WASHINGTON HAsTY W00ER.
Day Following Meeting Martha
Custis He Became Engaged.

From the Kansas City star.
Love at first sight" is by no means
a distinctively modern pastime-when
it comes to wooing in haste. George
Washington was no sluggard. In
deed, he was as much hustler as
any twentieth century son of a mil
lionaire bewitched by a front row
Follies charmer
Washington was in his twenty
sixth year when. taking dinner at a
friends home, he met young, pretty
and widowed Martha Custis. Wash
ington skipped half his meal and
gulped the other half. He could fix
none of his attention on eating be-
cause he had concentrated Ii all on
the alluring widow, whose invitation
to tea that evening he fervently ac-
cepted.
He left her home late that night
only to appear there early the next
morning. Before noon they were en-
gagged. and in a few days the knot
was tied" Martha in silk and satin,
laces and brocade, with pearls around
her throat and in her ears-and
George in blue and silver trimmed
with scarlet, and with gold buckles
at his knees and on his shoes.
Immediately following the cere-
mony they left for Mt. Vernon, not
together in a taxi" as Is the mode
today, but the bride in coach and
six" and the bridegroom on horse
back, riding proudly alongside.

FLETCHER ASSA|LS
PRESIDENTS CLAIM
Senator Gives Bloc Credit
for Any Legislation of Real
Benefit to Farmers.

Taking issue with President Hard
ing's address at Hutchinson, Kans,
Senator Fletcher, democrat, of Flor
ida, member of the farm bloc, said
in formal statement today that
whatever recent legislation has been
enacted of real benefit to farmers
had come from combination of
democrats and republicans. in the
face of opposition by the administra-
ton.
Wherever the administration has
interviewed, under pressure" de-
manding some relief for the agricul-
tural population, Senator Fletcher
asserted, the method and effect of
that Intervention has been to weaken
or destroy. the benefits intended to
be accomplished"
Paying tribute to the farm bloc"
the Florida senator said that but for
their energy and insistence." many
measures never would have been
written into law or put into effect.
the leader of the party and the ad-
ministration claiming credit for that
work"
Referring to the Presidents refer
ence to deflation, Senator Fletcher
said:
The President must know that de-
hation was not the policy of the
former administration. That admins
tration. 1t is true. had set about
checking imitation, but the facts are
that toward the close of that admin
istration Mr. Mccormick of Illinois
introduced resolution in the Senate.
which. in effect. called on the Fed
eral Reserve Board to increase read
justment rates and check further
credits and bring about deflation.
1T was republican policy, pure
and simple. and the defation that
hurt took place under the republican
administration"
prompt steps were taken to put the
Federal Farm Loan Board back into
business" Senator Fletcher declared:
The facts are. the Farm Loan Board
did not have to be put back into
business. 1t always has been in bus
mess since the measure passed by the
democratic Congress and approved
by a democratic President creating the
farm loan system became the law.
The President speaks of the bene-
fits to agriculture. for which the ad-
ministration may claim whatever
credit it can, arising from the emer
gency tariff law.
In the first place. if one examines
the statistics he will find the price
of agricultural products generally de-
clined after the enactment of that
law
In the next place. wherever the
prices were higher. if there were any
cases, it will be found that the farm
ers suffered a terrible burden as a
result of that Legislation by reason
of the increased cost to them of all
the supplies and things they needed
to purchase"

MORE BROOM CORN RAISED.
Kansas Area Doubled and Other
States Show Increases.
,m the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
Kansas has $4,000 acres planted in
broom corn this year, compared with
10000 acres harvested last year, &C
cording to the report of the state
statistician of the federal departm ent
of agriculture.
The six states that produce 95 per
cent of tHe country's broom corn sup
ply have a total area of 416.000 acres
planted to this crop, an increase of
1896 acres, or 60 per cent over the
1922 area.
Oklahoma has 243.o00 acres, an in
crease of $4,000; Colorado, $4,000, in
crease of $4,000: Texas. $4,000, in
crease $4,000: Illinois, $4,000, increase,
5000: New Mexico, $4,000. increase.
1900.
High prices for broom corn, together
with a wheat failure on much land in
broom corn districts, account for the
increased area.
Average consumption of broom corn
before the war was $4,000 tons an
nually, but in the last three years
production has averaged only 36,400
tons, the shortage accounting for
present high prices.
