abbreyiation for cubic foot per second
and is the unit for the rate of dis
charge Of water flowing in a stream
one foot wide, n foot deep at a rate
of one foot per second. 1t is generally
used as a fundamental unit In measure
ments Of stream flow.
Second feet per square mile" is the
average number Of cubic feet of water
flowing per second from each square
mile Of area drained. on the assump-
ton that the runoff is distributed uni

An "acre foot" is equivalent to 49,

quired to cover an acre to the depth OF
one foot. The term is commonly used
in connection with storage for trriga'

One second foot flow equals las

dead that long and besides he
didn't think this Teller Washing
ton could of amounted to much
when he was alive being as he
had never heard of him. All Of
which only goes to show how ig-
norant some people is. To our
shame and horror Glenn Hines is
not the only person in Bingville
who has never heard of George
Washington. 1t is for the benefit
of such that we give a few brief
facktS concerning this great man.
Washington was born in Vir-
ginia, wherever that is, of poor
but proud parents. He was a
great statesman and never told a
lie. What great statesman of to-
day never told a lie? 1t was
Washington who led the patriots
during the Revolution and licked
the British and made this country
free and independent, which it has
been ever since. Washington was
a man of stern purpose and UNI
f1inching courage He crossed
the Delaware River on dark
night when the river was full OF
ice and him a poor skater and at
tackled the HeSSians stationed at
Trenton. He was the 1St presi-
dent of the United States and
could of been king if he had of
wanted the office. He is the man
who said he would ruther not be
King than President.
When George and his army
passed the winter at Valley Forge
it was a harder winter than we
have ever had in Bingville. His
soldiers had no shoes and walked
around in their bare feet and like
to of froze to deth, but they did
not murmur or repine and George
went among them and cheered
them up telling that when next
summer come they wouldn't need
no shoes. That's the kind of
man he was. If it hadn't been for
George Washington this country
would of went to the dogs them
days. 1t is owing to him that
you all enjoy the rights OF liberty
and suffrage and free speech and
a lot more 1uxuries. Therefore it
behoofS every citizen of Bing-
vile to know who Washington
was and to revere him and to emu
late him instead of walking hand
in hand with the goddus of igno-
runce like many of you do.

We say, being as we are afeard
if we put off writing a eddytoriul
about G. Washington emmy longer
veil forgit it altogether and the OPP
portunity will git past US before we
know it, we are a-going to take
time by the forelock as we might
say and write this editorial for this
issue. Then it will be did, and we
won't have to poster our memory
by remembering it emmy longer.
George Washington is dead and
has been for, 10, these many years.
We make this statement as a mat
ter of fact and as matter of news
for the benefit of many of our re-
Spected citizens who are not ia
miliar with history. 1t is amazing
how a person can grow up to be a
man in this age and generation
without ever hearing of George
Washington or even knowing he
lis dead, yet such is the case, and
we have a horrible example of 1t
right in our midst. On Washing
tons birthday we happened to
drop into Hen Weathersby'S store
to purchase ID. of sugar on credit
and while Hen was doing up the
sugar we remarked that this was
| George Wasflington's birthday.
| Hen was rather surprised, being as
| he had forgot ali about it.
| We took accashion to remark
that It was too bad George was
dead, being as it was our opinion
that he was the greatest man who
ever lived. Glenn Hines, who wa:
setting by the stove listening tC

asked when the gentleman we re
ferred to was took off and did ht
die Suddint. We told Glenn witt
whitening contempt that Wash.
ington had been dead over hun
dred years, and then Glenn hi
