league, painted any WORD pictures of
the oppression practiced upon the
farmers by big business and Of
fered practically nothing of a con-
structive nature that might reason
ably be expected to combat these
evils. The farmer has been told
these same things many times before,
he believes they exist and so does
everybody else. That there are many
factors between the producer of
life's necessities and the cosumcr
that are oppressive and should be
controlled is common belief We
know these things and what We
want to be told today is. not that
they exist. but how to cambat them
and to combat them in the interest
OF all instead of class. The non
partisan league claims it has the
remedy, and on the strength of this
many farmers all over the country
have Joined up, and it is this phase
of the question upon which we seek
enlightenment
The league has nominated a state
ticket and drafted platform the
nominees will be voted upon at the

people who attended the meeting

the fun workings, in minute detail,
OF the proposed non-p partisan plat
form. All they heard regarded an
Oppressive system which they have
known existed and which they have
unwillinsly supported Ior years.

Once upon time, in a CAV when

the country family of grasshoppers
and family of ants. some authori.
ties incline to the belief that the
grasshoprers We're addicted to the
jazz dance and the fiddle, pu, one
lie at liberty to doubt this. The
srasshoppers were Industrious. They
worked in the field side by s4de with
the ants, and they wore good clothes
and chewed good tobacco
In those days, as now, the first
impulse or instinct Of mortal or in
sect was to fill his stomach. II men
could eat without working few
would work. The grasshoppers
worked diligently at the task of
gathering herbs and grains, but as
fast as they gathered they consumed
so that the setting sun found them
none the richer save for a comfort
able fullness about the middle.
The ants did not neglect the bust
ness of eating. They Jared we'll. but
they had the savings-ba habit and
they did not wear silk shirts while
performing tasks that suggested
overalls.
The grasshoppers called the ants
tghtwads. They did not use this
expression in the presence Of the ants.

Mr.. Putnam's personal inspection con-
firmed this dismal report.
Then came long and trying negotla-
tons. The department of state offered
to restore the Washington will as it
had restored the Declaration of indie
pendence, if the document were
brought to the District of Columbia.
The Fairfax officials, backed by the
courts, decided that this was lmpoS-
sible; that an act of the Virginia gen
eral assembly would be necessary to
enable them to consent to even tenn
porary removal.
Finally in 1916 Librarian PutnAm
and Gaillard Hunt, chief of the dlvl-
sion of manuscripts, hit upon a def
mite solution of the difficulty. In
charge of the repair section OF the
manuscript division is William Ber-
wick, said to be the greatest living
expert in the restoration of old manu-
scripts. The Fairfax people, supported
by Lawrence Washington and other
connections of the first presidents
family, concurred in the suggestion
that the will should be restored at the
courthouse by Or" Berwick.
With infinite patience, with expert
knowledge and profound sense of the
importance of the patriotic undertake
ing, CDR" Berwick began his surgery.
One by one the twenty-five sheets
were separated and treated. The in
.struments employed were very thin,
keen knives, camel's-hair brushes, the
inevitable paste pot metal tank for
soaking the pages, press, and last
and most important of all, the gauZe
or crepeline with which the mendlng
is made secure and a new or tougher
surface page obtained.
This gauze, an exquiSitely fine tex
ture of silk and linen, is extremely
| fiimsy to look at and demands the
most delicate handling. but once ap-
piled over and beneath page of
writing or printing 1t renders it prac-
tically untearable. Properly laid on ii
becomes so absorbed In the paper that
| it is hardly visible except under a
magnifying glass. Consequently the re-
newed manuscript can be read as east
| ly as if no additional substance had
been used on it.
After the countless holes and tears
had been filled the pages were soaked
and pressed into perfect smoothness,
delicate knives were employed to
scrape away stains and foreign parti-
cles and finally the crepeline applied.
The library of congress staff con-
siders that Mr.. Berwick accomplished
nearly the impossible and worked al
most miracle in the complete res
toration he effected. The authorities
of Fairfax county, as evidence of APP
probation of his work, had embossed
| in gold letters on the black morocco
cover which now encases the will,

