Reddish brown hair. Blue eyes. Large hands. In history, this is important. For, without his strong and healthy body, Washington could not have stood the hardships he went through as com mander-in-chie- f of the armies that won America its independence. Born of planter parents considered wealthy In those days, and Inheriting a landed estate, Washington was no idler. He fought his way into his tory by hard work. He was only 16 years old when he headed westward Into the wilderness as a surveyor. HOMEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922, He served as surveyor for three If we lived Jn a garden of flowers was But small.

The isurance would cover pedestrians Preserve Nitrates and persons in the car. Before the issue is decided there may be a hot fight in congress over the Muscle Shoals plan, but indications are that Henry Ford will win, and thrft the fertilizer trust will not be able. to offset the interest of the. farmer. Congress is apt to view the situation In the light of past performances, rather than in the light of promises for the of future the past performances Henry Ford and the past performances of the fertilizer ring. Belief is that if the Ford plan is accepted the farmers will get cheap fertilizer and if the Ford plan is rejected the farmers will get costly fertilizer, if this conviction prevails public opinion will do the rest. The secretary of war, Mr. Weeks, has been careful to point out that Ford is offering $",000,000 for two nitrate plants that as scrap are said to be worth $8.S12,OO0. and that if the Ford plan is .accepted congress must appropriate approximately $50,000,000 of which Ford will have the benefit for 100 years at 4 per cent.

It would be interesting to know how many hundreds of thousands of dollars If not millions it would cost the government to sell these nitrate plants as scrap. Uncle Sam conducts an expensive selling establishment as a rule. Someone said it used to cost about $100 to buy a bottle of ink for the shipping board before the order found its way through all the departments. The Important consideration is not the cash difference between the offered price and the price to be obtained for the plants as scrap. Scrapping of the plants would be criminal when they can be develop ed Into almoHt a national blessing. For centuries nitrates have been wasted in the air.
