Try the Whitewash-Try it Now!
BY the Cleanup Poet.
In the sprlng-time, gentle Annie,
When the tender buds are swelling
Do Won know the good of whitewash,
Round your orchard and your dwell
ing?
1t will kill the tiny varmints
That yDu chicken house inhabit,
1t will stop the peach tree borers
And discourage Mr.. Rabbit.

Where the festive germ abides,

Would you have a healthy household
In the sprng-time, gentle Ann?
You must use a lot of whitewash
Whitewash everything you can.
Speaking of whitewash, there are
a few unpleasant facts about which
we can speak lie plain and un-white
washed truth. One of these is the
condition in which many of our va
can lots are allowed remain. Mr.
Owenr, if you had a horse to sell
would you trot him around covered
with mud and his name and tail full
of cookie -burrs? CERTAINLY NOT,
Yet your pretty lot is more Thar
likely covered with rubbish, old limbs
broken stone, or unsightly heaps o
dirt. You may say that a business
man IS not influenced by such things
but he might be, unconsciously. Per
haps the eye might be first attracted
to the lot, because of its cleanliness
it's trees, its grass, or because it \
Emlothlyl graded; then afterwards
comes the thought that this lot il
well located, and might be good TO,
such and such purpose, and before
you know it, the lot is sold. Try it.

America rode in this division. Their
pink coats and their high hats ap-
parently were not thought to Jar
"Jeffersonian simplicity" from its
seat. Pink coats were worn on the
hunting field in Jefferson's day and in
Jeffercon's state.
There were 1000 Princeton students.
in the civic section of the parade.
Many Of them wore orange and black
sweaters and they were somewhat
noisy though perfectly proper. Stu
dents from seventeen other colleges
and universities were among the
marchers.
Spectators Cheer Constantly.
All along Pennsylvania avenue from
the capitol to a point four block be-
yond the White House, the spectators
were massed in lines ten deep. The
cheering was constant and Woodrow
Wilson cannot complain that the cere-
monies attending his induction into
office were not accompanied by ap-
parently heartfelt acclaim of the peo-
pie over whom he is to rule for at
least four years.
Every window in every building on
Pennsylvania avenue which is not oc-
cupied for office purposes was rented
weeks ago for a good round sum of
money. Every room overlooking the
marching parade was taken by as
many spectators as cound find a want
age point from which to peer through
the window panes. The roofs of the
buildings were covered with persons
willing to stand for hours in March
day to see the wonders of the inaugu-
raj parade, and many of them partic-
ularly glad of an opportunity to 90
home and to say that after many years
waiting they had seen a Democratic
president inaugurated.
The parade passed the reviewing
stand of President Wilson, who stood
uncovered while the marchers saluted.
When the last organization had
marched by dusk was coming down.
The hundreds of thousands of electric
lamps were lighted and Washington
at night became along its main thor
oughfare as bright as Washington at
day. The loss of the attraction of the
inaugural ball was compensated for
by the finest display of fireworks. It IL
said, this city has ever known.

Woodrow Wilson asked that "Jeffer-
sonian simplicity" be observed in all
things which had to do with his in
auguration. The command for Jeffer-
sonian simplicity seems to be suscep-
tible to elastic construction. There
was nothing savoring of courts or roy
atty. but there was evidence in plenty
that the American people love uni
forms and all kinds of display which
can find place within the limits of
democratic definition. 1t was a good
parade and great occasion generally.
Throngs Vociferous With Joy.
The inhibition of the inaugural ball
and of the planned public reception at
the capitol had no effect as bar to
the attendance at this ceremony of
changing presidents. Masses were here
to see, and other masses were here to
march. There was greater demon
stration while the procession was pass
ing than there was four years ago.

