Purine the wnr and during his presidency he visited the place occasionally, but only for a few days at a time. Some delightful glimpses Into thin hnppy home life are given by Paul Wllsrach In "Mount Vernon." published by Doubleday, I'uge & Co. WHEN Ooorge Washington became master of the Virginia mansion It was not nearly so large as It Is to day, for he built the banquet hall on the north, the library on the south, the third story, the verandas, colonnades, piazza and tower, the great "barn and many of the other outbuildings, be- I sides laying out and planting, the gur- dens. It was not until after his marriage ; to "the charming widow," Martha Dan- drldge Custls, In 1759, that the family life really began. With Mrs. Washington came the two children of her former marriage, Mar- , tha and John Parker Cuatls. "These four were the nucleus of a busy and extensive life on the estate.

At three dinner was on the table, nnd we were shown by the general Into an other room, where everything wns set off with a peculiar tnste, and at the same time very neat and plain. The general sent the bottle about pretty freely after dinner, and gnve success to the navigation of the Potomac for his toasts, which he has very much at heart. . . ." "We had a very elegant supper about that time. The general with a taw giusses of champagne got quite merry-, und being with his intimate friends, laughed and talked 11 good deal. Before strangers b l! 1 nerally very reserved, anil seldom says a word . . . At twelve I li.i I the honor of being lighted up to my bedroom by the general himself. . . .

For a good many years The American Tobacco Company have been conducting a series of experiments having as their object the improvement of smoking tobacco, V And it is interesting to know that one of the greatest of their discoveries was one of the simplest, and that was, that cooking or toasting tobacco improved it in every way, just aa cooking most foods improves them. They took a real Burley tobacco, grown in that country; toasted it as you would lOMl bread; moistened it to replace the natural moisture driven off by toasting; made it into cigarettes, . called them "LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette." and oiteied them to the public The result has been the greatest demand ever created for any tobacco product in a similar length of time. The change produced by toasting' is not only most wholeMiine, but the flavor is greatly unproved, just as cooking improves meat, for example. i r t m India!

After breukfnst he rode out on one of his horses to overlook the laborers on the various farms Into which he divided Mount Vernon estate, and returned, according to Custll, 'punctual us the huud of a clock, at a quarter to three . . . und retired to his room to dress, us was his cus tom.'

Men are wanted everywhere. The work of this war is being carried on largely by those who never before have been in public office or in put lie work. Men who have been too busy, or too engrossed with their own tasks, are leaving their work to others and giving their time and ability to the cause which is ours, yours, everybody's. It is a time when politics of the ordinary sense must not be considered. It calls for all the ability that can be mustered. Oregon, to he a successful part in this unit plan for the defense of D'mociacy, must likewise place the thought of the times before everything. In another part of this ptper appears the announce ment of L. J, Simpson, us a candidate for the nomination for Governor on the Republican ticket. Mr. Simpson was urged to bt come a candidate by his many friends in every part of the state, beCAUM of his business raoord, his under standing and knowledge of Oregon's recources, industries and needs; because of his public-spiritedness, which of re cent years has led h'm to tasks which have been more im portant than his own afTuirg. L. J. Simpson is clearly the man who can give Oregon the administration necessary to this plan of National Ffficienc . His campaign will be directed straight to you H voters, as individual! who do your own thinking. We are firmly convinced that you will not allow pol ities to influence your decision, and that you will vote for the man who is best lit to help the people of Oregon, develop the state's vast resources, and to prepare fur, and participate in, the great reconstruction that is to follow. We believe you will weigh issues mure closely than ever before, and that L J. Simpson will be yuur choice.
