Rough Trail of Pioneers to History Tom Lincoln was looking for a won tin to irtivel through life with, for better or worse, lie visited at the place . of Christopher Bush, a hard working ■ farmer who came from German parents and had raised a family of sons with muscle. Also there were two daughters with muscle and with shining faces ami steady eyes. Tom Lincoln passed by Hannah and gave his best jokes to , Sarah Bus-h. But it happened that j Sarah Bush wanted Daniel Johnson for a husband and he wanted her. Another woman Tom’s eyes fell on was a brunette sometimes called Nancy Hauks because she was a daughter ot Lucy Hanks, and sometimes called i Nancy Sparrow because she was an ' adopted daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Sparrow and lived with the Spar.row family. Sad With Sorrows. Tom Lincoln had seen this particu i lar Nancy Hanks (there were several i other Nancy Hankses in Hardin conn j ty) and noticed she was shrewd and | dark and lonesome. . . . Her dark i skin, dark brown hair, keen little gray i eyes, outstanding forehead, somewhat i accented shin and cheekbones, body I of slender build, weighing about 136 l pounds—these formed the outward ! shape of a woman carrying something ' strange and cherished along her ways I of life. She was sad with sorrows i like dark stars in blue mist. . . .

In those days they called little girls i “Sis.” Some little girls never outgrew it and were called “Sis" as long as they lived. Mr. Lincoln called them “Little Sister,” William E.

The new husband [>ut his June bride on his horse and they rode away on the red clay road along (lie timber trails to Elizabethtown. Their new home was in a cabin dose to the courthouse. Tom worked at the carpenter s trade, made cabinets, door frames, win low sash and cotHns. A daughter was born and they named her Syrah. . . . The same year saw the Lincolns moved to it place on the Big South fork of Nolin's creek, about two and a half miles from Hodenville. Due morning in February of this year, ISO 9, Tom Lincoln came out of his cabin to the road, stopped a neigh bor and asked him to tell “the granny woman," Aunt Peggy Walters, that Nancy would need help soon. Lincoln's Btrth. On the morning of February 12, a Sunday, the granny woman was there iit the cabin. And she and Tom Lin coin and the moaning Nancy Hanks welcomed into a world of battle and blood, of whispering dreams and wistful dust, a new child, a boy. A little later that morning Tom Lin coin threw some extra wood on the fire, and an extra bearskin over the mother, went out of the cabin, and walked two miles up the road to where the Sparrows, Tom and Betsy, lived Dennis Hanks, the nine-year-old boy adopted by the Sparrows, met Tom at the door. In his slow way of talking—he was a slow and quiet man —Tom Lincoln I old them, "Nancy’s got a boy baby.’ A half-sheepish look was in his eyes.

ing, Little Sister!” One of these was the little daughter of Mrs. Helmle, who made Mrs. Lincoln’s bonnets. She met him one day shortly be fore he left Springfield for Washington, and he passed her without speaking. They passed each other on one of Springfield’s precarious crossings where no one could fail to see a person coming from the other way, but he had his head down in deep and.

ns though maybe more babies were not wanted in Kentucky just then. The b<»y. Dennis Hanks, took to his ! feet down the road to the Lincoln j cabin. There he saw Nancy Hanks on a bed of poles cleated to a corner of the cabin, under a large, warm bearskin She tun cd her dark head from looking at the baby to look at Dentil--and threw him a tired, white smile from her mouth and gray eyes. He stood by the bed. has eyes wide open watching the even, quiet breaths, ot tiiis fresh, soft red baby. “What you goin* to name him. Nancy?" the boy asked. “Abraham.” was the answer, “after his grandfather.” Little Dennis’ Prediction. Little Dennis rolled up in a bearskin and slept by the fireplace that night He listened for the crying of the new born diild once in the night and the feet of the father moving on the dirt floor to help the mother and the little one. In the morning he took a long look at the baby and said to himself. “Its skin looks just like red cherry pulp squeezed dry, in wrinkles." And Dennis swung the baby back and forth, keeping up a • hatter about how tickled he was to have a new cousin to [day with. The baby screwed up the muscles of its face and began crying witli no let-up. Dennis turned to Betsy Sparrow handed her the baby and said to her. "Aunt, take him! He’ll never come to much.” So came the birth of Abraham Lincoln that twelfth day of February in the year 1809 —in silence and pain from a wilderness mother on a bed of corn husks and bearskins—with an early laughing child prophecy tie would never come to much. And though he was born in a house with only one door and one window, it was written he would come to know many doors, many windows; he would read many riddles and doors and win flows. —From "Abraham Lincoln, the Prairie Years.” by Carl Sandburg.

she thought, sorrowful meditation, and he did not speak. She got to tbe other side and stopped and looked back. She said to herself: "He is a great man now. He has forgotten me. He used to speak to me. but since he was elected President he is too great a man to notice a little girl like me.” Mr. Lincoln also stopped, as though he had received a telepathic message. He turned around and saw the little girl on the other side. “Good-by. Little Sister.” he called. And she never saw him again.

