VALLEY FORGE PLANS TWO MEMORIALS TO HONOR HEROIC SOLDIERS OF 1778 Library and Non-DencfcninationaL Church Will Rite on Broad Acres Near Philadelphia — Celebration Arranged for June to Mark 150th Year. V ALLEY FORCE, acene^f the Continental Army’s martyrdom and heroism in the depressing days of 1777 and 1778, will furnish the background for a great national ob servance of the 150th anniversary. Imposing memorials are planned .for the big cantonment outside of Phila delphia, chiefly a Washington Memo rial Library and a Washington Memo rial Church, non denominational. While the details for the celebration have not yet been announced, it is believed that they will be most com prehensive and picturesque, including participation first of all by the thir teen original states and then by all forty-eight states. The Washington memorials will rise on the site of the Zulich mansion, de stroyed last spring by fire. The Rev. W. Herbert Burk, founder and rector of the Washington Memorial Chapel, has received assurances of gifts that will make the memorials possible. His congregation has bought a site covering 15 acres for the buildings and an unidentified donor has promised funds for the Library, the cornerstone Washington's Headquarters and Memorial Arch at Valley Forge. The Walk Approaching the Arch Has Been Chemically Treated. for which will be laid June 19, 19C$, as the closing feature of the Sesqui* Centennial observance. History only will have a place cn the library shelves. Each state will ha represented by works dealing with the history of that state and the li brary will have, therefore, 4S alcoves. Valley Forge continues to be the center of interest of thousands and thousands of visitors from every sec tion of the country, as well as from abroad. Railroads and automobile bus com panics regularly run excursions to the famous old shrjne of patriotism amj on Sundays and holidays even the broad acres of Valley Forge are taxi'd for space by the huge throngs, in addition many visitors travel by pri vate motor cars over the excellent - roads, kept In splendid condition by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. All roads to- Valley Forge ' run through a landscape of remarkable beauty, artists agree, and these roads are treated, as necessity arises, with chemicals, especially calcium chloride, to lajj the dust. Only 32 miles from Philadelphia, the shrine has long been one of the favor ite objectives for daily excursions for Philadelphians, as well as for visitors to that city who have combined the Valley Forge.trip with a tour of other places of historic Interest, such as Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross House and other relics of the Revolu tion. | That Interest expected to be stim-, ulated by the forth.'.’oming celebration. ITALY’S FISTIC HERO A BILL FOR THOUGHT THE PLACE FOR SPEED MEDALS FOR FLYERS : Ita'ry’s heavyweight champion is here, 22 years old, 6 feet 2 inches tall, weight 235 pounds. Boxing two and a half years, each of his ten opponents kindly became un conscious in four rounds or less. This descendant of Roman gladi ators, Umberto Torrino, is artistic, sings, plays several musical instru ments and Oould lecture on Verdi. He seems to be the natural, physi cal and mental opponent for Tun- ney. Torrino could interest local tal- ent by offering to-revive the old Roman boxing with the ce^tus, a glove of heavy thongs loaded with iron or bronze, making it unneces sary for the referee to count. The McNary-Haugcn bill is en thusiastically passed by the Senate. There are elections coming. The House will pas’s it also, many that vote for it counting on the Presi dent’s veto to counteract their vote. That the President will veto the hill is probable (and that it will be passed'over his veto is probable. According to wise men, some “best minds,” far removed from farming, now approve the bill. Anyjlpng to make the farmers more prosperous would he wel come, hut the so-called “farmers bill,” may surprise farmers when understood. According to wise ones, the Go** eminent would tell packers at what price they must buy hogs; and telU flour men at what price they must buy wheat And do* would guarantee profits to packers and flour men. After they had sold all the American public would buy, dt prices much increased, of course, packers, millers, cotten men, etc., would “dump” the balance in for eign markets at any price obtain able.

