Washington and George IIL
One of the most important letters
of George Washington ever offered
for sale in Great Britain was sold in
London a few years ago for $900. It
is three pages quarto, is dated “Mount
Vernon, Feb. 5, 1789,” and is address-
ed to Samuel Powell. In it Washing-
ton refers to George III's first attack
of madness, saying: “Be the cause
of the British king’s insanity what it
may, his situation (if alive) merits
commiseration. Better, perhaps,
would it have been for his nation,
though not for ours (under present
prospect) if the event had happened
at the time.” The letter was written
the day after Washington was elect-
ed the first President of the United
States.

HAT BOTHERED “UNCLE JOE”
Veteran Legislator Objected to “Plug,”
But Was Finally Persuaded to
Don It Temporarily.
In 1901 Representative Cannon was
living at the Cochran hotel, and the
evening before the inauguration, L.
White Busbey, now his private secre-
tary, but at that time correspondent
of the Chicago Inter Ocean, entered
Mr. Cannon’s room at the hotel and
found the venerable legislator standing
before a mirror and swearing over a -
plug hat with which he was practic-
ing.
“I tell you I won't wear the d—n
thing,” ejaculated Uncle Joe explosive-
1y.
I won’t begin now.”
“But, Mr. Cannon,” suggested Bus-
bey amiably, “if you don’t wear it you
will attract more attention in the
parade than the president, and you
don’t want to do that.”
“How’s that?” snapped Uncle Joe.
“I never wore one in my life and

In the absence of Rev. W. J. Shultz
on Sunday last the pulpits on the Zi-

R. Hughes, of the Bellefonte Acade-
my. A large audience was present at
Snydertown in the evening and all en-
joyed the sermon. Rev. Shultz was
absent as supply at the Jersey Shore
Lutheran church, which is vacant at
present.
On Thursday of last week Mr. A.
B. Beck took the train for J ackson-
ville, Florida, to visit his son, John D.
Beck, who is in charge of a large stock
farm near that place. The farm 1s
owned by a Mr. Logan and is stocked
with several hundred head of Aber-
deen Angus cattle, all full blooded.
The herd drew a number of prizes at
the recent Florida state fair. Mr.
Beck expects to spend some time in
that State.
The farmers’ institute at Hublers-
burg last Friday is said to have been
quite a success. Those who were
present’ enjoyed the sessions Very
much. The trouble with most farm-
ers today is they know more ‘than con-
ditions enable them to put into prac-
tice, and the more vital point of get-
ting their share of the dollars for
what they now raise. There are too
many leaks between the producer and
the consumer.

suffered a stroke of apoplexy from
which he did not recover. Mr. :
spent his boyhood days and youth in

journeyed to Ohio and located at
Niles. He was engaged in selling and
installing milling machinery for many
years and was well known over a
large territory. Burial was made at
Niles on Tuesday of this week. ]
Public sales will soon begin and
then will come the annual spring flit-

