and the carcass disposed of through

the farm until the quarantine was
lifted.
As in the case of many tubercu-
lous cattle this particular COW was
in good flesh and apparently as
healthy as any animal in their herd
Cohen in his ignorance regarding the
disease and its pecularities did not

ALFALFA AS A REFRIGERATOR
Planted Around Farm Houses 1t Has
Been Found to Reduce the Tenn
perature Materially.

Refrigerators indoors are common
enough, but it took the farmers In the
Southwest to devise one for outdoor
use.
A farmer who happened to plant a
large field of alfalfa south of the
farmhouse noticed during the hot sum-
mers that followed that his family
did not suffer from the heat as did the
neighbors. The thermometer showed a
temperature five to ten degrees in his
favor
Someone suggested that 1t might be
due to the alfalfa,> tried the tempera-
ture just north of other alfalfa fields
and found the same marked difference.
Now the farmers of that region are
planting alfalfa around their dwell
ings and enjoy summer temperatures
that make trip to the seashore need
less, according to the Golden Age.
The cause of the GOODNESS of winds
passing over alfalfa fields is that the
plant absorbs much moisture, the
evaporation of which reduces the tenn
perature of the air and lessons the
summer heat In the adjoining land
over which it blows.
The suggestion now Is for farmers
that wish to profit from the presence
and the board money Of summer va
cationists to combine the profit and
utility Of alfalfa with higher rates
from hot-weather boarders attracted
by the GOODNESS of the ten-acre refrig
orator around the house.
Little by little men are beginning
to learn how to utilize the means pro
vided by good Creator for their com

SIX a break with England.


In meeting the many problems
which confronted him, Washington
was throughout this period clear
headed, courageous, unyielding cham
pion of good government. Yet even
Washington's courage. tagged at
times. Witness this statement to his
cabinet:
II have never repented letting slip
the moment for resigning my Office
but once, and that has been every mo-
ment since. / had rather be at home
on my farm than be emperor OF the
world and yet they are charging me
with being a king"
At an earlier time he had written,
at is yet to be decided whether the
Revolution must ultimately be consid-
cred as blessing or curse" Doubt
less he often again was skeptical of
its being blessing.
But Washington was not alone
courageous and firm. Then, as now,
the office of president demanded hard,
patient, persevering work, with but
little romance about it. Washington
never shirked. Through it all he was
lenient, conciliatory, patient, modest
in his recommendations, ready to lis
ten to counsel and eager to look for
light.

in the war for independence, that war
could not have been won. Yet, when
Genet, pronounced Zhenay) the
French minister came to the United
States and proceeded to- exceed his
privileges and to try to kick the gov
eminent about like football, Wash
ington dismissed him in way that
could not be misunderstood. At a
time when the most influential part of
the country was with Genet such an
act on the part of the President re-
quired no common courage.
Again, in the face of clamor for war
with England, in face of passionate
insult, he not only refused to let the
nation commit suicide by joining with
France, but sent John Jay, then
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
to England to make new treaty
with that country. Jay, who was con-
descendingly smiled upon by the king,
kissed the queens hand and sent home
a poor treaty-not because he was
glad to do either, but because he could
do nothing else. While Jay was be-
ing hanged and burned in effigy and
damned vocally and editorially, Wash
ington stood firmly for ratification of
the treaty, evidently believing that at
such time we could better accept a
poor treaty and brook insult than to

A TRIBUTE TO WASHINGTON
Continued from page u


other, the feeling of local attachment
was much stronger in the people than
was their devotion to the nation, an
enormous war debt and an empty
treasury stared the nation in the face,
the new government was not respect
ed abroad. France was in the throes
of a revolution which brought with it
social chaos and the downfall of the
last of the Louies, England and
France were virtually at war and
France was pressing for assistance
from the United States, the West was
FESTIVE and belligerent, the Indians
were harrassing our frontiers, the
country was practically without an
army, and political factions were
quarreling bitterly.
The scope of this article does not
permit complete revelation of the
complex difficulties which confronted
Washington during his seven years of
military leadership and his eight
years of service as President. have
merely named some of these difficult
les. 1t is not surprising that in meet
ing some Of these problems Washing
ton and Hamilton and the other men
who stood with them in placing the
nation on sound political end finan-
cial basis stirred up unreasonable an
imosities. 1t is not surprising that
those who opposed the President and
his helpers should heap upon them
bitter abuse. However, SO superficial
is our knowledge of our nations his
tory, and so accustomed are we to
hearing Washington lauded that we
fail to realize that he had many, many
enemies or that they were blind and
bitter enough to write such editorials
as the following, which appeared in
enc of the fractional papers when
Washington left Office:
"The man who is the source of
all the misfortunes of our coun-
try is this day reduced to a level
with his fellow-citizens and is no
longer possessed of power to null
tiply evils upon the United States.
If ever there was a period for re-,
joicing this is the moment. Ev-
cry heart . ought to
beat high with exultation that
from this day the name of Wash
ington ceases to give currency to
political iniquity and to legalize
corruption"
Another wrote:
eff ever a nation was debauched
the American nation has been de-
bauched by Washington. If ever
a nation was deceived the Ameri-
can nation has been deceived by
Washington. Let his conduct then

be an example to future ages, let
it serve to be warning that no
man may be an idol, let the his
tory of the Federal government
instruct mankind that the mask
of patriotism may be worn Co
conceal the foulest designs
against the liberties of the peo-
pie"
How warped and strange these BIZ
ased, partisan words now appear!
And it may not be amiss to wonder if
the future will not look with as much
pity and disdain upon some of our
present-day diatribes as we look upon
these that were hurled against Wash
ington. Time is truly great sitter
and purger and wonderfully clarity
ing to vision.
Neither do we appreciate the fair
ness, the firmness and the courage of
Washington in dealing with trouble
some factions at home and abroad. He
realized. as few others did, that his
paramount task was to establish in
the nation a strong centralized gov
eminent. In a day of revolution and
idealistic creations of government we
see his firm hand steering the craft
of state away from the maelstrom
that engulfed Europe for a half CEN
fury. He syn1pathized with the
French; he was not blind to the fact
