"5i> S.i4?,>y§« iilij Alexander Hamilton's ft •• f: -V- 2 Achievements Recalled First Secretary ojf the Treasurer Led Fight for Strong Centralized Government It is given to but few men to impress their individuality indelibly upon the history of a great nation, but Alexander Hamilton achieved even more than this. In calling attention to the 174th anniversary of his birthday on "January 11, 1931, the Division of Information and Publication of the George Washington Bicentennial Commission points out the extraordinary versatility of the man whom Chief Justice Marshall ranked next to George Washington in importance during those critical years of our history. The senseless sacrifice of this brilliant man, -who was killed in a duel -by Aaron Burr, caused an outburst of bitter and indignant grief among men of all parties throughout the nation, that has seldom been equaled in the. history of the country. Alexander Hamilton was born, as a British subject, on the island of Nevis, in the West Indies, on January 11, 1757. At the age of 12, following his father's bankruptcy and his mother's death, he was thrown upon the care of maternal relatives at St. Croix, where he entered the counting house 6f Nicholas Cruger. In 1772 friends, impressed by his astonishing poise and maturity of mind, made it possible for him to go to New York to continue his education. Arriving there the autumn of that year, he prepared for college at Elizabethtown, N. J., and in 1774 entered King's College, now Columbia University, in New York City.- His studies were interrupted by the Revolution. A visit to Boston seems to have thoroughly confirmed the conclusion, to which reason had already led him, that he should cast his fortunes with "the patriots rather than with the Tories. Into the cause he threw himself with ardor. Early in 1776 the New York convention ordered a company of artillery to be raised. Hamilton applied for, the command and his examination quickly dispelled doubts of his fitness in those who suspected mere youthful presumption. The artillery company quickly qhowed the talent of its commander, who, by his proficiency and bravery in the campaign of 1776 around New York City, won the admiration of Generals Washington and Greene. Hamilton shared in the brilliant campaign of Trenton and Princeton and so distinguished-himself as a dashing and gallant officer that, although he was barely twenty years old> Washington appointed him his Aide-de- Camp with the rank of Lieutenant- Colonel. Hamilton, despite his other remark, able abilities, Was unusually ambitious for military glory--an ambition he never lost. As a member of Washington's staff his duties were various and highly responsible, but he longed for the field and'firing line with an independent command. In February 1781, he seized a slight reprimand administered by Washington as an excuse lor abandoning his staff position and later secured a field command, through Washington, and won laurels at Yorktown, where he led his column in the final assault against the British works. Whether «s a soldier, lawyer or OLD-FASHIONED HOG LOSES OUT statesman, he was a master in every field that he entered.^ Hamilton, beyond a doubt, had. an inborn genius for finance, and was beyond question a pioneer in what has since become the most important department of practical government. He founded the financial system of the United States and converted the barren clauses of the Constitution into a living organism. When he became Secretary of the Treasury, he found there was a great mass of work to be done in organizing the collecting and disbursing force throughout the country. Congress immediately submitted to him a number of queries and problems for solution, and there came forth from hid pen a succession of papers that have left their strong imprint on the administrative organization of the national government. • ' ^ Among them were two reports on the public credit, upholding an ideal of national honor higher .than theprevalent popular principles; a report on manufactures, advocating their encouragement; a report favoring the establishment of a national bank, the arguments being based on "implied powers" in the Constitution and on the applications that Congress can do anything that can be made, through the«medium of money, to subserve the "•general welfare" of the United States. Hamilton's doctrines, through judicial interpretation, have revolutionized the Constitution. The success of his financial measures were immediate and remarkable. Hamilton's plan, to establish a na*i tional bank resembling in great measure the Bank of England, aroused, as great an interest in Congress as the proposal to assume ihe State debts had brought forth. The project was finally passed by both Houses in practically the form' that Hamilton had suggested and came before Presi- j dent Washington for approval ,on February 14, 1791. So heated had been the debates m the House on the c o n s t i t u t i o n a l i t y of: a United States banlf, that the Presi- j dfent felt doubts as to the power of! Gongress to incorporate such an insti-' fution. He called upon his four cabi- • net members for their opinions. Ham., ilton, and Knox, Secretary of War, i favored the bank; Jefferson and Ran-! dolph, Attorney General, opposed. Hamilton, Jefferson and Randolph submitted written reports to the Presi- j dent. * i Those written by Jefferson and I Hamilton remain to this day among; the most important expositions of our' constitutional law and practice. Hamilton's arguments convinced Washington of the constitutional propriety of the measure, which he approved on February 25, 1791. The subscription books were opened on July 4, following, and within two hours, the whole capital was subscribed for; and mahy person^ who had hoped to buy stock found themselves left out. Never in the course of history has there been so immediate and permanent a financial foundation laid for any country's prosperity as that which was built by Hamilton, the men of the First Congress and President Washington. Feeder Should Select Breed 4^' Be Likes Best CANINES HAVE DAY; WIN HERO MEDALS Usually the best breed of hogs for any one man Is the breed that he likes best. It ts the type of the individual hog of « breed thjit Is mor«. important than the breed Itself, explains J. P. Will man of the New York State College of Agriculture. Thirty or more .rears ago the wtJe thick, "short'bodied, short-legged type showing extreme refinement were In demand. Sotre still prefer this type, but It has been replaced by a type that has proved more profitable. The old-fashioned pig took too long to reach market weight, Mr. Wlliman says. The present-day type of hog has length Oj. body, long legs, and large but net coarse bone. It should have in addition good depth and capacity of the chest and middle to Insure constitutional vigor and good feeding qualities. Tbr long, deep-bodied, some what leggy type of sows produce and raise good Utters. A!so th/ long, somewhat narrow-bodied, leggy, weanling pig with plenty of bone -makes rapid and economical gains. The type can easily be carried too far, however, and develop the "gun barrel" type of hog. Sometimes the rangy boar lr criticized, but usr ' he will sire the kind of pigs that will get to the market before the average run of pigs and prove profitable to the feeder.

