Lineoln's Gettysburg
Speech

There has never been a time,
and never will be a time since
Lincoln made his great address
at Gettysburg, that it hash t
been necessary to keep it before
the minds of the people, and We

time just before launching the

LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG
ADDRESS.
FOurscOre and seven years ago
our fathers brought forth on this
continent a new nation, conceived
in liberty and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are
created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great
civil war, testing whether that
nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great battle
field of that war. We have come
to dedicate a portion of that field
as final resting place for those
who gave their lives that, that
nation might live. 1t is altogeth-
er fitting and proper that We
should do this.
But, in larger sense, we can
not dedicate, we can not conse-
crate-we can not hallow--this
ground. The brave men, living
and dead. who struggled here,
have conSecrated it far above our
poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note nor
long remember what we say here,
but it can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for us the living,
rather to be dedicated here to
the unfinished work which they
who fought here have thus far
so nObly advanced 1t is rather
for US to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before US
that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last
full measure of devotion-that
we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not shave died in
vain-that this Nation, under
God. shall have a new birth of
freedom-and that government
of the people, by the people. for
the people, shall not perish from
the earth.

The Basket of Fruit
(From the Portland telegram

The local branch of the federal food
administration department is about to
launch campaign favorable to the
big Oregon apple. The boosting of
the apple is incidental. The conserva-

good health of the consumer is the
main purpose.
Fruit figures in the desert column,
but does it figure as much as it might?
DO we use fruit for desert AS a
steady habit or only occasionally? Echo
answers, only occasionally.
We are given to other forms of the

of sugar possibly more sugar than we
consume in the rest of the meal. Why
not sidestep the greater use of sugar