had known nothing like victory for

cordance with the law and the Con-
stitution
The Bible which during each sue
cessive four years is kept as one of
the treasures OF the Supreme court,
was the immediate instrument of the
oath taking of Woodrow Wilson. Ed
ward Douglass White, chief justice of
the United States. held the Book for
Mr.. Wilson to rest his hands upon
while he made solemn covenant to
support the Constitution and the laws
of the United States, and to fulfill the
duties of his Office as well and as
faithfully as it lay within his power
to do.
Thomas Riley Marshall swore feal-
ty to the Constitution and to the
people In the senate chamber, where
for four years 1t will be his duty to
preside over the deliberations OF the
members Of the upper house of con-
gress.
Ceremonies Simple and Impressive.
Both Of the ceremonies proper were
conducted In severely simple but
most impressive manner. The sur
roundings of the scene of the presi-
dents induction into ofice, however,
were not 30 simple. for 1t was an out
of-door event and the great gathering
OF military. naval and uniformed civil
orgapizaoons gave much more than a
touch of splendor to the scene.
In the senate chamber, where the
the oath was taken by the man now
vice-president of the United States.
there were gathered about 1000
people. all that the upper house will
contain without the risk of danger
because of the rush and press of the
multitudes. 1t is probable that no.
where else in the United States at
any time are there gathered an equal
number of men and women whose
names are SO widely known. The
gathering In the senate chamber and
later on the east portico of the capi-
tol was composed largely of those
prominent for their services in Amer
lea, and in part of foreigners who
have secured places for their names
in the current history of the worlds
doings.
Arranged by Congress.
The arrangements of the ceremonies
for the inauguration of Woodrow VIII
son and Thomas Riley Marshall were
made by the joint committee on ar
rangements of congress. The senate
section of this committee was ruled
by a majority of Republicans, but
there is Democratic testimony to the
fact that the Republican senators
were willing to outdo their Democratic
brethren in the work of making or
derby and impressive the inaugural
ceremonies in honor of two chieftains
of the opposition.
President Taft and President-eIect
Wilson rode together from the White
House to the capitol. accompanied by
two members of the congressional
committee of arrangements. The vice

White House to the capitol and In the
carriage with him were the senate's

Regulars In First Division.
The regulars Of the country's two
armed service naturally had the right
of way. Maj. Gen. w. w. Wother-
spoon. United States army, was in
command of the first division, in
which marched the soldiers and sailors
and marines from the posts and the
navy yards within days ride Of
Washington. The West Point cadets
and the midshipmen from the naval
academy at Annapolis, competent be-
yond other corps in manual and in
evolution. the future generals and ad-
mirals of the army, had place in the
first division.
All branches of the army service

fantry and signal corps. The sailors
and marines from half a dozen battle
ships rolled along smartly in the wake
Of their landsmen brethren.
The National Guard division follow
ed the division of regulars. 1t was
commanded by Brig. Gen. Albert L.
Mills, United States army, who wore
the medal of honor given him for coz
spicuous personal gallantry at the bat
tie of San Juan hill. General Mills is
the chief of the militia division of the
United States war department.
The entire National Guard of New
Jersey was in line, and Pennsylvania,

Georgia, Maine and North Carolina.
were represented by bodies of civilian
soldiers. Cadets from many of the
private and state military schools of
the country had a place in the militia
division.
Veterans and Civilians.
The third division of the parade was
of Grand Army of the Re-
public veterans, members of the Union
Veteran league and of the Spanish
war organizations. Gen. James e.
Stuart of Chicago, veteran Of both
the Civil and the Spanish wars. was
in command.
Robert N. Harper, chief marshal of
the civic forces, commanded the fourth
division. Under his charge were po-
litical organizations from all parts of
the country, among them being Tam
many, represented by 1000 of its
braves, and Democratic clubs from

Parade a Monster Affair.
The military and the civil parade, a
huge affair which stretched it's
length for miles along the Washington
streets, formed on the avenues radiat-
ing from the capitol. After President
elect Wilson had become President
Wilson and Vice-President-elect Mar
shall had become vice-President
Marshall. they went straightway from
the capitol to the White House and
thence shortly to the reviewing stand
in the park at the mansions front.
The parade, with Maj Gen. Leonard
Wood, United States army, as its
grand marshal. started from the capi-
tol grounds to move along the avenue
to the White House, where it was to
pass in review. The trumpeter sound

signal was flashed from the White
house that In fifteen minutes the new
ly elected president and commander
in-chief of the armies and navies of
the United States would be ready to
review his troops"
1t was thought that the parade might
lack some of the picturesque features
which particularly appealed to the
people on former occasions. There
were Indians and rough riders here
not only when Roosevelt was inaugu-
rated. but when he went out of Office
and was succeeded by William H.
Taft. The parade. however. in honor
of Mr.. Wilson seemed to be pictur-
esque enough in its features to appeal
to the multitudes. They certainly
made noise enough over it.

SUITABLE AND PRETTY GIFTS
Few Things for Prospective Bride Are
In Better Taste Than the
Easily Made Sachets.

Are any of your friends engaged?
If so, why not make them some pretty
sachets for an engagement gift? They
are always appreciated and can easily
be made. Purchase a quantity of
satin ribbon two inches in width. The
shops offer many bargains in ribbons
at this season. Cut the sachets in
squares, pad them with cotton and
sprinkle with sachet powder. Then
whipstitch the edges together.
Stack a dozen of these together
and tie with baby ribbon. On top
place a fiat bow ornamented with tiny
rosebuds made from ribbon. An
eighth of yard of half-inch ribbon
is required for each rose and they are
formed by swirling the ribbon round
and round a center. Foliage may be
made from green silk to accompany
these roses If desired.
This Is a charming gift for the
graduate. So prepare for June, which
Is not far distant.
