F Five Miinute Chats on Our Presidents By JAMES MORGAN' (Copyright, 1930, by Jawnes Morgan.) AN UNHAPPY PRESIDENT 1788--John Adams elected vice presidetit.. 1792-Rewlected vice president. 1796-Elected president. 1797-Inaugurated second presi dent, aged 61. 1800,-Concluded peace with France. Defeated for acc ond term by Jefferson. 1820-Member of Massachusetts constitutional convention. 1826-July 4, died, aged 90. 100 PROBABLY John Adams was the unhappiest man who ever sat in the presidential chair. One of a dozen unwanted presidents, who were taken only because the men that were want ed could not he elected, this humble role emblittered ill the remaining days of the proudest man In the line of our chief magistrates. It was hard enough for Adams to be the understudy even of George Washington, , while serving as vice president. When he became president it was Imaddening to his ego that he should be expected to play second fid (ie to Alexander Hamilton, the mas ter spirit of the old governing .class, left over front colonial times dnd which controlled the Federalist party. The president mnade the fatal mis take of keeping Washington's cabinet, John Adams, which really had passed under the control of Hamilton, who presumed to direct the new administration, very much as a Tammany boss puts a Tan many mayor through his paces. As Adams never had succeeded in ruling himself it was impossible for another to rule hinm. Like iaristocracles everywhere, the Federalistk were thrown into a state of panic by the French revolution and by the rise of the Jeffersonia demnoc racy in our yet aristocratic repuiblic. In their alarm they frantically rushed through congress tAhe alien and sedi tion acts, which became only mill tttones about their necks, sinking their party forever. Noit satisfied with shutting the revolution out of the New World, manny of thenm were for join ing the monarchical coalition against it in the 0(d WVorld. In an uproarious quarrel with the absurd FrenchI direc tory, the militia was called out and WVashington summnonedl to cornmandl it, after which the president astonished the Jingoes by sudd(enly throwing them over anid returning to a pacific policy. As he had beetn the first minister to Englandl, .John Adams wvas also -the first presidetnt to take uip his residence In Washington. As Mrs. 'Adams had1( heen .the wife of the first Ameriean envoy in Londlon she was also the first mistress of the White House, If for Ionly a few months. On the way from P'hiladelphia she and the president lost their trail in the wiIlderness untIl a "straggling lhtek" camne to their as 'Thle (capitol was yet unfinished, and out of a dlesolate 1hog, far off', the un finished 'White House rose to view. There wvas neither a fence nor a tree about the structure, aind the presi (lent's nearest neighbor dwelt half a mile awvay. Mrs. Adams had a hard time to get w~'od enough to keep her family warm in the big, bleak man sion, and she smiles at us still as her letters tell us of howv she hung her washing to dIry in the great east room. After sitting at his desk until mitd night hastily signing appointments, to forestall his successor, Adams drove out of WVashington at the dawvning of the (liy of JTefferson's Inauguration. He -had no siles to bestow on the triumph of his rival. andl fewv enough to light his own pathway, through his remaining years. After hiis brave, good hel pmeet had been taken from hIm, he lived on eIght years more, lived to see wh'lat no other ex-president has seen, a son in the White llouse. At ninety, as he Ilay dying hit the sunset of the lift leth Fourth of' July, we are told that hit houghts turned to thle first and moat glorious Fourth and that his lip~s mur. muredl "Thomas .Jeffersonm still suir yives." The author of the Declnration really had dled1 a few hours before, andl ii' their flight from earth Aeth spirits of tha twvo old patriots Of '70 11terA strangelyu nte1 nea~,n.

City Ball Par Admission 25 and 50 Cen HowWe Care For Your Meat Cars When you see a Swift Refrig erator Car going by in a train, it seems a simple thing that it should be carrying fresh meat up and down the country. Like most of the packer activities which contribute. to your welfare, you are so used to having this going on uninterruptedly, day in, day out, throughout the year, that you are likely to take it as a matter of course. But it is not a matter of course. Every car you see going by means long hours of minute, scientific, painstaking care in prep aration for what it is doing. Every time a car comes in it is washed out thoroughly with scalding water. If any taint, any foreign matter, were present, this would get rid of it. Even the meat hooks are taken down from the racks and scalded with water and live steam. When the car is thoroughly cleansed we put in 5,000 pounds of ice. But that is only preliminary. It only cools the car to the proper temperature. By the time the car is moved over to receive its load, this first ice is melted... .More is then put in to keep the car cool. Then the meat is hung on the sterilized hooks and the load of food is ready for its journey. It arrives as it leaves, clean, fresh, wholesome, appetizing; and your meat supply goes on unaffected by seasons or weather. This is only a part of the service which Swift & Company furnishes, at a profit to itself so small--averaging a fraction of a cent per pound on all products over a period of years-that if the profit were handed on to the consumer, it would make a difference of less than a nickel a week in the meat bill of the average American family.
