Inception OF Idea.
The idea Of the memorial had its
inception in the deSire Of the women
who formed the George Washington
Memorial Association to carry out the
wish of George Washington, express
ed in his will. for the establishment
Of an institution to promote the dis
semination Of knowledge. He left a
specific bequest of $4,000 in bonds
for the establishment OF national
university, a bequest that was wiped
out in the reorganization Of the Po-
tomac company.
So many colleges and universities
had sprung up throughout the coun-
that it was felt his Intention would
be better served by the provision of
a great meeting place in the capital
for gatherings of a national and in
ternational character
The site donated by Congress for

the auditorium. Here 1T is planned to
place a gold star for every man in

Walsh. chairman of the forum COM
mittee. spoke from his experience as
former chief counsel Of the Federal
Trade Commission. He said that too
often q lack of knowledge of the diff
culties in big business resulted in turn
ing the public against business policies
and methods which were entirely bene-
fetal.
Henry e. stringer, president Of the
club. said that in his thirty years ex-
perience in buying and selling ne felt
that the crux Of salesmanship could be

PATENT TREATY Revived.
Hughes Instructs Ambassador So
to Inform Germany.

Secretary Hughes has instructed
Ambassador Houghton at Berlin to
notify the German government that
under the terms of the treaty with
Germany the patent convention con-
cluded with Germany in 1903 has been
revived. 49,
Secretary Weeks had opposed the
revival of the patent convention be-
tween this country and Germany on
the ground that Arperican industries
would suffer through allowing for
eigners to hold patent rights which
might not be put in operation. there
by depriving this country Of indus
trial benefit.
The State Department, however, was
understood to take the view that un-
less the convention was revived
American patent rights in Germany
might be jeopardized.

of these changes has been to dimin-
ish the irregularity and uneveness
noted in the movement of industry
during 1921; textiles and allied lines,
which have been far in advance of
others. are losing their relative mo-
mentum.
The evening tendency thus evident
by current ~readjustments is reflected
in the fact that the Boards price in
dex remains unchanged at 1873. Whole
sale and retail trade indexes are dis
posed to show recession of buying in
most parts of the country save for sea-
sonal activity in special lines such as
dry goods. The volume of employ
ment (another important factor in in
fluencing demand for goods) shows but
little modification. AS compared with
last year the volume of building is
very much larger. January permits
being more than double what they
were a year ago.
Financially the month has shown
continued reduction in the volume of
credit required by the community. For
eign exchange has shown a decidedly
stronger tendency, the highest levels

Pupils Eager To Learn In Dist. ~
Many Not Familiar With English

Atlas Crowder, teacher at the Rast
School, in district number II has a
more difficult time than many of his
fellow teachers in the rural district,
because he has to teach many of the
first grade pupils how to speak Eng
lish. With the close cooperation of
the board of trustees and the older
pupils, this task is made reasonably
easy, however.
The Rast school meets with prac-
tically all the important requirements
regarding building, cloak rooms, drain
age, painting, etc. In fact its score is
As out of, a possible "a points. 1t falls
short in the area of window space,
walks in the yard, a we'll kept yard,
play ground apparatus, a flag pole,
mirror and towel racks. These are
being rapidly supplied as the school
district becomes financially able.
The commemorate feature OF the
school is the unusual interest on the
part of the pupils. They are all bright
and eager to learn. Attendance is good
and there is little hardness reported.
The district will soon get a new large
dictionary and erect a flag pole. When
this is done the school will not lack
any OF the essentials in appearance OF
equipment.
The photograph herewith is only one
OF the foul schools in the district.
Others will appear in the Press later.

THE result of the present, financial
system, devised to fit business, not az
lriculture, is that the farmer must Of
ten market under the most unfayor-
able conditions.
Next comes the problems OF mar
keting. One of the biggest things
this government can do, I believe is
to shape up a new and efficient code
or system of marketing its agricultur-
al products. This is in the interest OF
the consumer as much as of the pro-
Queer.
To-day the United States has the
costliest and most inefficient system
Of marketing of any country in the
world.
"That the farm bloc has been able to
get things for which it has fought
have been fundamentally correct.
Among the more notable of these mea-
sures have been:
"1st. The Capper-Volstead cooper
alive marketing bill.
"2nd. The future trading bill, reg
ulating grain exchanges.
"3rd. The revival of the War FL
nance Corporation as an aid to help
ing move farm products.

"4th. Increasing funds available
for loans by the Farm Loan Board by

18Th. Passage by the senate of the
bill giving agricultural a representa-
tive on the Federal Reserve Board.
"The Farm bloc is going to allow
no let up in its activities. There is a
big job ahead, and the biggest PROPOSE
ton is to work out a constructive ma
tional program for agriculture.
"All developments of the past 10
years have shown that conditions are
fundamentally bad with respect to ag-
riculture.
There has been smaller and small
Ter profits for farmers.
Tenancy has steadily increased.
can altogether alarming situation
requires that congress act to put agri-
culture on its feet.
"The bloc has been fighting along
economic, not party lines. It repre-
sents a union of those forces interest
ed in helping agriculture and general
economic conditions regardless of
party affiliations.
II do not believe the bloc will de-
velop any new party alignment. But
1t will hold, on economic questions af-
fecting agriculture, a strong bi-parti-
san following"

BUSINESS, INDUSTRY AND
FINANCE In UNITED STATES
Monthly Summary by Federal Reserve
Board February 2S, 1922.

During the past month improve
ment of conditions in several basic
industries has furnished a more hope
full prospect for the trade of the com
ing months. This better outlook has
in some measure been Offset by labor
and other difficulties in the textile in
dustry, which have resulted in reduced
activity in that branch of business.
Fluctuations in the price of raw ma
terials have subjected the textile trade
to still further difficulty, while in
that, as well as in others, the lack of
forward orders has made it difficult
to plan policies far in advance.
In iron and steel, varying opinions
exist as to the situation and outlook.
1t is to be noted, however, that there
has been distinct increase in the ac-
tivity of the plants of the United
States Steel Corporation, as we'll as
some increase in the activity of in
dependent mills. The net outcome
