The Quality of Patriotism That Made American Independence Possi ble --The Same That Keeps Her Today Respected By All The Earth. (By special wire to the Argus.) New Haven, Conn., July 5. One hundred and twenty-eight years ago today, on July 5, 1779, a small body of beardless Yale students marched brave ly out to the edge of the town to give battle to the British veterans who had come to take New Haven. Today a monument commemorating the hero ism of the youthful students was placed on the spot at West Bridge, where the British -were repulsed. The monument cost $30,000 and was designed by James Edward Kelly, of New York. The monument consists of three bronze figures of heroic size And dressed in the costume of the col slege boys ot colonial times. They are seen operating a piece of field artillery and the whole is mounted on' a' pedes tal of granite suitably inscribed, v The conflict which the memorial commemorates was one of the stirring incidents of the American Revolution. The British had planned to cause "Washington to weaken his forces at West Point in order to defend the Con ' necticut i coast. New Haven, ', then a town of 1.800 inhabitants, was to be the object of the British attack.. Presi dent Stiles, from the steeple of Yale College saw the British fleet preparing to sail irom West : Haven, and called out the students for the defence of the town. ; -. .. Under C3eneral Garth' the British forced a landing, hotly -opposed by t he Yale boys and the patriots,' and pro ceeded to plunder and destroy. A pitched battle was fought at the north west corner of Broadway, and the de fenders were eventually overwhelmed bv sunerior numbers. Meanwhile the British had landed 1,500 men at Light house Point; and advanced from the cast, with the intention of forming a junction with those in the town and crushine all opposition, while Sir George Collier bombarded the town from the warships in the harbor. Bv this time, however, the entire countryseat was aroused, and the pa triots gathered in such numbers that the British withdrew and burned Fair field. TheJ heroic students of Yale were therefore left in possession ot the college town. 100,000 VETERANS INCREASE IN PRECIOUS STONES. Business Amounts to Forty-One Mil lions More Than Previous Year.

Judge J. , C. Pritchard Introduces Governor Glenn at Asheville. Greensboro IndustrialNews. The following are the remarks made by Judge Pritchard introducing Gov ernor Glenn at auditorium last Sunday night in Asheville: , ' ; We have assembled this evening to listen to the discussion of a subject which is of vital importance to every citizen in Asheville. In the nation, as well as in the State, : there are many important questions presented to the people for their consideration at this time, but in my humble judgment the most important question which now engages the attention ' of the American people is the moral and intellectual development of the young men and women. The subject which is to be discussed on this occasion is one that affects eve ry fireside in this community. It is, whether we shall rid Asheville of the sale of intoxicating liquors. For one I shrfll never cease to continue my efforts in$ehalf of the cause of temperance un til every inch of North Carolina's soil is subject to absolute and uncondition al prohibition. . The people of North Carolina are ex ceedingly fortunate in that they have a governor who . is devoting his time and energy to those things which are calculated to strengthen the cause of temperance and Christianity. He is one of the ablest men who ever occupied the gubernatorial chair, and best of all, he has the courage of his convictions, and is willing and ready at all times to take a bold stand in behalf of those who are endeavoring to drive sin and iniquity from our midst. I think as much of him as any one in North Carolina, except my wife and othr members of my family, and un der these circumstances, it is especially gratifying-to me to be able to present to you our distinguished governor, who will-How address you.

I, What It Does For the Up building of a Town. A Day Laborer Can Own His Home With Rent Money: How It Gan Be Done. Greensboro Industrial News: If there is anybody in this section ot the country who knows more about building and loan associations than S. Wittkowsky, of Charlotte, his name has not yet been handed in for that class. Therefore, when he makes a statement in this connection it may be relied upon. Not only because Mr. Wittkowsky is a truthful man, but be cause the truth he speaks is based upon both theory and experience, a combi nation which produces the N fullest knowledge attainable. Charlotte stands at the head of the building and loan towns in North Carolina, and it is no where near the rear of the procession when compared with places of similar size, and even much larger, throughout the country. ,It is not handing out chunks of flattery to say that to Mr. Wittkowsky 's judgment and exper ience, coupled with his personal energy and public-spirit, is due, in large meas ure, the proud position which Charlotte holds as a home-building town. With this much said, and justly said, a fortification has been thrown around a statement which might otherwise cre ate at least a suspicion of doubt. The statement referred to was used in a speech made by Mr. Wittkowsky before Tuesday night's meeting of the State Building and Loan League in this city. It was this: "A day laborer can own his home with rent money." ' ,An Industrial News reporter inter viewed Mr. Wittkowsky today upon this subject, and he very kindly pro ceeded,! show how a laborer can own his home with rent money, as follows: "A day laborer pays rent per week, say $1, or $52 per year. It takes a se ries six years and twenty weeks to ma ture. In six years and twenty weeks he pays the landlord rent, $332,, and is no nearer owning a home than before, but is actually worse off, being now six and one-third years older and that much nearer incapaciated for work. Say a house renting for $1 per week will sell for $500. Let him take three shares of stock, borrow $300 and pay that amount on his house, and on which he will have to pay. to the build ing and loan association as follows: On three shares 25 per cent, per week, seventy-five cents: interest on $300 per week at 6 per cent., thirty-five cents; interest on $200 to the landowner, twenty-three cents; total $1.33 per week. Hence thirty-three cents more per week than his rent, and in six and one-third yerrs makes $109 this much more than the rent during that time. Now let him take two more shares, and borrow from the building and loan as sociation $200, and pay up in full the purchase money. - This new loan, when the two shares are matured, will cost him, with interest, $241, making a total of $350. Now let us count six and one- wthird years' additional rent which he would have had to pay the landlord, which amounts to $332, thus making his home by that method costing him but $16." v "Suppose, Mr. Wittkowsky, the la borer had borrowed the money from another source than a building and loan association, what would have been the result?" - "I'm glad you asked me that ques tion. Let ie give you the answer in tabulated form. Here it is: "In three years he 'will pay back $300; interest on $300 for six . and one third years, $190; pay the other ' $200; interest' on $200 for six and one-third years, $76; deduct the $664 rent, leav ing $102; deduct the amount the house will cost through the building and loan, j namely $18, leaving $84, which means it would have cost him $84 more than if he had borrowed from abuildingand loan association. "But now comes the most important question," added Mr. Wittkowsky. How many wage-earners ever get to gether $500 in bulk to repay the loan from an outsider I venture to say not five in a hundred. Whereas, in a build ing and loan association he pays the small weekly payments, which he scarcely feels." NEWS FORECAST OF, THE COMING WEEK.

ITCHING TORTURE OF LITTLE BABY Head and Face Covered With Awful Itching Sores and Scabs Would Scratch Until Blood Came Mother In Despair for Treatment Did No Good Dread Disease YIELDED TO CUTICURA ALMOST IMMEDIATELY "I was in despair about my baby. When he was about two months old his face and head were full of scabs and very itching sores with terrible running matter. Iliad to tie his little hands in bags for he used to make his face and head bleed. I had two or three doctors but they did not do any good. I was told to try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and I can say that they stopped the running matter immediately and soon after I had washed him twice he looked almost well, but I used about three cakes of Cuticura Sap and four or five boxes of Cuticura Ointment, con tinuing the treatment for two or three months. I also used Cuticura Reme dies for my other children and took Cuticura Resolvent myself to purify my milk for my baby whom I nursed while he suffered with that terrible itching and sores he had. Now I always have Cuticura Soap and Ointment in the house handy. I shall be glad if you want to publish this letter so that other sufferers will come to know what good the Cuticura Remedies can do.
