Washington's Birthday The anniversary, of Washington's birthday brings to the foreground the most illustrious
name in our history, a champion of liberty who
retained to the end the full confidence of the people in spite of the calumny and envy of his
detractors, and maintained an elevated patriot
ism which will remain a fruitful subject of meditation for all future generations. Forty-five years of his life were dedicated to the service of his country years of preparation, action and achievement and when in September, 1796, he delivered a farewell address to his "friends and fellow citizens," it contained sentiments which he said were "the result of much reflection, of no inconsiderable observations, and which appear to me all-important to the permanency of our felicity as a people." After declining to let his name be used again as a candidate for the presidency and commenting on internal affairs, President Washington, in straightforward and conscientious language, emanating from years of experience in the public service, enunciated principles which be believed should govern our relations with foreign countries.
tudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships and enmities. "Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course." If we remain one people under an efficient government, the period is not far off when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation;
when we may choose peace or war, as our inter
est, guided by justice, shall counsel.
"Why forego the advantages of so precious a situation ? Why quit our own stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice? "It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world."
Somebody Is Always Taking the Joy Out of Life
In this day, when our attitude toward other nations is the subject of a well defined difference of opinion, it is well to ponder some of the thoughts which the founder of the republic expressed upon his retirement from the public service. "Observe good faith and justice toward all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all." "The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none or very remote relation. Hence, she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are assentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissi-
Without inviting the charge of blind hero worship, the American people of this generation can well afford to accept with finality the judgment which Washington passed upon the dangers of entangling alliances with foreign countries and cherish their traditional policy of "observing good faith and justice toward all nations" without "entangling our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition." What Washington said of the difference between the primary national interests of the European countries, provocative as they are of wars, and those of our own country, still holds true, even if more than 100 years have passed sjnee he spoke the words. There has been little change in the diplomacy of the European nations, little change in the combinations and collisions of friendship and enmity. The negotiations leading to the conclusion of the Versailles treaty amply testify to the truth of Washington's observation. Forgotten were all the idealistic utterances of the allied statesmen made when the war was in progress, and behind the cloak of diplomatic utterances each nation fought for concessions that would further her own interests, irrespective of the rights of others. When the American people repudiated the League of Nations at the last election, they voiced their belief in Washington's theory that "it is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the 'foreign world." We have no political interest in the geographical outline of the European nations, and any alliance with a European nation or any group of foreign nations will inevitably entangle us in the settlement of disputes whose causes are foreign to our concerns.

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN . STiCH
GEORGE WASHINGTON Washington Is an Ideal disciple of the dictum that "the child is father of the man." Born of wealthy parents, he was hardly sixteen when he turned his back on the idle luxury of his home, and embraced the outdoor strenuous life. Had he so desired he could have graced the ballroom and the 6alon, surrounded with ease and refinements. He chose, instead, the perils and hardships of a surveyor In the wilder

Boggs boy has a bike, and he wants I swollen rivers wading through threatening snowdrifts fighting ambushed
one that he can tool in triumph up
and down the pike. My aunt remarks that Mrs. Jones has bought a poodle just, from Perth, and she must have a hundred bones to buy a pup of equal worth. We watch the neighbors eagleeyed, as they watch us, with jealous mind, and if they walk in pomp and pride, we surely shall not lag behind. And so the money goes for frills and curleycues and furbelows, and when 1 come to pay the bills, in rivulets the briny flows. If I were living in a dell, with neighbors many miles away, I rnisht be doing passing well, and saving Kopecks every day. But then some other hermit scout might come there and disturb my plan, and I'd go broke, I have t.q doubt, to make him seem an al?o ran.

Like many men who continually defy danger and death. Washington seemed to bear a charmed life or perhaps destiny was simply trying him in the crucible, shielding him at the same time that she was preparing him for larger things to come. Once in midwinter, Washington fell from a raft into the ice-caked, swiftrunning currents of a western stream another time a hostile savage fired at him point blank over and over from under cover on occasions without number he rode through showers of bullets and tomahawks. Always he came through unscathed never did his nerves or his nerve give. Throughout his political as through his military career, his moral courage was as great as his physical. He did what he thought was right even though it frequently made him extremely unpopular. He was always honorable and generous even with his bitterest enemies. j In these days when demagogues think they are demigods, and spend their life and fortune trying to obtain public office, it is refreshing to turn to the figure of George Washington stern, upright, yet kindly refusing a third term even though he had so little money at the time that his home was threatened by the sheriff, and he had to borrow funds with which to pay his most pressing debts. Washington had a terrible temper but more than and above all, Wash
ington was master of himself. He had little formal academic or military education, but what ho lacked in this regard, he made up in the ability to assimilate the lessons of experience, to recover rapidly from defeat, to inspire loyalty and love in his subordinates. He was not a brilliant man rather he was thoughtful, painstaking.
laboriously careful and persistent a combination which is worth a ton of i talent or cleverness and which gives three times as much mileage to the j gallon. We have all heard of the famous cherry tree episode. Peculiarly enough. ' it i3 not generally known that when barely out of his teens, Washington had formulated a code which he called the "Rules of Civility," which, he claimed, exercised a profound influence upon his life. These rules are as pertinent today as they were at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Inde-1 pendence. Some follow: j "Economy in all things." j "Happiness depends more upon the Internal frame of a man's mind than on the externals in the world." ;
"Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, :
Conscience." "Be slow to credit remarks that disparage anybody." "Nothing but harmony, ambition, honest industry and thrift are necessary to make us individually and collectively a great people."