Careful Cutting Helps Woodlot — New York Farmer Cut SIOO Worth of Fuel From Each Acre, Aiding Stand. Tn a woodlot on the farm of Henry Kellogg of Barnes Corners in Lewis county, SIOO worth of fuel wood was recently removed from each acre and the woodlot was left in better condition than before cutting, according to J. A. Cope, forester at Cornell uni versity, who had charge of selecting and cutting the trees. Woodlot Improvement. This was part of a woodlot improvement campaign conducted by the Lewis county farm bureau in which Mr. Kellogg agreed to use his woodlands | to show what cpuld be done. An area was laid out in a 20-acre woodlot, and the trees marked to be cut were only I those that were defective, crooked or > were what are commonly called | “weed” species. At a woods meeting, attended by farmers of the community, the marked trees which had been carefully cut and ranked were measured. It was found that 80 15-inch cords of wood had been cut from each acre. This fuel wood had a roadside value of S2OO. Mr. Kellogg kept a record of time required to cut, haul and rank this wood, and found the SO cords could be delivered to the roadside for SIOO, including sawing It into 15-inch : lengths, thereby netting him a clear stumpage value of SIOO an acre. Saved Crop Trees. The group next visited the lot : where the cutting was done to see i । that the main crop trees of thrifty ash. basswood and hard maple had I not been touched. The cutting had Improved the condition of the stand so that the crowns of the remaining trees will be able to expand and thus diameter-growth will be greatly increased. Mr. Kellogg's experience indicated that, as far as Lewis county woodlots go, “you can eat your cake and have it, too,” Mr. Cope says. Stinking Smut Is Most Widely Spread Disease Stinking smut Is the most widely spreail disease of wheat and next to black stem rust is the most destructive. It has been estimated to cause ' an annual loss in the United State® of 25,000.600 bushels. Stinking smut grows within the wheat plant and , eventually forms smut balls in the place of the kernels. It causes a general shrinkage in the outline of the head but does not otherwise greatly change the outward appear- : ance of the head and can be detected i in the field only by close examination or by scenting its odor which is sim- ' ilar to that of decaying fish. When the smutted wheat is threshed many of the smut balls are broken and 1 i some of the smut dust or spores is j lodged on the surfaces of sound । grains. If the smutted grain Is sown. ■ : the smut spores germinate with the ■ j seed wheat and again develop within the plant. In this way the disease is : carried from one crop to the next. State Game Laws Govern Hunting in the Forests Can anyone hunt and kill game in the national forests? This question ; I is frequently asked Department of j Agriculture officials. Hunting ami fishing in all national forests, says the , forest service, are governed by the game laws of the state in which the national forest is located. Most forest officers are deputy state game I wardens ami it is their duty to en- j force the state game laws at all times. In some of the national forests. | however, national game refuges have been set aside for the preservation of wild life. In these refuges hunting and fishing are not allowed, except under special circumstances and with j the approval of the authorities in ’ charge. | Agricultural Squibs A farm implement in the shelter is । worth two in the storm®. • * • Poultry usually do not need such I things as yeast, mineral or tonics if । they receive adequate rations. A grooved surface on a concrete api proach to a raised driveway will asi sure a firm foothold.

Probably the most important of all 1 the more recent tendencies in fruit growing is the use of sweet clover in the apple orchard. • • • Farming with just the hands and the feet goes hand in hand with delinquent taxes. Bunning water in the home and barn is not only convenient but it i pays for itself many times by saving : time. • • • "Price chasing” of farmers in order to catch the high price crops or live stock has on many occasions resulted in disappointment. It costs more for each bushel or for j each unit to market a large crop of an agricultural product than it costs to market a small crop. • • • Farmers who take an annual inventory should not forget to include the dog. He may be an asset or a liability for he has to be fed and an annual tax has to be paid for him. • • • In peach orchards and in apple orchards where mean cultivation Is practiced, manure is an invaluable aid in maintaining soil fertility and physical condition at such a poi it that fruit will thrive.

