The famous place of worship has been redecorated and renovated to conform with the fashions prevailing in 1764-6- , when St. Paul's was built by McBean. When the British evacuated the city after the surrender at Yorktown nearly all of the decorations that Indicated an English affiliation were torn out of the chapel. Every royal emblem, every reminder of the connection with Great Britain, was removed with the exception of d the badge of Hie he.ir apparent of the English "throne surmounting the pulpit. The heir apparent then beanie George IV In 1811. Through some neglect his emblem was left In its original place and for years It was the subject of curious questions. This heraldic badge of the prince of Wales survived many periods of decoration when other ancient embellLsh-aient- s were removed. Now many of these decorations have been returned to their former positions. But the British "atmosphere" has not been brought back. Only the Colonial fixtures used when, George Washington was President of the United States have kept their places In the old church. It was there that he worshiped for many years. His four-skie- d pew, always interesting to patriotic pilgTlms, Is on the Vesey street aisle. It Is marked by a large-size- d painting of the shield of the United States of America. Opposite, on the Fulton street aisle, a similar pew, nsed by De Witt Clinton when he was governor of New York, Is Identified with a painting of the New York shield. It was In St. Paul's that George Washington received holy communion after his Inauguration in 1789 as In lower Broadway three-feathere- years. There was also a French church. But St. Paul's knew the Tory-Patristruggles preceding and during the Revolution. At its back, in what became Chatham street and then Park row, had been the jail, the bridewell, the gallows, covered with a Chinese kiosk; the pillory, stocks and, in a little group of trees, the whipping post (according to Martha J. Lamb). The war drums have sounded many times since the cornerstone was laid in 1704. Troops have marched past to battle with a song on their lips. The entire interior has been renovated. In the process some ancient relics came to light. One was a massive chandelier that formerly hung in the middle of the church. This chandelier, found in sections in the attic over the organ loft, was fitted with modern improvements and replaced to its former position. Ecclesiastical vessels, documents and small furniture were unearthed from the litter of more than a century. In its simple dress of former years St. Faul's, the only remaining church edifice In Manhattan with a history begun before the American revolution, Is expected to reawaken In lou'er Broadway Colonial associations preserved chiefly by Bowling green, Fraunces tavern, the last home of President Monroe, and the architecture of City hall. Started Washington on Pathway l Fame In the- English colonic In America the presence of the French west of the Alleghenies was considered a trespass of one nation upon another's land, says the Detroit News. The notion was that the French, having slipped Into what did not belong to them, ought to be turned out. So some influential Virginians, two of tliem brothers of George Washington, secured a grant of 000,000 acres of land on the Ohio river, with the purpose of selling It These associates called themselves the Ohio company. Before taking any decisive steps It was thought best to go through the empty form of warning off the intruders. This would make a national question of It. A summons to depart was therefore drawn up and George Washington, a young Virginia planter, wholly unknown to fame Thackeray calls him "a road surveyor at a guinea a day" was chosen hy Governor Dinwiddle as mes.sen,cr. The young soldier promptly accepted the trust, and on October 30, 17.".1, he set out from Williamsburg for the far frontier and undying fame.

TIMES-NEW- Washington. Stay Just as you are. Don't expand. . That was the advice given to the farmers of the country by the United States Department of Agriculture in its important forecast of farm conditions for 1926. Despite the present corn belt suffering and the wave of farm collapses since the war, "the farming industry is now in the best general condition since 1920, the department said. However, any general increases in crops would tend to place the farmers in a less favorable economic position than at present, it warned. Neither . foreign nor domestic demand for farm products will increase it said. In fact, there may be a decreased demand. Farm wages will remain at least as high as they are, the department said. Neither will the cost of farm equipment descend. Discussing the prospects of the major crops, the department said: "A slightly smaller world crop of wheat is indicated, with world stock at the beginning of the new crop year not burdensome. Domestic stocks are likely to be smaller. "Corn acreage the same as in 1925 with average market yields, will be sufficient to meet feeding and commercial requirements as fully as in 1925. If last year's oats acreage is maintained, relatively low prices are likely to continue, unless yields are greatly reduced. out"The immediate and long-timlook for cattle is favorable. A reasonably constant demand for beef is anThe number of steers is ticipated. the lowest in many years, but present breeding stocks are apparently large enough to supply as much beef as it w'ill pay cattle producers to raise. "The outlook for the hog industry appears favorable, with prices maintained at high levels. "Indications are that 1926 will be a good year for the sheep industry, and further increases in production may be undertaken profitably in some sections." e MAY LOSE PROPERTY People To Voite On Expropriation and Thus Lessen Heavy Burden Berlin. For the first time In German history the people themselves will be called on to give the verdict in a political lawsuit. The word "political" means here that the case must be important for all citizens. All German men and women over 20 are to answer the question whether the real and personal property of the princes who were dethroned in 1918 shall be expropriated, without indemnification, for lessening the poverty cf the German masses. What the property involved amounts to is indicated by the fact that William Von Hohenzollern demands one billion marks (about $210,000,000) and the Duke of demands, in addition to great personal property, 170.000 morgen (about 110,-00acres) of the best quality land, with palaces, hotels, summer resorts, hundreds of houses, etc. Such figures here are only two cases of at least twenty show that the conflict affects all citizens and the whole nation., Nevertheless, four parties in the government desire to ovoid a plebiscite and they have proposed the formation of a special court which will decide all questions and shall particularly furnish a gurantee that the princes will not use property given them for fighting the republican form of government. a 0 by Orson P. Madsen, county agent it was decided that the eradication of three principal weeds that are gaining a foothold In the county would be one of the chief projects tc be undertaken in 1926 by the farmers of this section.

The company purchased the Utah surplus honey handled by this association for the past two years, and the fact that it has purchased the third crop tells of the high regard with which it views the Utah product.

Utah crop values Increased $16,500,000 In 1925 over 1924 according to the report of the U. department of agriculture through the Utah statistician, Frank Andrews. The report lists hay, grain, potatoes and sugar beets as the big producers of crop income for the state during 1925 with pears returning the least. Total values for 1924 were $32,915,-0- 0 as against $49,G05,00 for 1925. Ogden. W. S.
