rendered a report. Statistics and
other necessary data from these
statements were painstakingly cop
led in journal and account books by
the General. No detail was beneath
his notice, as is evidenced by the copi-
Gus notations which he made almost
daily in his diaries.
Although Washington was absent
from Mount Vernon about half of
the time in the service of his coun-
try, he kept a watchful eye on what
was going on at home and continued
to receive weekly accounting.
"To these reports the General
would make lengthy replies. They
gave instructions on the care of the
cattle, sowing, cultivation and harv-
esting of the crops, the making of re-
pairs to buildings and farm machin-
cry, the purchase of new implements
and the comfort and discipline of the
317 negroes and many whites in his
employ.
"While in Mount Vernon, rarely a
day passed that did not find Wash
ington in the saddle making a tour
of inspection of his plantations. 1t
was his custom to rise before the
sun, visit his stables and, after par
taking of a temperate breakfast,
leave for a ride about his extensive
domain, often covering distance of
as many as fifteen miles. He would
stop and talk with his overseers, offer
innumerable suggestions and discuss
plans for the future. Promptly at a
quarter of three in the afternoon he
would return.
"Washington was doubtless the first
scientific farmer in America. Early
did he see the wisdom of the rotation
of crops for which he prepared elabo-
rate tables, the inadvisability of CEN
! tering his agricultural activities on
the production of tobacco, the runin-
GUS effects of the Virginia system,
and the untold benefits of practical
experimentation, which he carried on
to great extent. Much of his knowl-
edge of farming he obtained from i'm
ported books and from correspond
ence with the justly celebrated Ar
thur Young and Sir John Sinclair, as
we'll as from first hand observation
during his travels"

the flames into fury. Baltimore was
burning, and with it the Bible House.
Mr.. Cross at once rose to the emer-
gency. Temporary quarters were
secured in the Young Mems Christian
Association building at the corner of
Charles and Saratoga streets, while
the board of managers met at Mr..
Cross's law Office at 10 East Lexing-
ton street. The Charles street site
was sold, additional ground was Sc
cured on East Fayette street and the
second Bible House was erected on
the site of the first one, and was
ready for occupancy in August, 1905.
Thus did Baltimore rise like the Phoe-
nix from her ashes.
In spite of difficulties requiring al
most superhuman effort, 1865 vol
umes were distributed in 1904, and
$500 sent to the American Bible So
ciety, while in 1904-5, while the city
lay in ruins, 1862 volumes were dis
tributed and contribution of $1,000
made to the National Society. For
the purchase of the additional lot
$6,679 was paid, and the sale of the
Charles street lot brought $29,802.
A mortgage was placed upon the
building, which was paid off in four
years. On August 81, 1909, Mr.. Cross
died suddenly. He had been a men,
Der of the board since 1872, and the
Society properly bore testimony to
his "high Christian character and his
love for the inspired Word of God
together with his marked admins
trative ability and tact in dealing
with difficult situations"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-09-01

In the late nineties lethargy came
over the Society. Donations dropped
to an average of $4,000 per year and
distribution dropped to about $4,000
volumes. Such variations belong to
life, and register in everything from
the rise and fall of the tide, the wax
ing and waning of the moon, the sys-
tole and diastole of the heart, to pros
perity and depression in business.
One happy event occurred at this
time in the election of DR.. Bernard
C. Steiner as recording secretary of
the society, an office which he held by
annual election until 1915. His mon
umental labor in this field was the
preparation and publication of the
brochure, zone Hundred and Ten
Years of Bible Society Work in
Maryland, 181O-192O." This little
volume is compendium of all impor-
tant happenings within the Society,
so far as records are available, for
the entire period of its existence. The
booklet is a veritable mine of valua-
BILE information, and is practically the
only source book of the Society for
this long period of its life.
The writer of these articles was
driving down the York Road on the
evening of February 7th, 1904, when
he observed the sky line above the
City of Baltimore illuminated to a
most unusual degree of brightness.
AS he drew near Texas, his destina-
ton for the evening, sparks and great
bursts of flame were clearly discern
lille. as the fierce winter wind dashed

WASHINGTON LIKED TITLE
FARMER"