The conference w'a-; attended by leaders in the nitiogen industry and agricub turaJ scientists from all countries. Among those representing the United Staten were Mr. C. B. Peters, Presi dent and Professor S. B. Haskell. Ag- rirultutial D’rector of the Synthetic Nitrogen Products Corporation. In his paper entitled “Nitrogen Economics,” Dr. Bueb, Director of the German Nitrogen Syndicate, re- feiired to the very satisfactory re sults obtained in agriculture by the use of nitrate of lime and Nitro- phoska. Dr. Bueb showed that the downward trend of prhes of nitro gen fartilizeis in comparison with the prices received for agricultural produce had greatly increased the profit derived by using nitrogen. He said, the prime duty of the Nitrogen Industry is to place ite products at the disposal of the farmers as cheaply as possible. The relation of freight rates, farm production credit and the hindrance due to import and expoat ■duties were mentioned. Mr. F. C. 0. Speyer, General Mana ger of Nitram Ltd., England, em phasized the great eeonomi? impor tance for Great Britain of the adoption on a large sca’e of the intensive system of grassland management by the use of nitrogen fertilizers. Prof. L. Bretigniere .of France, speaking on the “Cultivation of the soil in relation to Nitrogenous Fertili- zem” said “As. Nitrogenous Fertili zers afford a very potent means of increasing the supply of agricultural products that are useful to man, and as such fertilizers are now being pro duced in forms so numerous and varied as to satisfy the most exacting re quirements of farmers, trials should Jdc initiated to ^determine the conditions under which simultaneous use can be made of impioved methods of soil Ciultivation and Larger quantities of nitrogenous fertilizers not produced on the farm.” 1 ■» Dr. H. Warmbold, Director of Ag ricultural Rcsea.ch I. G. Farbenindus- trie A. G., of Germany, discussed the “Natural ar ( d ■'Economic Principles Governing the use of Commercial Fer tilizers.” He stated that, “Commer cial Fertilizers having become cheaper than alt other agricultural requisites, their contribution to profitable farm ing had greatly increased. Where Lcrnmu ci? 1 fertilizers are required, outlay on them brings in a^higher re turn than expenditure on any other items such as buildiings, machinery, livestock, stores and Vpkeep.” Other papers w'erc read by Sir Fred erick Keeble of England; Dr. A. Demolon of France; Prof. Erwin Baur of, Berlin; Mr. T. H. J. Ca’.roll of England; Dr. G. Fauser of Germany aui Mr. M. Galland of France. And whatever the “processers” lost by dumping, the Government would make up in hard ca^h taken from taxpayers. There is an equal-, ization. plan of doubtful value. Another feature of the bill would be complicated bookkeeping and inspection, involving gigantic arm ies of additional public servants. When a packer buys a pig he changes it intd scores of products. He would report profits and losses to the Goyernnient, and the Gov ernment would have to investigate every detail. The prospect of Gov ernment price-fixing, with guaran tees and inflation, worries some men that think. From Northern and Western Gateways ‘ ".Hr , ,.;••* to Gulf and Ocean Ports Racing on the sand at Daytona Beach, in his Black Hawk Special speed car, going more than 200 miles an hour, Frank Lockhart blew’ out a rear tire. His car bounced 300 f«et, “turned several somersaults” and landed upside down. Lockhart was killed This unfortunate death of a dar ing^ automobile racer is a warning to those that indulge in excessive speed. The air, not the ground, is the place for speeding. ♦ ♦ ton Passes. WiDiston, May 12.—Melton ( E. Boy- Iston, 64, w’ell kr.iowm citizen of Willis- ton, died in the University hospital, Augusta, Thursday night. Mr. Boy- Iston was stricken about two weeks ago ar 1 hid been in a serious condi tion sim e that time.

Boylston and Add Bey’ ton. of Williston. and a sister, Mrs. Fred Grubbs, of Columbia. * Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at Spring Branch Baptist church, of which Mr. Boylston was a loyal member for m<any l years. Mr. Boylston was a splendid citizen who will be greatly missed. President Coolidge will give medals to six fliers—three recently arrived, the Frenchmen, Costes and Lebrix, and the able Italian the Marquis de Pinedo., lie might addSF one medal for Miss Junkers, daughter of the man -that made the westward flying air- plane, responsible for tile trip’s success. Through all the excite ment she has kept out of the lime light, and that deserves a medal.
