"Many a farmer today is a close
student" the Senator said, smiling as
he leafed through the book. "And
many modern farmer will listen
with sympathy to such passage as
this: 'Eliab Roberts, William Acres,
Joseph Wilson and Azel Martin set
into work today and 1 think worked
but indifferently.' So Washington had
his complaints against farmhands, too.
But here, 1 think" Senator Capper
exulted over his finds, "are two en-
tries that reveal the man that Wash
ington the farmer must have been
shrewd, observant, the instructive bus
mess man, forever trying what would
best serve his advantage.
'Noted,'" Senator Capper quoted
from the book, "'that when Pease are
sown the ground should be rolled
smooth so that the pods can be raked
up, with time saved from picking them
by hand There is the great man
watchful of the minutest details. And
here is another small detail in the

try dated December 6, 1887, Wash

ed very well. The horse mule is in
tended also for the plantation
"It's just such homely touches" the
Senator leaned back to say in conclud-
ing, "that would make Washington a
man among men if he could return
today among the people of my Sec
ton. When you think of it," Senator
Capper lighted up with sudden feel
ing, what better tribute could we pay
the man than in saying so often to
ourselves, If Washington could re-
turn today? Isn't it a new measure of
our respect and affection for the man
that we wish so much he could come
again, so that we might show him
what we, as stewards, have done with
the great trust he built up and placed
in our hands.
1--WE may have made mistakes in
judgment" the Senator finished, eve

ingly successful. The fact is, he had
to complain of a rather high percen-
tage of disappointments. It was only
natural, of course. In Washintgon's
day agriculture was still somewhat
primitive, in the light of modern prac-
tice it was without benefit of the ac-
emulation of broad scientific knowl-
edge and experience that we enjoy
today. If Washington were to return
today, the average American farmer
could show him thing or two-prob-
ably to Washington's mingled envy
and delight. He might regret that he
could not have profted by what we
now know, but he would be the first
to rejoice at the progress made.
"But the thing that would most
please Washington" said Senator
Capper, "would be our epic conquest
of the great West and the reduction of
its wonderful soil to production. To
me-" the Senator unused, "there is
something infinitely touching in
Washington's hunger for as much of
that fertile Western soil as he could
possess. The continental West as we
know it, he never saw, but he had
more than glimpsed the Ohio Valley,
and sensed what lay beyond. He sent
his agents to lay claim to as much as
he could handle of the better land be-
yond the Alleghenies and throughout
his correspondence during the Revolu-
ton he returns again and again to
his anxiety to safeguard his holdings.
His heart and his business sense both
lured him in that direction, in the
conviction that there the great devel-
opment of the country would center.
"Today," the Senator observed
with satisfaction, "the people of my
section of the country would convince
Washington that he was right! For
every reason and in every sense of
the word they would make him feel
at home. He would be among people,
too, who are after his own kind. AS
farmers, at least, they have had ev-
cry experience that fell to Washing
ton.
"You have only to glance through
Washington's diaries to seehow quick
ly they would understand each other,
Out of those intimate jottings speaks
the real George Washington, farmer,
and what a modern language he
speaks!"
The Senator referred to one of the
volumes, priceless because so reveal
ing, and read: "June 16, 1853. Be-
gun to cut my Timothy Meadow at
Doeg Run and did not finish it till the
9th July-the weather being rainy and
bad-which almost spoiled 10000
weight of Hay"
"On July 25th he records that he
found rust in a 2S-acre field of wheat,
and adds this note, From the most &C
curate experiments l could make this
year upon Wheat seized with the Rust
before it is fully formd and beginning
to Harden, it appears to be matter
of very little consequence whether it
is cut down as soon as it IS seized
with this distemper Il mean the parts
of the field that are SOY or suffered to
stand; for in either case the grain
perishes and has little or no flower
in it, He meant -four" the Senator
interpolated, with a smile for Wash
ington's spelling, and finished the quo
tation, That indeed which is suffered
to stand may gain a little, and but
little, in respect to the grain, and the
other in respect to the straw; so that
I think it is nearly equal which of the
two methods is followed

INGENIOUS PROCESS STOPS VARIATION IN
 FLAVOR OF COFFEE
Wonderful Flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee Is the Same in
 Every Pound

Many people have wished for a coffee that didn't vary. in flavor. Hills Bros. Coffee is such coffee. It is roasted by the patented, Con trolled Roasting process that abso- lutely prevents variation!
 As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow little at time so the exquisite, unvarying flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by the patented process that roasts evenly, continuously :. c little at C time.
 Controlled Roasting is different from the ordinary method of roast ing several hundred pounds at once. The results-as cup of Hills Bros. Coffee shows-are very different tool There is a refreshing smooth ness that no other coffee has, be- cause no other is roasted the same way. And remember, this marvellous flavor never varies!
 Hills Bros. Coffee is packed ir vacuum cans. Air, which makes coffee go stale, is removed and kept out of these cans. Even ordinary "air-tight" cans won't keep coffe, fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can 20 stale! Order some today. Asl for it by name, and look for thc Arab trademark on the can.

 His talk was preceded by a small amount of routine business. Cor respondence from the University Commercial Club of Seattle, Se- attle Chamber of Commerce and Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce was read.
 A short report from the local in- dustries committee was read, urg- ing business men to build up local industries by patronizing local in dustries. It pointed out that in recent weeks, number of local people had given painting con- tracts to travelling workmen whose investment here was on their backs.
