U I cans George Washington is
justly held to be the purest
figure in history a superb ex-
ample of the perfect citizen a just
and righteous ruler and "a light for
after time."
This commanding personality had
a magnificent physique. He stood
over six feet in his stockings, was re
markable for horsemanship, agility
and strength the finest gentleman
and athlete of his day.
His constitution was of iron and
he knew how to keep it so. His bi
ographers declare that in eating and
in drinking as in all things he was
normal; enjoying the juice of the malt
all the days of his life. He drank it
around campf ires, as well as in his
own home and upon social and state
occasions.
Furthermore, upon his Mount
Vernon plantation he had a brew
house, as was the regular custom of
wealthy Virginians.

WATER II

The long drawn out and extremely
edlous water, suits conducted at the
county court house before Referee
lanna for the past several weeks, are
tearing the end. Today, after a
lhort recess, the testimony was again
esumed when the La Grande Irrlga
lon company presented Its first tes-
Imony. Aside from this one, there
ire only two defendants left: the May
'ark Water company and the May
r.rk Ditch company. When the tes
Imony for these two firms and the
ne now under hearing, are Intro
luced, the record-breaking hearing
vlll come to an end. The attorneys In
the case are weary with their 4ask.
Day after day, the hearing has been
going on and naturally much of the
testimony Is rehash. However, the
students of Blackstone have a little
njoyment. When temporary recesses
ire taken, attorneys and spectators
ire grilled on statement No. 1 and
ither topics and questions of much
magnitude.
