FRIDAY. JULY .5, 1918
The Fourth 'Round the World.
The Fourth of July this year will be celebrated as never before. It will be a 'round the world affair. In the French Chamber of Deputies an¬ nouncement that the day should be observed as a regular lejfal holiday in that country was received with en- thusiaRtic cheers. '
In Great Britain it is anticipated ; that the day wi.l be celebrated with as much ceremony as if it were a i British festival. Uru^ay and other j stales of South America have jriven notice that they will properly cele¬ brate the great day. Italy will be as¬ sisted in celebrating the festival by a detachment of American troops spe- '. cially despatched to Rome. j
At home the day wili be observed j with unusual and befitting solemnity \ and fervor. i

A novel scheme to sell thrift stamps was originated by the talented I^eigh- ton Brothers, actors, in the way of an entertainment given Saturday evening, in which prominent mem¬ bers of the Lights' Club, Freeport. took part.
Tickets were sold for fifty cents, entitling the purchaser to two thrift stamps and entrance to the hall on payment of an extra twenty.<five cents. In spite of the fact that only a couple of days was given to adver¬ tise the show, a good crowd was present. The entertainment was full of fun and laughter and pronounced the best ever given in Baldwin. The artists were introduced by George Mc¬ Kay in a novel and original manner. The committee in charge of the W. S. S. drive is grateful to the ar- tisits who furnished the entertain¬ ment.

"pruning" became effective in several directions, particularly the tax sale notices. The county is not spending $50,000 a year for advertising pur- *poses, according to reliable reports.

the penalty is very strong if detected. The liquor has been mostly obtained i from "bootleggers" and there is noth- ; ing to prevent them from obtaining the rom in New York and selling it in Hempstead town, and the blame then comes to Hempstead.
If all liquor must be drunk where sold this makes certain that none of it can be passed out to men in uni¬ form, and it puts the blame directly up to other sources. If the entire state were dry the proposition would ! be different, but to discriminate against Nassau County and to blame ' them for the sins of Queens and ' Kings and New York Counties, is not fair.

Spy System Originated by lUllan.
Secret service organizations and spy systems, as well as detective bu¬ reaus as part of municipal police forces, were originated by the Mar¬ quis D'Argenson, a native of Venice who went to France In 1637 and be¬ came head of the police department.
D'Argenson flrst achieved fame as a state secret agent In Venice. In Paris he organlzt'd a municipal secret agency that would now be called a de¬ tective bureau. After he had trans¬ formed the Paris police force from a disorderly band Into a highly efiQclent body of gendarmes, he turned his at¬ tention to Internutlonal affairs and In¬ augurated a system of espionage In foreign nations likely to be at war with Rrance.
Carl Stleher organized the Prussian spy system on the model furnished by D'Argenson's force and sent thousands of men Into Austria nnd France be¬ fore the wars ugaiust those countries.

WHO AM I?
I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world.
I have destroyed more men than all the wars of the nations.
I am more deadly than bullets, and I have wrecked more homes than the mightiest of siege guns,
I steal in the United States alone, over $300,000,000 each year,
I spare no one, and I find my victims among the rich and poor alike, the young and old, the strong and weak. Widows and orphans know me.
I loom up to such proportions that I casf my shadow over every field of labor, from the turning of the grindstone to the moving of every railroad train.
I massacre thousands upon thousands of wage earners in a year. ,
I lurk in unseen places, and do most of my work silently. You are warned against me— but you heed not.
I am relentless—I am everywhere—in the house, on the streets, in the factory, at rail¬ road crossings and on the sea.
I bring sickness, degradation and death, and yet few seek to avoid me.
I destroy, crush or maim; I give nothing:—but take all.
I am your worst enemy.
