Tbe student body was warned to guard the great enemy? fre, and take upon themselves the responsibility to see that treej are protected against this dreadful fo>. After the program ended maple trees were ,*et on tbe school ground to lm the State Department of Conservation aad Development. He pointed out the danger to the American forest through ignorance. This ignorance consists of the false notion of destroy ing Insects by burning the woods every year; burning the woods to destroy tbe boll weevil when the boll weevil does, not live In the woods at Mil, China was pointed out as a country, that burned the forest to rid t'jemselves of vermin and suffered greatly for their mistake.

Call aad examine H LODISBDRG GROCERY COMPANY Washington Was n The Father Of T West Point Bb Dnu ?r a Great Ulterjr Au4 mr wm be Kail; Realise* la 1WM I Another project dear to George ; Washington will take on Anal form with the edition of 16,000 acres of , land to the reservation of the United Slates Military Academy * at West Point, thas rounding oat the scope of the school as Washington desired it to be. The dedication o( this ad Ci' tonal land, it has been learned by the Division or Information and Pub lication of the George Washington Bicentennial Commission, has been most appropriately set for next year, 1432, the Two Hundredth Anniver sary of Washington's birth. Probably no military locality figur ed more often than West Point In Washington's mind during the War for Independence. He early bad seen the Importance of the Hudson Hiver. Control of thft waterway by the enemy would have cut the Thir teen warring Colonies in two. Com mand of the river by' the patriots meant dominance of the military sit uation and was necessary to victory in the war. And West Point was the key position on the river. In full appreciation of this fact, Koaclusiko wa? commlstloq^ lB 177? to plan fortifications for West Point that would make It "the Gibraltar of the Hudson." J Washington, however, saw In West Point a utility to his army beyond its immediate strategic Importance. None knew better than the commanding general the scarcity of well-traloed officers in his ranks, and the situa tion of West Point seems to have Im pressed him even then as a good one | lor the establishment of the needed military school. On Washington'* recommendation, Congress appointed a committee to draw up plans (or such a school and in 1777 a corps of officers not able tc perform Held service was organis ed In Philadelphia. In 1781 this body was sent to West Point "to serve as r. military school (or young gentle men previously to their being ap pointed to marching regiments." Congress had thus found time to act upon Washington's . idea, and such were the beginnings of West Point. Three rough buildings had been erected, to house a library, aa en gineers' school, and a laboratary. Preliminary practice In gunnery also was set up. That Washington had In mind the future development of West Point is shown by the fact that at Newburgh, in 1783, he laid before his generals further plans for a more extensive academy there, for artiller ists, engineers, and cadets. But not until after the War, when he was President, had he the time or the au thority to give effect to his ideas. In 1794, during his Administration, he recommended to Congress sugges tions for upbuilding of a school for ' thorough and complete military train- I lng at West Point. The School was ' not without its "vicissitudes, however. A Are destroyed wtiat Congress had r.'. ready accomplished and the acad imy, as it then was, was wiped out and forgotten for six years. Still, Washington's Idea survived, end in 1802 President Jefferson took up the plan and rebuilt West Point. True to his own sense of the fitness ot things, President Jefferson saw to it that July Fburth should be the date rf reopening. On that day West Tolnt as we know. It today got down to Its work with an enrollment of ten cadets. Since then nothing has Impeded its work but cramped quar ters and not always ample appropria tions. Certainly the American people ? have never lacked Interest in West J Point Each year It Is visited by | more persons than any other Govern- j ment military undertaking- Now the' , seventy-first Congress has authorized I a move long indicated and urged, in 1 fcrder to carry out Washington's orl- . gtnal purpose. General Washington I had placed training in gunnery (ore- J most in its teaching. At last, with | 16,000 acres of additional land, the j Academy is to have this needed ar- j tlllery range, and also a training i field fcr aviation. And no one will | question the fitness of opening this ? new and larger West Point during 1 the year when the nation pays Its | homage to Washington. AT &E8T A dark gloom was cast upon the entire community, when It was learn ed that death had entered Into the home of W. H. Burgess, and took the loving mother and grandmother, Mrs. Bettie Ayscue. The deceased leaves three children, fifteen grand children, two great-grandchildren and cne sister. Grandmother had been In a bad state of health for several years, but we had hoped that she would get bet ter, for we could hardly bear to think ol her leaving us, but our hopes (-rambled Thursday, March 19, about f o'clock when God led into that beau ttfnl kingdom, where she will live for ever. The funeral services were conduct ed Friday evening at Liberty Chris tian Church by Rev. H. E. Crotch Held, where there were a large num ber of relative* and friends present lo pay their last tribute of respect. She was tenderly laid to rest beneath the bountiful snpply of beautiful flowers .beside her husband who had proceeded her to the grave thirty eight years. Grandmother will, be sadly missed by her friends and relatives who loved her so dearly. BPRUILL AXPCUB. Fake ? Schwager says he never paid a doctor's bill In hla life.
