attend no inaugural ball, either official or unofficial, will make his induction into office less of an imposing event than those of other Presidents in recent years, but it is probable that more Americans will hear Herbert Hoover take the oath of office and listen to the spoken words of his inaugural address than has been the case of any President in the history of the United States. The great radio hook-ups will make that possible. Just how many persons will be in his “audience” it is impossible to estimate, -but the number will run into the millions. This fact represents additional evidence of the amazing growth of our nation during the 140 years that it has been ruled by a President elected by the people. For it was just 140 years ago (lacking eight weeks) that George Washington became the first President of the United States. That was on Thursday, April 30, 1789, and the scene of the inauguration was New York city, then the capital of the United States. A stage had been built on the steps of the federal building (where the present subtreasury building in Wall street now stands, and the Washington statue there is believed to stand upon the exact spot where Washington stood when he took oath of office). The first congress of the United States of America took its place on the stage. Escorted by General Morgan Lewis, a distinguished figure ascended the steps—the man who had led the Continental armies to victory and who had been chosen the first leader in peace—Gen. George Washington. A great cheer went up from the people who were watching the scene. Then took place one of those curious incidents which often happen to mar the impressiveness of historic occasions. Over the throng came a mighty stillness and heads were bared: Chancellor Livingston was about to rise to administer the oath. Instead he kept his seat. There followed a whispered conference with Gen. Jacob Morton, marshal of the day. At the conclusion, General Morton hurried out into the street to the Old Coffee house at Wall and Water streets, the meeting place of St. John’s lodge of Masons, of which he was master. The marshal was absent only a few seconds, but when he returned he was carrying an open Bible resting on a cushion of crimson velvet, the altar of St. John's lodge. Then it was known to those on the platform at least that while the other details had been carried out, no Sacred Book had been provided for the oath. Washington’s second inauguration, in Philadelphia, was less spectacular than the first. When John Adams was inaugurated in the same city in 1797 Washington was the dominant figure. He was retiring from public life, and the people had eyes only for him. Many of them cried. Adams, notoriously vain and jealous, was much embarrassed. Jefferson was the first President inaugurated at Washington. Despite the picturesque tradition of his horseback ride to the Capitol, critical research discloses that the author of the Declaration of Independence did not ride. He went afoot,

which was democratic enough. The historical record shows that he was escorted by a battery of artillery and that a salute of guns was fired as he entered tlie Capitol. He took the oath after making his address in the senate chamber and then walked back to his lodgings. The installation of James Madison in 1809 was attended by much more ceremony than attended the inauguration of Jefferson. The. day was ushered in with salutes of cannon. Madison rode to the Capitol in a richly appointed carriage, escorted by troops of militia. John Quincy Adams refused to attend the inauguration of his successor, Andrew Jackson, the two men being on the worst possible terms. Jackson was in "Washington for two weeks before his inauguration, but didn’t go near Adams. Frontiersmen, Indian fighters and thousands of humble citizens crowded around the Capitol to see Jackson sworn in. Washington had never beheld such a horde of visitors. Jackson and Van Buren rode together from the White House to the Capitol In 1837 in a phaeton made from the timbers of the old frigate Constitution. It was what took place after the inauguration, however, which made this one perhaps the most remarkable in American history. It is described by Frederick Austin Ogg in “The Reign of Andrew Jackson” in the Yale University Press’ “Chronicles of America” as follows: According to custom, the inaugural program came to an end with a reception at the White House; and arrangements were made to entertain a large number of guests. Police control, however, proved wholly inadequate, and when the throng that followed the President up the Avenue reached the executive grounds it engulfed the mansion and poured in by windows as well as doors, until the reception rooms were packed to suffocation. Other guests, bidden and unbidden—“statesmen and stable boys, fine ladies and washerwomen, white people and blacks”—continued for hours to besiege the doors. “I never saw such a mixture,” recorded Judge Story; "the reign of King Mob seemed triumphant. I was glad to escape from the scene as soon, as possible." The President, too, after being jostled for an hour, very willingly made his way by a side entrance to the street and thence to his hotel. A profusion of refreshments, including barrels of orange punch, had been provided, and an attempt to serve the guests led to a veritable saturnalia. Waiters emerging from doors with loaded trays were borne to the floor by the crush; china and glassware were smashed; gallons of punch were spilled on the carpets; in their eagerness to be served men in muddy boats leaped upon the damask-covered chairs, overturned tables, and brushed bric-a-brac from mantles and walls. “It would have done Mr. Wilberforce’s heart good," writes a cynical observer, “to have seen a stout black wench eating in this free country a jelly with a gold spoon at the President's house.” Only when some thoughtful person directed that tubs of punch be placed here and there on the lawn was the congestion indoors relieved. When it was all over, the White House resembled a pigsty. “Several thousand dollars’ worth of broken china and cut glass and many bleeding noses attested to the fierceness of the struggle.” It was the people's day and it was of no avail for fastidious Adamsites to lift their eyebrows in ridicule- or scorn.

