Horses have been running all over
the country all winter without food
or shelter. One bunch Of horses in
particular has been very persistent
in staying in this vicinity. Among
the horses is a little colt and it's aged
mother. The mother most likely has
served her master we'll and faithfully
for many years and then is turned
out in freezing weather to rustic for
herself and colt. The writer thinks
that the man who owns this mare
and colt should be ashamed of himself.
He too will some day be feeble and
weary. We wonder then if he will
be turned out to paw snow and eat
dead grass as his poor old faithful
beast Of burden did. It would be
well to remind this man of the golden
rule, olive and Let Live" We sin
cerely trust that these few lines writ
ten from a humanitarian viewpoint
will make our people wake up and
realize that according to law we must
be kind and considerate to their help
ers, the horses.

February IL, 1918, is the one hum
dred and ninth birthday Of n of
Americas truly great and good men.
Abraham Lincoln was born and reared
in the very direst kind Of circumstance
es. Yet he arose triumphantly and
victorious over every ostacle. He
was a kind father, a loving husband
and felt the blow that struck each
martyred home as though it was one
of his own loved one who had been
sacrificed on the altar of freedom.
Even this great and good man had
his enemies and political opponents.
He was attacked with hammer and
tongs from every conceivable man
ner by his political enemies and war
profteers. Nevertheless he was VIC
| torious and the south had proclaimed
him her friend and benefactor, when
his great and pure life was laid low
from a frenzied stark mad actor, John
Wilkes Booth. We have today a man
as our president who is of the same
contentious mold as the great Lin
coin. President Wilson has a larg-
er and heavier burden to bear on his
shoulders than any other former pres
ident. He has entered this war to
do away with Prussian might and
make them fill the logic of American
right. Still with the high and noble
ideal in view we find that he is be-
ing attacked by a buffer known Of
old as "Teddy the Terrible" "The
Man With the Big Stick" and q
thousand other sobriquets. Roosevelt
