mon council II met with strong oppo.
bers, and. as the majority had heard
nothing about 1t until 1t was read by
the clerk, the body refused to concur
by unanimous vote. This action was
taken. however, with the understand
ing that the ordinance should be
brought UP again and sent to the or
dinance and police committee to be
thoroughly "threshed out"
Whether or not this ordinance
should be adopted we are not pre-
pared to say, but there are strong
arguments in favor Of 1t and 1t Ger.
tainly should be given due considera-
ton. Experts say that the sale of
undrawn poultry is menace to n
comnunity's health. On the other
hand some of our merchants inform
us that poultry will keep" longer
undrawn than drawn. and cap their
argument with the declaration that It
will DO very troublesome for local
dealers to handle dressed fowl If the
proposed ordinance should be adopt.

While the city fathers should do
everything in their power to help tne
merchants. in a legitimate way, II IL
Is really dangerous to allow undrawn
poultry to be sold, the objections of
the dealers should carry no weight.
The defeated ordinance should be
brought UP again without delay. The

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY % 1907
wAsHlNaroN,s BIRTHDAY.

So much has been written about
George Washington that ii IL virtually
impossible to publish anything now.
But there arc traits In his character
which cannot be too often touched
upon, as their very memory serves TO
cultivate higher plane Of life among
tho men and women of our country
The mythical but harmless stories OF
his character has been unfolded until
II Is deeply impressed upon the minds
of both the young and old. Like Ma
polcon he was full Of perseverance.
He WAS determined to overcome OH
stncles. What better object lesson OF
this trait of character can wo have
than his conduct at Valley Forge,
whero In spite of opposition from the
continental congress and some OF the
States, he held his ragged and dcsti-
tntc soldiers together during the Will
tor and developed them into well
disciplined and effective army
which won brilliant victories in the
spring. He has been described by
nome incompetent writer's as cold
and distant" and mot capable of
showing emotion" but the scene
which occurred when he parted from
his comrades contradicts such state
ments.
JUST MS we today are trying to
pierce the future and are Specializing
upon tho development of this country
in the twentieth century, so was
Washington In retirement at Mt Yer.
non wondering what would become Of
the young republic during the nine
tccnth century. The results achieved
by this new country could not amaze
him If lie were living more than they
have us and the whole world He was
snnguinc. however. and believed that
the republic would develop and sur.
rivc. His later years were devoted
to the study and suggesting Of now
plans for the material benefit and
growth of the country.

that?"
Alva had no difficulty in carrying
out the suggestions. And by harass.
ing Westlake necessarily, succeeded
in realizing her report of Anitas
dream to the exact shade of the
draperies and the silk that covered the
walls. BY pushing the work, got the
house done just as Alva was warning
me that she could not remain longer
at Dawn Hill, but must go home and
