tonight, said the name of the mar
tyred president, whose last resting
place ia Springfield had become a
flaming torch" that fires the pa
triotism of every American whether
at home or facing death on Europe's
battlefelds
What American can be cOwardly
when Lincoln's courage so inspires %
demanded the speaker.
What American be selfish when
his unselishness is recorded on every
page of history? What American
can prefer the claims of ambition or
party in the face OF his fOrgetfulness
Of all personal and partisan feeling
before an imperiled nation? What
American can entertain or even toll
crate the thought of a divided alleg-
lance in the face of his passionate
patriotism and of the infiexible reso-
luton with which he fought for a
united nation?"
No one, the speaker added. could
doubt where Lincoln would stand if
i'm the crisis through which the coun-
try is now passing he was still it's
ruler.
The first and most fundamental
of Lincoln's convictions was passion
ate love OF liberty and passionate
hatred of slavery" the speaker con-
tinued.
He said there is no difference in
essentials between the enslavement
of the Negro and such enslavement
as Germany today breaches in her
gospel of world domination and
practices while her sinister mastery
lasts in Belgium. France and

MAKING SUGAR BEET SYRUP.

The best beet syrup is made from
fresh ripe sugar beets. In making
syrup at home it is more satisfactory
to work on a comparatively large scale,
using from one-half to one bushel Of
beets at time The first step is to
wash and scrub the beets thoroughly,
and if it was not done when harvest
ing the roots, the tops should be cut
off at the lowest leaf scar. This is
important because the crown Of the
beet contains large amount of min
eral salts, which would make the sy-
rup bitter.
The beets are then pared and cut in
as thin slices as possible. A bushel
Of beets will make approximately two
bushels Of slices, which should be
placed in barrel, and covered at once
with hot water. The sliced beets
should be allowed to soak for about an
hour and stirred occasionally without
uncovering.
In drawing Off the liquid strain it
thru several thicknesses Of cheese
cloth or a thickness of canton flannel.
No pressing is needed to remove the
juice. The slices from which sugar
mas been extracted may be fed to live
stock.
Place the juice in kettle and boil
slowly until it is evaporated to the
right thickness. While the syrup is
boiling scum will raise to the sur
face, which should be removed COM
pletely as soon as it appears. This is
because it contains the strong beet
like flavor and when removed leaves
!. sweet syrup. When the syrup is
boiled down sufficiently and has been
skinned carefully, it may be can
ned for future use by pouring into
hot containers, process 10 minutes
and seal completely. 1t can be used
as needed for all purposes for which
other syrups or molasses are used. 1t
will be found especially nice for table
use.-L. Fitzgerald, NJ d. Ayr Col
