Yorktown Sesquicentennial Forerutje. ^r^^J^q§hwgtoti Bicentennial M Celebration to Mark 150th Anniversary of American - Victory at Yorktown rjVE JTOCK Lllm NEWJ '^'•""Y'One of the important celebrations trtiich will precede the commemoration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of George Washington's .Birth 111 1932, "Will be the Yorktown* Sesquicentennial, to be observed in October 1931, in honor of the 150th anniversary of the surrender of Lord Cornwailis at Yorktown, Virginia. The sesquicentennial celebration of the British capitulation which virtually ended the Revolutionary War will be SB auspicious event in its own right, bat since the man who made the vietory at Yorktown possible in 1781 is also the one whose birthday is being commemorated next year, the two celebrations are closely associated The observance of the surrender of Cornwailis therefore may be looked upon as ft forerunner of the ten months ir'ation-wide George Washington Bicentennial Celebration. * When the British troops, commanded by Lord Cornwailis, marched out of Yorktown and laid down their arms after enduring bombardment from the' French and American batteries, the Revolutionary War was to all intents and purposes, over. The American victory over Cornwailis was most decisive, and although there was some desultory fighting after the British capitulation, the Yorktown triumph really ended the war. This important event with its far reaching effects was the result of the foresight, courage and perseverence of George Washington, and to him move' than any other man belongs the credit tot the American triumph. Representative S. 0. Bland of fffriia, secretary of the United State 3 Yorktown Sesquicentennial Commission, said in a speech beforev the House of Representatives: \ "The crowning event of Washington's military career was the victory which he won, at Yorktown. It proper that the commemoration of Washington's final military achievement which established this Nation shall be of such proportions as to correspond with the celebration? which will commemorate his birth." For this reason the Congress of thu United States created a national . commission to prepare a plan ami program in commemoration of the peige at Yorktown, and surrender of Lord Cornwailis, This commission -v consists of the following members: JVom the Senate, Claude A. Swanson, Virginia, chairman; David A. Reed, of Pennsylvania; Hiram Bingham, of Connecticut; John G. Townsend, of Delaware, and Robert F, Wagner, of New York. From the House of Representatives, Charles R, Crisp of Georgia, vice chairman; Robert L. Bacon, of New York; Roy , G. Fitzgerald, of Ohio; George R. Stobbs, of Massachusetts; and Joseph W. Byrns, of Tennessee. Representatives Schuyler Otis Bland of Virginia is secretary of the commission. The program ad outlined by this commission will include, in addition to other provisions to be made later, the marking of historical sites; the issuance of special commemorative posage stamps; the preparations of the grounds in the vicinity of Yorktown,1 and the invitation of all states in the1 union to participate in the exercises. I The commemorative program will be a four-day event to be held at! Yorktown. The feature will be an ad- j dress by the President of the United I States, which will take plaqp on the] opening day of the exercises. Among those who will be present on the oc-l casion will be distinguished officials' •of this and other governments, de-1 scendants of those who participated in the siege and many thousands of t visitors from all parts of the United . Slates. With the Yorktown Sesquicentennial Celebration only a few months away the plans for the event are rapidly reaching a conclusion. Like j the George Washington Bicentennial! Celebration this commemoration is not to be in the form of an exposition.' It will not celebrate what Americans can do now, but what our fathers did, to make possible the United States of the Twentieth Century. Its purposes I are entirely patriotic and will be in keeping with the eyent it signalizes. "Say J --, I am getting ready to clean house and want you to look over y**ur old stuff in the store room. I i have moved it the last time. What you1 don t want I am going to sell. How? A. classified ad in the Plaindealer will do the trick." "Hop to it." • Origiaal "Caucus" t The origin of the term "caucus" is traced back to the Caucus club of ! ftoston, organized during Revolutionary days. This club was composed \ •ialnly of persons engaged in shipbuilding. It, and the Merchants' club Of the same 'period, used to meet before elections and agree on candi- . dates for town and provincial offices : The word "caucus" is believed to I '•"!% corruption of "canlkers." t-- . • 1 -- jfcl&V Marvelous Jaw Power A ightlng lion caught in a noose > has been known to bite the thick rope b) an Instant and make away.

