Tills happens to be the Qlorl- ons Fourth and the 162nd year of our Independence. The day will pass quietly in our eoramnnlty and doubtless farmers will be at their work as usual, but It would be well to pause long enough to salute the flag and to lift our hearts in gratitude for the privi lege of living In the best coun try in the world. It Is the best because of our comparatively pure American born people and be cause it is and always has been the best goverried country In the world. Our history Is short and no one can tell or even predict as to what the next 500 or 1000 years holds In store for us, but suffice it to say there Is no one living now that needs to entertain any fears as to the failure of our government.
