Low Price Fertilizer.

a ~
The County Agent has received q
number OF inquiries In regards to a
fertilkef made from dead animals, etc
Several farmers have also brought in
samples. Owing TO the low price Of SO
per ton the fertilizer has made quite
lift In some sections OF the county.
The samples brought In, although
not official samples, they were sent to
the State Chemist at the University
OF Maryland for examination and an
aiysis. They were tested for ammonia
and gave an average of Is per cent
with value Of $1.2S per ton. Accord
ing ito the guarantee on the; tag we
have a value for all the fertihzing
elements at 1928 per ton for which
many are paying $40.
II. does not pay to use a cheap ferti-
lizer This fertilizer which would re-
Qnires / 0 tons to get about as much
fertiiizing value as Is contained in a
T-9S2 which sells for $40. Let us COM
pare. the value per acre Using 400 of
the 1872 would cost $500, while the
same fertilIzing value in $40 goods
would cost the farmer $40 besides the
extra labor in handling ten times the
bulk.
Why not use a high grade fertilizer

MEMORIES OF
L|NC0LN'S DAY
Told by One Who Was Ac.
quainted With the Great
Emancipation and His
Opponent, Douglas.

n FRS. JOHN LYMAN CHILD,
NH who is eighty-two years old,
~ knew Lincoln personally,
heard Lincoln and Douglas
debate, has a store of interesting In
cidents connected with her father-in-
law, an ardent Abolitionist, as well as
tales Of her father, who served ~ ad-
jutant-general Of Illinois.
Mrs. Child's maiden name was Mary
Ellen Anderson. She was born and
reared near Springfield, lived In that
locality for eighty years, and now re-
sides in Chicago.
Eyes, I remember when Springfield
was nothing but a mud-hole, when
the horses were driven to the court
house, unhitched, tied to the back of
the wagon and fed there. l lived on
a farm not far from town; We knew
the people in town and went IN to the
political meetings. In those days,
you know, two would talk together,
each trying to get voters Sor his side.
I heard Lincoln and Dcuglas stump.
Folks said that Douglas was the
smartest man but that Lincoln was the
shrewdest. Once I heard Douglas say
to Lincoln: You, sir. used to sell
whlsky!@
"When Lincoln got up, this was his
answer to that: Yes. I did. And
while l ofticiated in one way, you.
Douglas, did in another; you did the
drinking
"Douglas was n drlnker. They said
he made the best speeches when he
was under the influence. The day my
father introduced him to a little boy
who was for Douglas, though the boys
father was strong on the other side,
I know he had been drinking.
"This boys father. Stephen Child
the boy had the same name-was
known all around as an abolitionist.
The boy, only ten years old, for some
reason was not on that side. Once
saw his team being driven by little
Stephen out to the road as fast as
they could go. He hollered for the
boy to bring the horses back but he
paid no attention. After awhile Mr..
Child saw gang of boys drive back
to the house. They had pole In
their wagon. They took this out and
pretty soon began trying to raise It,
for flag-pole, in front of the house.
Mr.. Child (by the way, he later be-
came my father-in-law) went over
and offered to help, although 1t was
hickory pole. But little Stephen
said, No. this is Democrat pole
and no Abolitionist shall touch 1t!
"Little Stephen had two cats that

along steadily. then kick up its heels
and throw off its load right at the door
of another Abolitonist.
MY father-in-law used to hide the
runaways in his cellar, which had no
outside door, just trap-door in the
house. Once he had lot of them
there and searchers came along. sus-
pecting him. Mr.. Child told them
they were welcome to search. They
looked all around, but not in the right
place. That night he loaded the col
ored people in the bottom of the
wagon. piled on top bags of hay and
started out for Salt Greek. On the
trip at the side of the road he met a
man who asked for a ride. Mr.. Child
raised his whip and told him to get
out of the way, that he didn't want
any one to ride and hurt his load.
He got the people safely to Salt Creek,
there in Logan county, then showed
them the way north.

Lincoln was so plain and dressed so
plain; she wanted him to dress up.
When l first knew him he liked to
wear the linsey woolsey. He was a
homely man but drew people to him.
He was great friend to the poor,
than any other kind.
Everyone around Springfield sor-
rowed when Lincoln was killed. l
remember as though 1t was yesterday
his body lying in state there In the
state house. And l remember the day
my husband and went to pay our
respects that there was the biggest
fight on the streets of Springfield that
had ever seen. Colored people
had flocked there from all sides, they
were present In such numbers they
more than filed the sidewalks. There
really didn't seem to be any room for
any of the white people that wanted
to go to the state house. 1t was shout
ed that the colored people should go
out into the road, not take all the
sidewalks. A big fight followed there
was much noise and confusion. But
the police finally stopped it. Lin
coin lay In state day and night, an
army of people had opportunity to
pass along as he lay there with the
guards about him."

The Bible is literary, political. his

coin had only three books in his early
manhood: the Bible. Aesop's Fables
and Weems' History of the United
States. The Bible was the great book
that gave the martyred president his
simple, tender beautiful literary style,
both for speaking and writing. The
fables gave him his story Illustrations,
while the history made him familiar
with the great characters and events
of the nation. Leave the Bible out of
his life and he might have been a

Washington, January 24-Diplomatic appointments while William J. Bryan was secretary of state were assailed in the House today by Representative Rogers, republican, Massachusetts. during discus sion of the diplomatic appropriation bill. Some of the appointees. he said, had been atrociosuly pro-German, especially in Latin-America, and some were of ''the scum of the earth
 Representative Flood, democrat, Vir- ginia, asked if Representative Rogers would say who he means by scum of the earth"
 "Yes, I will," said Rogers, James M. Sullivan of New Jersey, who was retired on the recommendation of a commssion headed by Senator Pheian, democrat California"
 Capable men had represented the United States, Rogers continued, naming the late Walter Hines Page, in London, and his successor, John w. Davis, and added:
 But there is case of man who was still drawing pay as minister to a Central American country when he had not set foot in that country for two years.''
