ship with Daniel Baxter from 1892 to the end
of 1894 Wilson did not live long after coming
to Washington, for he died here on February

Co. secured the equipment used in printing
the paper and continued publishing 1t under
the name of the Washington Advertiser but
its life was of short duration for it lasted this
time for only two months. It was DIR. Crocker
who built the house which stood for many
years at the northwest corner Of Ninth and E

IT WILL be recalled that the Highlanders of
Scotland were also in distress at this time
and the citizens of Washington were alike
alert to their cause as evidenced by the follow
ing announcement
"A very large public meeting was held at the
City Hall on the evening of the 10th of April,
1847 for the purpose of devising means for
relieving the distressed Highlanders of Scot
Land, in which many distinguished persons
participated. Resolutions were adopted to that
end, and committees appointed to take up col
lections"
The original Odd Fellows Hall, which oc-
cupied the site Seventh where stands the
present building, was dedicated on May 25
1846, and the press gave it a good write-up,
saying:
"Odd Fellows Procession and Dedication"
at is due to his highly respectable and num-
erous fraternity that a more detailed account
should be published Of the great pageant and
ceremonies which took place in this city last
Monday, when the new and splendid Hall of
Odd Fellows, lately erected on Seventh street,
was dedicated with appropriate and interesting
ceremonies, which riveted the attention and
elected the admiration Of a mighty concourse
OF spectators who were brought hither from
various States and cities where the order
exists and exertS beneficial influence
"It is ascertained that there were not less
than thousand Odd Fellows in the procession
which, when formed into line, was about three
quarters Of mile in length. The appearance
OF it was exceedingly grand and imposing, as
viewed from the side windows on Pennsylvania
avenue, from the terrace Of the Capitol, and
other elevated positions.
"The splendid regalia of the various lodges,
glittering resplendently while the procession
was in motion; the handsome banners and
beautiful embems profusely ornamented with
gold figures and letters; the orderly and regular
marching of the members; the smiling and ele-
gantly dressed orphans in large car, taste
fully decorated with wreaths and flowers, and
drawn by four horses-all these combined to
tmpar loveliness and moral grandeur to the
scene which no pen can adequately portray.
And then in addition to all its other attrac-
tionS, there were nine bands of music along
the line, all of which performed admirably
and added much to the enlivening Of the scene.
"The procession was composed Of the follow
ing lodges: Central, No. 1; Washington, No. s;
Eastern, No. 7; Harmony No. g. Columbia, No.
10; Union, No. IL; Friendship, No IL; Beacon,

Abble Tree Is Firm

THE apple tree, when correctly planted tn
! the proper soil, erects itself ON a de-
cidedly firm foundation. Investigations
have revealed that when the trees are
set out in good SOIL that is with a loose subsou,
wen drained and easily penetrated, the tree
will send its roots down as far as 10 feet and
over q wide area
There is a decided connection between this
abundant root system and the production or
fruit. Those trees planted in soil which en-
courages root development yield by far the
larger crop and the fruit is at the same time
much finer in quality.

NTHER meetings were held in the old han
for the same purpose, and q ball held
the month before is described by the Intelli-
gencer as follows:
Seventh street, on the evening of the 9Th of
January, 1847. for the relief Of the sufferers
by the famine in Ireland, which yielded a
handsome return, the proceeds Of which, with
collections obtained through numerous other
channels by the citizens Of Washington, we're
transmitted to Ireland. Six thousand dollars
were invested in provisions, which were
shipped from Alexandria in the barque Gen.
Harrison, and consigned to the mayor of Cork,
Ireland, for distribution"
Many poems Of more or less merit were writ

