LINCOLN

Norman Hapgood in Leslie's-Why
is Lincoln most loved Of Americans p?
Washington was a greater man of ac-
ton. In special intellectual attributes
Franklin and others have equaled or
surpassed Lincoln. What is loved III
Father Abraham is the whole person
ality-I might say the Christlikeness,
il Christ were not so out of fashion
at this moment. Lincoln's brains were
strong, but the best Of them was in
their moral insight. His mind and his
heart we're welded. He was n OF
the few tender and tolerant spirits
who ever climbed the twisting ladder,
that leads to political eminence. Nc
rancor marred his soul, no revenge,
no pride. He met public fury and II
passed hi mby. Against u imper'
~ialistic and tricky war on Mexico he
refused TO follow patriotism" The
youngest member of the Illinois legis'
lature, he was one of only two in tina
whole body that dared to go on record
against public prejudice on the mos'
sensitive issue of the day. When the
civil war was won he stood like a rock
against furnishing the south. His par
ty in congress and in the newspapers
was breathing the usual virtuous feroc
ity of c%onquerors. With matchless no
bility he took his stand on reconstruc
ton, and it will do any American gooc
to read his reasons for holding ou'
the hand of fellowship to Louisiana
The red-blooded ones were protestins
against such f~eebleness. What a mol
lycoddle Lincoln was, with his malice
toward none and his charity for all.
How serene and noble he looms. &c"
that the angry dust of those days has
cleared away!

HINTS FROM STATE COLLEGE

Gudrun Carlson, professor OF Home
Economics, South Dakota State Col.
lege, says: why feed cold pancakes
and slices of soda breads to the chick
ems or throw the mimic the garbage
IA when they can be used In making
a delicious rye bread? The cost Of
white -four and substitutes and other
ingredients of batters and coughs has
necessitated the formulation of a new
recipe in which all sorts of leftover
batters and coughs containing soda
might be used. This is the recipe as
worked out by the m in charge
of the. cooking for a club of forty
girls: Set a sponge at night as for
white bread, two dry yeast cakes, two
quarts of warm water, a little sugar
and -four enough to make a good
sponge and let stand over night. In
the morning prepare the leftover soda
breads which were in this instance
three dozen buttermilk pancakes and
one loaf of steamed brown bread.

ADVERTISING CHURCHES

Argus Leader-Another proof OF the
power of advertising has been furnish,
ed by the churches. Church attend
ance in Sioux Falls had recently
reached a point where ii was deemed
far from satisfactory by many Of the
pastors. An experiment was tried out
and ever since the attendance has
been growing n%oticeably in each of
the churches each Sunday.
A number of the pastors decided to
enter a non-sectarian campaign to 1T.
tract the attention and awaken the
conscience of the residents. The adj
vertisements were made in bold dis
play type in the daily newspapers
without mention OF any particular
church but offered the thought that

lie good and that all were welcome to
whatever n they saw fit to go. No
attempt was made to individualize
but after the first week, the attend
ance climbed. Men and women who
seldom darken the church doors are
now seen at services while some Of
those who had become less regular,
are now constant attendants on Sun
days.
People often know what they want
but need 10 be reminded. They are
always on the alert for inspiration
and if the work of the church is to
supply this, it would seem entirely fit
to advertise the fact in those channels
that reach the public. The practical,
everyday religion is the quest of those
who feel the spiritual need and to
give them the opportunity to obtain
it in a practical way is only logical.

not read them, or if they do they dc
not heed them. 1t often takes more
than a written sign to remind some
people that they are out of place. II
people are idle, by choice or other
wise, they must have some place to
spend their time, if they are home
less, and there are opportunities to
get in out of the cold, provided that
they furnish a little substantial pat
ronage to show that they are appre-
ciative of the privileges offered. But
the man who sponges on the public
all the time has no kind look from
any one or a good word spoken about
him. 1t is unfortunate that we do not
have industries here that might alb
sorb labor during the winter. That
would remedy matters somewhat and
go a long way towards solving a dis
c~ouyaging proposition. We ought 10
be thinking about home industries to
give employment to those who wish
to do something to make themselves
useful.

