HONOR GOES TO JAMESTOWN
WrglnIan City Was the Scene OF the
First Representative Assembly
In the United States.

The Pilgrims have been referred to
as the virtual founders Of this nation
In the sense that they first proclaimed
the principles upon which our gov
ernment Is based. Woodrow Wilson,
in his "History Of the American
People," speaking Of the Virginian
assembly which met in the chancel of
the church at Jamestown July 30.
1919, says:
1--WE look back with some emotion
upon It as the first representative
assembly In America, as to the be-
ginning Of liberty and self-government
in the English colonies; but the colo
nists themselves seem to have taken
it very quietly, as If they had expect
ed It and looked upon 1t as matter
Of course In the circumstances"
In the year before Sir George
Yeardley had brought from England
a document which Vlrgnians were
henceforth to regard as the Great
Charter Of their liberties, "a docu-
ment which made Of their colony q
little commonwealth"
So the jamestown colony was the
first to have an assembly and q writ
ten constitution, and 1t also was the
first to have "trial by jury, an en-
dowed college. q schoolhouse. school
for Indians, q minister, q church, to
have a marriage ceremony. Thanks

courthouse, q post Office, a Masonic
temple, and was the first to Christian

points out.

HISTORIC HOUSE IN MARKET

On Thanksgiving day there was Of
fered at auction In London the Shake

beautiful specimen Of Fourteenth cen

been the main resort Of Americans
and other tourists to Stratford-on'

The history of Stratford-on-Avon

1000 years, and as the birthplace CT

Shakespeare was born; Shottery, where
he courted Anne Hathaway; Charlotte
Park, once the seat Of Sir Thomas
Lucy, whose displeasure Shakespeare
incurred by stealing his deer; the
Shakespeare Memorial theater, on the
banks of the Avon, and Shakespeare's
monument, are all places worthy OF
visiting in the old market town OF
Stratford-on-Avon.
The Shakespeare hotel. situated Id

MUST PAY TRIBUTE TO ART
Not In Admiration, But In Current
Coin, 10 the Edict Of the French
Authorities.

After all these years OF luxurlous
tdleness the Venus de Milo must be-
come a wage Garner. The authorities
Of France have so decreed. And not
only Venus, but Mona Lisa and all the
other celebrities gathered IN the
Louvre, and in the Luxembourg ana
other galleries as well. For the nat
has gone forth recently that hereafter
those who have been accustomed to
visit the museums Of Paris day after
day. finding their treasures free as
air, must pay an, admission fee. II
you want to go to admire Venus In her
crimson velvet seclusion you must pay
for the privilege. To be sure, she Is
worth any price, you must admit. And
when you 60 into the Salon Carre OF
the Louvre and stop to mediate about
what the enigmatical Mona Lisa Is
meditating, you must pay for that, TOO.
Not separate admission for each de-
partment. No. they are all banded to-
gether in one big union, as 1t were
all those priceless treasures OF eacn
museum, and hereafter they Will earn
their keep.

High Freight Rates, Etc.

High freight rates mean narrower
distribution and, coupled with large
crops, mean low prices. Freight rates
now are so high that Maine has not beer
able to compete for potato seed business
in Texas and other parts of the South
Texas farmers paid good price for theil
seed this year, about IS per sack, bu'
the freight from AroostoOk to Texas ID
now $3.50 q barrel. This leaves the
grower 81 81, sacked and loaded, for 1876
pound sack. feel that the railroads are
finding that In raising their rates 80 high
they have skilled the goose that laid the
golden egg" for what is true Of potatoes
10 equally true of other farm products
and the railroad tonnage 10 falling of
very fast.
Large crops and low prices make the
Standardization ST of grades very important
Under the present system OF marketing
potatoes are sold at delivered prices
This means, under conditions which have
existed most of this year, that our pota
toes arrive on lower market than that
ON which they were sold. The buyer nat
urally tries to find fault with the stock
so that he will not have to take the ship
mept, and this is why the standardiza
tion of grades 10 80 important. Previous
to the establishing Of grades by the Bu
reau of Markets 1t was always hard tC
define what constituted q good delivery
but since the establishment Of the U. s
grades aud the inspection service, the
grades are defined, and In case OF q dis
pute, q government inspection soon set
ties the matter.
Careful grading Is important because
1t 10 not good business to pay big freight
rates on poor stock. This year the grad
ing has been done better than usual, anG
this is one of the factors that lead to the
belief that stocks Of potatoes on hand al
present are not as large as the crop re-
port would indicate. The other factors
are the unusual shrink, due to the prev
alence of the late blight disease last year
In Maine. New York and Penney lvania
the feeding of potatoes to live stosk, due
to the low prices, and the large con
sumption, also due to low prices.
There have been about $4,000 cars
more potatoes shipped up to March 10
this year, than there were last year, ano
this, in my opinion, represents only
small part of the actual increased CON
sumption. Only about one-third of any
potato crop moves to the market In cars
and this year the large increase In yielo
was in Michigan, New York and Penn
sylvania, points which are near the cen
ters of population. Therefore, large
percentage of this crop is moved direo
from the farms by teams or trucks. II
