CHOICE OF BUT TEN STATES.

New York state had no part in the election of
the first president of the United States. For some
years following the establishment of the federal
government the legislatures Of most of the states
chose the presidential electors the people voting
for them only indirectly, their choice being ex-
pressed by their votes for legislators. A deadlock
between the senate and the assembly prevented
the selection of electors from New York state.
Rhode Island and North Carolina had not yet
ratified the Constitution, Washington was
elected the first time by the votes of only ten of
the Is states.
New York city was the scene of the first inaugu-
ration however. Washington took the oath on
the portico of Federal hail. the present site Of
the subtreasury at Wall and Nassau streets, April
80, 1885, Immediately following this ceremony he
retired within the building and delivered an ad.
dress to congress, which met in Federal hall in
those days. John Adams, the second president,
also addressed congress in person, but Jefferson
broke the custom which President Wilson has re-
vived Jefferson stigmatized that form of address
as monarchical and put his message in writing

TENDER %, 1900. This will is not nearly so long
nor SO involved as that of General Washington.
1t probated In 1902 by George Washington
Parke GUSTS and Thomas Peter, two of the execu-
tors. 1t was taken up with the disposition OF
household effects and provisions for the education
Of her relatives Three granddaughter, four
nieces, her grandson, four nephews, grandniece
and other distant relatives and friends are men
toned. To them she gave paintings, town lots
and to nearly all of them she gave from five to
ten guineas with which to buy rings.
One of the odd provisions was: ut is my will
and desire that Ann Mariah Washington, daughter
of my niece, be put into handsome mourning at
my death at the expense Of my estate and be-
queath to her ten guineas to buy a ring"
Another unusual order reads: "It is my will
and desire that all of the wine in bottles in the
vaults be equally divided between my grand
daughters and grandson, to each of whom
bequeath ten guineas to buy ring for EACH"
All of the family pictures except a few spe-
officially mentioned, left to George Washing
ton Parke GUSTS, and to him went large collec-
ton of household furnishings, including beds,
water coolers, china and furniture. Special pro-
vision was made for the education of three neph-
ews, who were to be fitted in "some useful
trade" and she made a further provision that
100 pounds be given to each to set him up in his
trade.
The beated return of these two famous docu-
ments so essentially personal and human IN their
contents to the little courthouse where they were
both filed for probate over a century ago has
made of Fairfax Court House another Mecca for
the history-loving tourist and it is rapidly falling
into line after Mount Vernon and Alexandria in
point of popularity.

BUILT FROM HIS OWN PLANS.

At the late date of 1927 wish expressed by
George Washington in his will was obeyed. He
had called attention to his selection of spot for
a tomb for himself and family and those Of
the family already buried in the old vault The
old tomb disadvantageousy situated on the
side Of a hill which subject to landslides.
For the new vault he specified not only the spot,
but also dimensions and materials. According to
these, his own plans tomb built, and his
and Mrs. Washingtons bodies were transferred
to it, along with the remains in the old vault of
other members of the family. The latter were
buried within the vault out of sight, while the
bodies of General and Mrs. Washington are in
stone collins above the ground, within plain view
between grated iron doorway.

ucatonal opportunities for farmers are
the concern Of the Government and
appreciation is shown by the number Of
farmers who attend the free courses.
Agriculture In Canada has reached q
high standard, Notwithstanding which
lands are low in price.
Thus upon the United States and
Canada for many years will rest the
great burden of feeding the world.
With free interchange Of travel, diff
culties Of crossing and recrossing re-
moved. Canada may look for a speedy
resumption of the large influx of set
tiers from the United States which pre-
vailed previous to the war. During
the war period there was dread OF
something, no one seemed to know
what: If the American went to Canada
he might be conscripted, put in prison,
or in his attempt to cross the border he
would meet with innumerable difficult
ties, most of which, of course, was I'M
true. These untruths were circulated
for purpose by an element, which, ii
was discovered had an interest In TO-
menting and creating trouble and dis
trust between two peoples whose Ian
guage and aims in life should be any
thing but of an unfriendly character.
The draft law of the United States
adopted for the carrying out of the
high purposes had in view by the Unit
ed States kept many from going to
Canada during the period of the war.
The citizen army of the United States
was quickly modified, and contained
Il large percentage of the young men
from the farms. In this way many
were prevented from going to Canada.
That is all over now. There are no
real or imaginary restrictions; there is
no draft law to interfere. On the con-
trary there is an unfathomable depth
Of good feeling, and the long existing
friendship Is stronger than ever. This
has been brought about by the knowl-
edge of what has been done in the re-
cent great struggle, each vying with
the other In giving credit for what was
accomplished. In thought and feeling,
in language, In aims in life, in work,
in desire to build up new world,
there has been bred kinship which is
as indissoluble as time itself.-Adver-
tisement.

premature obituary of the league of

statement issued Sunday night by
Sen. Borah. republican. of Idaho
The senator also charged that the

confession by the authors of the
league that the league means
neither peace nor disarmament?

"A short time before the presi-
dent left for Europe he said:

Upon another occasion after the
president had most earnestly de-
nounced such alliances as being the
authors Of the war and the intoler-
able conditions in Europe. he used
this language: The United States

This alliance is the premature
obituary OF the league Of nations

PLANTATION OF this situation is this.
that Clemenceau demanded the spe-
ciai alliance as "A consideration for

Seeing 1t Through.

TN THE STATE OF GEORGIA in recent years many
farmers have made up their minds to diversity crops
and for one year have put in of something else
and had bad market year bad crop year for It, ana
then given it up to go back to cotton
For several years peanuts have been planted as a
money crop in sections of South Georgia. but 1918
encouraged of these planters to go back to
cotton and the 1919 crop of cotton in that section was
DESTROYED by the boil weev while peanuts were fine and
sold as high as $4,000 per ton.
The peach growers of Middle Georgia have orchards
of several varieties of peaches and each year some one
variety will fail produce but the other two or
three varieties will make good. Thus they accept the
wisdom of the saying that it is dangerous to carry all
your eggs in basket"
The Moutrie Observer very clearly points out the
fault in the following paragraph:
1.-The trouble with diversified farming is that you
cannot get stand by it long enough to try 1t
out thoroughly Those who tried velvet beans one year
and quit made mistake. Beans are bringing a good
price this fall Those who tried peanuts one year and
quit found that they quit peanuts at the wrong time and
turned back to cotton the wrong time. The to
diversity successfully is to plan percentage of the farm
for the various crops each year. and then stand by It,
Some of the crops will be having bad every
but others will be making good at the same time and
fair average will be held"
