A NOTABLE MONTH

Aberdeen News: February, though
the shortest month in the year, is one
of the most notable in the calendar, to
Americans. For not only do ground
hogs day and Vaisntine's day come in
February, but a long list of notable
Americans conferred honor upon the
month by being born intFebruary. In
addition to Lincoln and Washington,
noted Americans born in February in
clude James Russell Lowell, James
Otis, Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman,
Gen. John A. Logan and Henry w.
Longfellow. The list is an imposing
one, and the public schools, in making
the feature of the month patriotism
and observing each one of the birthdays
of these famous Americans by appro.
pirate services, are doing a great deal
TO foster love of country and a desire to
do good deeds and live worth while
lives among the pupils Of the schools.

Secretary of State Bryan struck a
popular chord this week when he
stated that the markets of America
were opened to the world. That any
country could buy what America had
TO sell but this country could not un-
dertake safe delivery of such pur-
chases. If England controlled the
seas 80 far as the warning nations of
Europe were concerned he saw no
reason why the ports oil America
should be closed any more than they
should be closed should Germany be
master of water transportation. This