in September. At the outbreak of the war in 1914, Paderewski was passing the summer at his place, near Morges, Switzerland. The suspension of payments of many European banks and the general war upheaval in Poland, made his home a refuge for scores, but finding his own means inadequate to care for all, he was instrumental in forming the Polish relief committee. Representing this committee, Paderewski came to this country and conducted a successful campaign for funds, at the same time recruiting Poles to serve in France. Later he disseminated information in this country on Poland's claim to nationality. Paderewski's career as a pianist has not been an easy one. When he was a half grown lad he studied at the Warsaw conservatory. At the age of sixteen he made a tour of Russia and failed miserably. He was practically alone in his struggles as his father was exiled in Siberia for political offenses when he was three years old. Paderewski's mother died when he was a baby. Several years after his failure he took up music once more in earnest. Later on he was married and his wife died in a year, leaving him a baby.

QO HIGHERX
I was wondering the other day how the aeroplane acted when it struck a storm. And then the idea came to me that it just nosed through it and went higher until it was out of the storm. Storms are surface affairs. And the reason why so many of us are forever fretting away good time an deffort is that we spend too much time on low levels. Go higher and you will be above the storms. It's the petty irritations that kill. People engaged in big tasks get tired but they do not wear out. As you mount, your responsibility grows greater but so do you gain in strength. Go higher and you see more, understand more, and get a perspective that no one gets from the ground where the crowd is. Just as the business man, who has learned to delegate details, grows in power, so may you eliminate the chains that hold your feet to the ground by determining to go higher. In the diary of Elihu Burritt, "the learned blacksmith." were daily lines like this: "Tuesday, June 19th, 60 lines Hebrew, 30 Danish, 10 Bohemian, 9 Polish, 15 names of stars, 10 hours' forging." This man at his shop, pumping the bellows, mastered 18 languages and 32 dialects, and ten years later becarde the president of Westmore College. Go higher! I recently walked into a great public library. Every chair of the big reading room was occupied. There was concentration and silence to impress one. From the dress and manner of many I infered that a large number of those present were from the lower classes of life. But tomorrow they will have risen higher. For to him who has little, but who seeks for more, much shall be given. Keep going higher, my friend.
Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today
v , I Plans were under way to secure a two-day aeroplane exhibition of Wright machines at the old fair grounds east of the city in June. The project was originated with the officials of the Commercial club and was to have been worked out in detail at the board of directors' meeting. The whole plan was hinged on whether satisfactory arrangements could be made with the air men.

Answers to Questions
SUBSCRIBER. Please tell me when is the proper time to trim young cherry trees. In late winter, before the sap starts. It would be well to prune as soon as possible, and in doing it, care should be taken to make all cuts parallel to the parent limb from which the discarded branch is taken, and as close as possible, so that the wound may heal over cleanly and quickly. The first few prunlngs are very important, as upon them depends the future shape and, to a large extent, the yielding power of the mature tree. Summer pruning is practised to discourage wood growth and encourage fruit bearing, with many trees; but shaping of the three, which is the consideration with a young orchard, is done by winter pruning.

Advertising The Seed In every section of our land you will find local products of merit that are hardly known in the next county or state
Occasionally a maker of one or more of these products decides that other folks would enjoy the merits of his goods, if they could hear of them. He begins to advertise so that Mr. Maine and Miss California shall have a chance to know about and to buy them. All over the country folk s ask for these goods, the local merchant sells and advertises them, and people everywhere thus get an opportunity to enjoy them, too. Countless of the items advertised in your newspaper have been put at your disposal because advertising was the seed
that multiplied the harvest. Advertising has made it possible for you to enjoy many economical comforts today because advertising made it possible to manufacture and distribute them in quantity at prices within reach of all. The modern home, the modern kitchen was built by advertising. Folks dress better and more reasonably today because of the advertisements. The advertisements in your newspaper are signs of progressive merchants and makers. Read them to inform yourself on what to buy and where to buy it.
