1t was made for the state Of Illinois
and is to- be erected in the state cap
itol grounds at Springfield and unvcil-

The head, shown In profile above,

| Abraham Lincoln was well acquaint-
ed with IabOr-and early in life.
Shortly after the Lincoln family
moved from Kentucky to GcntryviIle,
Ind, Thomas Lincoln put an axe into
his ninc-ycar-Old sons hands and
pointed to the surrounding forests.
From that moment Abe Lincoln be-
gan accommodating fame as a rail.spIit-
ter OF more than ordinary ability.
In fact ii is doubtful if America or
Gay other country ever produced Il
letter rail-Splittcr.
Lincoln went at his wood chOpping
job as seriously and as WhOlchcart-
eddy as he tackled law, legislation and
the war in after years
During the II years the family lived
in southern Indiana Abe acquired
great popularity as hired man.
When there was nothing for him to
do on his fathers farm he "hircd out"
to neighboring farmers, working for
% cents a day-sunrisc to sunset.
For that princely wage Git was
large then in that neck OF the wOods)
he was hostler, ploughman, wood
chopper, carpenter for the farmer and
carried water, built fires, and tended
the baby for the farmers wife.
Everybody jumped at the chance to
hire Abe.
When he wasn't raking in a quar-,
ter day from the neighbOrs, Abes .
father made good use Of his services.
He helped his father clear land, cut
fence rails, drove the team, threshed,
famed and cleaned wheat, hocd corn
and ground it into meal, took care of
what stock the Lincoln's had and was
first assistant to his step-mothcr.
In 1890 the LincOlns moved to cen
trail Illinois. Hero Abe helped build
the log cabin home, split enough rails
to fence 10 acres Of ground, and raised
a crop Of corn the first summer. Then,
at 81, he began padding his own
canoe.
His first job was to split 400 fence
rails for every yard Of brown jeans

j that was necessary to make him a
pair OF trousers. Being six feet four
| inches tall it was necessary for him
TO split a couple OF hundred more rails
than the average young man.
Equipped with new pair Of trous-
crs he sailed into the rail-splitting
business in a way that scattered chips
all over SalGam0n county.
When he wasn't splitting rails he
7vorkcd as farm lalorcr though no
lincoln hographcr has ever claimed
FOR Abe a bright and shining record
IS an expert agricultural. he wasn't.
Early in life he had annexed the habit
Of stopping the team at the far side
Of the field and climbing on stump
to read a book, which he always car
ried when blowing. Abe liked history,
biography and law hooks better than
q treatise on how to make two blades
Of grass grow where but one had
grown.
Abe Lincoln said OF labor:
Labor is prior to, and independent |
OF capital. Capital is only the fruit
if labor had not first existed Labor
is the superior Of capital, and de-
serves much the same high consider
alton.
Abe Lincoln said Of Holdicrs:
This extraordinary war in which |
we are engaged falls heavily upon all .
classes OF people, but the most heav- |
lily upon the soldier. While all con- .
tribute OF their substance, the soldier
puts his life at stake, and often yields
it up in his country's cause. The
highest merit, then, is due to the SOL

Abe Lincoln said Of loyalty:
"With malice toward none, with
charity fer all, with 1irmness in the
light as God gives us to see the right,
let us strive on to finish the work we
arc in to do all which
nay achieve and cherish just and
asting peace with all
Iations.'