"Appian Way" Was Ancient
Rome's Main Thoroughfare
and Fashionable Promenade

The Broadway of ancient Rome was
in it's time not less famous than the
principal thorous kfare of New York.
1t was called the "Appian Way" and
along it flowed all that was most in
teresting and picturesque in the life
of the imperial city. Thronged by
chariots and the vehicles of fashion, IL
was the favorite promenade of the
idle rich. Over it's smooth pavement
successful generals, to whom had oeen
granted the proud privilege of tri-
umph. led their returning armies, with
hosts of unhappy prisoners of war.
The Via Appia, however, was much
more than a city street. 1t was the
metropolitan terminus of one of the
great RomadNmilitary roads. Begun in
312 B. c., it ran through one of the
great city gates outward to Lower
Italy-to. Capua, Tartentum and
beyond. One mile beyond the gate
was the magnificent Temple of Mars.
Along the thoroughfare today are
ruins of once beautiful buildings that
resemble those of Northern France
and Belgium. And no wonder, mas
much as their destruction was wrought
by barbarians who were the ancestors
of the present day Germans. But the
great road, like others of Roman orr
gin, extending over most of Europe,
remains a wonderful monument to a
bygone civilization.

AMERICAN !
PHYSIQUE
Records show Yankee army
better physically than
any ether army.

Every now and then somebody comes
along with something like this which
is taken from the columns Of one of
the best-known American newspapers
Because the American girl doesn't
eat enough, because she doesn't guard
her health, because she doesn't get
sufficient exercise, because she is be-
low the physical standard, she is to
blame, when she becomes the Ameri-
can mother, for the faulty rearing of
the babies of the nation, she is to
blame for the lack of strength and
vitality of the youth of the nation;
the generation which preceded her is
to blame for the bodily unfitness of
one of every four men called for serv-
ice in the nations armies"
1t may be true, observes a writer in
the Charleston News and Courier,
that one out of every four men called
for service in the war was rejected be-
cause of bodily unfitness but thai was
because America, having an almost I'M
limited number of men, was able 10 set
the military physical standards very
high and still get more soldiers than
she needed. The American army was
far away better physically than any
other army; and after what America
did in the war; it would be very hard
to persuade any European, especially
any German who served on the west
ern front, that the physique of this
nation is inferior.

far as may be, against time itself,
since they rest in hermetically-sealed
steel cases sunk in concrete and vel
vet curtains shut out the destructive
light rays from the pages of the wills
exposed through glass to the public
view.
What more natural, inasmuch AS
these wills are priceless national dOcu-
ments and Mount Vernon is in Fairfax
county?
Nevertheless, 1t was not always
thus. Hence this story of the wills
of the Washingtons."
George Washington's will was sign
ed at Mount Vernon July 9, 1899, five
months before his death. 1t is in his
own handsome, fluent handwriting. 1t
was filed for probate in 1900 in the
Fairfax courthouse 1t consists of %
sheets about the size of foolscap, writ
ten on both sides.
Through all of a century he who
ran so far as Fairfax courthouse
might read at his leisure and with his
own hands manipulate the original
socument and at his pleasure thumb
and tumble it.
AT the beginning of the Civil war
the will was taken to Richmond, and
there securely hidden. 1t was returned
to Fairfax courthouse when peace had
been restored. The years did not tend
to it's preservation. It's custodians
added to its peril of complete oblitera-
ton by persistently folding it length
wise, following the original fold of the
clerk of 1900.
In time the pages cracked and di
vided along the lines of the creasing
Then some past and gone official un
dertook to repair the damage and pre-
vent extension of it, Bits of glued pa
per and. court plaster were put across
the torn creases. As the years went
by these patches themselves split
leaving the pages again to fall apart
Nthrough the center.
Court auth4ities then decided thai
the broken pKrts should be sewn to
lgether. This. Rough and ready surgery
was applied.
\ So gradually the manuscript wen
from ba 10 worse until most of its
42 pags |ere in deplorable condition
hpd-fn1ch of the beautifully writer
text was practically illegible. In 1917
H&rbert Putnam. librarian of congress
asked the Fairfax county authorize:

OLD TUNES

AS the strata of perfume, heliotrope, rose,
Float in the garden when no WIND blows,
Come to us, go from US, whence no one
knows;
So the old tunes float, in my mind,
And go from me, leaving no trace behind,
Like perfume borne on the hush of the
wind.
But in the instant the airs remain
/ know the laughter and the pain
OF times that will not come again;
try to catch at many tune
Like petals of light fallen from the moon,
Broken and bright on dark lagoon.
But they float away-for who can hold
youth, or perfume, or the moons gold?
