EVENTS THAT MADE HISTORY
Anniversaries of Independence Declar

Our country approaches two notiblt
dates In it history.

People refer constantly to tlu-in as
the "Pilgrim Fathers," but as Kolan<l
? 'in r, in hla book points out, MFa
thers" Is scarcely a Justified title,
Of the 102 persons who came over
In the Mayflower, only nine had
reached forty years of age. But two
of them were flfty.
Thlrty-olue were children and there
were 10 grownup wotuen, one of whom
was unmarried. As there were 25
bachelors on board the Mayflower,
that lone maiden probably was never
a wallflower.
The three most famous characters;
Bradford, Allen and Miles Standlsh.
were all young fellows, 'aged respec
tively thirty-one, twenty-one and thir
ty-six.
One of the most fatal epidemics on
record smote that little colony and In
four months 44 of the 102 pilgrims
were dead. It was a disease akin to
tuberculosis.
TIMBER SUPPLY RUNNING LOW
Government Planning Measures to Pro
tect Supply on H^nd and Encour
age Future Growth. ?
A larger program of public acquisi
tion of forests by tho federal govern
ment, states and municipalities, and
protection and perpetuation of forest
growths on all privately owned lands
which may not be used better for agri
culture, is recommended In the annual
report of tho forester of the depart
ment of agriculture.
This policy Is made uecessairy, the
report said, by the diminishing tim
ber supply. The rate of depletion of
the forests Is more than twice what Is
being produced by growth In a form
serviceable for purposes other than
firewood. v
"Already the supplies of all the
great Eastern centers of production
arc approaching exhaustion, with the
exception of the South," the report
said, "and even there most of the
mills have not over ten to fifteen
lyears' supply of virgin timber.
"The Soul hem pine Is being with
drawn from innny points as a compet
itive factor and its place taken by
Western timbers. This Inevitably re
sults In added freight charges, which
the consumer must pay."
The report suggested that the fed
eral government work primarily
through state agencies.
New Process for Drying Beets.
By the recently devised new process
In sugar making, it Is claimed that
nearly 70 per cent of the water of
beet roots can bo extracted on. the
spot where they are grown. Thus
dried, the material keeps Indefinite
ly; It can be transported to places
where fuel Is plentiful-, even over long
distances; and It can be accumulated
In stocks sufficient to keep factories
running continuously, fnstead of re
quiring to be used up itr ft short sea
son. ' The same process Is suggested
for treating fruits and vegetables de
signed for Industrial-alcohol distiller
ies.
8hoe Mending at Home.
The calllng-up of the village boot
maker or "cobbler" has seriously af
fected domestic convenience In many
rural districts.
His Importance Is suddenly recog
nized, and hi? loss has, In several Iso
lated midland hamlets, given a re
markable stimnlus to shoe-mending at
home.
Technical classes In soling, heeling
and patching have been arranged, and
country women are rapidly acquiring
the art of cobbling. Lady Petre de
clares that it should be as natural to
do this nt home as to darn stockings.

AII'RKC'IATING MAIL t'AltlMRft
Man Who Delivers Your letters in One
. of tin* Friends of ? Everybody.
Sometimes. it would -seem,\ the re.ally
in|>o:tniit things which hrve come to he
regarded as commonplace, as one's right,
as it were are accepted almost as a mat
ter of omrse. and are altogether too lit
11V appreciated. For instance, tlie busi
ness man. the professional man, the home
dweller, the resident hotel guest, in faet
every one. has quite ntfturally learned
to look upon the regular visit **f the let
ter carrier as a mere incident, a part, mo
to speak, of the working machinery, op
erating automatically, perhaps, but eer
tainly without apparent friction or in
terruption. In some of the larger cities
of t.he United States, in the business dis
tricts, these visits <?oine hourly.
In other sections of the cities there
are usually three or four deliveries of
mail each weekday, while in the country
since 'the establishment of rural- maii
?routes, the daily visit of the carrier
makes possible the prompt receipt of
mail, instead of it being possibly a week
old bcf<<ik? it finds its way from the vil
lage postofficc to the home. This pro
gram is a continuous one, in "which the
individual benefi<*inrv ordinarily evinces
little more than passing interest.
Ilut there <Y>mo seasons- of the year,
like the present one, when the carrier's
sign si fnll? upon alert ears. In the win
ter holiday time, when greetings are he
ins exchanged and messages of friend
ship art- being sent half way round the
earth, the postman is recognized as at
Joust' a friendly intermediary. He Is,
indeed, tho friend, tJio lavish friend of
aii. He rccognir.es no class or station.

tube, have, to be sure, expedited distri*
bution to postal stations and sub-stations,
but tho door-to-door link between senders
and recipients of mail is still formed by
tho unostentatious, capable and depend
able carrier, who appears to know no
difference l>etween storm and sunshine, or
1 t ' 1..
l>otwoen tho heat of summer and the chill
aud snows of winter. His calling and
election seems sure, possibly because he
has made his service indi sponsible. The

than is the horse to be displaced by the
automobile and the farm tractor. Both