TO PLANT MILLIONS OF MEMORIAL TREES £l«n I« Feature of Waiting- ,> . ton Bicentennial. * New York.--Throughout the United States during this year and next, trees will be planted In greater numbers than ever before. Ten million memorial trees are to be the feature of the 1932 bicentennial of the birth of George Washington, who was himself one of the earliest and most ardent of tree lovers and tree planters. The commemorative planting began last autumn, when the first tree was set out in the grounds of the capitol at .Richmond, Va., by Governor Pollard, with ceremonies attended by representatives of the original thirteen tolonies. This spring millions of trees will take their places as memorials, many of them singly, others Ih splendid memorial avenues and In groves and forest plantings. To Be Dedicated In 1932. »,• The American Tree association Is urging that so far as possible all memorial trees shall be set out and registered this spring, so that living and growing trees may be dedicated In February, 1932. By setting . the trees out this year, planters wilr discount the probability of any dead or dying trees being dedicated, because where losses occur' replacements next fall will be possible. Civic organizations on Long Island are planting a memorial tree at every spot Washington is known to have visited. m In every state the patriotic societies, the Boy and Girl Scouts, civic bodies and other organizations are carrying out group plans, and are urging every citizen to plant individually a memorial tree. It is urged that every such tree shall be registered with the American Tree association. Each tree will be recorded and the records filed for permanent preservation with the existing records of other historic trees, in a nation honor roll of trees. A pamphlet giving information as to registration and instructions for planting has been prepared and will be sent for return postage by Miss Grace Tabor, thirteenth floor, 250 Park avenue, New _ Yoi k city. "Every region *f this continent has. o> had, its characteristic tree::," says Miss Tabor in the Woman's Home Companion. "George Washington chose from his own forests practically all the tqees which »he disposed around the grounds or park at Mount Vernon on the Potomac, having them dug up as young saplings and planted at the spots appointed by him. Later he added trees which came to him as souvenirs from friends in all parts of the world. "There were also many specimens grown from seeds brought back by Washington from battlefields, since ft was his custom to pick up as he strode along an acorn or two or a handful of beechnuts, hickories, walnuts, horsechestnuts and so on, and take these home and plant them. But nothing dominated the splendor of the trees originally brought from the forests, and Mount Vernon today is dominated by these. Douglas Spruce Popular. "Certain civic organizations are recommending the planting of the Douglas spruce for Washington memorials. This Is Regarded as appropriate because it is an evergreen tree that is at home over the length and breadth of the land, even though It la native to the western regions only. Moreever, it is recognized all over the world as characteristically American. It transplants well and is of exceptional beauty, alike in form, color or foliage and in the decorative Quality of its ruddy cones." Generally speaking, evergreen trees are not everywhere as suitable for memorial plantings as are deciduous treea But where they can be appropriately used they are recommended by the Tree association as.desirable. The pines have a special tradition associated with them, for It was the belief of primitive peoples that the first tree to rise from the bosom of the earth was the pine. Among many races it stands as the symbol «C eternal life. COMPARE PROTEIN FEEDS FOR SWINE Alfalfa Jlay Produced More Rapid Gains. When corn, tankage, linseed ollmeal and alfalfa hay w#re compared at the Michigan Agricultural college for winter pig feeding, it was found that: 1. Alfalfa hay produced somewhat more rapid gains and required considerably less feed for 100 pounds gain than did alfalfa meal or linseed oilmeal when each was fed with shelled corn, tankage and minerals. ¥ 2. Alfalfa meal made practically the same dally gains, but required somewhat more feed for 100 pounds' gain than did linseed': ©ilmeai, when each lot was fed shelfc& corn, tankage and minerals. 3. The addition of Unseed ollmeal to a mixture of tankage and alfalfa meal or alfalfa hay produced somewhat less rapid gains and raised the feed requirements slightly when each mixture was fed with shelled corn, tankage and minerals. 4. The addition of alfalfa hay to tankage and linaeed ollmeal when each combination was fed with shelled corn and minerals Increased the gains somewhat and reduced the feed requirements for 100 pounds of gain. 5. Alfalfa hay with tankage and linseed oilmeal made approximately larger gains and required considerably less feed for the gains produced than did alfalfa meal with tankage and lln- •seed ollmeal when each was fed with shelled com and minerals. V* Make Good Preparation for Arrival of Lambs Lambs will be coming very soon and the farmer should make preparation well in advance for the little sheep babies. Clean out the sheds and bed them well with clean, dry straw. Cover the cracks in the walls so there will be no drafts, let the ewes go and come at will up to 140 days after you turned the ram with theta. About the one hundred and forty-fifth day you should get your first lamb. Sheep vary in the gestation period about the least of any live stock. The little Iambs will stand a Surprising amount of cold if they come strong and the mother ewe is attentive and has a full udder. To a considerable extent the shepherd can control this feature by the care given the flock. L* \71:e:i u toils ma his ewes have no r.'.ill: nr.d the lambs are weak, I alw!>. vs tliiak they were poorly fed, and whil'e i'.ie amount i::.iy have been sufficient It could hardly be of the correct material, says a writer In an exchange. Ewes can be mkde fat on corn and corn fotlJer and yet have weak lamb- and n-> udder--when you starve the ewe you likewise starve the Iamb. Once more good breeders are good feeders, but not always are good feeders good breeders. It sounds the same but means quite different. X -H:r Indifference Is Craal The worst sin toward our fellowcreatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them. That's the essence of inhumanity.--Shaw. Fresh Air Is Cheapest Thing in Stock Ration The cheapest thing in the ration for all live stock is fresh air. It con* tributes to the income from milk and meat as surely as does liberal feeding of a complete ration. But this doesn't mean fresh air should come into the barn through cracks or open doors. It should come in by means of a well-designed ventilating system which at the same time removes the stale, moisture-laden air. A dairy cow breathes out ten pounds of wat^r in 24 hours. A good ventilating system requires good wall construction to hold heat in. There must be stoppage of all openings where passage of air Is not wanted, and insulation to prevent escape of heat Neglect insulation and your ventilation system wlU be faulty, your feed bills will be higher, your profits will be lower. 35 Syrian Bandits Are Killed in Border Fight Jerusalem.--The long period of disagreement over the frontier between Syria and Turkey has led to alarming outbreaks of lawlessness and banditry in the disputed region. The latest series of crimes committed by a notorious gang in the Nirsibin district near the border led the Syrian gendarmerie to organize a systematic search for'tie bandits. The expedition met them and a pitched.battle resulted. The bandits were routed, leaving behind 35 killed and many wounded. Only a few escaped. The corpses of the dead gangsters were exposed in the public square at Mardin as a grim warning to other bandits in the country. Woman Dentist in Ohio p Has Practiced 73 Years Pietneroy, Ohio.--Dr. Amy L. Whatey, believed to be the oldest practicing woman dentist in America, recently celebrated her ninety-second birthday. She passed the state dental examination in 1857 and when her husband. Dr. David C. Whaley, died in 1913, she took charge of his business. Docitor Whaley employs a registered denj tlst, a laboratory expert, and an office i assistant, but she personally supervises all work.

Let them have free access to both hay and minerals. • • • Oats Is considered the best grain for colts, but corn or barley may be used in the ration If properly balanced with nitrogenous feeds, such as linseed oil meal or wheat bran.
