other day and burned it. Marshall S. Reynolds He was tired of having it around, use- lessly filling space. And as the flames crackled and leaped he gave ttle thought to the tender memories that clustered around that .old square-legged piano. It was a bonfire, iuthing more. But surely many a wraith of by- gone days might have been seen tak- ing ghostly shape in the curling smoke if someone there had been blessed with sentiment enough to look for them. The dealer said it was the heat that made the rusty old strings sing in the way they did when the flames reached them. But it was not so. It was the spirit that dwelt in the old piano—the spir’t of the other days —the last fond touch of unseen hands upon the ivory keys yellow with age, and worn as thin as paper by the Pressure of dainty fingers that have turned to ashes years and years ago. No one knew the story of that piano! in the blazing pile. In what home it stood, who owned it, how old it was no one knew. But it was very, very olg. It was a pioneer. of music and culture. It came out inthis western country with the first white folk, be- fore the railroads, when this region was wild and sparsely settled, when the ownership of a plano meant wealth and position, and a refinement rare upon the frontier. The getting of a piano in those days was an eventful undertaking. Bluffs, where the old bull whackers would start out on the long trail across the country, ‘ There was sure to be at least one young woman inthe home where. this piano went. That much of the story we do know. The rest of it must be left to imagination. Cannot you see. the girl waiting there at the gate of the ranchhouse, her sunbonnet pushed back from her face, her hand shield- ing her eyes from the sun as she watches; and how she claps her hands. as the bull team turns tho bend in the Platte and sho gets tho first, glimpse of the big pine packing box in the wagon. You can see the new piano later in @ corner of the big front parlor, the girl with the fairy face and figure at the keys and bending over her a young man of tRe countryside who listens with a look upon his face that only lovers wear. Wid roving Indian maid, sweet Al- feretta, Where flow the waters of the blue Juniata. It has been many a year since you heard that song, hasn't {t? Maybe if you are one of the younger genera- tion, you never heard it. But it was @ prime favorite with lovelorn maid- ens in the days when this piano was *| young. The old piano was a member of the family and its spirit was in tune with every emotion that ruled the house- hold, whether of joy or sorrow. . And, it knew much of both. It vibrated tenderly with love, it pealed grandly the wedding march. it crooned many a lullaby in the long evening when the smell of the prairie floated in through the opened windows; it sobbed mourn- fully the old funeral hymn “Asleep in Jesus, Blessed Sleep.” It was Proud to do that last melancholy serv- ice for its dead mistress, although its spirit was almost breaking as it And so the years went, and the old friends went, and with them went the sweet old tunes, and the sweet old ways. The square piano became “old- fashioned”: and its spirit was out of tune with “modern ways. It still re- tained its pride, but poverty came to it, It sank lower in the gocial scale until it became an outcast, a shabby relic of better days, with rheumatic Joints and keys that rattled and the spirit of joy was dead within it. It was time to mingle its ashes with the dust of the earth. —READER. ‘Meet me at the Smokehouse.” BUY PIGEON’S COFFEE It’s Fresh Roasted Pigeon Tea & Coffee Co.

Blazed.for You by Lewis Allen Browne “It's a good thing you told us to hang that extra chicken that Aunt Mary gave us away up high on a limb of a tree,” said Ted. “Why?" demanded Uncle Ben. Ned and Ted, his nephews had run over to Uncle Ben's place from their camp with a splendid mess of rock bass, as a sort of “thank you” for the two fat chickens their Aunt Mary had given them for thelr Sunday camp dinner. “Well sir, we ate only one of them and hung the other up as you ad- giraffe cquid have reached it, and this morning there were dog tracks all around under it,” said Ned. “Dog tracks? No dogs around here will go after chickens. They've been talught better,” said Uncle Ben. “He's right,” insisted ‘Ted, “I saw the tracks." But Uncle Ben laughed and shook his head. And that is why. Ted took great pains, when he got back to camp, to make exact copies of those tracks. And the next time he ard Ned visited Uncle Ben's farm, Tea showed his drawing of the tracks “. “That dog's name was ‘Reynard’,” laughed Uncle Ben. “Ob, he means that it wasn't a dog at all, but a fox!” exciaimed Ned. “Yes and no,” said’ Uncle Ben. “Those are fox tracks all right, but I Wrouidn’t eny it wasn’t a dog" because Mr. Fox is simply a wild brother of the dog. He belongs to the canine family.” “And you can tell animals just by drawings of their track!’ exclaimed Ted, with admiration. “Certainly, if the drawings are as food as these,” he answered. And that js how it happened that Ted began making a study of all sorts of tracks that he found. He even carried a pad and pencil and made rough but accurately outlined sketches, which he later transferred to cards and did-in India ink. ‘Thus it was that a fovr weeks later when Ted and Ned were visiting Uncle Ben, Ted had seven little cards, each with carefully made copies of tracks he had found. “Did you see any of the critters make these tracks?" asked Uncle Ben. “No sir,” answered Ned. “Well, I'll tell you boys what they were mado by,” said Uncle Ben as he sat on the porch steps with one of the boys each side of him. “You found these tracks on card No. 1 down where there was plenty of water.” “He's right,” said ‘Ted, admiringly. “Muskrat,” said Uncle Ben. Ted Promptly marked the card because he was ‘determined to learn by sight all of the wild animal tracks that he could find, “And it’s a good thing you didn't suddenly meoct the pretty little critter that made tracks like these,” said Uncle Ben, holding up card No. 2, “Ferocious? asked Ned. “Worse,” chuckled Uncle Ben. “He's odoriferous” “Skunk?” asked Ted. Uncle Ben nodded and took up card No. 3. “Well, well, these Uttle fellows are scarca I'd Uke to trap about a hundred of ‘em next winter.” ‘Ted thought rapidly of all the smal) animals that had valuable pelts and cried “Mink?” “Yes sir,” answered Uncle Ben. “But their fur isn't worth anything at this season, and here,” he continued, pick: ing up card No. 4, “we have the jolly Uttle Oghter, the raccoon. Very few dogs can lick a raccoon alon@ in a fair fight." Ted was busy writing down the names to identify his sketches as Uncle Ben examined the fifth card. “This boy is. mighty good eating, baked with sweet potatoes. When you run on to him suddenly he playz dead—” “"Possum!" shouted both boys to- gether. “And this one you'vo marked No. 6 also lives close to the water, and in the water, and under it, and builds dams and under-wster houses and gives warning of danger by slapping his flat tai)’ or top of the water.” Uncle Ben paused as the boys tried to think, but they made all sorts of wild guesses. “Beaver!” he told them. “Should have known when you-said he built dams,” said Ned. “And here's another rare one, a white weasel,” Uncle Ben told them, holding up card No. 7. “When Mr. White Weasel is skinned and mage into- an opera coat, he is balled ‘ermine’.” “I'm going to see kow many differ ent tracks I can find and sketch, for & collection,” declared Ted. “And T'll help scout for ‘em while you do the sketching,” said Ned, which was how these happy cousins started a most interesting collection of Grawings of wild animal and bird tracks.