the collapse of the town. He refused
‘to sell his cotton at the prevailing
price. Having insufficient funds to
pay the country merchant, the latter
could not pay his account with the
fertilizer makers, who dispose of their
product through him. Then the fer-
tilizer companies cancelled their con-
tracts with the potash makers, leaving
two of these so far out on a financial
limb that in order to hold their prop-
erties together they had to go into
bankruptcy. They hope to reopen
when the financial situation enables
the fertilizer companies to resume
buying.
The Nebraska potash lakes, during
the period of the war, yielded richer
dividends than most gold mines. Ger-
many, the sole source of supply, be-
ing cut off, the fertilizer makers bid
against each other and ran the price
up to where 50 per cent. a month was
earned by the first company. One
ranchman, who made a favorable con-
tract with the second company in the
field, enjoyed a royalty of $1000 a day
for nearly two years. The richest find
was in a lake on a ranch that the
homesteader, a rancher, refused to
prove his own because the lake was
brackish and his cattle wouldn’t drink
it. It was the potash that made the
water undrinkable. The companies
now in trouble got going just when
the war ended.
Washington’s Flag.
A valuable and interesting relic of
George Washington now on exhibition
at the Valley Forge Museum of Amer-
ican History is Washington’s head-
| quarter’s flag. His marquee was pur-
chased by the museum after having
been exhibited for years in the Na- |
tional museum at Washington. It was
‘his first headquarters flag and was
used by him throughout the war of !
the Revolution. |
Now through the courtesy of Miss
| Frances B. Lovell, a descendant of |
' Betty Lewis, the sister of Washing- |
ton, the flag of the commander in chief |
of the armies of the patriots is exhib- |
ited with the famous war tent. Eo
For years the flag was a treasured:|
heirloom in Miss Lovell’s family, and |
few knew of its existence. Upon her
father’s death she became its owner. '
It was known to the family as “Wash-
ington’s headquarters flag.” |
“That it is the unidentified flag of
Peale’s portraits there can be no
doubt,” said the Rev. W. Herbert |
Burk, founder of the Valley Forge mu-
seum, who obtained the treasured rel-
ic. “The flag of one picture,” says the
Rev. Mr. Burk, “it a blue jack with *
thirteen stars. The flag now in the
" museum is a light blue silk jack with
thirteen stars, the blue faded and the
stars yellow. with age.” |
The flag is thirty-six inches: long
and twenty-eight inches wide. The |
heading is of homespun linen, with
three eylets worked with thread. The
‘stars are six pointed, double stitched,
The stars are not arranged in
but in lines following the.
"crosses of the British flag, which the
Rev. Mr. Burk said, seems to have
{ been the earlier arrangement.

A BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION,
Keeping the system in perfect
shape is the real secret of a beautiful
complexion. Blood that is rich and
pure is bound to show in the color of
the skin.
Bulgarian style blood tea was intro-
duced in this country many years ago
by H. H. Von Schlick, of Pittsburgh,
Pa., and today is used by millions of
happy people who realize its wonder-
ful power as a health regulator.
Bulgarian Blood Tea is mildly laxa-
tive and assists nature to remove the
poisons that pollute the blood. For
constipation, biliousness, headaches,
torpid liver and weak kidneys it is
one of the best home remedies known
to the world today.
Every member of the family should
use Bulgarian Blood Tea to break up
a bad cold and guard against influen-
za, grippe or pneumonia; just take it
steaming hot at “edtime. Your drug-
gist will be glad to supply you with
this grand system regulator. Physi-
cians highly recommend it. 66-7

Burning Coal Dust.
The enterprises of one motorcar
manufacturer extend even to the own-
ership of mines in West Virginia,
from which he digs coal for his motor-
car factory.
In the plant at River Rouge, Mich.,
eight enormous boilers are being in-
stalled for furnaces which will burn
pulverized coal and gas simultaneous-
ly. This will be accomplished by fir-
ing the coal vertically from the top
and injecting the gas horizontally
through the side of the furnace, the
coal flame and gas flame uniting at
the proper point for greatest efficiency.
These furnaces will burn 1,000 tons
of coal per day, and. from the time
the coal leaves the mines in West Vir-
ginia until its residue is carried away
as ashes, it will not be touched by hu-
man hands. All requisite operations

back ache and severe pains through
my kidneys. I had headaches and
dizzy spells, when I first got up in the
morning and my kidneys acted irreg-
ularly. My attention was called to
Doan’s Kidney Pills and I heard of so
many being benefitted by their use
| that I procured a box at the Green
{ Pharmacy Co. That one box removed
the backache. The headaches and diz-
zy spells left and my kidneys became
regular and I felt better in every way.
I cheerfully recommend Doan’s to
| anyone who suffers as I did.” (State-
ment given October 19, 1918).
On October 18, 1919, Mrs. Thal
