F|NDLOST DIARY
 IF WASHINGTON
Curator Finds Washington S Diary Among Documents
 in State Library

YORK, Pa, Feb. 21.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-Discovery of lost di- | ary kept by George Washington dur ing the last year of his life was an- nounced tonight by George R. Prow- ell, curator and librarian of the His torical Society of York County. While searching through unclassi- fled documents in the library of thel department of state at Washington" Prowen said. another gentleman and myself found the lost diary of Wash ington. written during the time he was president and until his death"
 One of the first entries quoted is that written by Washington on his birthday and in this connection a lit tie known fact is brought to light that in the last year of Washington's life, the people of Virginia observed February II instead of February 22 as the anniversary of his birth.
 Prowell explains this by pointing out that Washington was born in 1732 and it was not until 20 years later that the Gregorian calendar was accepted in England and the United States Washington's birthday, as a result, was recorded in the family Bible as February II, 1732 Gold style), and February II was continued to be ob-
 served in Virginia until 1910.
 The entry of February II, 1799, | read as follows:
 February II, 1799. I went to Alex. andria to the celebration of my birth i day"
 During the spring, Washin\ton be-
 gan to turn his attention to the grow 1 ing crop on his plantations and to fisheries which he owned along the banks of the Potomac These duties, together with the harvesting of crops summer and autumn.
 On July 4, 1799, he celebrated Inde- i pendence Day by attending banquet at Kemps Tavern in Alexandria, giv-
 en in his honor by the citizens of the l town.
 The entire day of July was spent ! in writing his last will, which con
 sisted Of 29 pages of manuscript, all
 of which he wrote himself, affixing

 On December 12, 1799, while riding he caught the cold which resulted, l two days later, in his death. He was not i'll enough the following day, De cember 13, however, to prevent his
 writing in the diary, and he made the l following record:
 Morning, showing and about three inches deep. Wind at northeast and
 mercury at 30. Continued showing until 1 o'clock and about 4, it became perfectly clear, wind in the same place but not hard"
 This was the last entry of the diary and, Prowell said, was the last piece 1 of writing executed by him. He be- came seriously i'll between and 3 ! o'clock the next morning and his death occurred that night.

 Refraining from drafting a national platform, the conference declared for home rule in the organization of state and local committees. These will function in the 1922 elections to elect representatives who will administer government flor the common good and for the protection, prosperity and happiness of the people"

 Regarding Strike

Lewis, president Of the United Mine Workers of America, for four-state joint conference to ne gotiate a wage scale in the central competitive field. comprising the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
 We have well defined ideas as to what We can and are willing to pay out for miners, and day laborers. and conditions under which We are willing to make a new agreement, and we are prepared at any time to discuss these questions collectively with all of the other operators and miners of the cen- tral competitive district, when such meeting has been agreed upon in ac- cordance with hte resolution passed in New York City, March 31, 1920" the reply of the Illinois operators said.
 The New York meeting referred to, it was explained. was the one at which the present wage agreement which expires on March 31, was adopted.
