lt Didn't Do to Take Liberties With
Our First President.
President Washington never went to
congress on public business except in a
stagecoach drawn by six cream colored
horses The coach was nn object which
would excite the admiration Of the
tllrongs even now In our streets. lt

and its panels were adorned with Gu

fruits. The coachmnn and Positions
were urrayed In gorgeous livcries OF

The Philadelphia Gazette. a governs
ment organ. regularly gave out court
news for the edifica ton Of the citizens.
From this Journal the people were per-
mitled to learn az much as 1t was
deemed proper they should know about
the presidents movements. and IL fair
amount OF space was also devoted to
Mrs Washington. who was. however.

loved president" When the president
made his appearance Mt ball or u
public reception dnis was erected for
him. upon which he might stand apart
from the throng. and the guests OF Wis.
itors bowed to him In solemn silence.
"Republican simplicity" has only
come IN later times. Very few persons
presumed to shake hands with General
Washington. One Of his friends. Gou-
verneuf Morris. rashly undertook fol
foolish wager to go up to him and
slap him on the shoulder. saying. "My
dear general. am happy to see you %
we'll" At least there is tradition to
that effect.
The moment fixed upon arrived. and
Mr.. Morris. already half repenting OF
his wager. went up to Washington
placed his hand upon his shoulder and
uttered the prescribed words. Wash
ington, as the story has 1t, stepped sud
denly back. fixed his gaze upon Morris
for several moments with an angry
frown until the Inter retreated abash
ed and sought refuge in the crowd. No
one else ever tried similar expert
ment. No royal levees were more
punctiliously arranged than those Of
our first president.-Ncw York Press.

Des MONIES, la. March 18::
Politics is being compelled t,
divide attention with agricul-
ture in Iowa just now because
of the serious impairment of
corn for seed purposes. So
while candidates are seeking to
ties all voters relative to their
choice ju t so agricultirists and
business intere SITS are urging
farmers to test their corn be-
for planting. For the produc-
tion of a good crop of corn next
fall is as vital to Iowa as the
Inauguration ef a good crop Of
office holders. Mr.. Henry
Wallace, former president of
the National Conservation Con-
gress and members of the
National Country Life Com.
mission, has earnestly urged
farmers to be more careful
than ever before in selecting
seed. The Des Moines COM
mercial organizations are d.
recting a statewide campaign
seed selection. Perry G. Hol-
don, whom Ebert Hubbard
classes as one of the twenty
greatest men in history because
of his introduction of the met
nod of seed testing in America,
has paused long enough in his
gubornatorial aspirations to
warn the farmers that testing
of corn this year is of greater
Importance than ever before,
because not only was the Iowa
crop injured by the hard
freezes but also the crops of
other states from which farm
ers might think they could Sc.
cure seed. The farmer must
look to his own community for
seed this spring and it should
be thoroughly tested ear by
ear. Next week sees the rail-
road starting out special trains
loaded down with agricultural
experts to spread the gospel Of
good seed selection among the
farmers. The Burlington spec
ial seed corn train starts form

Orchestra Concert

The first concert by the

under the leadership of Chas
Witt was given Saturday even.
ing to a packed house and was
one of the best events of the
season. This orchestra has
been practicing very faithfully
for the past few months and
their first public appearance
was a surprise even to their
friends for the music was of
the highest class and beautiful
rendered. A program of eight
selections was given and all
were disappointed that it did
not last longer. The city can

artist on their particular in

of the whole gives an orchestra

strung from either side of the
hall which gave it a very pretty
appearance. Some of the out
of town visitors at the dance
expressed surprise at the well
equipped orchestra and stated
that they never had heard any
better. The Musicians tool
great pride in giving the best
they could and each dance was
given an encore. This orches.
