Special to The Observer. Columbia, June 25.?Under new sugar regulations recently announced, limiting purchases of sugar for , household use to two pounds to in- j C dividuals residing in cities and towns and to five pounds to individ-j uals residing in rural sections, sugar j can be secured for canning and pre- j 6 serving fruits and vegetables upon! S the signing of certificates which deal-1 ers throughout the state are furnished 0 by the food administration. e For canning and preserving pur- v poses twenty-five pounds of sugar per month can be obtained by any j C person; but the sugar must be used;? for this purpose only, and the per- j ? son obtaining it will be required to P sign a pledge to return to the dealer n any sugar so bought and not used for;d canning and preserving. j & It is regarded as important by the; * food administration that as much; b perishable food products as possible 0 be canned this summer, not so much! for market as for home use next win-; P ter. Conesrvation of sugar must nee- to essarily be practiced, but provision, S has been made to provide sugar for,a canning and preserving: purposes in I order that a great waste of perishable j food products may be avoided.

MILITARY POST JHAT WAS NAMED r FOR WASHINGTON Carlisle, Pa., Claims to Have Had Within Its Limits a Station of Importance That Antedates the National Capital by Many Years?Made First Move for American Liberty. CARLISLE, Pa., claims to have had within its limits the first place (Washingtonburg) in the United States to be named for George Washington and to have the oldest meeting house west of the Susquehanna, wherein the germ of American liberty was conceived. Access to hidden records and facts long buried in state archives is rewriting history and a lately discovered 'Uncompleted. Paper" by the late Christian P. Hujnrich, Esq., discloses ~ J- -St.* me iaci tnat on tne present sutt uj. uie United States Indian school at Carlisle in prerevolutionary times was an establishment of "recognized importance, and of great historical interest," known as Washingtonburg, No record is found in state or county of its existence, but research shows that it was quite an important place and more than a suburb of Carlisle. It was a national and not a stat# es James Wilscn. tablishment, for "Col. Flower, Comnriseary-General of Military Stores," requests that he might have "Carpenters, Farriers, Gun Smiths, Tinmen. Saddlers and Shoemakers" for work at this place. C02! Used Industrially. Dr. Charles F. Himes of Dickinson college writes: "It was 1'jo, an up-to date, or ratner, away ^neaa-oi-uate, establishment, at least in regard to fuel employed, for anthracite coal from Wilkesbarre region was floated down the Susquehanna and hauled in wagons from Harris' Perry (Harrisburg) to this point. This was the first use of such coal, on such a scale, and for industrial purposes." Evidence of the large force of workmen employed is found in a meat bill, dated February 7, 1781, for 150 head of beef cattle to supply the artificers ai d others at Wasliingtouburg, at the "Continental works near Carlisle/' The contention is that this military ' 0 toost was the first place in the United j .(States to tfc named for Washington j linnil +h?f its ATisfpnf?p flnrfHlfltes hv , 1** ?IU VMWkW - v? ? ~v , years Washington, D. C. When General Washington was in Carlisle during the whisky rebellion he, with Alexander Hamilton, worshiped in the "Old Presbyterian Meeting House" on the public square in Carlisle, and it was in this identical meeting house, on July 12,1774, a year before the Mecklenburg declaration, a public meeting of patriotic citizens gathered from the town and surrounding country, condemned the act of the British parliament and urged vigorous measures to correct the wrong. Col. John Montgomery was the presiding officer. James Wilson was present and wp? nrmninted one of the members of 1 the committee to meet with other com- j mittees to take action. He was later a member of the Continental congress, a s signer of the Declaration and a justice of the Supreme court. % Wing's history , states, "and when in the Continental ^ ! congress he received instructions from | his constituents in Cumberland county J to advocate an entire separation from the mother country. This was probably the first utterance of that senti- ! ment of the country." j Bancroft's Tribute to Wilson. 1 Bancroft says of Wilson: "He was an f ( ardent patriot, like many other emi- J ; went men of that day?not at first t avoweajy in iavor 01 severance uvui the mother country, but he desired it when he received definite instruction from his constituents." Bellman, writing of the potency of j this meeting held in the "Old Meeting I House" on July 12, 1774, says: "The i j influence, therefore, of the meeting, or | of subsequent instructions to which it gave rise, seems to have determined 1 the action of Pennsylvania in that great crisis which men even like John 1 Dickinson were too timid or too cow- * ardly to meet." The vote of James Wilson deter- A mined the vote of Pennsylvania.

' land county, Pennsylvania, made it j possible to be born. . ? j The Scotch-Irish part in the Revolu! tionary war and the events preceding ! it is becoming more apparent and im! portant, and the actions taken in the i Presbyterian meeting houses throughout Pennsylvania are vital to historic recital, j j Principle Must Be Adhered To. One of the statesmen who fashioned j this government upon its broad lines ! that have endured left us the guiding words that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and we should hold fast to that in all our future;.that vigilance which shall make us pre-; pared in peace for possible war, prepared in war for promised peace, and j watchful both in peace and war for j the principles and tha policies which ! have safeguarded the constitution and which will save, if anything will save, our republic till nations are no more. i Put His Americanism First. "You must remember," said he who first came to us as Marquis de la Fay i ptfp when he was asked bv what title he preferred to be addressed when he ' was last on these shores, "that 1 am | ao American general." He had renounced meanwhile one > of the proudest patents of nobility in France that he might feel stronger j; within him the call of freedom. The ? reply is characteristic of his whole / outlook of life. & Nation Now Calls on AH Patriots , i By HAPSEURG LIEBE . i of the Vigilantes. 1 i p- ej ^HIS is the story of Cecie , & Fourth, the Day that is the ; American year's badge of In-', dependence and Liberty, the; )ay that should mean to us much the. aiue jus a real Christmas?and the * >ay that too many of us have heretooi-e dragged through the cheap mire, if loud noises and spread-eag* iism! i Lnd now we staTid in no small danger t losing forever the glorious old fourth to the Prussian legions.