tlcular tree, they claim that there Is an interchange of thought and sympathy through which these persons are enabled to ascertain information often of a very advanced nature. A few years ago it is recorded that one of these persons visited an American representing some industrial Interests and told him of the sale of a great tract of land In the vicinity and gave him the name of the man who would

come to take charge. Just out of curiosity a note was made of the name and the memorandum was properly witnessed, and four months later the prediction turned out to be absolutely correct tn every particular. From Volga Boatman to Grand Opera Star Chaliapine, the famous grand opera star, is said to have got his first great chance when he was, literally, a “Volga Boatman”—that Is, hauler of boats

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL, SYRACUSE, INDIANA

William Henry Harrison rode to the Capitol on a white horse, and there was a great display of marching clubs, with log cabins, barrels of hard cider and a loom in operation. Harrison read his address—the longest on record—from the eastern portico. Standing for an hour without hat or overcoat, he contracted a cold and died within a month. His successor, John Tyler, refused to take any part in the inauguration of President Polk, but left Washington on the morning of March 4, 1845. He intended to go by steamer, but arrived at the wharf just as the boat was leaving. Some one called out to the captain: “Wait a minute! Here’s President Tyler wants to go with you!” But the captain shouted back: “Who the Is Tyler? I don’t know him.” And he steamed away without waiting for the ex-President. If Tyler was thus insulted as he was leaving the White House, Polk, his successor, was also insulted on his way to that mansion. He was the first “dark'horse” in American political history and throughout the campaign his opponents had raised the derisive cry of “Who is James K. Polk?” As he drove to the White House after his inauguration, he heard that same cry from loafers along the street. The exceptional thing recorded for Polk’s inauguration is that Morse brought his telegraph instrument to the portico of the Capitol and transmitted news of the events to Baltimore. The most momentous and impressive Inaugural parade that ever moved through the streets of Washington was when Lincoln first took office. Buchanan, an old man in swallow-tailed coat, hobbled along with Lincoln to the carriage. Lincoln was attired in a new black suit and a shining high hat. He carried a gold-headed cane. All the liquor saloons in the city had been ordered closed, and careful plans had been made to thwart any attempt at assassination and prevent disorder among the thousands of hostile persons in Washington. Between double files of cavalry the Presidential carriage moved along Pennsylvania avenue while soldiers marched in front and behind. Rifllemen were stationed on roofs commanding the thoroughfare and cavalry guarded every approach to the Capitol. The journey was made in safety. Stephen A. Douglas, Lincoln’s life-long rival, held the hat of the new President as he read the inaugural. At Lincoln’s second inaugural procession there was shown a model of the Monitor, with its turret revolving and its guns firing at intervals. A battalion of negro soldiers had an honorable place in the long procession. It had been raining and the day was gloomy. As Lincoln was about to take the oath, however, the sun burst through the clouds, an omen which he said made his heart jump. Grover Cleveland’s first inauguration marked the return of the Democratic party to power after an absence of a quarter of a century, and there was great enthusiasm. The day was clear, and the city was in gay attire. An account of the parade said that ’“no such pageant ever before in time of peace was seen on Pennsylvania avenue.” Perhaps the most impressive of all inaugurations was that of Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, in that it was a sort of super-Wild West show, made so by the escort of his Rough Riders, the cowboys, Indians, and other mounted men who rode up Pennsylvania avenue with him. More than 200,000 people were In Washington for the ceremony. * The inauguration of Taft offered the best argument in favor of changing the traditional date of March 4 to a day later in the year. On March 4, 1908, Washington was buried under a snow storm and hundreds who were on their way to the capital were marooned.

along the great river, where men are used instead of horses. As is the manner of these boatmen, he invariably sang at his work to relieve its monotony. He was pulling along the bank and singing lustily one day when a well-known musical director happened to be on a passing steamer. He at once had the boat stopped, and insisted on making inquiries about this remarkable singer, whose job was that of a beast of burden. As a refsuit of that chance meeting Challapine got bis first start on the road to fame.

