Wheat acted weak today after an
early sho wof stubborness. In the
early show of stubborness. In the
mostly local and there was dis
position shown to even up outstand-
ing contracts before the three adj
journment. This gave the market a
rather choppy trend. The absence
of rain in the Canadian wheat belt
led some of the more venturesome
bulls to add to their holdings. About
mid-session Winnipeg had a sinking
spell and this led to local buyers
unloading long wheat and this, to-
gether with some hedging pressure,
caused prices to slip back rapidly.
Buying power was poor in the later
trading. Threshing returns from the
southwest tell of big yields. A re-
port from Manhattan, Kan, told of a
field there threShing oft Al bushels

An Interpretation of this brief note

An Interpretation of this brief note
shows that the band of Colonel Proc
tors Fourth Continental artillery ap-
parently took 1t upon itself to serenade

ord brings to light that Valley Forge,
with all that that name means of priya-
tions and suffering, was the setting
where was staged what was undoubt-
edly the first recognition in any public
way of Washington's birthday.
French First to Celebrate.
There Is still another record of those
Revolutionary times which touches us
perhaps most polgnantly today. To the
French is credit due for the first pub
lie celebration of Washington's BIRTH
day. 1t was in February, 1871, that
Comte de Rochambeau, with true
French spirit, declared holiday for the
French troops who were then located
in Connecticut. Washington's BIRTH
day fell that year on Sunday, so the
Frenche general specified that the fol-
lowing Monday be set aside for the
celebration of the birthday of his COM
mander, whom he so highly esteemed.
1t was another of the many evil
dences OF, the close ties between France
and America which existed in Revo-
lutionary times. 1t was on that men,
orable occasion that was first laid the
foundation of our national holiday.

THE DATE OF
WASHINGTON'S
BIRTH
.LD records-what stories they can

OLD records-what stories they can
~ tell. Sometimes full of romance,
sometimes startling in their disclosures.
1t would seem that Washington's
birthday, observed for so many years
on February %, was a celebration
founded securely on accurate historical
facts. Yet buried in the family Bible
of Washington's mother and written in
her own handwriting is an entry which
Makes one pause with surprise. There
she has clearly recorded the astounding
statement that George Washington
was born on February IL.
Certainly no one should know more
about this important event than Mrs,
Washington.
There it is in black and white in
her own handwriting:
George Washington, son to Au-
gustine and Mary, his wife, was
bore We 1.-the of February, 1872,
about 10 in the morning, and was
baptised the Sd of April following.
Mr.. Beverley Whiting and Capt.
Christopher Brooks, godfathers,
and Mrs Mildred Gregory, god
mother.
Family Bibles, especially in those
times, were the last word in accuracy,
so this statement must be accepted as
indisputable
BY the latter part of the Sixteenth
century the calendar year had become
askew with the astronomical year 1t
| seemed important that readiustment
| be made and Pope Gregory XIII, after
careful consultation with the learned
men Of his time, decreed that in 1852
! 10 days should be dropped and ar
ranged what has since been called the
Gregorian calendar. The mandate of
the pope was followed that year by
Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, but
England would have none of it and
continued on the basis of the old cal
endar for another century and a half.
Difference of Eleven Days.
BY 1852 in England the discrepancy
! had mounted up to IL days, and the
disadvantages of two systems of dates
was causing great annoyance. 1t was
y
England or her colonies to France with
the days of both systems; for instance,
February 1922. So at last to avoid all
this confusion England officially adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar and decreed
that Il days be omitted in the year
1852 between September and Septem-
Der IA
So for Washington, his birthday in
1853 and all succeeding years fell on
February %.
But there is another record which
throws light on what was probably the
first public recognition of his birthday
This time the record is in his own
handwriting While commander In
chief of the Continental armies, with
all his other responsibilities and duties
Washington found time to keep exact
records of all his expenses. These ex.
pense accounts were several years ago
made available by their transferal
from the Treasury department to the
library of congress where they were
placed with the great collection OF
Washington's papers there.
In one of Washington's daily ex-
pense account books there is an entry
under date of February %, 1778, which
reads:
