Five Minutes with Our Presidents

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

J Henry Tebbetts. living on the Samiel Gaar place, was the biggest buyer at the George Bullerdick live stock Pale. He bought 6 of the 28 head of battle put up. The prices paid ranged at from $136 down to $86, three of the cows costing him over $125 per head.

Eighteen head of hogs were sold at

fair prices. The cattle list Included Jerseys, Holsteins, and Shorthorns.. Foster Campbell, of Marlon, O., will

take charge of the office of the county

agent in Union County on Sept. 1. Mr.

Campbell spent a day or two at Liber

ty this week. Brinkley Stock Farm Sale. A sale of Big Type Poland Hogs was held at the Brinkley Stock Farm,' 4V& miles northeast of New Paris, on Friday. The sale netted $2,000. The ton vearllne Kilt was bought by A. C.

Stewart, of Greensburg, Ind. George

Closternian and Son, Montezuma, O.,

paid the high dollar for a spring gut.

Ralph Haines, of Circlesville, Ohio, find Tom Conniff, of Richmond, cried

the sale. ' Frost Last Six Years.

In view of the lateness of planting

of much corn in this section, farmers fire anxious that we have no early

frost this fall. A review of the weath

er reports from 1914 to 1919 will be

found encouraging.

No frosts were reported in August during these years. The first frost in 1914 came on the morning of Sept. 26,

nnd the next frost was visible on the morning of Oct. 26, continuing for

three nights.

Ir 1915 no frosts were recorded in

August, September or October.

First frost in 1916 came on the night of Sept. 16, and is noted as a "killing frost" on the chart. Two more frosty nigats followed during the month, on

th nineteenth and twenty-ninth.

A "white frost" was visible in 1917

oi the low grounds near the pumping

elation on the morning of Sept. 11, and

oa 12th. The first killing frost in 1917 fa recorded on Oct. 6; another on the fth and a light fall of snow is reported

n the 12th.

Frost was first noted in 1918 on the morning of Sept. 21, and again on

that of the 22nd. All frosts were

"light" up to Nov. 13 of that year.

Last year was another exceptional year. A light frost fell on the morn

ing of Sept. 26, the only frost recorded

until November. October temperatures

were warm. The lowest was 33 de

grees and the highest 86.

A few more showers and three or

four weeks of growing weather should pee most of the corn in Wayne and

Preble "safe", in the opinion of many farmers. We shall be glad to have the

views of farmers on this interesting and important matter. What of your

own crop? How soon will that be "safe"? Send us a postal or phone

2969, please.

LINCOLN GROWING BEARD IN 1860

After

mained

a campaign in which he resilent in Springfield, except

for a merely formal acceptance of the nomination, Lincoln received the news of his election to the presidency with

the bitter anguish of the Nation s

jeopardy in his heart and in his face the shadow of his awful responsibility. For Southern leaders had warned the

country that the triumph of a minority candidate and of a sectional party, which did not put out a ticket in ten

Btates of the South, would be the signal for breaking up the Union. The

Republican party, falling far short of

a majority, had won a four-cornered

contest only because the Democrats had divided their votes between Doug

las and Breckinridge, with a large

remnant of the old Whig party voting

for Bell.

As state after etate made good the

threat by withdrawing its representa

tives from Washington and by enter

ing the Southern confederacy, a moral,

financial and industrial panic shook

the North. There rose a frantic clamor

for letting the South go or for compromising with it again. Seward and a large section of the Republicans began to trim sails, and not less than 40 measures for patching up a truce were

proposed In congress. From the new captain came the clear command: "Hold firm as a chajn

of steel." While so many other North

ern leaders were buffeted about like

corks In a surf, Lincoln steered his

steady course in the storm by two beacon lights: the Union, and the man

date of his election, which was to stop

the spread of slavery beyond its existing boundaries. Office-seekers and statesmen flocked

to the Bimple village home in Springfield, where the president-elect in

"snuff-colored, slouchy pantaloons and open black vest .with brass buttons"

let them in and talked with them while his two little sons noisily clambered

over him. But he kept his own counsels. Without consulting anyone or confiding in anyone, he completed the outlines of his cabinet as he sat in the excited hurly-burly of the telegraph office election night. When the time came to write his inaugural address, he retired into the solitude of a bare room over a store. One day as he and Mrs. Lincoln were busily unpacking some purchases which they had made in Chicago for their journey to Washington, and he thought of the public fears that the rising tide of secession would engulf Virginia and Maryland and cut off the president-elect from the capital, the humor of the grim situation brought a twinkle to his eye and a pucker to his Hps. "Well, Mary," he said, "there is one thing likely to come out of this scrape, anyhow. We are going to have some new clothes." On the eve of his departure to assume the exalted station to which he had been called, he made a journey to the home of his stepmother. He was loyally caring for the good woman who had brought sunshine into his desolate boyhood, whose faithful hands had clothed him and who had given him a chance to go to school and learn his letters. But her enjoyment of his visit was clouded with gloomy forebodings that his enemies would kill him and that she never would see him again. He had his own dark presentiments.

1850 Nov. 6, Abraham Lincoln elected President. The vote: Lincoln, Republican, 1,866,452; Douglas, Northern Democrat, 1,375,157; Breckinridge, Southern Democrat, 847,953; Bell, Constitutional Unionist, 590,631. 1861 Feb. 11, Lincoln left Springfield. Feb. 23, arrived In Washington.

On the day of his nomination he saw two reflections of himself In a mirror, one of them a pale shadow, and the superstition always present in this primitive man was aroused. On the night before he started for Washington, as he was sadly leaving his old law office for the last time and saying go.od-bye to his partner, he foretold the fate that awaited him. The people who had gathered at the railway station the next morning to say good-bye to him saw him, as long as his train remained in sight, standing on the platform of his car, a melancholy figure, wistfully looking back at the vanishing little town, into 'vMc had - ' "id where fame had sought him out. M of the man, which ocui n a 1... . - i',-se of his journey, caused many smiles and as many sneers. Having adopted the advice of a little girl in a New York town, who wrote him a letter hopping him to grow a beard on his hitherto clean-shaven face, he called for her when his train stopped at her station, and told her, as he kissed her, that he had made the change at her request. At Philadelphia there was a more solemn incident, touched with a tragic prophecy. In the unwonted emotions

evoked in Independence Hall, where he spoke on Washington's Birthday, Lincoln was moved to declare that if

the Union could not be saved without giving up the principles of the Declaration of Independence, he "would rather be assassinated on this spot than surrender it." As the presidential train neared Washington, Lincoln was met by a messenger from Seward and also by Allen Pinkerton, the noted detective, with the warning of a plot to mob him In Baltimore, where in those times all through railway cars had to be slowly hauled across the city by horses. Although he disliked to 6teal into the capital, as he said, "like a thief in the night," he accepted the advice of those around him and quietly left his party at Harrisburg. Accompanied only by Pinkerton and another loyal Illinois friend, he finished the journey unobserved, though undisguised, in a general sleeping car. Arriving in Washington at dawn, the three men hailed a station hack, like any other strangers, and were already settled at their hotel when the capital awoke to the startling news that the president-elect was in the city.

(By Associated Press) DUBLIN. Aug. 21. All moderate sections of opinion In Ireland are greatly Interested in next Tuesday's conference called to enable every shade of home rule sentiment to unite in a statement to Premier Lloyd George relative to the future government of the island. This statement will. In particular detail what measures short of a republic will keep Ireland within the empire and which, though possibly opposed by the Sinji

Fein, may satisfy the general body of Irish opinion. The meeting, while suggested by the

dominion home rulers, will be open

to every section and group and will in

clude many men who until six months ago were identified with the Unionist cause.

May Demand Withdrawal. The main point for discussion will be whether a demand should be made for a complete withdrawal of the Irish bill now before the House of Com

mons, or whether an attempt snouia

be made to graft onto it a wide extension of powers, especially regarding finance, which woul(f make it accept

able and workable. The party headed by Sir Horace Plunkett favors the complete withdrawal of the bill and the establishment of a convention elected on proportional representation from all of

Ireland to put forward a joint Irish plan. Stephen Gwinn, former member of the House of Commons and his group believe the government's committments to Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader, would make this impracticable. They suggest detailed

amendments to the government bill that would strengthen the power of the Central council by assigning to it such departments as agriculture, railroads and postoffices, which concern all Ireland. Others Hold Aloof. An attempt has been made to asso

ciate with the meetings leading Irishmen, who, though not declared Sinn Feiners, are in the conference of that organization. It is regarded as certain that Premier Lloyd George will receive a deputation from the conference, no matter what its decision may be.

A WOMAN DOCTOR

says, "Eugenics is a necessary factor in the future of the race. The average American girl is unfit for motherhood." This may be true, but if weak and ailing girls passing from girlhood to womanhood would only rely, as thousands do, upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that simple remedy made from roots and herbs to restore the system to a normal healthy condition, it would cause many ills from which they suffer to disappear, so that motherhood might become the joy of their lives Advertisement.

MAKE HEROES OF ENEMIES

IS WAV DP THF FNim IftU

I have come to the conclusion that

hn threft favorito characters in his

tory of the average Englishman are George Washington, William Wallace and Joan of Arc. Now the remarkable thing is not that all three were enemies of the British, for any generous spirit can forgive a vanquished enemy. But they were victorious enemies, and it requires an almost superhuman virtue to forgive a triumphant foe. The Virginian rebel who took from the British empire its most valuable colonies; the fierce Scottish borderer who made possible Scottish independence and inflicted most humiliating defeats on the proud armies of King Edward; the French peasant girl who frustrated the whole purpose of a hundred years of war and made for ever vain the dream of an empire on the continent of Europe such are the heroes of British fiction and British verse. I cannot find that other nations have shown a similar appreciation of those who triumphed over them, no matter how noble their characters might be. In Vienna they do not sing ballads In praise of Garibaldi. The Louvre does not contain many paintings of Andreas Hofer, the Tyrolese hero who fought Napoleon, Kosciusko has had some kind words from Russians and Germans, but he does not rank as highly with them as with the Poles. The Spaniards are resigned to the independence of Holland, but they are not quite so enthusiastic about William of Orange as the Dutch, The Germans do not sing the 'Marseillaise' (save for Socialist purposes) or the French 'The Watch on the Rhine but an Englishman will always Join in 'Scots Wha Hae' or 'The Wearing of the Green.'