WIARD QIXANING3 BIG DIFFERENCE IN FRUIT PROFITS Limiting Production Should Be by Less Acreage. The fruit grower has a different set of problems, but in many ways the same procedure should be followed as that the wise general farmer uses, says the Illinois Farmer. Costs per bushel or per package of fruit bear a very close relationship to the production per tree and per acre. It costs no more to spray a tree with 20 bushels of apples on it than it does to spray a tree the same size with five bushels on it. The pruning of the two trees also costs the same amount. The cultivation costs the same per tree, the same amount of fertilizer was given each. The amount of taxes each should bear was the same. Each should bear the same share of interest charges which the business pays out. These charges on the tree which has 20 bushels of apples may amount to 15 cents a bushel. On the tree with five bushels on they would be 60 cents a bushel. There is the other class of charges which does not change per bushel with the size of the crop such as the charge for the package and the cost of picking. packing, hauling to the car and such. These costs may be about 50 cents a bushel. This class ‘added to the other, on the tree which yielded 20 bushels gives a total cost of 65 cents as a result. On the tree which yielded only five bushels the total cost Is sl.lO. The significance of this in a year of poor prices is at once strikingly apparent. Any price between 65 cents and sl.lO is a profitable price in one case and extremely unprofitable in the other. Thus while it is necessary to limit production of horticultural products it must be done not on the basis of smaller yields per acre but decreasing the acreages. This should be kept in mind by the fruit grower when he is urged to reduce his production. If lie has more orchard than he can care for properly the ideal chance exists to eliminate a few unprofitable blocks whose average yield per acre is low anti increase the yield on the better blocks. Even if the result is a stationary production his profits will show a good increase. Nematodes Attack Roots of Young Orchard Trees In sandy or sandy loam soils nematodes (eel worms) are frequently found and attack the roots of young orchard trees, causing small knots to appear on them. Trees so affected are usually weak and die before they come Into bearing. Occasionally trees come from the nursery with knots (nematodes) on the roots, and under no condition should such trees be planted. When the orchard site has been selected the roots of the crop growing in the soil there should be examined to determine whether the soil is infested with nematodes. If knots are found on the roots of these plants a new orchard site must be selected.

1: Horticultural Notes t r Y Fruit trees that are expected to produce a good crop of fruit should be watered from time to time for best results. * • • Any rabbit will eat apple tree bark when snow is deep and food scarce, and when rabbits are plentiful under such conditions, look out I • • • Where a tree has been girdled to the extent that the top dies, it is best to let a sprout start from below, and later graft this or plant new trees. ♦ * • The grape should be pruned in the fall, early winter, or at least before early spring, to prevent excessive “bleeding” caused by pruning in the late spring. Strawberries are set out in April or early May. If plants are dry when received from the nursery, dip them in water and place in a cool, moist place for a few hours'before planting. * • • The autumn-fruiting or so-called overbearing raspberries can be recommended dnly as a novelty for the home garden. The autumn crop is usually light, the quality is not high, and the berries are often poorly developed. ♦ * • Berry patches and asparagus beds! make a good poultry range at certain} seasons. The plants furnish shade | and the poultry helps to keep dowtfi the weeds. A small hole in the gar-: den fence next to a poultry range isi a great help in fighting garden pests. • • • Farmers whw have young orchards: and are bothered with rabbits and' other vermin gnawing their trees will do well to save the blood of hogs ori beef. If the trunks of the trees are washed with this blood, nothing will bother them. * * • Cuttings of American varieties of: gooseberries will sometimes give fairs ly satisfactory results if made from t the well-ripened wood and treated as> currant cuttings. - } • ♦ • There are two purposes for which) the pruning shears and saw are used, In the orchard. The C.it, both in, time and importance, is to train the tree to the desired type of framework.' The second, to maintain that framework in condition to produce the maximum amount of good quality fruit