PRIMARY TOPIC—How Gods Kinerdom Grows. JUNIOR TOPIC—How God’s Kingdom Grows. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How the Kingdom Grows. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Growing Kingdom of God. I. Jesus Preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14. 15). 1. The time. After the voice of John the Baptist was stilled because of nis imprisonment. Jesus took up the .message 2. What He preached. It was the gospel of the kingdom of God. Since “gospel” means “good news.” the good news which He preached was that Christ bad come to establish His kingdom. 3. How He preached. He said. 'Repent, for the kingdom Is at hand.’ The King was then ready to set up His kingdom if the Jews would receive Him. 11. Jesus Pictures Four Classes of Hearers (Mark 4:1-2<») 1. The place—the seaside—(v. 1). He was obliged to enter a boat to escape the pressure of the crowd. 2. Why He taught In parables (vv. 9 12). It was not until the rulers had set their hearts against Him that He employed the parabolic meth<»d. 3. The parable ot the four kinds of ground (vv. 3-8:13-2l»). Observe that the seed and the sower are the same in all these instances, hut the resuhs are entirely different, determined by the condition of the soil. (1) The Wayside (vv. 14. 15). The wayside means the track beaten by th° hoofs of animals and »he feet of men Because the soil was nnbroken and uncultivated the seed i could not get beneath the snrfa<-e. therefore was devoured by fowls, which represent the agents of Satan ! (v. 15) (2) The stony ground (vv. 5. 6. 16. 17). Stony ground means stones with a thin layer of soil upon them. Under such conditions the seed springs up quickly and is soon scorched because^ it has not much depth. ” (3) The thorny ground (w. 7. 18. | 19). In this case the ground is good. I but has thorns in it. It is mellow and ■ has depth, hut has not been cleaned of the thorns. The thorny ground hearers of this age are: (a) Those who are so immersed in worldliness, business and anxious care that the good seed cannot mature: (b) those who are rich. The effect of riches Is : often to blind the spiritual percepI lions; (c) those who are running after j the pleasures of life. All these things j choke the Word. 4. Tile good ground (vv. 8. 20). This ground differs from all the rest. It is sofi and mellow, deep and moist, therefore is capable of bring- . ing forth fruit in varying degrees of I abundance. 111. Jesus Pictures the Growth of the Kingdom (M rk 1:21-34) 1. The parable of the candle (vv. 21 25). The bushel stands for the cares and material things of life, and the bed for ease and comfort. The teaching is that the Word of God should so i permeate our being that in our business and socirl li*e we may have a ' testimony for Christ. 2. The parable of the growing grain (vv. 26 29). (1) The attitude of mind of the gospel preacher (vv. 2G. 27). He should with the utmost fidelity cast seed irto the ground, preach the Word, and leave results fn God. (2) The processes of »he spiritual life are gradual (v. 28). It is "first the blade, then the ear. after that the full corn lit the ear.” (3) The consummation of the spiritual process (v 29). Despite the difficulty under which sowing is done, we can he assured of a harvest time. 3.—The parable of the mustard seed (vv. 36-3-D. (1) The unimportant beginning (v. 31). It begins as the lea«t of all seeds and becomes the greatest among herbs. ■ 2) Its vigorous growth (v. 32). The greatest power on earth today is that which had its inception in the preaching of Hie g«»spel. (3) Its lodging capacity (v 32) The binls which lodge in the j branches do not represent the children of men who find safety ami salvation in the church, but the children of the evil one who find protection ; and f<»ml in that which was inaugurated by Jesus Christ. The All-Wise God The all-wise God. whose never-fail-ing providence ordereth every event, usually makes what we set our hearts upon unsatisfactory, and sweetens what we feared: bringing real evil ont ‘ of seeming good, and real g<»od out of I seeming evil, to show us what short ■ sighted creatures we are and to teach , us to live by faith upon His blessed I Self. —Toplady. _______________________________ An Evangelistic Thought Jesus came, not to destroy the kjv ; which we study today, but to fulfill i the law. He fulfilled it by drinking to । the last dregs the shame that was His death. Be paid the price that we. who sin. may be saved. How can we refuse so great a salvation? How can we ignore such love as He has shown? —Lookout.
