Washington's Birthday

Washington's Birthday gives a
splendid chance to public school
teachers and all instructors OF
young people. They should make
George Washington something more
than dull and shadowy figure of
antiquity. which the children are
forced to learn about in books. They
should bring out all the marvellous
romance of his character.
AS you read over the salient facts
in the story of Washington. it seems
almost as unlikely as the sensation
al stories you find in the old fashion
ed dime novel. For he had to con.
tend with obstacles that seemed so
impossible He had to depend on
a little ragged force of patriots, in
harmonious, quarreling with each
other, The soldiers were often on
the point of quitting and going home.
The country was an impoverish
ed group of frontier settlements.
Congress was cowardly and doubt
fUl of its authority. and failed to
give Washington decent support.
The army officers intrigued against
their leader.
Commanding but rag tag Of an
army, he yet struck a conQueriDe
blow. But most other great mill.
tary leaders could not have done it
They would have lacked his superb
gift for political Cancellation and
organization. Somehow Washing
ton took this impossible situation Of
chaos, and made a conquering army
and a nation out of it.
No other American. not even
Lincoln. ever united all parties tC
the extent that Washington did
J So let his memory be kept alive
! and glowing in the hearts of the
people. He was one of the greaI
men of the world Much of the Sc
curity and prosperity of American
life to- day is due to his genius.

Prices of Live Stock

Higher prices of the crops eaten
by live stock should find their way
into higher prices for livestock
products. Eventually they may.
but there is what the Bureau of
Crop Estimates of the United States
Department of Agriculture calls a
lag" Product prices do not fully
respond at once to advance 10 feed
prices. Such was the situation of
farmers with regard to the prices of
dairy products and other animal
products from 1915 to 1918, and the
lag was heavily felt by farmers
in 1917.
From 1915 10 1915 crop prices
increased Al per cent, from 1915 to
1917 about no per cent. and from
1915 to 1918 about 120 per cent.
During the same time the total
value of animal products on the
farm did not CORRESPONDENCE gain,
although a tendency to oyertake
the lag appeared in 1918.
In the meantime live stock has
increased in number and price. and
enormously in total value. although
not enough to hold its place in the
procession. and it is interesting to
compare the total value of the live
stock itself year by year during the
war. In each OF the three years.
1913-1915, the aggregate value of
live stock products was 65 per cent
of the aggregate value of live stock
The ratio went up to 6S per cent in
1915, made a great advance to Is
per cent 1917, and to 81 per cent in
1918. Live stock value, compound.
ed of increasing number and in
creasing price. Jagged behind the
advancing value of livestock
products.
That there should have been a
lag in the advance of livestock
value. compared with the advance
in the value Of livestock products
is in accordance with experience,
but these products themselves lag
ged in price behind the price of the
crops eaten in their production
Consequently some Improbable
production of animal products may
have accompanied the lag of live
stock value behind valbe of prod
ucts. -
