Alexandria,s Great Mcmoria!

Alexandria, with the help of
the rest of the country, viii raise
$4,000. 900 instead of $3.000,000,
for the George Washington Me-
mortal now under construction
on the heights west of, or in the
west end of, George Washing
eton's "home town" The cost of
Che memorial itself has not been
advanced, but it is proposed to
raise the fourth million rs an en-
dowment fund. Some of the older
set in Washington, and perhaps
for that matter scme of the older
generation in Alexandria will
gasp to hear Alexandria and
Alexaudrians talking in terms of
millions of dollars. There was a
time, and that time was not so
long age, when this would have
been astonishing, but times
change. The proposal to collect
a million dollars as an endow-
ment fund for the great memor-
ial meets with wide approval. II
is. wise thing to have a goodly
surplus sclidly invested to pro-
vide for the upkeep of the temple
and to meet such charges as may
arise. bat which cannot be fore
seen. The magnificent project
which Alexandria and its people
inspired and projected touches
Imagination of millions of per
sons. and there is TO doubt that
the dollars needed will come IN.
The corner stone laying exercises
will be held next November, and
it is believed that $4,000 Masons
from all parts cf the country
will attend. The publicity that
will BE- given to that event should
start a strong tide of money
flowing toward Alexandria and
Its splendid temple project.

breaking down, congressionally
and nationally, of the barriers
and boundaries which have for

today in congress than at any
time in American history This
congress swept into power on the
crest of a great Republican land
slide in 1920, that was regarded
everywhere as the result of the
public's desire for a change. Re-
publican leaders accepted it a.
an endorsement of their particu-
lar sort of party operation, ard
proceeded to meet the problems
of the nation on that basis.
But in 1922, the congressional
elections disclosed the longing for
change still unsatisfied, and the
people turned out many Republl-
cans and substituted some Dem
ocrats, and some whose party
designations will be set down for
convenience as neither democratic
CT republican, but who are by
many regarded as the pioneers OF

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company think so much of Belington
that it places a valuation on real
estate in the City of Belington
at S31,114 80 per acre. This in
formation came about in this way,
some months ago The Thompson Co.
desired to place a platform along
their sidetrack which would project
over on the B. & O.. right-of-way
for the use of which the railroad
company want a rental price per year
which assuming that the rent would
be ten per cent of the value, would
figure out the valuation above stated.
The Progressive is of the firm be-
lief that the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road Company knows the values Of
real estate, and takes the position
that the dirt cheap property here in
Belington will in a few years
more than triple itself in value, and
the many beautiful building sites
that now can be bought for a song,
will become real values. rs

THE CACKLING HEN

We see where a Kentucky hen
broke into the newspaper by cakling
so hours without stopping. 1t is not
on record that she laid an egg to
Justify her commotion, but the very
lact that she did so huch cackling
got her lot of publicity. And then
her cakling grew to be nuisance
and her owner took her out and chop
ped her head off. It's the same way
with a lot of people. We meet on
the streets of Belington occasionally
the fellow who does a lot of cackling
but he doesn't offer anything to
show why he has right to cackle.
Pretty soon his cackling get on the
nerves of the public, and he grows
to be looked upon as sort of nee
essary nuisance in the community.
It's all right to cackle to certain
extent but be carful you don't over
do it. And if you want to be one Of
not OVERRIDING it be sure you have
done something worth while before
you even start to cackle.

Using THE WASTE

We read the other day where
Henry Ford has furnished the world
an excellent example of utilizing that
which has always been thrown away.
In making Ford cars, and especially
the closed cars, there has always
been waste of small pieces of wood
in the cabinet shops. Naturally where
thousands of cars are turned out
everv day these short ends soon
made a tremendous pile. Maybe they
were but two or three inches long
but there were hundreds of thous-
ands of them, and UP to short time
ago they had been burning them at
the big factory.
Now Ford has installed machinery
to grind these wood scraps into pulp,
and the pulp is made into paper. The
paper is used for wrapping parts Of
the cars. and for various other pur-
poses about the plant. All of which
goes to show that if other industries
would spend little time in divising
WAYS of utilizing that part Of their
product now going to waste they
could. as result, afford to sell thir
products cheaper to the buying pub
lie. We are wasteful nation. Every
family IN Belington will in the
course ia year, waste fully one
fourth as would make them good for
several weeks more, and the same is
true of clothing, and farm machinery
and various other things. We have
n1ade wastefulness habit simply be-
cause we have never found it diff
cult to get the things we want and
need.
Henry Ford has set a good ex-
ample. He has shown that waste,
even in a plant that makes millions
of dollars year and can afford it,
is wort hsomethiing and can be made
to yield profit. And we hope his
example will be worth something to
the individual citizen, as we'll as to
other manufacturing concerns.
