The world has produced but one Washington and this country was his birthplace. He was born at Bridges Creek, Feb. 22, 1732. Washington belongs to the ages. Washington the man commands the highest respect.

Washington the soldier commands the most ardent admiration. Washington the statesman commands the everlasting gratitude of our people. It is in all three roles that he stands now in the light of the year as the one man of his generation who could accomplish the task thit was set for him, the task of creating and maintaining a nation. He made name in history surpassed by none and equalled by exceedingly few. The perspective of 199 years focuses rather than disperses the thought of the people of America upon the character and the services of the man who is regarded by posterity as the Father of His Country.

THE OLD DAYS George Wshington gave a reception in 1790 and illuminated the hall with 2,000 candles at a cost, of $10. The same amount of light today would cost about 20 cents. The good old days.

Washington, D. Jan. 31st, 1931 Dear you still renting a house or have you bought a home? I want to advise you to accept the nomination for Vice President of the U. S. A.

at the next election (If you get a chance) and save on your rent for the next four years thereafter. That is if congress accepts an offer made to the government yesterday by Mrs. Henderson of a beautiful house on 15th N. overlooking Meridion Park. She wrote as follows to representative Richard Elliott, chairman of the committee on public buildings and grounds: "My.

Dear Mr. Elliott: Ex-Presi- Coolidge, in his autobiography, alls attention to the need of a permanent home for the Vice President the United States, and approves ts establishment. I offer, in the interest of my gov- rnment, to give to the United States, my home at No. 2437 Fifteenth iVashington, D. free and clear of ny incumbrance, to be used as a ome for the Vice President.

I will thank the proper committee give early attention to this offer." Faithfully yours, Mary F. Henderson This is the same Mrs. John Henderon who, shortly after Mr. Coolidge lecame Vice President, offered a mansion, since sold to Spain for an mbassy, for the vice presidential iome. But gossip says this offer is iot to be turned down.

Representative libson of Vermont has drafted a bill vhich he will introduce early next providing for the acceptance of his mansion. The bill will ask for an appropriation for some $30,000.00 for urnishing and $25,000.00 a year for he upkeep. This house Mrs. Henderson is offer- ng to the government as a generous gift was built in 1929, at a cost of The ground on which it stands has a 350 foot frontage on Loth Street facing beautiful Meridion Park which was also a gift of Mrs. to the city.

The depth of the plat of ground is about 200 feet with a rear entrance. I- suppose, just i'rom looking at it from the outside, is no more unobstructed and jeautiful view in Washington than can be had from all four sides through the spacious windows. We are told that there are thirty (30) rooms and ten baths. That it contains a large banquet or ball room with conveniently arranged reception rooms on the first and second floors By the way I forgot to say, there are three stories. The location is a good one for a vice presidential residence.

Almos directly opposite on 16th Street across Meridion Park iis the French Km basay, and the legations of severa other countries are nearby. Now my dear nephew, I have you just about all I can of the par ticulars of this mansion. Do you it would suit you, that is, could you manage to get along with it for foui years? If so take old Auntie's ad vice and accept the nomination foi vice president in if you get a chance, as I think this time the gov eminent is going to accept Mrs. Hen derson's offer." Your loving Auntie. P.

course if you thought ten bath rooms inadequate for bodil; cleanliness, you might, before the ex piration of four years, get a'bil through congress allowing you build in another at your own expense ALBIA, IOWA Perhaps the weather man has jus forgotten how to make rain.
