The Nations Capital

, @Qf1AIoA
AS all the nerves center in the brain, so all the
activities of this nation more and more will center
and find their representation here.
Here will be fought today the great war of the
battlefelds, for democracy.
And here will be fought, tomorrow, the other
war that is coming, the great war for industrial
supremacy throughout the world, one in which
not as enemies, but as brothers, the nations will
compete.
Who would dare set limit to the greatness of
this City, chief among the cities of this Continent,
and greatest among the capitals of the world?
The most conservative mind sees here within
the near future one that in population will be
among the worlds great cities, one that in import
ance, beauty breadth Of plans, and magnficenoe
of construction will be the worlds first city.
Here will reside permanently the earth's
greatest power.
Here will be built the great official palaces in
which the worlds most important work and this
nations full directing will be done. And about
those palaces Of mental power will rise thousands
Washington.
The eyes of the world are turned toward this
city. 1t is the workshop and the brain of the
United States.
The hope Of struggling democracy turns to-
ward the Capitol on the hill
And this is the wish with which men great
and small those newly come to the city and those
long established here, greet 1918 and the Washing
ton of after years.
From here, may the sacred name of Peace
soon be spoken to the world, after complete VIC
tory.
May this City, and every individual that
make up its power, prove worthy of Washing
tons opportunity, greatness and growth
TO the world early and permanent peace.
And to the nation prosperity that justice and
unselflsh devotion deserve.
To the Washington Of yesterday, the greater
Washington of today, and the great Capital City
of tomorrow, life as long and glorious as that of
the nation.
May it be life built upon the rock, upon the
sure foundation Of justice, service, devotion to the
highest ideals in civic life in national life in social
life and in commercial life
To be found worthy, that is the eternal wish.

The Nat
Today begins the most important year in the
life of this great city, Capital of the world greatest
nation.
Washington, as Capital Of the United States,
is chief city Of the powers that for democracy.
Here is situated the Treasury Of the United
States and the treasury Of the world
Here is the law making power that legislates
for hundred millions Of human beings. And
here the guiding mind to which the greatest nation
has confded its welfare and the direction Of its
forces, military, naval, moral.
In Washington the world sees city marvel
GUS in beauty marvellous in growth, unlimited
in its brilliant future.
Those that have known and loved the Wash
ington of old begin to see their expectations realized
in the Washington of today.
To the City Of Washington new city has
come and Washington has received assirnilated
and made that new city its own.
Tens of thousands of thinking, working men,
the chosen among many all over the country, are
here, and new thousands the elite of the nation,
come with each month 1t is literally true that a
city has been added to city in the year that has
just ended.
What this city is destined to be in the future
no man can tell. No cautious mind will set a
limit to the possibilities of city that is the think
ing, controlling community in the worlds great
est nation.
Great and natural national development has
decreed that the power of central government shall
in the immediate future grow to gigantic proper
tons.
This city that is spending billions at home and
railroads of the United States. Every shop that
makes locomotive, every man responsible for
train, every watcher holding his flag at a crossing
thousands of miles away, looks to Washington as
his main office.
Control of railroads that are nations high
ways means the bringing Of thousands Of workers
to this city.
Control of natural resources, the force behind
the railways and behind industry means other

ALUM eLIFF.

Alum Cliff in Saline County on the
Hot Springs side is one of the won
ders l have been hearing of for over
a year, so I was glad of an opportu-
nifty to visit it. 1t is on the Alum
Fork of the Saline river and furnishes
the name for that stream. The bluff
is formed of slate and other rock, in
Guiding small proportion of graph
lite, or black lead The bluff is about
fifty feet high at the most interest
ing point l approached it from the
lower end
The first thing l saw was big
crack from top to bottom in that
end The crack was big enough for
me to crawl into, but | did not know
how far back it extended It is
straight up, even overhanging at
places, I have heard tales of some
wonderful dye rocks which the wom-
en- during the Civil War would rub
together in water and dye cloth a
beautiful red which would not fade.
but | could not find them At a place
where prospectors had been digging
] did find an inch thick vein of pink
or red quartz, tho the earth in be-
tween these rocks was strongly i'm
pregnated with alum, as was also
some of the porous rock Formerly
the water seeping thru these rocks is
said to have left deposits of pure
alum. l found no mineral near them,
but in the surrounding country are
numerous beds o bauxite, quite a
number of which have been sold or
leased to men who are anxious to
get rich quick.
While l have been writing all the
above Jill has kept close to me,
grazing around, showing rather too
much Partially for my grip and the
feed sack at the start, but / have
broke her of that already. The rec
ommendation that decided me in her
favor was that when l wanted to ex-
anime anything she would craze
around until l was ready for her
What l wanted her for in fact was
pack mule and I'only hope that she
will travel fast enough to keep up
with me,

HOWDY Mr.. HOG
GOODBYE Mr.. BEEF
YOUR UNCLE SAM SAYS HE
NEEDS BEEF FOR ALLIED AR
MlES AND ASKS US TO EAT
MORE PORK-WE WILL.

The demand or beef for our Army,
civil populations for this summer are
beyond cur present surplus. On the
other hand, we have enough increased
supply Of pork this summer to permit
economical expansion in its use. 1t
will therefore be a direct service to
our Armies and the Allies if our PEG
pie will in some degree substitute
fresh pork, bacon, ham, and sausage
for beef products.
The Food Administration requests
all hotels and restaurants not to place
on their menus or serve boiled beef
more than two meals weekly, beef
steak more than one meal weekly,
and roast beef more than one meal
weekly 1t asks househo1ders not IN
der any circumstances to buy more
than l IA pounds of clear beef week
ly, or / - pounds, including the
bone, per person in the household.
The public will realize that the
changing conditions of production
from season to season, the changing
situation in shipping, and, therefore,
of the markets available to the Al
lies, and the increasing demand for
our growing Army, with the fiuctuat-
ing supply of local beef in France, All
make it impossible to determine poll
cies for q long period in advance.
The Food Administration has recent
~ asked for economy in all mote con-
sumption; now it emphasizes further
reduction of beef by the substitution
of pork.
