vile, in; LaRue county but in
Washington county. These gen.
tlemen. put their opinions up
against Mr.. Lincoln's own words.
He says he was born in Hardin
county on the 18th day of Febru-
airy 1909, LaRue county was then
part of Hardin. It is general
ly presumed that a man knows
when he was born and where he
was born, not of his own person
ly knowledge, for that is impossi-
BILE, but from knowledge, derived
from his parents. If our friends
| McChord and johnson had some
one to dispute the place where
they were born they would think
it very absurd. Is not Mr.. Lin
coin himself entitled to be con-
! sidered the very best authority as
to the place of his birth as much
as any other man? He certainly
had better opportunities to know
where he was born than men
who were born fifty or sixty
years after his birth. Mr.. Lin
coin furnished to the Congress
sional Directory when he was
first elected to Congress a state
ment that he was born in Hardin
county. There is indisputable
evidence in the hands of the Lin
coin Farm Association that he
was born in Hardin county.
There is a letter in existence
written by Mr.. Lincoln when he
was President to Mr.. Samuel
Haycraft. then the Clerk of the
Court in Elizabethtown in which
he says again that he was born
on the farm in what is now La
Rue county where the celebra-
ton is to be held. The truth OF
the whole matter is that the
place where Abraham Lincoln
was born is as well established
as any other fact in history. E

Farming in Winter.

Those of us who are not very
old can remember when the far
mer had little if anything to sell
in winter. There were few po-
tatoes and little poultry. The
cows were dry during most of
the winter, and the feeding
cattle were not matured till well
toward spring. Life on the farm
was a sort of Information, with
just enough going on to keep
the stock alive and the roads
broke so that the store and post
Office might be reached.
What a change has b e e n
wrought in a few years! Lambs
forced for the January market:
the winter dairy of large pro-
auctions right in the season
when prices are the highest;
potatoes going to market by the
car loads when there is no
danger of a freeze; crates of
eggs, evaporated fruits, baled
hay, wheat and hogs turned off
at the top of the market.
There are thousands of far
mers who find the winter the
most profitable season, and more
and more winter activity is
coming to be the rule. This is in
a line with the steady growth of
agriculture into a well-regulated
business are as exact in methods
and as certain in results as mer-
chandising and manufacturing.
The days. of grounding farm
ing are over. There is no hib-
eruation among the sturdy young
men who have attended the
agricultural college and have
learned to seize opportunity by the
foretop and have something to
sell every day in the year.

The Advance in Price of Lands.

One of, the remarkable features
of the so-called panic of 1907 and
its consequences is it's failure to
adversely affect the prices or
values of the agricultural lands
of the country. Prior financial
disturbances invariably did so.
The panics of 1857, 1873 and
1893 were each followed by
serious depressions in the values
Of real estate of all kinds, and
especially of the farming lands
of all the States, regardless Of
location or condition. In this
latest of our monetary stringen-
cies there has occurred nothing
in the way of reduction in realty
values in any of our cities, and
in the country there has been
during the past two years an
actual increase in the areas of
cultivation, an increase in the
values of production and general
and widespread increase in the
values of not only cultivated but
of uncultivated farm lands. No
better evidence of the superficial
nature of the panic could be had
than this, and no stronger proof
of the absolute sound financial
position of the agriculturists of
the country and the prosperous
condition pertaining to our agri-
cultural interests than this gen.
eral steady and pronounced ,ad-
vance of the prices Of the titled
and untitled lands Of the United
States. 4

Church Property.


