During the depression, Bassett tried to borrow a sizable sum from a gentleman with a well-earned reputation for frugality. It was a forlorn hope. “No," stated Bassett, emerging from the interview, “he didn’t let me have any money, but on parting he gave me free of charge some beautiful advice.

It! ® ^Nasfiington ^irtßdays 4.. lh George Washington never occupied the White House. His ■ executive mansions were temporary, and shifted from New’ York to Philadelphia while the White House was still a dream, observes a writer in the New York Times. Only his name, plus that dream, which was his, went to the city on the Potomac. But in the stress of the formative years he was remembered with widespread festivities at his first birthdayafter his inauguration. Indeed, the anniversary had been hailed even earlier, since the first President was a national hero long before he grasped the reins of government. Ragged soldiers had piped him a pathetic birthday tune at Valley Forge

on the bitter February day that closed his fortysixth year. FellowVirginians had trod a birthday measure at Richmond in 1781. Maryland and New York had toasted him when he was forty-nine and already in sight of success for his arms and for his country. Frenchmen who had served by his side seized the opportunity of rejoicing convivially over the anniversary of

his birth in 1784, when the hostilities and the British evacuation were both in the past. Young men who had been privileged to visit him in his famous I campaign tent organized birthday honors fit for a hero; and in that first February of the new era, the celebrations first began to resemble real occasions. In Alexandria, Va., the town nearest to the General’s stately mansion, the birthnight ball was inaugurated an annual affair. In Philadelphia patriots celebrated “with that hilarity and manly decorum ever attendant on the sons of freedom.” In New York there met “a select club of Whigs,” and drank to Washington, and hailed him with song and sonnet and declamation. The date thus far widely honored was February 11. Washington was born on February 11, 1732, according 1 to the British calendar usages then officially in vogue. Nineteen years later Britain adopted the Georgian in place of the Julian calendar. But the ancient dates often stuck, and it is not until 1790 that we find Washington’s birthday—his first as Presidentbeing celebrated on the twenty-second of February instead of the eleventh by the Tammany society of New York. Tammany in 1790 was patriotic, anti-aristocratic, charitable and ambitious. As yet it did not differentiate between President Washington, its adopted ‘‘Great Grand Sachem,” and the second of those characteristics. In this, the initial year of j government under the new Constitu- ! tion, New York strove to honor the Chief Executive and also to persuade the congress that had come to reside in its midst that New York city was the logical choice for a permanent capital. Washington himself was busy in I New York on that February 22. He I was moving from the Franklin house, . at the corner of Cherry and Pearl ' streets, to the McComb mansion on Broadway, near the newly rebuilt Trinity church. His diary for the day reveals him as an active superintendent of the disposal of his furniture. Meanwhile in all 13 states, birthday ball* had been held, not only by the ! cities with their higher social circles, but aM in hamlets that could only i muster a barn for a ballroom and a . fiddle and flute for an orchestra. Sol- । diers had paraded. Guns had boomed. ; and church bells rung. Banners and armleta and headbands had blazoned '

In 1791, the Society of the Cincinnati held its first Washington’s birthday celebration in New York, having followed Tammany's example by resolving to mark the date each year The President and the congress (an 1 also the capital of the United States), had meanwhile removed temporarily to Philadelphia. But even New York’s disappointment did not prevent Tammany from vying with the exclusive organization of Revolutionary officers to do honor to the day. Alas, the good feeling did not endure. By 1796, after John Jay had come back from England with his hated treaty, Tammany was fiercely for revolutionary France; Jefferson was its god; George Washington was actually being dubbed, in public, a proEnglish aristocrat; and those who celebrated his birthday were coldly accused of being (among other things) bootlickers, idolaters. Royalists and sycophants. The country wide birthday honors of that year, though even more lavish and vociferous than usual, presented for the first time the ogre of party, grinning at the feast. By 1797, however, the Jay treaty was being regarded much more tol-

