this country delights to honor.
For the purpose of this remarkable cele-
hration, Calvin Coolidge, when President,
created the Bicentennial Commission. The
American Tree Association, cooperating with
this commission, is directing this gigantic task
Of planting 100000 trees, each one indicative
Of q Nations honor to the national hero. It is
. particularly fitting way of remembering the
life and services of the master of Mount Vernon.
What more significant and unique method
could be employed to manifest the affection
which America feels for Washington?
Not only will this tree planting involve an
act Of commemoration, but also will it SUI
premely carry out one of the guiding principles
OF George washington-namely, that of self
suficiency in National Government. This means
conservation. nation must be strong and
able to take care of itself in emergencies Thus
only can entangling alliances become unneces-
sary. There is no greater need in the United
States today in the matter of self-strengthening
than that of trees. Washington undoubtedly
would be the first to desire as memorials to him
trees that will make his country stronger and
better one.
There are 120 900 900 idle acres now existing
in the United States which are suitable for
forests only. The crop of timber steadily
dwindles while the rate of consumption Is on
the increase. There have been times when
men and guns and bullets were the supreme
necessities. That is nots so now, for the ma
uonal necessity is trees and more trees. It is

ice, the whole being covered first with rabbit
skin and then course wooden cloth. It being
the habit TO go to market on horseback, Moore
invented the first refrigerator so that butter
might be carried the 20 miles to Washington
He could deliver his butter in much better
shape than the other market men. Later he
made his refrigerator larger and in different
style for family and dairy purposes.
President Jefferson and some of the heads Of
the Government departments in Washington
used Moore's patented refrigerator If they were
fortunate enough to possess ice houses, which
were luxuries in those days After IA years the
patent expired, when the inventor gave the
public the benefit of his work by not renew
ing it.
Moore wrote on many subjects and his agri-
cultural work made him widely known through
out Maryland Also, a civil engineer, as he
was called upon by the corporation of George
town to build the causeway to connect Ana
lostan Island to Virginia, for which he was paid
the sum of $4,000. Then the United States
Government employed him to lay out the great
National road to the West. President Jefferson
later appointed him chief engineer of the
James River Canal, and he also served in the
same capacity for the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal With his two brothers-in-law, Caleb
Bentley and Isaac Briggs he started cotton
mill at Triadelphia, Md, and at one time he
managed the Union Manufacturing AillE, near

The 2Ooth anniversary of the natal day of
George Washington falls on February %, 1882,
one year hence. Plans are already under way
for a nationwide celebration of this event,
headed by none other than the President OF
the United States. Included in these plans is
the proposal that 100000 trees be planted
this year so that they will have taken root and
be growing when the bicentenary day arrives.
This phase of the observance of the Bicentennlal
Is being fostered by the American Tree Asso-

may be planted at any time during the dormant
period when it is possible to work the soil-that
Is, when it is not frozen. This period begins
with the dropping of the foliage in the Fall
and ends when the buds burst open in the
Spring.
Early Spring is the better for tree planting
in the region north of this line. From near the
ninety-eighth meridian to beyond the crest Of
the Sierra Nevadas and the Cascade Noun.
tains Spring planting is usually best except in
few of the warmer portions, the tree associa-
ton experts say.
IN the Eastern United States, evergreens may
be planted in the Fall, beginning three
months before the ground is expected to freeze
and ending six weeks later; or in the Spring
after the frost is out of the ground and until
the weather gets too warm
West Of the Mississippi planting should be
done only in the Spring because of danger from
droughts that are likely to occur in late Sum-
mer. In the region bounded by the Rocky
Mountains, the Cascade Mountains and the
Sierra Nevadas times should be selected when
root growth may take place promptly after
tranSpanttng with minimum of Transportation
from the foliage until the plant is established.
On the Pacific slope the same reasons dictate
planting early in the rainy season or just prior
to it, as there is seldom sufficient cold to check
root growth. In semitropical Florida moisture
is so abundant that transplanting may be done
at almost any time.
To all who plant trees in memory Of George
Washington and register them with the Ameri-
can Tree Association will be sent Bicentennial

1--WE of the most distinguished of the
early settlers of the Sandy Spring.
Md, neighborhood was Thomas Moore
inventor of the first refrigerator.
This Quaker was the son Of Thomas Moore of
Ireland, who first settled in Pennsylvania early
in the last century and later moved to Water
ford, small town in Virginia, which he named
for his native town in Ireland. The village,
situated about six miles from Leesburg, Va, is
often visited as one Of the early settlements of
the Old Dominion.
Moving TO Sandy Spring about 1874, after his
marriage to Mary Brooke, daughter of Roger
Brooke of Brooke Grove, Moore started farming
on the estate of his wife, He made valuable
contributions to agriculture and many visitors
travelled to his model farm. 1t was at this
time that Thomas wrote book called "The
Great Error of Agriculture Exposed, and Hints
for Improvements Suggested" published in 1901.

The patent on his refrigerator, which Moore
received in 1903, was signed by Thomas Jeffer-
President and James Madison, Secretary
of State. 1t is in the possession of the Misses
Miller of Alloway,. granddaughter. This first
refrigerator is described as a small oval tub, Is
