THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER AND THE MODERN HOUsEWI
THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

had one colored waiter for our ta-
bles-a boy that wa raised by the
Lee family of Arlington. He would
watch for the train that brought us
from the southland generally would
n eet us at the hotel office to carry
up bags and overcoats, etc,
The price was two hundred dollars
month-for our sitting room, bed
room and meals-and We generally
found our regular rooms waiting for
us when we arrived.
From the beginning Of congress in
December, until cold weather was
over, there was a weekly hop in the
spacious double parlors, with a string
band, and the folks could get UP
dance any time, some willing piano
player would play music for them.
When any of us were sick the meals
were brought up by our faithful
waiter-without extra charge-and
everybody said it was the place to
feel welcome and feel at home"
have been shown the room, &C.
cupied by Wilks Booth the night
before he shot Mr.. Lincoln in Ford's
theater. When the streets were
thronged with the angry mob seeking
Booth, they crowded the old hotel and
searched for him. An aged Irish
there in 1865, and still employed
when I was there-often talked of
that awful highland the rush OF
the angry mob to find Booth. She
said there was no sleep that night.
and Pennsylvania avenue was throng-
ed with shouting angry men. There
was breakfast room, lunch room,
the big 5 o'clock dining hall, and
then the cozy tea room in the eve-
ming. The house was rebuilt in 1927
and had three sides--on B. street,
Pennsylvania avenue and Sixth street
with inside galleries all around
except on the topmost floor.
1t was a great place for children
and inValidS to exercise when the
weather was severe on the outside
for these galleries were enclosed with
glass.
The hotel was a most prominent
and accessible location and in very
late years was mainly occupied by
commercial people-and tourists that
came in large companies but it held
it's own-with palatial modern hotels
for half century of active service.
The fire is described as an I'M
mense conflagration. The ruins must
be touching sight to thousands of
Westinghouse who were always at
tached to the great big old hotel
with it's cozy ways and many home
like features. l saw it last in 1919
and then it looked as substantial as
ever. sF
The Calverts who owned the ground
were ljneal descendants of Lord Bal
timore. 1t was a paying investment
when ! first became acquainted with
it, in the year 1875. If those old
walls could speak the story of our
history from Thos. Jefferson to War
rem Harding, would be interesting to
Nthe people of the United States.
1t had seen Washington grow out
Of a marshy swamp-into a great
city-and the people who went in and
out of its doors--were the founders
of the greatest republic known to
the world.
This old landmark will he missed
There are tens Of thousan Is of living
men and women, who have keen re-
membrance and pleasure--closely af-
filiated with it's existence, and many
people of this country made their
mark in the nations history-who
have gone on to their reward.

Cereal Production In the South
If the advent of the boil weevil
has taught us anything it is the
Eecessityl for further diverSification.
We are all lamenting the shortneSS
of the present cotton crop. 1t GER
tainly constitutes a great misfortune
to our farmers. Those whose minds
are easily affected by unfavorable
conditions believe that we must now
abandon the growth of cotton. They
rave allowed their pessimism to run
away with their Judgment. Never
theleSS, while not subscribing to this
doctrine. 1t is clear that. the cost of
cotton production will be increased
in the future and that the raising
of profitable crops will be a much
more difficult undertaking in the fu-
ture than it has been in the past.
1t is also evident that to make up.
for the losses which our agriculture
VIII. sustain by reason of this fact
we must raise all the other classes
and types of food we need, at least
Tor home consumption, There is no
reason in the world why we should
rot produce enough of the basic crops
to provide large quantity for ex-
portation to other and less favored
sections than our own.
What Is to be gained through fur
Their diversification? The records
seem to in dictate that we are import
ing into Georgia from $10o, 200, 0O0. 90
to s150.000,000.O worth of food and
feed crops year for man and beast.
This represents more than the loss
we have suffered through boil Wee
vii depredations. Even granting that
the boil weevil has reduced our crop
by one million bales. and this I do
not admit. our losses would be ap-
proximately $100,000,00 or $685.
900, 10000 with cotton and cotton seed
at present prices. We have a way
out of our present difficulties, there
fore, which Is easy to follow. 1t
represents one Of those great COM
pensating influences or opportunities
which nature always provides for
those upon whom she temporarily
lays q heavy hand.
What we need to do under existing
circumstances Is to view the future
with optimism and with courage and
energy. DO the thing which lies
nearest to thy hand and thou shalt
prosper, is very good text with
which to meet the present emergen-
cy. Let us not be downcast or lose
heart. We are called on only to
change our practice, to institute new
methods. We have to make no such
sacrifice as yet as the soldiers who
fought for us in the last World war
were called on to make. We are not
asked to face death or to give our
lives on the altar of our country.
We are simply asked to use curl
brain power a little more effectively
to throw off inertia and sluggishness
and, to face the issues of the moment
from new point of view. We have |
the basic data and information on
which to predicate essential changes
in our agricultural practice which |
will insure a greater degree Of pros |
perity to our people and the develop |
ment of much more permanent and |
desirable type of agricultural prac- |
tice than we have ever followed in |
the past. Again I say that all we |
need is optimism, courage, energy !
and industry to solve the issues of |
the moment and to get back to nor

handled with kid gloves and to pose
for her picture by flashlight, when
in reality her information had been
treated very shabbily in her own
opinion. Therefore, it was with scant

at this stranger.

and showing rather beautiful white

''There she u.s." said Mrs. Howard,
pointing with long glistening fork

The fork dropped from Mrs. How

from it's prongs as it fell. Sadie,
flushed and embarrassed, was on

with the colony at Massachusetts
Bay. This was sung in unison, I'M
accompanied, by volunteer choir
in which were members of the sum-
mer colony at Bluehill. After this
rendering, there was another to il
lustrate the manner in which must
cal amateurs sang the psalms in the
18th century, the melody in tenor
and three harmony voices added
above and below in counterpart.
This was sung by the quartet choir
of the Baptist church, composed of
Mr.. and Mrs. Linscott, Mrs. Twin
ing and Judge F. B Snow
The three addresses were devoted
to the purposed lessons of the cele-
bration. DR.. Martin spoke on 1.-THE
Sheaves of Religious Liberty" DR..
Political Liberty" and H. e. Kreh-
biel on 1.-THE Sheaves of Culture and
Art" DR.. Martin pointed out that
liberty in religious thought and wor-
ship, planted by the Pilgrims in the
new world, had sprouted when the
bible was translated into the Ian
guages understood by the people,
and argued with great earnestness
that liberty, to be enjoyed, must be
shared, not boarded. His final ap-
peal, based on Bradfords statement
of one of the reasons for the exodus
of the Pilgrims from free Holland,
was for the preservation of piety
and purity in the home life.
DR.. Fowler's observations were di-
rected to the establishment of the
principle of political and social
equality by the signing of the IA
nous Compact" by the passengers
of the Mayflower when disorder was
threatened by certain unruly ele-
ments among the passengers.
Mr.. Krehbiel spoke of the reasons
why music had, from the most prim-
tive times, been the handmaiden Of
religion; showed how religion, while
it's creator, had been it's conservator
and restricter; how rebellion against
ritual had begotten freedom Of indi-
vidual and congregational worship,
but had, in turn, brought about the
conservatism exemplified in a hard
and fast psalmody among the Puri-
tans. The spirit of freedom had,
however, inspired the cultured ele-
ment among them so powerfully,
that freedom of the hymn singing
and desire for beauty had mani
tested itself in New England within
fifty years of the landing of the Pill
grims, and spread so potently that
New England led the world in the
establishment of amateur singing
societies.