erantly, and certain French proceedings were being looked at a little askance. Those who refused to salute Washington on February 22, to honor a glorious record for its own sake, and to tread a measure at the evening’s gala assemblies, now formed a rather conspicuous minority. George Washington became a private citizen in that year, and was with his Alexandria neighbors at their

birthnight ball of February 22, 1798— an onlooker, though in his younger days he had excelled in the minuet. There was to be only one more birthday for a living Washington to adorn. He spent that one at home at Mount Vernon, presiding over a particularly joyous occasion. His adopted daughter, his pet, Nelly Custis, was being married to his favorite nephew, Maj. Lawrence Lewis. The radiance went out of Mount Vernon in December of 1799 and the birthday festivities the country over were turned into mourning processions when 1800 brought the anniversary around once more. This February 22 was a universal requiem. The armlets and headbands with Washington’s picture were black where once they had been gayly hued. Throughout the country business was suspended for 24 hours. Theaters, taverns, public halls, schoolrooms and college auditoriums, village greens and parks as well as churches were given over to exercises, meetings and processions expressive of the deepest grief. Washington’* Mother Mary Ball, mother of Washington, was the youngest daughter of Joseph Ball who appears to have been a well-to-do planter on the Rappahannock river. She was born about 1706. Little is known of her youth and early womanhood. She had flaxen or auburn hair and blue eyes. She was married in 1730 when about twentyfour years old. She had six children and died when she was thirty-seven.

On December 23. 1799. John Marj shall, famous fellow-1 irginian of George Washington, introdi.ced a res olution in the United States house of representatives providing that “a ma. • ble monument be erected bv the United States in the city of Washington and that the family of General Washington be requested to permit his body to be deposited under it.” Martha Washington acceded to the provisions of the resolution, but nothing was done. In 181 G and 1819 the memorial was discussed in the halls of congress and again in 1824 and 1525. And again nothing was done to carry out the provisions of the resolution. Displeased with the failure of con- j gross to erect a memorial, influential I citizens of Washington organized in 1833 to promote the project. That body became the Wasltington National Monument society, with Chief Justice Jolin Marshall as its president. The society, which financed construction of the shaft until It rose 154 feet, invited American artists to submit designs for a edifice. Robert Mills won the competition, but his design was not accepted. It called for a circular co- j lonnadeil building from the center of i which would rise a 509-foot obelisk. In ISIS congress passed a resolution I authorizing the Washington National Monument society to erect a monument and authorized the President of the United States and otlicinls of the society to choose a suitable site. L'Enfant, In his plan of Washington, had provided for an equestrian statue of Washington, but the spot then was , a marsh. Thus the present site, only a few hundred feet away, was chosen.

Then, stone by stone, the shaft rose until the pyramidal capstone was placed on Decem- : ber G, ISS4. The memorial was opened to the I public October 9. 1888. Lining its In- ! ner walls were placed stones presented i by states, cities, fraternities, fire companies, lodges and other organizations i from all parts of the country. Stones I from many foreign nations also have ■ places in its walls. The monument cost slightly more than $1,000,990. It is 555 feet 5Vs inches high and stands on a base 55 ' feet square. The lower walls are of granite faced on the outside with mar- , ble. They are 15 feet thick up to about 500 feet; the upper walls, of ! marble only, are IS inches thick. It is estimated that about 23,000 stones ; were used in the shaft’s construction. There are eight windows at the 504I toot level from which thousands of vis- ; itors annually view the Capital city and nearby Virginia and Maryland. Beginning of the Navy The beginning of the permanent American navy was made on March 27. | 1794, when George Washington signed an act providing for six frigates to ; protect American commerce from the Algerian pirates. The act was carefully worded to declare that there was ; I no intention of inaugurating a permanent navy.—Kansas City Star.

