MEMBER THE WASHINGTON BICEN TENNIAJL (Autocaster Service) TWO. hundred years ago next month, on February 11, 1732, a son was born to Augustine Wash ington, a prosperous planter of Wakefield, Westmoreland County, Virginia. This year we are cele brating the two hundredth anni versary of the birth of George Washington, because the calendar system of the English-speaking world was changed in 1756, by drop ping eleven days, we now celebrate Washington's birthday on February 22nd instead of February 11th. . But this whole year will be given over to commemorating the Father of this country. Everybody who can possibly afford to do so ought to make a visit to the city of Wash ington, and the nearby home of George Washington, Mt Vernon, as well as to his birthplace farther down the Potomac River, at some time or other during the year. It is our feeling that no true Ameri can can really get the spirit of America without visiting our na tional capital and seeing the his toric mementos of the great leader who made our nation possible. The very clothes that Washing ton wore are on exhibition in the National Museum in Washington. In the great memorial building on Shooter's Hill in Alexandria erect ed by the Masonic Order as a mem orial to Washington, may be seen the apron he wore and the gavel he wielded as Master of Friendship Lodge. In Alexandria still stands the school which he built and for which he left an endowment in his will, while the very streets of the city are a memorial, for he was the young surveyor who laid them out St John's Church, in which he was a vestryman, is open to vis itors who are privileged to sit in the pew which Washington occu pied, while back from Mt Vernon is the little country church at Po hick which he attended in his ear lier years. Mt Vernon itself stands almost as Washington left it, with much of the furniture which he used. Any time of the year is a good time to visit Washington. The city named for the great revolutionary leader grows more beautiful year by year and easier to get to from any part of the country. Even if you can spare no time or money for any other holiday in 1932 by all means we hope every one of our readers will find a way to pay at least a brief visit to Washington. MORE HOMES NEEDED. Autocaster Service, IT is an encouraging sign of the times that so much attention is being given by the Federal Gov ernment and by the great financial aHmae-H sat-gg-e Sunday School n Lesson n n International 8 an day School Lesson for January 3. THE SON OF GOD BECOMES MAST. John 1:1-18 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. Another five-year cycle of study begins with this lesson. During 1932 we have three months with the Life of Christ based on John's Gospel, six months with Genesis and the Era of Moses, and a closing quarter on "Christian Standards of Life." Especially helpful volumes for the year are "Peloubet's Select Notes," Tarbell's "Teacher's Guide," and Snowden's "Sunday School Lessons." Vest pocket compendi ums are "Gist of the Lesson," Wells, and "Points for Emphasis," Moore. You will wish to read the com plete record as found in the four gospels. A "Harmony of the Gos pels" is especially useful throughout the course. Matthew and Luke give the details that are related to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. But John goes still further back in time when he says "In the begin ning was the Word." Here Is a di rect reference to the eternal exis tence of the Second Person in the Trinity, the Son-Christ (Messiah). John is then introduced. This is the son of Zacharias and Elisabeth. He is known as John the Baptist and Is not to be confused with John the beloved disciple who wrote the Gospel we are now studying. In Luke 1 you will find fascinating details that are related to the birth of this really Old Testament char acter, who is styled the Forerunner of the Messiah. Sublime activities are attributed to this Son of God. He had His major part in creation during the loner airo. The purpose of His earthly ministry was to provide a way of salvation ior suum man; "But as many as received Him, to them gave He the right to become Children of God," John 1:12. 2 1Qeooifti jtjitfxj Institutions to the subject of home building. According to those who keep track of such things, the country, as a whole, is five or six years behind its normal home building program. Young folks continue to grow up and get mar ried and to desire homes of their own, and in almost every part of the country there is a shortage of available modern houses. The big problem is how to finance home building, but if the national plans which are now being developed work out there is going to be plen ty of money available for those who wish to own their own homes but do not wish to pay an excessive price for mortgage money. It is possible today for any one who has a steady job, or an income that can be relied upon, to build a comfortable modern house by pay ing in more than a quarter of the total vale of the house and lot and spreading the rest of the payment over a term of from ten to fifteen vears. That is always a safe in vestment The would-be home owners who get into trouble are us ually those who try to build a home on a smaller personal investment than 25 percent of the cost And there never was a better time to build than now, when all sorts of building materials are cheaper than they have been for many years, and there is ample labor available at reasonable wages. Once the program of home build ing gets under way, it will do more than anything else to revive busi ness generally. It will make busi ness for the manufacturers of plumbing, lighting and heating sup plies, of lumber, brick, cement and all of the items that go into the construction of a house and, best of all, it will make business for the local dealers in these things, be sides giving work to craftsmen in the building trades. Houses have to be furnished, and to do that makes for more business. Every house that is built adds to the wealth of the community and becomes another stabilizing influ ence