Mr.. Joseph /. Keefer developed
some curious information on the an

IN an address which he delivered before

Grams, at Washington, Mr. Keefer de-
clafed that President Washington's

Washen. In 1860 when John Washen.
President Washington's great-grand-
father, sailed from the north OF Eng.
land for the colonies and settled for
a new life at place called Pops, near
Colonial Beach, he revised his plebian
name of Washen for the more aristo-
cratic Washington. FIR. Keefer gave
a sketch OF the deep researches which
led him backward over the branches
OF the Washen family tree for more
than so generations, until he located
the original Washen at Cave Castle.

TRUCK GARDENING

THESE. AS WELL AS OTHER
MIXED FARMING BRANCHES,
PAY IN WESTERN CANADA.

Truck gardening and poultry grow.
ing are two branches OF agriculture
in which the farmers near the main
lines of the three transcontinental
lines traversing Western Canada are
much concerned. The abundance OF
sunshine during the long days from
May to September. and adequate mois'
ture in the spring and early summer
permit of a wide variety of crops. The
soil is rich and warm and is easily
worked. Close attention to cultiva
ton has resulted In record yields OF
all sorts of vegetable and small fruits
which bring good prices in the cities
and at the numerous railway construc.
ton camps.
Mr.. Harris Oium, an Alberta farmer
came from South Dakota eleven years
ago and homesteaded the first 100
acres in his township in 1902, which
was divided between grain and pas

Mr.. Oium markets from 100 to 125
hogs and a similar number of beet
cattle each year. He has 200 hogs,
mostly pure bred Poland China, %

FIRST OF AMERICANS

Washington's Countrymen Will
Be Confirmed by History.
HIS HIGH RANK AS STATESMAN
Far-Seeing Mind Perceived the Flu

Done 80 Much to Create
Loved and Trusted a.
He Deserved. :.

Once more, what is 1t to be an
American? Putting aside all the out.
er shows of dress and manners. so
cial customs and physical peculiari-
ties. is it not to believe in America
and in the American people? Is 1t
not to have an abiding and moving
faith in the future and in the destiny
OF America? Something. above and
beyond the patriotism and love which
every man whose soul is not dead
within him feels for the land of his
birth. Is 1t not to be national and not
sectional; independent and not colo
NAL? Is 1t not to have a higher con-
ception Of what this great new coun.
try should be, and to follow out that
ideal with loyalty and truth? Has
any man in our history fulfilled these
conditions more perfectly and com
pletely than George Washington? Has
any man ever lived who served the
American people more faithfully. or
with higher and truer conception of
the destiny and possibilities OF the
country?
He was the first to rise above all
colonial or state lines and grasp
firmly the conception of a nation to
be formed from the thirteen Earring
colonies. The necessity of national
action In the army was at once ap-
parent to him, although not to 9TH

views into widely distant fields. where
at the time they wholly escaped no.

by a thousand cares, who. In the
early days of the Revolution. saw the
cases. and for other purposes. 1t was
he who suggested this scheme, years
before anyone even dreamed OF the
Constitution; and from the special
committees OF congress, formed for
this object In accordance with this
advice, came, in the process Of time.
the federal judiciary Of the United
States Even In the early dawn of
the Revolution, Washington had clear
in his own mind the need OF a CONT
finance and law, and he worked stead
lily to bring this policy to fulfillment.
There must have been something
very impressive about a man. who,
with no pretensions to the art of the
orator and with no touch of the char
latan could so move and affect vast
bodies of men by his presence alone.
But the people, with the keen eye Of
affection, looked beyond the mere
outward nobility Of form. They saw
the soldier who had given them vic,
tory the great statesman who had led
them out OF confusion and faction to
order and good government. Party
newspapers might rave, but the In.
stinct of the people was never at
fault. They loved, trusted and well.