Those who have read bits of Wash
ington's diary will need no convinc-
ing that the Father of His Country
liked the simple, rural life. But fur
Their evidence of this fact will be
found in an interesting article in the
current issue of the National Repub-
lie by Albert R. Beatty, entitled,
George Washington-Farmer." In
this story Mr.. Beatty shows that our
first President was never happier
than when engaged in agricultural
pursuits and that he liked the tilt
farmer" In part the writer says:
"Of the numerous titles that were
prefxed to the name of George Wash
ington suddenly found himself master
Gus career, none was as pleasing to
him as that of farmer Never was
he happier than when he was at
Mount Vernon engaged in agricultu-
raj pursuits and, as visitor to his
estate in 1855 said of him, His great
est pride is to be thought the first
farmer in America
"When, at the age of twenty, Wash
ington suddenly found himself masteh
of Mount Vernon and it's vast farm
lands, there were no county agricul-
tural agents with whom he could con-
suit; no magazines nor journals in
this country devoted to husbandry
from which he could obtain practi-
cal information or write for advice,
and no agricultural colleges nor gov
eminent experiment stations to offer
helping hand. He was on his own,
as it were, and he was equal to the
task.
Fortunately, as a youth, he had
lived on a farm, and had obtained a
thorough knowledge of the planters
methods that were then in vogue. He
had made a number of trips to Mount
Vernon while it was in the hands of
his half brother Lawrence and, dur
ing these visits he had become &C
dhainted with every foot of it's fields
and meadows.
"From the very start the young and
industrious Washington assumed per-
sonal supervision of his estate which
he geographically divided into five
tracts: The Mansion House farm;
River Farm; Union Farm; Muddy
Hole Farm, and Dogue Run Farm.
Over each of these was placed an ov-
erseer, with a general manager at the
head who was responsible only to
Washington and to whom he weekly

Holly Trees From Cuttings
By w. R. Ballard, Extension Horti
culturist

By w. R. Ballard, Extension HOrti-
culturist
It is a we'll known fact that some
holly trees do not produce berries and
since the scarlet colored fruits are the
attractive feature of this broad-leaved
evergreen, attempts to propagate the
berried forms by cuttings are of gen.
eral interest. Experimental results
have been successful and nurserymen
are beginning to try out this method
on a commercial scale.
Cuttings of the current seasons
growth five or six inches long are
made preferably in August or early
September. Two or more leaves
should be left on the cuttings and they
should be set on a slant so that the
leaves will be near the surface of the
bed. Close contact with the soil helps
to prevent whiting of the foliage. If
green foliage can be retained on the
cutting it will almost certainly root
sooner or later.
Equal parts Of sand and peat moss
make the best roofing medium al
though leaf mold can be used for the
peat moss when it is not available
A cold frame with a lath screen is
about the best place for roofing the
cuttings although upon the approach
of freezing weather it is desirable to
cover the frame with glass sash.
Under ideal conditions roots will be-
gin to form in about twenty-one days
New shoots develop generally only
after cuttings have been exposed to a
period of low temperatures. Cuttings
should be left in the frame for about a
year before being tranplanted to es-
pecially prepared beds and they
should be secured from the finest ber-
ried trees available.

and place in baking dish. Sprinkle
with sugar and a little salt, dot with
butter, add very little water, cover,
and bake in a moderate oven. AS
soon as the fruit becomes soft, re-
move the cover so that the sirup will
cook down. Serve hot or cold with
or without cream.
Try These Out on Your fodder
Food habits are established early.
1t is well to form good ones. The fol-
lowing points will help your child to
health:
Set time for meals and allow no
interruptions during the meal hour.
Have the food attractive in color,
odor and flavor so that it will tempt
the appetite.
Serve small portions so that the
child can clear his plate without the
feeling of being stuffed.
Take it for granted that he will eat
happily everything served him and be
sure that he becomes acquainted with
variety of foods.
Let him feed himself and experience
the joy of self-help.
Refrain absolutely from discussing
the child's eating habits with others
in his presence.
Begin today. The training or the
retraining in food habits is too i'm
portant to wait until tomorrow.
Be sure that he has the following
each day: One quart of milk, whole
grain cereal, tomato or orange juice,
some vegetable, cod liver oil and
water to drink.