cided in the Court Of Appeals of
Kentucky in regard to the con-
tention some Cumberland Pres !
byterians are making, and where
test case went up from the
lower court, Judge Barker rem
derer the decision, in which he
states that the only way the
Cumberlands can retain tn cir
church property is to submit to
the Union. The concluding para
graph in Judge Bakers decis-
ion is as follows, the Judge be-
ing a member of the Christian
Church:
In conclusion, we deem it not
improper to say that owing to
the great Importance of the ques-
ton involved in this case, we
have given it our most careful
and impartial attention. Pres
byterian faith must remain ever
separated, although the causes
which originally divided them
have disappeared in the light of
modern theological evolutions, is
one which must give solicitude
to all who have the advance
ment of civilization at heart.
The history of the Presbyterian
Church is the history of a very
large part of what we know and
enjoy of civil and religious lib
erty. The teachings of her faith
are such as have always attract
ed to her the most lofty minds
and the boldest spirits; in fol-
lowing her path through the
pages of history, whether her
votaries be called Lutherans, as
in Germany, Huguenots, as in
France, Covenantern, as in
Scotland, or Puritans. as in En-
gland, they will always be found
to be among the bravest and the
best. AS a religious organiza.
ton, it had no compromise along
the lines of conscience to make
with power, and it could be de.
fiected from the path of rectitude
neither by the frown of authori.
ty, nor the Establishments of cor.
ruption. With the same indom.
liable courage, it confronted the
naughty princes of the House OF
Tudor, and the crowned weak
lings of the House of Stuart
with the same words of scorn-
full condemnation it rebuked the
sins of Messalind on the throne
and the wanton in the street.
Her path has led her oftener in
to exile than into favor with the
great oftener to the dungeon
and the stake than to t h e
pleasures of kings houses, or
the friendship of courtiers. But
under her searching gaze the
shackles have fallen from. the
human mind, and the divine
right of kings has shrunk to the
mean thing it now appears.
Whether battle was to be
fought for human liberty when
ever a forlorn hope was to be
led, or a mine braved for con-
science sake, whenever t h e
blood of a martyr was needed as
a testimony to truth, her
answer was always that of the
prophet of old, Here am I; send

 niture, cheaply put together, is a poor
 investment and an expensive luxury.
 The general color scheme of the room
 is naturally fixed by the color scheme of the side walls. and little departure can be made from that scheme. The side wall dominates the coIor-the con trast Is secured from bright flowers, growing plants, hanginss and rugs. The furniture should be Of wood that har- monizes with the side walls.
 The Value of Mahogany
 There IS no better selection of wood for the furnishing Of a living-room than mahogany, but 1t IS often a rather ex- pensive tax upon the purse Mahogany furniture comes in simple and graceful designs. The revival of the use of the old Colonial styles, with their beauty and simplicity of design, and best of all, the comfort of the great chairs with their luxurious depth, more than com Pensate one for the extra expense However, some of these chairs are very moderate in price. The winged chair to place near freplaces, and the Martha Washington chair near windows, have no superior for comfort and design, as well as for durability.
 In furnishing this living-room, which is the family room, 1t mast not offend the personal taste of any member Of the family. Furnishing depends largely on the occupants, whether they are large or small people, young or old. grave or gay, children or adults All the family arc represented in some way and should be considered.

rugs, for heavy-shaded globes, for tf - air of seclusion and the air of quiet. Window seats are comfortable, desirable and artistic, but beware of the cozy corner
 The Dining g-Room
 The dining-room to-day is a place where we entertain our friends. It has more care in. its treatment than any other single room in the house It is dainty, attractive and a softly colored room. The tendency at the present day Is towards the wood wainscoting; then the soft, velvety-toned side wall and the softly-toned or beamed ceiling. The big drop dome-light over the dining table gives an air of hospitality, keeps the glare of the light away from the eye and fixes 1t upon the hospitable table and its savory viands.
 The use of the buffet is rapidly sup planting the sideboard, for it IS less cumbersome, more graceful and saves space. The serving-tablc adds much as a convenience, and the china cabinet holds the choice pieces of tableware.
 Dining-rooms in Delft blue with light woodwork are good; dining rooms with green walls and white woodwork are fine; dining rooms of the soft light tans, especially on the north side of the house, are exceedingly restful and al ways harmonious
 The floor covering in the dining room should be of nature that can be kept clean. Rugs are far better than carpets, for they can be taken up and shaken. The Kitchen
 The kitchen in every home should be the model of neatness as well as of convenience. The ideal wall for the kitchen IS the tinted wall made water proof If this is impossible because the kitchen has been in use many years, the next thing IS to paint the wall with good oil paint. Kitchen walls require constant sweeping down and frequent recoating.

 Uniformity in Furnishing Desirable
 The safest way is to adopt a general style in furniture and single kind of wood If the style is to be English Colonial, let it be that If 1t IS 10 be Mission, let it be that; but avoid mixing the types of furniture just as you avoid mixing weathered oak, early English stain, with mahogany. The various kinds do not harmonize, and they give the house the appearance of q poorly arranged window display for advertis- ing job lots of furniture.