SLOGANS THAT STICK

Omaha World!Herald-Three or four
phrases uttered during the wal are
likely to be long remembered. One
of them, make the world safe for de-
mocracy," spoken by President Will
son, has already been repeated thous-
ands Of times. Another which has
become familiar to all Americans and
Frenchmen were the words of Gen,
Pershing when he placed a wreath on
the tomb of Lafayette. An Grafton
was expected, but he only said:
Lafayette: we have come" When
the Germans had smashed through
they were within thirty-nine miles OF
Paris, and one of their long range
guns was already Smelling the city
Gen. Foch said: "They shall not
pass" and he kept his word. But OF
all such phrases, the one that will
probably live the longest vas uttered
when Grant said: Let us have
peace" That is the desire of the
whole world now. and they hope that
the days of military autocracy are
ended forever. The whole world re.
peats at this Christmas time, with a
greater faith than ever before, the
words: Peace on earth, good will to
men," 1t is a phrase that has been
repeated at this season of the year
for nearly twenty centuries. Peace
will soon be declared, but the other
and most important part of the
phrase, good will" still remains to
be realized.

for public highways These are the
two biggest bond issues for state road
building in the history of the world.
For the same reason that it became
necessary to replace fifty and sixty
pound rails with double that weight
upon all the standard railroads of the
United States when increased trans
portation demanded heavier locomo-
tives and rolling stock, so has il now
become necessary to meet a similar
condition in respect to our principal
public highways, in view Of the in
creased weight and speed of vehicles.
The new conditions confront every
part of the country and each commu-
nifty must assume the initiative in
getting road building started. Those
that will be favored by better high
ways first will be those that are most
insistent upon having them. Put our
taxes to a real business use," is the
demand in many parts of the coun-
try.

STAND BY OUR ALLIES

There seems to be an impression in
Europe that President Wilson is op
posed to the French and Belgians re
ceiving at the hands of the peace com
mission the recognition of their claims
for indemnity that these peoples have
decided are coming to them from Ger
many. 1t seems to arise from too
much altruistic sentiment expressed
in the statements made by the presi-
dent that have been made public over
there. 1t would seem impossible that
with the full knowledge of the Grim
inal acts perpetrated by the Hun, that
our president can for a moment fail
to recognize the rights of those who
were the greatest sufferers. To desert
them now would seem as IL the Ameri-
can nation had lost their feeling of
sympathy and their desire to make
the guilty pay the price of their crime.
To fail to recognize the menace OF the
Hun ambition, not yet stified, would
seem to us at this distance to be the
height Of sentimentalism. No cry of
the possibly hungry hordes of Hun.
land can hush the dying shrieks and
agonized moan of those who were
beaten, outraged and left for dead on
the thresholds of their own violated
homes. No vision of a world brother
hood, that would embrace the Hun,
can shut out from the minds eye the
awfulness IF the scenes of this fierce
and vicious brutality. No man who
has not seen the actual miseries of
this awful devastation should be en-
trusted with the final word In saying
what shall be the penalty that these
miscreants shall pay. No man who
has not felt the agony OF these times
should be allowed to decide for the
whole world whether Belgium and
France shall not have the things that
they deem necessary for their rehabil-
itation and future safety. We are
hoping that our president has been
misunderstood and that when the final
report comes. we viii find that he has
been firm for justice and right, as
well as being merciful and kind. JUS
tice comes first and the tempering
with mercy requires a judgment and
caution.

on north, west and south sides of the
farmstead, with heavier paintings on
the north and west. This belt should
not be closer than two to three hum
dred feet from the buildings. An add
ed row, one hundred feet outside the
main belt of trees on north and west
will check the snow drifting in from
the fields and prevent its lodging

orally conceded that most protection
is needed on the north and west sides
of the premises, yet we find the winds
from the south and west during the
summer season do probably more ma

gardens and fruits"

information regarding Canada field
peas as a forage or threshed crop for
hogs and their effect on the soil. Re-
ply by DR.. A. N. Hume, agronomist:
I'VE think a great deal of these peas
in South Dakota as a catch crop, i. e.
as an annual legume to put in when
clover fails. But they have some linn
itations which make their general rec
o%mmendation seem doubtful. Espec-
tally if the season turns hot and dry,
they do not grow luxuriously. The
seed is expensive, so that in case the
crop fails the loss is great. The roots
are restricted so that apparently the
crop adds not greatly to the soil un-
less turned under"