Graded Farm Products Benefit All

Selling farm products on the basis
of grades and the use of inspection
is a benefit to all parties concerned
producer, distributor, and the people
who buy and eat the food, according
to Stewart B. Shaw, chief of the
Maryland State Department of Mar
kets. When products are sold this
way, he says, the man who produces
high-quality is paid accordingly.
For a number of years, Mr.. Shaw
states, a Federal-State inspection SER
vice has been offered growers of farm
products in Maryland, and thousands
of carloads pass under the eyes of
these trained, unbiased inspectors
each year. Among the products he
mentions as having been inspected are
apples, peaches, pears, strawberries,
potatoes, cucumbers, eggs, and maple
syrup.
Last year for the first time, Mr..
Shaw says, this inspection service was
used by a number of packers in buy
ing tomatoes for canning.

PARENTS ASKED TO HAVE
VACCINE GIVEN CHILDREN
State Law Requires Those En-
tering School to be Protected

Parents of children who will enter
school this fall are reminded by DR..
r. H. Riley, Director Of the State
Department of Health, of the Mary
land law which requires all children
to be vaccinated against smallpox be-
fore they can be accepted in any
school in the State.
"The family physician is expected
to vaccinate every baby and young
child urder his care" DR.. Riley said,
"and the parents should see that it is
done. The earlier it is attended to
the better it is for the child.
Until a child enters school," DR..
Riley continued, "the responsibility
for having him or her protected
against smallpox, rests with the par
ents. After that it is shared by the
teachers. In accordance with the
Maryland vaccination law, any teach
er who permits the enrolment of an
unvaccinated child, or children, is liza
BILE to a fine of ten dollars for each
and every offense.
Smallpox is comparatively rare in
Maryland, but unvaccinated people in
Maryland are just as susceptible to
the disease and just as likely to get
it, if exposed to it, as unvaccinated
persons are in other communities. We
owe our comparative freedom from
the disease to the willing, intelligent
cooperation of parents, doctors and
teachers with State, county and city
departments of health in carrying out
the provisions of the Maryland vacci-
nation law, in seeing that children are
vaccinated either in infancy or before
they reach school age.
Sometimes it is necessary for US to
notice what is happening in other
parts of the country in order that we
may realize what would occur in
Maryland if our people were not pro-
tected against smallpox. The disease
is much more common than most peo-
pie realize. It is prevalent at all
times and in all parts of the world.
A recent report from the U. S. Public
Health Service shows that 482 cases
were reported in the United States
alone, during the four weeks ending
on July Is, and that many more cases
were reported from other parts of the
world. Thirty-two states were repre-
scented in these 482 cases. am glad
to be able to say that Maryland was
not among them. We have had only
one case of smallpox in the State in
|, two years, and only 40 in five years
- in 1927; % in 1928; 8 in 1929; none
in 1880; one in 1881 and none since
then. Smallpox is preventable, as
our. record shows. In many of the
counties parents are inclined to wait
until just before school opens to have
their children vaccinated. The fall
and winter term will begin in a few
days and children who have not been
vaccinated should be taken to their
family doctors, without further delay,
and protected against this entirely
preventable disease"

a large glass of very hot water and
drink without sugar. First, take
three tablets of Pape's cold COM

the head, dries the nasal passages,
reduces any fever. The lemon juice
then drives all cold symptoms right

HENRY SLAYINC
LAID To PAIR

Two men are charged with the
murder of Milton White (Millsie)
Henry, local gambler slain April
81 in the rear Of a Sixteenth
Street apartment, in an indict-
ment returned today by the Dis
trict Grand Jury.
The men, Charles Harris and
Harry Davis, are charged with
first-degree murder in the indict-
ment, which accuses them of kill
ing Henry with a shotgun as he
drove his car to the curb in front
of 3438 Brown st. N. w.
Henry was slain early in the
morning, as he was returning to
his home. His wife was just
leaving the apartment house to
meet him when the Staying oc-
cured.
Police testimony before the
Grand Jury charged that Harris
and Davis are members of the
Silver Bird Mob" of Philadel-
phia, and were employed to put
Henry on the spot" Both men
claim they have alibis for the
time of the Staying.
