them through against hail and
drought and spring and fall frosts.
II they lost-well, they still had their
jobs.
Brown and Hubbard got away to a
bad start. Owing to the rush of war
business their tractor reached them
nearly two weeks late. The season
was so far advanced that they could
get in only about 500 acres. The
crop was pinto beans, the only one
that could be put upon raw land the
iirst year to produce immediate re-
suits After they had planted about
200 acres and the young beans were
showing, a killing frost swept eastern
Colorado and nipped the tender
shoots. This acreage was reseeded

Before the beans were threshed, as
soon as they were cleared from the
ground, plows were at work turning

(By William Macleod Raine)

This is the story of how two men.
beyond the age for service in the
firing line, dug trenches In the Colo.
RADIO Desert and fought with nature
as soldiers Of the soil.
Sherman Brown and Lyndon r.
Hubbard are clerks associated with
the district court at Denver. Brown
has farmed as side line for years.
The agricultural efforts of Hubbard
have until lately been limited to dig
ding dandelions out Of his front lawn,
When the food shortage doomed IN
as a possibility these two men at,
tackled the problem with practical
patriotism none the less real because
they hope to make profit out of
their venture. They leased 1000
acres Of dry land near Hudson about
50 miles from Denver

edge of the irrigated district. Cactus
and greasewood had been its only

fenced, the ground unleveled, q
stretch of wind-swept sand that had
lain idle since the beginning of the
world. 1t looked like the country
God forgot. But the imagination OF
Brown saw it transmitted into fer

The preliminary output was rather
appalling for men who work to earl

Abraham Lincoln was the choice
of many men for governor of Illinois,
but he illustrated his political sagac-
ity by suggesting instead the nomi-
nation Of an -Nebraskan Demo-

like himself. He recommended Will

Bloomington three months later Bis

Simplicity is the keynote Of all
formal gowns. Lavish and costly
trimmings are no longer fashionable
although beaded gowns are still in
high favor. The reason for this be-
ing that beads are one Of the few
imports that are not restricted.
The gown pictured is simplicity
itself It's exquisite draped skirt
and bodice are devoid of any ves-
tige OF adornment save for a single
velvet orchid caught in the folds Of
the corsage.
Pale pink satin fashions the skirt
and the sleeveless bodice is Of silver
cloth. A brilliant dash Of color is
added by the huge fan Of turquoise
blue ostrich feathers.
These feather fans were popular
many years ago and have come back
into favor during the past season.
One can not attend any formal or
semi formal affair without seeing
them waving gracefully and adding
brilliant contrasting touches to the
gowns. Black gowns are set off by
bright orange fans or pale yellow
ones One youthful debutante wore

popular for the matrons and is ef-

Majors Hall, where the historic
convention was held, still stands.
So far as known, none who attended
that famous gathering is now living
If any can be found they will have
a place Of honor upon the plat
form during the anniversary cele-
bration. Lincoln was one of the
eleven delegates from Sangamon
county. John M. Palmer represent
ed Macoupin county. John G. Nico-
lay, biographer of Lincoln, came
from Pike county. Richard Yates,
Sr, later governor, was sent from
Morgan county. Owen Lovejoy was
present from Bureau county. When
the ticket was completed Lovejoy
spoke for half an hour. He was fol-
lowed by Lincoln, who spoke for an
hour, holding the convention spell
bound by the power of his argument,
the irony of his invective, and his
earnestness. The reporters were so
enthralled that they forgot to take
notes. Not until he had concluded
was it realized that the great speech
was unrecorded.
