Washington's Coat-of-Arms

Regarding the Washington coat-of-arms some
odd discoveries have come to light Quite con
trary to our American belief the Washington
shield does not contain stars and stripes not
withstanding that more than thousand books
and as many more published articles SO proclaim
It, The facts are that the Washington shield
contain bars and mullets (spurs Of the knights
boots)" The earliest reference which | have
been able to find which announces the Washing
ton shield blaZoned with stars and stripes relates
to a public banquet at Baltimore Md. in 1851
where the ideas of an English poet-Martin Tup
per by name-were voiced proclalming that the
American flag with its heraldic notions. was Dor
rowed from the Washington shield. which possess
ed stars and stripes. Ever since this banquet
American authors and orators have, without fur
ther investigation, accepted the statement as
correct The English poet was mised by his
fervld fancy. for the Heralds' college at London
the highest authority on British heraldry. writes
as follows:
"A Washington shield with stars and stripes
(pales) has never been of record"
1t Is altogether probable that Tupper. as well
as others, was deceived by the shape Of the
"mullets." These spurs as worn by the knights
of old. were round In form. resembling modern
cog wheels somewhat and their bristling points
possibly suggested the stars" Of which Tupper
spoke.

FARMERS CANNING FACTORY.

December 5. 1911.


December 5, 1911.
Mr. Thos. NJ. Brown, Springfield. Mo.
Dear Sir:-I bought one of Thos. M.
Browns canning factories five years
ago. II has made me more money
than anything ever tried Anyone
can make money on Browns factory.
The first year canned, in 1907, sold
my tomatoes at railroad station for
80 cents per dozen; in 1908 for IS
cents per dozen; in 1909 for rs cents
per dozen; in 1910 for IS cents per
dozen; in 1911 for $1.0E per dozen. In
1911 We had no rain from early April
until the goth of August, nearly 6
months. l planted acres Of toma-
toes and canned them. Those 8 acres
cleared me 100000, after paying all
expenses for labor, cans, gasoline,
cases, etc. That is a nice sum to
make off Of acres Of ground for
dry season-S33333 per acre net. If
anyone doubts the above statement,
just write Peoples Bank of Sullivan,
Mo. Yours truly,
JOHN p. REBURA.
THERE ARE many farmers who do
not clear as much net cash on a %

cleared on one acre of tomatoes. He
grows his regular farm crops in addi-
tion to his tomatoes. They are out OF

reQuisitioned all his ability in this line
That Washington should have developed such
ability as practical and consulting architect Is
by no means strange when we take into account
his early experience as a surveyor. This occupa-
tton which he followed during much OF his young
manhood gave him splendid Judgment as to the
relative qualifications OF sites for both private
and public buildings, and his dscernment re-
hected in the advice he gave Ito the sites for
the public buildings at the national capital and
the character Of the buildings to be erected
thereon
According to tradition. George Washington,
seated on the Veranda OF an elevated country
house, with the panorama OF the present District
Of Columbia spread out before him. chose what Is
now known as Capitol Hill as the site OF the iegis-
lative headquarters OF the government. He also
not only chose the site of the White House or
Presidential Mansion, but personally conducted
the negotiations for the purchase of the needed
land. The work OF actually designing the vari-
GUS public buildings and laying out the streets and
parks of the new Federal City was left by Wash
ington in other hands. but up to the time of his
last illness he exercised general supervision OF
all creative work and his architectural ideas were
embodied in most Of the plans drawn.
But while Washington acted consulting arcn
itect with reference to many OF our most notable
public buildings he actually and directly re-
sponsible for the plans Of many private resi-
dences and these are consequently of even great
er interest than the public buildings as evidence
of his architectural ideals. The structures are To-
