WHERE WASHINGTON WORSHIPED History shows that the plot of ground on which stands Christ church, iu the quaint, old-fashioned town of Alexandria, Virginia, first settled about 1600, was acquired In 1704 for the sum of one peirng. Around this sacred relic of by-gone days perhaps revolves more patriotic sentiment than that which surrounds any other of the many old and historic churches In this nation. Au iron fence, set upon an ancient brick wall, encloses a grassy plot which is dotted with many quaint grave stones and also contains the church Itself. Although certain interior changes and renewals necessarily have been made, the general appearance of the church is practically the same as in the days of old. The same chancel rail, communion table, reading desk and chairs and brass candle holders are in use, while among Ute relics in the vestry may be seen the first bible used —made In Scotland In 1776. and the long-bundled purses in which the offerings of the parishioners were deposited. It was to this church, both before and after the revolution as well as after retiring from the presidency, that General George Washington came from Mount Vernon, in his "coach and four”, to worship. The pew occupied by the Washington family, as well as the one used by General Robert E. Lee, are maintained in exactly the same condition as when used by them.

THE PYRAMIDS A GROUP of mounds, about seventy in number, located in southwestern Illinois, not a great distance I from St. Louis, comprise whut is said to be the largest remaining work of the aborigines north of Old Mexico. Whence came these Mound Builders, how long they remained and whither they went, history seems not to record. Scientists have failed to establish the definite period of time which their I construction represents. That these monuments of prehistoric man directly connect us with a vanished people of whose history we know little or nothing there is, of course, no question. It is thought by some that the socalled missions of California, many of ; winch are falling into decay, are as I infants compared with these ancient piles of eartli which stand in mute evidence of the fact that, years before modern civilization, this section was the seat of an empire of a most primitive race. The greatest of these mounds Is known, locally, as Monk’s mound (legend has it that a colony of Trappist monks once lived upon it).. It is more than 100 feet high, covers sixteen acres and, it is believed, must have required 3,000 men two years to build. — 8 1

WONDERS OF AMERICA By T.T. MAXEY i ©, Western Newspaper Union. THE CAVERNS OF LURAY IN THE midst of the broad winding valley of the Shenandoah River — the “Daughter of the Stars” as the Indians called it—in northwestern Virginia, Hanked on the east by a line of mountains known as the Massanuttons and on the west by the main chain of the Blue Ridge range, is the quaint, oldish town of Luray. Ten miles west is Cave Hill, under which is one of our great natural curiosities —the Luray Caverns, to which have come to wonder, study and admire, scientists, explorers and tourists from every quarter. Here the mysterious workings of nature have produced a veritable underground fairy palace, with miles of passageways lined with an infinite variety of curious, gigantic and wonderful formations. Almost every object of nature seems to be reproduced with surprising reality. The indescribably fantastic groupings of the weird and grotesque formations, the beauty and the coloring of the titanic tapestry effects and the translucent and symmetrical, arrangement appear to be the handiwork of nature in a playful mood. One chamber measures almost 400 feet in length by 125 feet in width. Others possess lofty, arched and elaborately ornamented domes. A most marvelous format|on bears strong rt>semblance to a gigantic pipe-organ. .When Struck, these’“chimes” give out, low, sweet,- full notes which re-echo rather spookily through the surrounding caverns. This cavern is brilliantly electric lighted, surprisingly .free from dampness —in fact the atmosphere is pleasingly delightful, the normal, year-round temperature is about 54 degrees and the journey through It an entirely new and novel and unusual sensation. ~ ■ i- -1 •; — v ....

FOR THE FARMERS Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. FOR THE FARMERS Tho Adams County Duroc Breeders' ausoeiation will hold its regular monthly meeting at the county agent'i office on next Wednesday evening, June 5, at 7:45 p. tn. Mr. E. W Baltes, of Greenfield, In liana, will be present and address 'he meeting. It is also planned to have Mr. John V. Morgan, secretary and treasurer of the Indiana Farmers Guide present and give a talk. Everybody is invited to the meeting? Eradicate the Canada Thistle. Canada thistle is one of the worst weeds to eradicate when once it be comes established. The greatest can should bo taken to avoid Introducing It and every effort be put forth ti eradicate when it has once gained i foothold. Canada thistle grows un indefinite number of years from the same roo system. That simply means that th< weed does not need to go to seed ir. order to multiply and spread itself However, if the weed can be kept from going tq seed large numbers which would be reproduced from the seed will be prevented. Os course preventing the weed from going to seed will keep the weed from spreading from one farm to another. The Indiana laws provide that Canada thistles shall be cut before reaching a height of 6 inches, or before the thistles go to seed. All persons having this weed on their farms should therefore see that they’ conform with the law, as well as prevent neighbors farms from being covered with thistles resulting from seed blown by the wind. Although there are several ways tc eradicate the Canada thistle, there is probably no “best” way. One methoc which has always been found to be satisfactory, especially for small patches is to keep the thistles thoroughly cut with a hoe every wt ok oi two throughout the season for a couple of years, thus preventing its growth. Seldom one year is sufficient This will starve out the underground root stock and the this.les are certair. to die out sooner or later. Two o: three cuttings during the season will not be sufficient. The hoeing should be frequent and kept'up throughout the season as long as any growth occurs. ’ Another method which in many cases has found satisfactory is the use of chemicals or sprays. Salt

will do the work if every plant is cut just below tlm surface of the ground and some salt applied to the. eut Ony! This will kill the plant down an far as the horizontal rootstock but pf course other plants which come UP later mint be treated in the same way. This kind of treatment kept up tor two years is sure lo kill the thistles. As a rule there will not be many thistles to be killed the second your IF the work is done thoroughly during the first year. Bpraying with orchard oil has ulso given very good results. Persistence is absolutely necessary with any method.
