organization and work under separate
programs, but before they can receive
aid from the institute fund, they are
required to report to the president OF
the county institute the names of
those in attendance at their meetings
who have paid a membership fee Of
not less than fifteen cents for the
year. There must also accompany
this report a statement of the eX-
penses of the auxiliary for the year.
Upon compliance with these condi-
tions the auxiliary organization be-
comes, under the law, a part of the
county institute, and the report of
such auxiliary organization is re-
quired to be combined with the re-
port Of the county institute. Thus
the auxiliary, while separate and dis
tinct in its purposes and scope, is new
ertheless under the general admins
tration of the county institute.

Touch Roast.

When putting into the oven a roast
that you have reason to suspect is a
little tough, put a small dish of vim
egar in also. 1t will make the maat
more tender, improve the flavor and
keep it from burning. A tablespoon
full of vinegar added to a flve-pound
pot roast will make the meat more
tender and palatable. - Farmers

When the SONS of Charles Hewitt

near Silver Springs they found a sick

About an hour afterward they went

Mass of Green.

Sow a large white sponge full OF
rice, oats or wheat. Then place it for
a week or ten days in a shallow dish,
and, as the sponge will absorb the
moisture, the seeds will begin to
sprout before many days. When this
has fairly taken place, the sponge
may be suspended by means of cords
from a hook in the top of the window,
where a little sun will enter. 1t will
thus become a living mass of green

of being we'll dressed gives a sense of
tranquility which religion fails to be-

Canoe Of Early Britain.

There has just been unearthed
from the river AMMAN, near Locker
BILE, a relic of early Britain in the

Girls Turn the Rascals Out.

Young women addicted to golf are
securing young girls as caddies. So
there's another masculine occupation
changing hands.
The players say they never had a
boy attendant yet who didn't either
giggle, laugh, exclaim or criticise
when the golfer made an off hit.
The boys, too, were apt to run off
after stray squirrels or else were too
busy to come at the very time their
services were most desired. Accord
ing to Good Housekeeping, those who
have tried girls find them o re-
spectful, more companionable and
more conscientious. Their strength
seems equal to that of the boys, while
their manners are decidedly more
soothing.

w the soldier, the statesman
AID the President, but very
little of George Washington the boy.
His boyhood will prove interesting
and at the same time helpful to boys
who are striving to make something
of themselves.
George Washington was born on a
plantation of 1900 acres called Wake
field, in Westmoreland County, Va,
sixty-five miles below Washington
city, on the Potomac.
Mary Ball, Washington's mother,
was a mother worthy of her splendid
son.. She had spent some years of
her girlhood at the homeof her broth
er, Joseph Ball, at Cookham, in Berk-
shire, England, where Augustine
Washington, Georges father, happen
Ing to be in England upon affairs con-
nected with his property, met her.
She was regarded as a belle and beau
ty, and had many admirers in Vir-
ginia as we'll as in England. Angus
tine Washington was considered n
of the h%andsomest men of his day,
and was a widower, with two boys, at
the time of his marriage to Mary
7,Ball. Twelve years later Mary Wash
ington was left a widow, with five
children, George, Betty, Samuel, John
4and Charles, and two stepsons.
George evidently merited his moth
er's love, for he was in all things a
ttutiful and upright son. Even for
that time, when children were most
H%respcctful to their parents, he was re-
&markably deferential to them. His
fathers death, and the placing Of hon
Tors Of the oldest son upon him, made
Enim. ven more manly and dignified.
1--WE ere told that at fifteen George was
la splendid specimen Of young man
k6pod. Life in the open air, healthy,
athletic exercise, Clean, wholesome
living had added their charms to the
3sp1endid physique and graceful man
hers he had inherited from his father.
AT fifteen he was head of the house
hold at Ferry Farm, read family
Iprayers night and morning, presided
bit the table, was obeyed by his BROTH
ers, worshiped by his sister, and con-
suited by his mother, herself an ad-
mfrable manager and woman of bust
hess.
When Lord Fairfax, an old &C
5huaintance of Mrs. Washington's in
her English days, called at Ferry
Farm to renew his association with
her he was visibly impressed with
George, whom he subsequently came
TO love.
