In sad but loving remembrance of
our dear little daughter, Margaret
Virginia Brown, who departed this
life, April 3rd, 1880. Gone but not
Just token of loves devotion
That my heart still longs for you,
No one knows the silent heartache.
Only those who have lost can tell
Of the grief that is borne in silence,
For the one we love so well,
It is lonesome here without you,
Margaret;
Beneath my smile is an aching
heart.
When we found that you were dead
1t nearly broke our heart.
Our heart so sad and aching,
A precious one from us is gone.
A face we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.
Margaret, how we miss you,
Since from earth you passed away.
We never thought your death SO
near,
Sleep on dear Margaret and take
your rest;
We all love you, but God loves you
best.
By her loving Mother and Father.

of Work, and the worst part of it is
that they don't know who sent them.
The fact that Scoop himself didn't re-
ceive a single, solitary comic valen-
tine has led all the drug store cow
| boys to believe that he sent out the
scathing stanzas and descriptive pic
lures.
But due to the fact that it cost at
least four or five cents to buy and
mail each one, they were finally led
to believe that somebody who had
lots of money to throw away did it.
Here's What They Got
Harry Miller, grocer:
Besides the added dirt and sand
To every weight you 'lend hand"
In prices, too, you're known to fame
An addict to the adding game.
Harold Happy" "Andalusia" Har-
ned-the radio nut:
You listen in for bedtime tales
Til dawn is in the skies
And all you need is big long ears
And binders on your eyes.
Harold Betty" Dawson, the other
Gold Dust Twin Of Harned's drug
store:
Much dope and booze you serve they
say
Your counters like bar all day,
You'll feel at home, and We'll thank
our stars,
When you are safe behind the bars
Neil Fraley, merchant:
Each things a Especial bargain"
When you offer it for sale
But if the truth is known
It's just merchandise that's stale.
Joseph E. Harmed, druggist:
You have a great department store
Sell candy, soda, rugs,
Stamps, and magazines, watches, toys
Pray, do you handle drugs?
B. H. Sincell, the boss editor:
Now's the proper season
For me to drop line
To let you know you'll always be
A comic valentine.
Willum Frazee, farmer, stockman,
etc.:
A hayseed you are
In all that you do
When I've a gold brick to sell
I'll come first to you
H. C. Sincell, alias Isaac Hamber-
ger, ready to wear:
With suits you make we must admit
Your customers will have fit
Why waste time on pockets he never
can fill
Unless he refuses to pay your bill.
"Poky" "Slim" Shaw, head of the
Amalgamates: Sleepy Head
Wake up the brides are singing
Come out of that slumber so deep
Your neck is in need of wringing
Pray, why are you always asleep.
Floyd Stahl, barber:
Bob all the women, shave all the men,
Cut them and scratch them again and
again
Your scissors are dull, you razor
needs honing
Your customers leave you all crying
and moaning.

ing "smarty" in derby hat, but he

What is the dearest thing on earth,
That fills my heart with joy and
mirth?
My Yo-Yo.
What takes the place Of my best girl,
And is treasured more than any
pearl?
My Yo-Yo.
What keeps me busy day and night,
And makes me exercise with might :?
My Yo-Yo. .....
All day I work my arms it seems,
Till when Pm sleeping, in my dreams
1 Yo-Yo.
And in the morn when awake,
Before my breakfast I will take
My Yo-Yo.
And start to sling it in and out
Until my family curses out
My Yo-Yo.
I prance along the busy street Il
And show to everyone I meet
My Yo-Yo.

Spirit of Washington
Worthy of Emulation

Even though we may find it neces-
sary in certain particulars to modify
the advice which Washington gave his
country a century and half ago-as,
doubtless, he himself would modify it
were he here today facing the world
as it is-there is in the spirit of WASH
ington as a citizen and patriot moth
ing that we could wish to alter.
On the contrary we could ask moth
ing better for America than a revival
of that spirit. There was a noble
selflessness and generous breadth Of
vision in his attitude toward his pub
lie duties which must remain through
all the years the high ideal for Amer
icanism. He saw America as some
thing bigger and finer than an oppor-
tunity for material success; he saw it
as a spiritual adventure, great ex-
pertinent in human relations and in the
development of human values. 1t was
his appreciation of this phase Of
American possibility which inspired his
pride and devotion.-Chicago Post.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1930-02-20


