Morning Glory City:
A good many small towns have be-
come large cities through some dis
tinctve discovery or venture - q
boom due to some one enterprise or
another. Other towns have become
famous through mines mineral
springs, etc. People from all over
hear of this due TO advertising
through the medium of print, or
through the travelling public. The
latter mention anything that has
some distinction to it and take special
pains in telling about anything of
conspicuous nature, etc.
My proposal is this: Everybody
in and around Anna sow some morn
ing glories, all over the city, along
the fences and along the roads lead
ing into the city, and at every house
where there is room to sow some.
The morning glory, as everyone
knows, has no equal in it's nature and
will grow almost anywhere. 1t
needs very little care or cultivation
and the seeds that drop on the
ground in the fall come up again in
the spring without looking after
them. Anybody can SOW them. The
lseeds should be sown about an inch
'apart and 4 to y inch deep.
No need going into detail telling
how this would advertise Alma from
coast 10 coast, in every state. The
travelling public would mention it
wherever the people 90 There is
no question but what it will bring a
lot of people to our city as visitors,
and many will come to live here, as
.hings Of less interest than that have
made people move to town and be-
come permanent citizens Of the town.
Besides it will be pleasant for all of
US to look at these morning glories.
! hope everybody is enough inter-
ested in our city to do this. and to
let the outside people know we can
feather our own nest. In place of
moving from the town to another

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XLI.-WASHINCTON
T TIE story
! ! !. ] !: !. !. ]. !. !
AMESSM j of Wash
R.l Nm for ty-second
VE S1 |SB state of the
Nh ~ HI Union, is tied
NdSs8oy<W up with two
tlNS of our presi-
dents. The first is obvious, for
Ii was in honor OF our first presi-
dent, George Washington, that
the state was named, as a last
ing memorial To this great SOL
dier-statesman. But the actual
fate OF this region was due To
President Polk, and formed the
main issue in his campaign for
election in 1914.
Previous To that time, the
country north of California and
extending TO Alaska, which was
then owned by Russia, was called
the Oregon territory. Claim was
laid to this region by both Great
Britain and the United States as
has been seen in the story of
Oregon. In 1918, when the boun-
dairy between Canada and the
United States was settled. this
line was definitely placed from
the Atlantic coast TO the Rocky
mountains. But no agreement
could be reached west of that,
and it was left under an arrange
ment whereby this territory was
to be Jointly occupied by the
British and Americans.
Settlers from the United
States began To come into the
Northwest in such numbers that
the United States felt that they
should own this section, which
included the present states OF
Oregon and Washington, and
British Columbia. through the
right of possession. Agitation
IN favor of actively pushing our
claims became so strong that
when Polk was nominated by The
Democrats in 1914, one of the
main planks in the party plat
form was the famous one popu-
larry called, "Fifty-four forty or
fight"
In 1916 a peaceful settlement
was made with England on
compromise basis.
In 1893 Washington territory
was separated from Oregon. 1t
did not, however, become state
until 1889, and then only after
thirteen years petitioning for add
mission.