Remember the story of the dog that stayed with his tiny mistress all night when she was lost in the woods, guarding her till her parents came for her? Then, of course, there are the Innumerable stories of the faithful do$i which have saved their masters' lives. Recently a group of grateful mistresses and masters came to bear'testimony for their dogs' heroism and, incidentally, to gather In silver medals. The New York Anti-Vivisection society celebrated Animal Hero day and decorated dogs, regardless of pedigree or background, who have shown understanding, courage or intelligence. On the stage of the Union auditorium there sal; golden haired Irene Nagel, with her big St. Bernard, Champion, forming . a proper background. •Illy and His Poodla.

For more than an hour his family searched the attic, at.the neighbors*--in fact, everywhere but in the ice box. And It remained for Tweedy to find his master and stand ^here barking' till they let hira out. There were many other tales--testimonials of Daisy's or Beauty's faithfulness. But It was the dogs who could perform tricks who got tjie most applause--and. Incidentally, medals, too. Rex, who started life as a mongrel terrier but who has come up In' the world, now being a star In the movies, was brought to the show by Dr. Ellas Bier, who picked him np several years ago In the streets and has trained him in the art of being amusing. Rex prayed, walked, played dead, and gave imitations of a soldier coming hack from war. "Talks'* Self Into Mtdalv ^ Princes Jacqueline, a dtontrmttfie Boston bull terrier, whose owner.

Their feet are not adapted for crawling on halm any mora than those of a dog for dlmb ing trees.

Old Romance, Dormurt / 45 Years, Rekindled Memphis, Tenn.--A romance which thrived 45 years ago and then was "dormant until recently has resulted In the marriage of a Memphis artist and a widow who was his childhood sweetheart In the early eighties. The couple was married recently in Kalamazoo, Mich., and Is^Msr honeymooning in the South. The romance was reopened when Frank L. Van Ness, slxty-four-year-old artist, former newspaper man and painter, visited in Michigan. The visitor was mentioned In the columns of the Paw Paw Courier-Northerner. Believing it was her former sweetheart, Mrs. Rose Sllter, sixty-two, widowed and the mother of three children, wrote Van Ness from her home In Kalamazoo. Van Ness replied |n person and shortly afterward the cotipla announced their engagement. New Canadian Nickel Is Called "Devil's Quarter" Washago, Ont.--The new Canadian five-cent piece, of a nickel alloy and of the same size as the American nickel, is not universally popular In Canada. Unlike the old five-cent coin, which Is sliver and slightly smaller than both the American and Canadian ten-cent pieces, the new nickel is often mistaken for a quarter. But so far as is known D. H. Church Is the fifst person to condemn the new coin as "the devil's quarter." Speaking at a meeting of the combined parishes here recently. Church said that i It was time to sound a note of warning against the practice of putting large nickels on the collection plate in church in the hope that they would be mistaken for twentj-five-cent pieces. Cackling Sea Turtles Found by Old Mariner Sarasota, Fla.--A species of enormous sea turtle that "cackles" when It lays Its eggs has been discovered by Capt Clarence Roberts, veteran Sarasota pilot The "cackle," he said, sounds like a cross between the grunt of an alligator and the ear splitting cries of the manatee, or sea cow. These turtles, the captain reports, grow to enormous size and are found on the sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. They lay their eggs just above high water. Captain Roberts has gathered turtle eggs for years. Ileum «f Progress Chat we can do anything for "««*»' selves, by ourselves, Is one of our illusions.
