ReCorded-Grand Army and Cadet
Balls Will be Held Next Week.
Next Monday will be the anniversary
Of the birth of one of the greatest men
America has ever produced, her martyr
president, Abraham Lincoln. Many
people consider that L%incoln's birthday
should be made a national holiday rath-
er than Washington's, as Lincoln is
more closely allied to the nation as it
stands today. Be that as it may, his
memory should be revered and the
youth of our land taught to love and
than any other one person, made us
lone nation indivisible, with liberty
and justice for ALL"