which he believes was inspired by this famine.
It is called "The Watcher" and the words
are by DR.. Lardner, evidently Dionysius Lard
ner popular writer on technical subjects,
who was born in Dublin in 1793 and died in
1859. He was educated at Trinity College and
gained prominence as a scientist. Three of
the four verses of this song follow:
THE night was dark and fearful,
The blast swept waiting by;
watcher, pale and fearful,
Lookd forth with anxious eye
How wistfully she gazeth!
No gleam of morn is there:
Her eyes to heav'n she raiseth.
In agony of pray'r.
Within that dwelling lonely,
Where want and darkness reign.
Her precious child, her only,
Lay moaning in his PAIN
And death alone can free him;
She feels that this must be:
But oh for morn to see him
Smile once again on met
The morning is shining;
She heedeth not its ray:
Beside her dead reclining,
The pale dead mother lay
A smile her lips was wreathing-
smile of hope and love,
As though she still were breathing,

Film-Photo League
Calls for Protest
Against War Picture

After playing a week at the Roxy
Theatre, New York, Columbia Pic
lures Corporation is getting ready
to release to the neighborhood thea
tres a film called mo Greater
Glory" which under the guise OF
entertainment attempts to sell pro-
paganda for WAR.
In mo Greater Glory" a cast Of
children is made to go through the
motions of a miniature war for a
vacant lot. Paralleling the propa-
ganda of the war-mongers during
war time, this picture breaches the
worship of the military uniform. Its
message is: There is no greater
glory than laying down your life
for your country (the country that
has kept you unemployed or cut
your wages during the past five
years.. 1t tells you that war is in
evitable, that it always has been
and always will be. 1t tells you
that your children can have no
finer virtues than the virtues" OF
war which lead to ''honorable-pa-
triotic death.
The Film and Photo League issues
this warning to all workers, to all
organizations, to all who are op-
posed to imperialist war. Special
attention must be given to exposing
mo Greater Glory" in the neigh
borhood movies. Special attention
because leading liberals and paci-
fists are coming forward by praising
this picture for being against war
The Film and Photo League calls
upon all anti-war fighters to send
protests to Columbia Pictures Corp,
729 Seventh Ave, New York City
demanding they stop distributing
mo Greater Glory; send protests
and delegations to neighborhood
theatres demanding that they can
eel bookings of mo Greater Glory;
issue leaflets and picket theatres
showing mo Greater Glory; raise
the slogan: Boycott All Pro-War
and Pro-Fascist films!"

the Nazi boycott against the Jews
in Germany. Also the burning by

A feature of the film shows the
fight Of the Daily Worker against

bration in New York, when thou
sands Of Communists turned in

Groups of Textile
Workers from r. l.
To See ''Stevedore''

NEW YORK. - What a strong
workers cultural movement means
to workers in all parts Of the coun-
try is shown by requests received by
the Theatre Union for tickets from
groups which are willing to make
long, difficult journeys in trucks to
see "Stevedore."
The following letter comes from
Ann Burlak, national secretary of
the National Textile Workers Union
in Providence. r. L, telling how
groups Of undergrad textile workers
want to drive down to New York
to see the militant Negro play at
the Civic Repertory Theatre if they
can secure free seats.
My dear Comrades:
The presentation Of "Stevedore"
makes such a profound impression
on any worker who sees it, that I
am sorry for only one thing; the
fact that so few workers outside of
New York City have chance to
enjoy the play.
I have talked to numerous tex
tile workers here about the play,
and they are very anxious to get
a chance to see it. The distance
and expense involved seem to be
the great barrier.
Possibly with q little cooperation
we can overcome the barrier. We
are planning to organize theatre
party Of some II or IA textile work
erS. They can cut their travelling
expense to a minimum by coming
in two cars. Can the Theatre Union
help out by arranging for this
group to get some Of the Unem-
ployed tickets that are regularly dis
tributed? These textile workers are
extremely low paid, and will be
quite handicapped if this arrange
rnent can't be made. The group
hopes to make the trip some week
end, attend a showing on a Sat-
urday evening and return to Provi-
dence on Sunday.
I am sure this move would spread
the popularity and significance of
the Theatre Union in our textile
territory.
Write me at our National Office
address at top).
Best fraternal wishes,
(signed ANN BURLAK,
National Secretary.