count and added It up. But the biog-
rapher fails to notice that on the 9TH
er side Of the page Washington put
down his winnings. His winnings were
20 pounds. That is. he was 5 pounds
to the good. because, after all, he had
the fun Of 1t and the fun must have
been worth at least 10 pounds.
Washington constantly increased his
holdings. He was a scientific agrlcul-
turalist. There is in existence an in
teresting correspondence between
Washington and man named Blox-
ham, whom he imported from England
to be the manager Of his estate. We
have letter from Bloxham telling
what he thought of George Washing
ton, and almost on the same day a
letter from Washington telling what
he thought of Bloxham, not very COM
plimentary on either side, but they
came to understand each other and
BloXham lived and died in Washing
toms service.
Washington imported the best agri-
cultural implements he could hear Of.
He was in correspondence with Arthur
Young in England. great reformer in
such matters. He introduced seeds, he
planted cuttings, he raised trees and
shrubs. He was creative farmer. At
least he made living out Of the farm,
and left it much more valuable than
he found it.
Found Joy as Surveyor.
Again, Washington was surveyor
by profession. He began-everybod
knows tat sixteen years Of age in
the employ Of his neighbor and life
long friend. Lord Fairfax, to go out
and make surveys. We have copies Of
those surveys. We have the original
drawings he made, and the original
plats. Only a day or two before he
died he was out surveying bit Of
property. He loved to handle the sur
veying instruments. He loved the ex-
actness of the science.

Washington's Fame
Secure for Ever

Strangely we American people have
no nationally established holiday. The
anniversary Of the Declaration Of In
dependence, even, has not been gold.
lettered in our calendar. But its date
and that of the birth date Of George
Washington have, by the common &C.
ton Of all the states and possessions.
become the elect days Of our jubila-
ton and our reverence.
This is the one hundred and ninety.
eighth anniversary Of the birth of our
Washington, known to the world as
the "Father of His Country: first in
war, first in peace. and first in the
hearts Of his countrymenw
There is no other name In the hui
man roster that receives so much of
the admiration and gratitude Of CIV
ilized men as that of Washington. Only
the name of Jesus is more universal
and honored, because it is worshiped
as divine.
The resolutions of congress, when
Washington died. said "ancient and
modern names are diminished before
him." Hamilton declared that 1.-THE
voice of praise would in vain endeav-
or to exslt the name unrivaled in the
lists of true glory" and Lord Bryce,
the modern English appraiser of Amer
lean history, said "his fame belongs
to the history Of the world" The most
eloquent Irishman. Curran. declared
that mo country can claim him; no
age appropriate him. The boon of
Providence to the human race, his
fame is eternity and his residence ere.
ation!"
What wonder. then, that today we
turn our own and our children's eyes
to the immortal figure of Washington !

Canning Meats with the Pressure
Cooker.

Canning Meats with the Pressure
Cooker.
This method is the only one recon-
mended by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture as being safe for canning
meats. The intensely high temper
allure inside the cooker kills the spores
and bacteria and at the same time
reduces the processing time to frac-
ton of that required by other meth
DDS, which is great saving in fuel
as we'll as of the homemaker's time.
The meat may be canned cooked or
uncooked. If cooked or partially cook
ed, it should be properly seasoned
at the time, as seasoning cannot be
added to good advantage afterwards.
Since processing sterilizes the sur
rounding air as well as the meat and
any liquid, it is not necessary to ster-
ilize the jars. They should, of course,
be clean and nice but absolute sterili-
cation is superfuous.
Little Miss Julia Crow, a 16-year
old All Club worker of Silver Lake,
Kansas, won the second prize of 5000
for her jar of canned beef, using this
recipe: Cut 21s pounds Of roasting
beef into two-inche cubes. Add 1 tea
spoonful of salt and little pepper if
desired. Scar in fat in a very hot
frying pan. Pack into jar, adjust
rubber and lid and process at Is lbs.
pressure for 60 minutes. When pres
sure is down to zero remove jar and
tighten lid.
Mrs. Shelby Utz, Las Vegas, New
Mexico, the only prize winner from
her state, says she first dressed the
chickens carefully, precooked them
and removed the meat from the bones,
packed it and processed one hour at
Is lbs. pressure.