PfIVLTBY BROOD CHICKS BY ELECTRICITY Easier to Run Than Those Heated by Coal or Oil. « ...... “Electric brooders are excellent for brooding chicks when the weather is mild. In New York state they may usually be used satisfactorily after April 15, or at any time in a room that does not depend entirely on the brooder for its heat,” says Prof. U E. Weaver of the popltry department at Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y. In answer to the question—can chicks be satisfactorily and economically brooded with electricity?—Professor Weaver says, “the answer is yes, but with reservations.” “Electric brooders are far more simple to run than are coal or oil brooders When once’regulated there is almost no more work or worry with them. But they must be in a room that is at least moderately warm, for the electric brooder confines the heat almost entirely to the space under it. It does not warm the room as is the case with coal or oil brooders. The chicks will not do well if the room is cold, and the cost of heating just the brooder itlone gets too high even with a low rate for the current under such conditions. “In purchasing an electric brooder one should be sure that it is provided with a positive heat regulator, that it is well insulated to prevent unnecessary loss of heat, and that provision is made for ample ventilation. “Electric brooders are of two types, those with a curtain and those without. The curtain type requires less current but is apt to be poorly ventilated or not ventilated at all. The curtainless type with a good ventilating arrangement is probably the most desirable,” says Professor Weaver. When to Market Ducks to Make Most Money Green ducks at eight weeks'of age should weigh 9 pounds to the pair, and at ten weeks ought to reach 10 to 11 pounds. They command best prices about the first of May, and from then on until July the price gradually drops. From July 1 to September prices remain unchanged, but by September to November they are up again. The general laying season starts about February and continues until the last of August. The first eggs of the season are rarely fertile. Fertility and vitality are the keynotes of success in duck culture. One way to make money out of ducks is to be ready with a good supply at the opening of the season, writes Michael K. Boyer in the Farm and Ranch. Another important item is the value of the manure, that of duck ranking second to hog for growing vegetables. The trade for ducks Is largely found in the restaurants and mountain and shore resorts, where they are served in quarters—the carcass being cut into four pjeces. Consequently, a duck weighing 4 or 5 pounds, served in that way. will command just as much money as one weighing 2 pounds more. In all large cities, where there is a large Jewish population, live ducks are tn demand. In Chinese sections there is also a heavy call for this favorite fowl.

Poultry Facts Lameness is one of the first symptoms of tuberculosis in poultry. • • • Plan .on sufficient brooding space and equipment, all you have room for. Figure how many chicks you can hrood and then write several hatcheries and decide where you waut to order, and then order early. « • * * There are six steps in raising healthy chicks from hatching to maturity. They are clean chicks, clean houses, clean litter, clean feed, clean management and clean ground or close confinement. It is necessary to have the brooder large enough—and it, Is better to* have it too large than to take chances on overcrowding. • • • Milk has been found to be the best single source of animal protein for laying hens, it being easily digested and rich in protein and minerals. If you are sending away for baby chicks have the brooder all ready for them, warm and comfortable, and clean. They get chilled if they have to wait while you “make up the bed.” • * • Duck eggs are successfully hatched in incubators, bur geese eggs are not. Geese will lay about three dozen eggs per year. • • • The highest egg production has been secured by using milk with some form of meat, such as fresh meat, tankage, or meat scraps. • • • Some farmers feel that the birds will gather sufficient insects while on the range to make up for the lack of protein in the ration, but tests do not bear out this belief. * • • A good incubator and proper hovers well cared for when not in use will last for years and be a good paying investment. ♦ • ♦ Lack of sanitation, due to neglect, i# often a cause for trouble. Unless the litter is changed frequently it will become moist during cold weather. • • * Mites and lice breed under the filth in the roosting house in cold weather, so clean up things and keep them clean if you would avoid much fighting of these pests later on.

Help Kidneys By Drinking More Water Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and Help Neutralize Irritating Acids Kidney and bladder irritations often result fqpm acidity, says a noted authority. The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it may remain to ’ irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread; the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in voiding it. » Bladder weakness, most folks call it because they can’t control urination. IVhile it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Begin drinking lots of soft water, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then act normal again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by acid irritation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithla-water drink which may quickly relieve your bladder irritation.
