father died, leaving all the care Of
the farm to Mrs. Washington.
Soon the time came for him to
choose what he should do when he,
become a man. At first he thought
he should like to be a soldier. But
one day while watching the ships
sail up the beautiful river, he said,
"I will be a sailor" His mother
did not want him to be sailor.
and because he loved his motHer
dearly, he gave up the plan and
went back to school. After a while
trouble arose between this country
and England. The Americans wish
ed to become a free people, so they
began to get ready for war. When
the people looked about for true
man, one whom they should choose
for their leader, they thought Of
George Washington. And so he
led our army until the close Of the
war seven years later. After the
war was over America was free
from England's rule, he was chOs-
en- our first President. And now
we call Washington 1.-THE Father
Of his country" First in peace,
first in war, and first in the hearts
of his countrymen.

For some time we have been re-
ceiving inquiries from investors,
spectators and homeseekers ask
asking where we could sell them
good land at low price and not
desiring to take purchasers and
sell them land in country we
knew nothing of we made a trip
thru Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas
and New Mexico with a view of
getting for sale the best lands in

can be found at depth of from
40 to $50 feet and a we'll can be
bored and windmill erected at
cost Of about 800.
This land grows oats wheat,
milo maize, kafir corn, sorghum
and some alfalfa. The average
wheat yield for the past eight or
ten years is II bushels per acre,
we are informed. In some cases
as high as 36 bushels to the acre
has been raised. Oats will make
from 35 to GO bashels to the acre,
while milo maize will make 40 to
60 bu.
There is some corn raised in this
locality althO at the present time
here is not a great deal of corn
grown. While in the Panhandle
we purchased a section of land.

4NGLO-FRENCH PACT UP.
Clemencedu Refuses to AnsUer
Question as to Whether One Enists.

Paris. Nov. Ex-senator Gsudin de Villaine
created a sensation in the Senate to-day by
making a vicious attack on the foreign and in
terror policy Of the government. After express
ing regret at the fact that the Catholics had not
the courage 10 reply 10 their prosecutors as the
Terrorists did in Russia, NJ. de Villaine charged
the government with playing into the hands OF
Great Britain. and demanded TO know whether
the report that military convention had been
signed between Great Britain and France. a
prelude to the great adventure in which NJ.
Pichon. the Foreign Minister, and General Pic
quart, the Minister of War, had embarked with
Premier ClemenCeau, was true.
NJ. Clemenceau. in reply, after warmly defend
ing NJ. Pichon and General Picquart, who. he
said, had broken his sword accomplish a
sacred duty, announced that he could not say
anything regarding the FranCo-Britlsh under
standing. He did not believe that military
convention existed, but he declined 10 be drawn
into a trap which would place him in the posi-
tion Of discouraging the hopes OF all Frenchmen.
Rather than indulge in a warlike declaration he
would prefer not TO reply.
NJ. de Naine thereupon denounced NJ. Glenn
eHceaU's ignorance 70 whether such a con-
Tention actually existed as being outrageous and
insisted that Parliament should be enlightened.
81. Pichon contented himself with the state
Tnent that man like N. de Viaine. who be-
longed to the party which had brought France
10 the brink OF a precpce. had no right to speak
IN such manner.
The Senate then, by the great majority of 213
20 SO votes, rejected the Interpolation and
passed a vote OF confidence in the government.

MAY BAR AMERICAN PORK
Preliminary French Ruling Because
of Nezc Inspection Rules.

Paris Nov. 20-The elimination Of the micro
scopic examination of pork from the new Amer
lean meat inspection regulations has resulted in
a preliminary decision by the French customs
authorities barring American ham, bacon
canned pork, etc. France agreed several years
ago TO admit American pork on government
certificate that It had been microscopically ex
amined and found sound.
When the new regulations were submitted 10
the authorities here they ruled that they did
no. comply with the old agreement and prompt
measures were instituted TO secure their reversal
and, If possible. avoid prolonged unpleasant
diplomatic negotiations. Ambassador McCor-
mick made energetic representations to the For
eign Office, pointing out that, while the micro
scopic examination had been eliminated the new
meat inspection was more rigorous and more
efficient NJ. Pichon. the Foreign Minister, prom
ised to give the matter immediate attention,
but the question must first be decided by the
Finance and Agricultural departments.
Fortunately, a slight delay will not cause
great material loss. the pork importatons to
France are comparatively small, the trade never
having recovered from the blow it received
when American pork was originally excluded
from France.

URGES POLICE REFORM.
Citisems Union Investigation Leads
to Many Recommendations.

The bureau Of city betterment Of the Citizens
Union has been investigating police conditions
In the city. and has made a report in favor Of
legislation 10 accomplish reform in the police
force.
Three immediate steps in the direction OF re-
form. the report says should be taken One
is to increase the Police Commissioners power
Of discipline by giving him the right to reduce
an inspector TO the rank of captain at will An
other is 10 require the Mayor to give his rea-
publicly for removing a commissioner thus
giving incentive for keeping a good commits
sioner in office for long term. The third is TO
devise scheme by which promotions in the
police force shall be based on comparative rec
ords OF routine police work rather than on tech
nical findings Of the Civil Service Board.
Reform in the police force the report says
must proceed on the principle of rewarding good
work by policemen. and so developing it. The
report argues the case as followsi
In force such as would develop If the COM
missioner were 10 have more power and a longer
term and If promotion were TO be based on good
work done, there would be little room for graft
Fear would tend TO keep it out and i'm a well
organized force the fear of discipline would
be well founded. good tone would tend to
smother II, ana good tone could not help grow
ing In force that was doing its work well 1t
would SIMPLY become a matter of education.
The police force is not composed Of sentimental
lists. They must be shown that il pavs to be
straight before they viii be straight And it
pays 10 be straight if crookeduess Is made dan
derous by discipline and If straiebtness is made
the ROAD to promotion.
