AMERICA’S MARTYRED PRESIDENT.
Today we observe the anniversary of the birth of
Abraham Lincoln. Both young and old know of the mar
tyred president and the most that can be said of this be
loved character is the following important events in his
i
life up to his death:
1809—Born in Hardin county. Kentucky, February i
12. He was descended from a Quaker family, which had
emigrated from Yirginia*about 1780.
1816—Removed with his family from Kentucky to In
diana.
1830—Removed to Illinois, where during the next few
years he followed various occupations, including those of
a farm laborer, a merchant and a surveyor.
1836—Admitted to the bar and began the practice of
law in Springfield.
1842—Served as a captain and afterward as a private
in the Black Hawk war.
1844—Elected to the Illinois legislature as a Whig
and served eight years.
1847—Elected to Congress on the Whig ticket.
1858—As Republican candidate for the United States
senate he engaged in a series of joint debates throughout
Illinois with the Democrat candidate, Stephen A. Douglas.
1860—Elected president of the United States on the Re
publican ticket, the disunion of the Democratic party giv
ing him an easy victory.
1861—On April 15, two days after the fall of rort
Sumter, he issued a call for 75,000 volunteers, and the con
trol of events passed from the cabinet to the camp.
1861— April 19. proclaimed a blockade of Southern
ports.
1862— September 22. issued a proclamation emanci
pating all slaves in states or part of states, which should
be in rebellion on January 1,1863.
1864— Re-elected president by the Republican party
defeating (leo. B. McClellan, candidate of the Democratic
party.
1865— Entered Richmond with the Federal army on
April 4, two days after that city had been evacuated by
the Confederates.
1865—Shot by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, and
died the following day.Buried at Springfield, 111.
Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition.
Whether it be true or not, I can say for one, that I have
no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my
fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem.—
Lincoln.
4
Stand with anybody that stands right. Stand \v;ith
him*while he is right and part with him when he goes
wrong.—Lincoln. j
_
The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself
every way he can. never suspecting that anybody wishes
to hinder him.—Lincoln.
v
Lincoln was a clever politician and never hesitated
when President to play trumps in a crisis.
■ ■■■■■— .....
When Lincoln, as a boy, first came in contact with the!
the institution of slavery, he remarked: ‘‘If I ever get a
chance, I am going to knock that thing, and knock it hard.” i

HOUSEWIVES PUT UP
800,009^000 JARS OF *
FRUIT IN 1917 *
* - *
During 1917, so Unde Sam op- *
timates, 600,000,000 jars of fruiv *
of all kinds were cauied by the *
housewives of the United Slates. v i
While this is an enormous quail- '
tity, still he is not satisfied and '
is asking that this year 1,500,- v
000,000 jars of fiuit be pui up. *
* The saving is held by the gov- !
* erimiert to be inun nse and the *
quality of the canned article is *
* just what the family wants. *
Manufacturers of fruit jars have *
1 been making shipments for the * •
last two or three weeks and have *•
warned dealers that by waiting
* until April or May to place or
ders, they will very likely not get
what they want. Factories cannot
take care of orders now as they * j
are wanted and are right now j
* oversold up to the middle of * i
August. For this reason they *
ask the trade to take as many *
jars now as it is possible to get,
giving them an April 1 date. The *
food administrator will lift the 41
restrictions on sugar so that the *
* crop may be cared for.

The things that don’t concern us are
generally the things that give us the
most concern.

It is one thing to cultivate friends,
but it is quite another matter to har
row their feelings.
