Who would have thought 18 On the Fourth of July—Independence Day—we celebrate our freedom so dearly bought with the blood of our fore-fathers. We are now relaxing our vigilance, which should be eternal and unrelenting, to in- sure our liberty, and in smug complacency, utter indiffereace and soothing somnolence allow it to be taken away from us by tempt- ing offers for a more abundant life, Let's snap out of it and wake up; we are slip- | ping fast, For 250 years the f dogs of the Agus’ toric Swiss monastery have aided the lost | wayfarer and saved over 2,000 lives, but} recently one of the dogs fell upon famous St. Bernard father and sisters mangled her so severely that she died a few hours later. Since the killer could not be identified from pack, Dr. Bremond, the father of the child demanded that all the dogs be killed, te which the monks sorrowfully agreed. Now all dog lovers will hear with joy that the] Swiss government intervened and the sen- tence will not be carried out—a wish fe. cently expressed in this column, It would have been inhumane to have destroyed all the St. Bernards, just because one of them } proved unfaithful to his trust. ian monks at the his- j little } Marie-Anne Bremond and in sight of her! the} THE EARHART SEARCH The intensive search for Amelia Ear- hart and her navigator, Frederick Noonan, engaged the attention of the entire nation for several days and brought into action Many units of the navy, as well as other agencies. The aviators missed Howland Island, 2,556 miles from their take-off, from Lae, New Guinea and in about the worst pos- sible area for affective rescue work, 4,400 miles from the Pacific coast. The dash of j the giant aircraft carrier Lexington from San Diego, with all its planes aboard, was a thrilling attempt to aid those lost some- where in the vast ocean. Under full draft, the Lexington, one of the fastest ships in the navy, required a week to.approach the area where her planes could go into ac- tion. : Miss Earhart left Miami, Fla., on June ist for what she called her last flying adventure, landing the next day in Vene- guela. From-that point she flew to Dutch Guiana, then to Brazil,-across the Atlantic to Senegal, then across Africa over the Sahara to the Sudan, to India, Burma, Siam, Dutch East Indies, Australia and tinally to New Guinea, where she took off for her most difficult flight on July Ist, to ‘sea*the next day. HIBIT ON WHEELS ‘the rise of the soybean he graphically related to ee | of farmérs and others by an ex- hibit car traveling across the country ‘this summer, Prof. J. C. Hackleman of the Univer- sity of Illinois, and president of the Amer- ican Soybean association, has announced plans for the car, its sides glistening with soybean paint, to start in New Jersey about August 1 and make stops in Dela- ware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, covering great centers of production. Cooperating are various agricultural colleges, the federal department of agri- culture, and the National cessors association. The mobile exhibit, which will depict the uses of the oriental bean as a stock feed as well as for human food, is being fitted out in the Altoona shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad where soybean oil already is being used, and various plastics have been worked into much of the car’s equipment, including window sills, door knobs and. floor and wall coverings. ; “Though much has been heard of the various uses for scybeans,” said Prof. Hackleman, “many persons are stil] hazy on the subject. This exhibit is intended to ‘show history, production, importance on the farm and on the dinner table.” He stated that since 1919 acréage has increased in Illinois from 5,000 to 1,334,- 000 acres. and that in 1935 of the 44,378,- 000 bushels harvested, Illinois 24,000,000 bushels. “Of the record 1935 crop,” “85 percent went for commercial pur- poses, the big users being feed manufac- Youndrie human food _ processors | phosaned pierenlk ptertic manufac- HE MARRIED THE FORMER KING The Rev: Robert Anderson Jardine who became internationally famous when Soybean ‘Pro- i produced | he added, | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just Ten Lawrence Crabtree, who is now operating the ferry “on Card Sound told county commissioners at the meeting last night that he ferry system on the water gaps between the mainland and Key Wes?aind have alf‘in readiness by the time the rest of the road is tion df the details of Mr. Crab- tree’s proposition will be made and final answer will bé delivered at the next meeting of the county commissioners.