against possible future depres sions. By all means everybody who can possibly afford to do so and does not already own his own home ought to prepare now to build this spring. LET'S SEE BOTH SIDES OF THIS FARM BOARD BATTUE. Oregon Farmer. CHAIRMAN STONE of the fed eral farm board made two pro posals in a recent meeting with which we wish to express hearty accord : (1) When asked if he expected to investigate the farm board he re plied that the board would wel come an investigation, "but we feel that if an investigation is made by congress of the activities of the grain and cotton stabilization cor porations and of the many other things the board has done, it should include in the investigation all the cotton and errain exchanges and bring out all the facts, both old and new, in connection with the way cotton and grain are handled." (2) When asked if he favored the so-called debenture plan or the equalization fee plan as modifica tions of the marketing act, he said he was for them when convinced they would help the farmer, but, "I think it wise to give the present law an opportunity under normal conditions. That has not been done so far." Thus Chairman Stone brings for ward two fundamental proposi tions. The farm board has nothing to hide from the public, or should have nothing to hide On the oth re hand, we suspect that the old established grain and cotton trade would not welcome a sweeping, light-giving investigation of all the intricacies of its practices. We do not delude ourselves into the be lief that the farm board as a board or the program it has developed are perfect. Neither are we will ing to let toe private grain and cotton trades cover their own sins by shouting charges of misconduct and unsoundness against the farm marketing act and the farm board. If there is to be an investigation of the conduct of the board, let us also have an investigation of its critics, remembering that these critics are the individuals and in stitutions whose heretofore monop oly of agricultural trade the farm board has invaded. . Let us , have an investigation of the grain and cotton exchanges. Let us have an investigation of the Federation of American Business itself! German Beauty Queen Fraulein Liebmann, a Berlin man nikin, wai named the most beautiful girl in all Germany by the judges of the beauty contest held in the Mar moriaaL A Dangerous Criminal x-Hwvr u r h in in ii i .i. t- i mmm inm it the Generally speaking, the farm marketing act and the farm board have been criticized for having failed to bring into being a perfect marketing condition for agricul ture. The act was passed, the board was created and the friends of agriculture at large sat bank, drew a sigh of satisfaction and said to themselves: "There! The job is done! Farm relief has been ob tained!" But the deck had not been clear ad. The whole world was in an in creasing economic turmoil. Busi ness of every kind and everywhere was out of joint. Europe, Asia, Af rica, both Americas, Borneo, and Tatoosh isle were distraught, un balanced, out of gear radiator boiling, carburetor out of adjust ment, water in the gas and the oil pump not working properly. And we expected the farm mar keting act to function with 100 per cent efficiency under conditions like that! And we let the enemy damn it before the general public because it was not able to bring complete harmony out of world-wide, chaos! We submit that the degree of suc cess which it has attained under such abnormal circumstances is nothing short of amazing. We agree with President Hoover that the farm marketing act is a "fun damental beginning" in a great movement for sound and perman ent agricultural stability. We accept the challenge of its enemies. We go to the mat with them and fight it out We will not surrender the advancement made through a generation of tireless en deavor on the part of organized and organizing agriculture. We de mand of congress that if it must investigate something it invesitgate the critic as well as the criticized. We demand that the farm market ing act be given a fair chance.

WHAT IS FORESTRY TOLD BY CHIEF Extent of Science and Definition of Terms Given For Benefit of Muddled Public. Forestry as an abstract idea has spread rapidly but forestry as -the concrete, practical science of han dling woodlands is far from being thoroughly understood, states Re gional Forester C. J. Buck of the U. S. forest service. It is not sur prising that such should be the case, for local conditions in differ ent forest regions have made it nec essary to emphasize one certain phase of forestry, as for instance fire protection, planting, and in sect and blister rust control. Hence forestry has come to "mean many things to many men. 'Forestry" is a basket-like word defined as the art or science of forming and caring for forests. It includes all phases of forest activ ity from planting trees to harvest ing them when grown. "Foresta tion" denotes the application of forestry principles to woodlands and is roughly synonymous with forestry. "Reforestation," a much used word, means the replanting of areas which once, recently, grew trees. "Afforestation" refers to the planting of trees on areas which have no tree growth, such as pas tures or sand dunes. The elemental concept behind the forestry idea is that forests are val uable and that they should be pro tected, improved, and increased. Forests should be protected from fire, disease, insects; they should be improved to increase the rate of growth and quality of product; and if there are areas suitable for for ests now lying idle, they should be reforested. Forest protection, there fore, is part of forestry; forest cul tivation, or. silviculture, is part of forestry; and reforestation and af forestation are part of forestry. The proper understanding of these relationships is essential to a know ledge of what is meant by "for estry." Hoover's Assailant Congressman Louis T. McFadden, Pennsylvania Republican, whose ac cusations against the President were denounced by both parties. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT.