Live Stock Needs Pure, Warm Water Freezing Drink Temperature Lowers Vitality of All Farm Animals. By Prof R 11. Ruffner. Head of North Carolina Sta^to College Animal Husbandry Dept.—WNU Service One of the most expensive ways a farmer can heat water for his livestock Is to let the animals drink It cold and warm It with their bodies. I Giving the animals water at freezing ! temperature lowers their vitality, ami seriously curtails the production of dairy cattle. Can you imagine a lieef animal fattening. a calf growing, or a «-ow producing large quantities of milk after becoming thoroughly chilled and shivering for an hour In tins the effects of lit to 20 gallons of ice cold It is estimated that a cow pn iucIng 2S pOMMIB "f milk a i.iy '.urns up more than a pound of corn in u .trin Ing the water she drinks when It Is taken into the body at frcezi! g :emperat tire. At the State college dairy barn where water is supplied at a moderate temperature, there are seven cows producing more than ,'>O pounds of milk a day. The food burned to warm the water is needed to maintain the animals vitality, promote growth, ami to produce milk. To attain her full milk producing capacity a cow should lie given all the fresh water she will drink at a temperature of 70 degrees. If ■ the water is too cold, she will not drink enough to maintain a full milk flow. Tiie resulting loss may be far more than the slight cost of providing animals with water from which the chill has been taken. One of the “Loose Ends” of Agriculture, Is Hay Hay, In spite of Its Importance to the farmer, hits been referred to as one of the “loose ends” of agriculture because of the slight attention given Its Improvement In comparison with other important farm crops, says E. O. Pollock, hay specialist of the United States Department of Agriculture. Losses which come from late cutting anti Improper curing are very real, even though not as apparent to the farmer who feeds Ids hay nt home ns to the man who makes hay a cash crop. Early cut. well-cured alfalfa, for ex- . ample, has a high percentage of leaves and green color The leaves contain more than two-thlids of the protein of , the entire plant. Green color in hay is associated with vitamin A, Important j In animal maintenance ami reprodnr : tion.

Severely . bleached alfalfa exposed for a week ' to sun and rain b *t 91 per cent. Such a prodigal wa<te. -ays pollock, would not be tolerated in many other . crops. Cleaning Up the Orchard Just how to clean up the orchard depends upon Individual conditions. Orchards on a slope, for illustration, require different treatment than where planted on level ground not subject to erosion. Where an orchard is located on land subject to erosion orchardistS have a dual problem, for it Is only half a job to combat Insect pests and disease if the soil fertility is allowed to wash away and thereby starve next year’s fruit crop. It Is for this reason that the orchard on level ground is more simply kept sanitary —cultivation can be practiced and Is probably the most effective means of keeping the orchard healthy. On hillside orchards, notwithstanding cultivation helps the trees and makes for I longevity, an encroaching gully and sheet erosion is about as serious a threat as anything can be, and it therefore behooves the hillside orchardist to plow and cultivate as little as possible.—Missouri Farmer. More Colts More than 900,000 horse and mule j colts nave been produced the past year, largest number in recent history. High prices for horses have stimulated production for past three seasons. । Heavy demand exists for young mares, according to the bureau of agricultural economics. Any considerable increase in colt production will result in a supply of work animals three to five years hence somewhat in excess of number now on farms. Producers of horse and mule colts for sale are advised to study closely trend of next few years, also use of mechanical power, in order to adjust production to future demand. Planting Cherry Seeds Cherry seeds have a thin shell and i do not need the freezing to crack them. For that reason spring planting is preferable. If planted in the fall, they may start germinaUon and the new seedlings will be frozen. It is desirable to startify the seed in sand during the winter to keep them from drying out, and then plant in the open in early spring. It is important to re- । member that the cherry is propagated : by budding and grafting on certain vai rieties of stocks. Gummosis in Fruit Trees Gummosis In fruit trees is caused by a number of factors, the most imporj tant of which Is winter injury, accordi ing to a writer in the Washington Star. I Winter injury is damage to the surface of the tree’s bark caused by too quick thawing after a cold spell. This breaks the bark and may cause the sap to exude in places. The remedy Is to remove carefully all portions of damaged or unsound bark and to protect the bare parts of the trunk by ‘ some preservative such as creosote.
