Need of Lessons in Economy,

A number of state agricultural de partments have inaugurated series of farmers institutes. At these meet ings, the science of agriculture in it's various phases is ably discussed by able authorities. It appears that it would be advantageous to take up other matters relative to farm life, as well as merely the science of farming. Lessons in simple economy could be given to farmers and their wives, par. ticularly along the lines of country development, of the essentials in building up the country and protec- tion of local industries. This field alone offers wide latitude for ener. getic work. The farmer should under stand principles upon which commerce is based, as well as being versed in the growing of produce, which is the basis of commerce.

TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
Patronage of Home Stores Depends
 Much Upon the Merchants.

How often do merchants complain about the farmers and others sending to distant places for goods, while at the same time the farmers are forced by the merchants to send their pro- duee to some other place while the merchants ship in the same class of products that the farmers are send ing out?
 In the home patronage matter there is nothing so wholesome as reel procity. Do the merchants always give preference to homegrown pota- toes, to the products supplied by the local hens, to the output of the local creameries? Do the merchants al ways show good example by patron iZing their brother tradesmen? Or do they at times send to the city for the clothes they wear; the piano for their daughter, the wagon they use in delivering goods, etc?
 There are lot of narrow-minded, short-sighted men in the mercantile business as well as on the farms. There is a lot of selfishness in the average of humanity, and this mani fests itself now and then in censur- ing others for doing that which we feel justified in doing ourselves. Many merchants seem to think that there is only one side to the home patronage propositions that it is the duty of the farmer to buy everything at home regardless of whether the merchant buys his flour from the home mill, or whether he sends away for the potatoes which he sells, in- stead of buying them from the local farmers.
 Then, again, merchants are as blind now and then to their own interests as are the farmers. The merchant seeks to squeeze the last cent of profit from the farmer and thereby loses trade, as we'll as the farmer trying to save a few niggardly pen nies and getting "bit' by the distant mail-order concern. There is such thing as equity, be it understood, and there is such a thing as compensation The merchant who gives the farmers of his community a square deal and
 
 hardly ever heard complaining about the mail-order house or the depart ment stores injuring his trade But the merchant who is intent upon play ing dead cinch" game is forever bowling. The home patronage matter is mainly up to the merchants of the small towns. People resid. ing in the country are pretty fair. minded. They want decent treat ment. They like consistency. They will even pay the live, reliable, honest merchant higher price for goods than they will the distant mail-order concern or the surething department store, or the scalliwag merchant who is always out to beat somebody out of a few cents.

Parable of the Foolish citlzen.

once there was a good man who labored hard on the farm, and on each Sunday went religiously to church. In time he gained sufficient wealth to move into nearby town, where all his children were afforded a chance for acquiring an education. For all his supplies he sent to a dis tant city. He opposed every proposi. tion to pave the streets of the place, to improve the very schools his chil. dren attended, and when the assessor visited him he was verify pauper for taxation purposes. This man was a highly moral man, pillar in the church, and even worked a soap-club deal in order to secure for the Sun day school an organ. At last he died. It is recorded that he entered the pearly gates for which he long hoped and prayed. The streets were golden, and there was beauty on every side. He marveled; became enraptured with all he saw. To some angels standing by he spoke: "This place must have cost pile of money?" Yes" replied one of the white-winged attendants, but it has been paid for below. Each one coming here must help bear the burden of taxes" Just then a saintly-looking man approached with book, and the new arrival from the farm took one look at him, and believing him to be the assessor, bolt ed out through the gate-and then woke up

an old burial ground, and some very old tablets, antedating the construc. tion of the church, are still standing, and are in remarkable state of pres ervation.
 The square pew, with open door, on the right of the pulpit and under the balcony, is pew No. 5, which was oc- cupied by Col. Washington when at tending services there until the date of his death; he never changed his membership from the church. A sil. yer plate, bearing his autograph, is on the top of the pew door. Orig. inally all the pews in the church were built in square form, but later, with the exception of the Washington pew, were changed to the present-day style of construction.
 On the east wall, under the bal cony and to the right of the pulpit, is memorial tablet placed to the memory of Gen. Washington.
 A similar tablet, placed to the mem ory of Gen. Robert B. Lee, occupies similar space on the wall to the left
 
 man of the church at the commence ment of the civil war, and the pew occupied by him is across the aisle from and little to the rear of the Washington pew. This pew is indi- cated by a silver plate showing his autograph.
 Washington received his commits sion in 1755, as a colonel in the British army, from Gen. Braddock, in the Car lyle house, at Alexandria, Va. This house was erected in 1732 by John s. Carlyle on the brow of hill, and it's base rests on an old fort built in 1915 by Capt. John Smith on one of the oc- casions when he came up the Poto- mac to trade with the Indians. Orig inally the house was reached by a fine flight of stone steps from a beautiful lawn reaching to Fairfax street and adorned by 16 Lombardy poplars ar

How MonopoIies Are Assisted.

During the past few months, mail order houses located in the, large cities have been making more than ordinary efforts to gain trade. These efforts have been stimulated by the panicky times. Residents of agricul- tural communities should understand that concentration of money in large financial centers w1s the main cause oi bringing on the financial depression. They should also understand that the mail order system is one of the most potent factors in this concentration; that this system draws the ife-blood, the surplus money, from communities where it is earned, taking it out of local circulation and using it to build up monopolies in the large cities.

his officers on November 23 17S3 after having overthrown the royal government, he was the most impor. tant factor in the affairs of the new country.
 Ending an eventful and successful military career, he retired to his home at Mount Vernon, Va, from which place in 1784 he wrote to La fayette: T have become private citizen on the banks of the Potomac, and under the shadow of my own vine and fig tree, free from the hustle of the camp, .-.I am solacing myself with those tranquil enjoyments Of which the soldier who is ever in pur- suit of fame, the statesman ;. and the courtier .. can have little con- Ception."
 At the time Washington wrote the quoted words to Lafayette he had no thought that he would be called as the president of the republic, the liv- ing reality of which he had created. But so. and on the 30th day of April, 1789, having been elected on the 9th day of the same month, he took the oath of office in New York city, having journeyed to that place from Mount Vernon in his private carriage.
 Washington served his country as it's first chief executive for a period of eight years-two terms-and de- clined third term. No other presi- dent since Washington has enjoyed that distinction.
 The national government, in con- junction with the states, has under taken to do honor to his memory by making his birthday national holi- Gay and by erecting monuments of marble pointing skyward, but the grandest and most expressive tribute is embraced in the lettering: First in War, First in Peace, First in the Hearts of His Countrymen," as chiseled on the statue which stands

The One Hundred and Seventy Sixth Anniversary of Washington's Birth

delivered over to the yestry on Feb ruary 27, 1773, the construction hay. ing been begun January 1, 1767. Col. Washington was one of the first ves- trymen of the church, and on the day that it was turned over by the builders he purchased pew No. for the sum of G36 10 shillings, agree ing also to pay an annual rental of 6 for the same.
 The church was consecrated by Bishop Claggett of Maryland on June IA, 1914. This ancient and historic edifice is still used as place of wor- ship. It is kept open every week day, and is annually visited by thousands. A small admission fee is charged for the purpose of defraying the expense of keeping it open to the public.
