THOSE OREGON HENS

What do you know about that re-
port from the city of Corvallis, Ore
gon to the effect that>a dozen hens
each laid more than 800 eggs a year?
Shall Oregon hens eclipse the hens
of "Ioway" at our own peculiar
game? 1t is stated that the west
ern record, which included 300 eggs
for one and 1923 for two others in
the contest establishes a new world
mark and that the land of irrigated
fruit products has taken the laurels
in hen fruit We could have en-
dured rivalry from most any other
section. but when this land OF the
artificial apples aspires 10 the real
stuff we pause to ponder II Is
that we will be buying Oregon eggs
wrapped in tissue paper at 10 cents
apiece. And they may not be first
class eggs. Bob Burdet@ was often
heard TO say: "A moderately good
man is like a moderately good egg"
But while eggs is eggs, there is some
difference between good egg and
one that is just little better than a
bad egg, We do know those big
fancy apples are mostly water,
pumped full with the substitute for
the seasons rainfallA Perhaps
the egg has been tempered with too.
II may be that inventive Oregon has
recipe for production that will
make for inferior quality We are
certain they will look all right, be-
cause Oregon products are great
for looks. but suspicious are bar
things, especially for eggs. and we
would be the last to raise them.
Anyway the Oregon hen is respond
ing nobly to the call for increased
production

LINCOLN, A MAN WHO
CTANnC ATnNU,

Lincoln was not a type He
| stands alone--Ilo ancestors, no fell
lows and no successors. He had
the advantage of living in new
country, of social equality, of per-
sonal freedom of seeing in the hor-
lion of his future the perpetual star
of hope. He preserved his individ-
uality and his self-respect. He
knew and mingled with men of
every kind; and, after all. men are
the/ best books. He became ac-
quainted with the ambitions and
hopes of the heart, the means used
+, to accomplish ends, the springs of
action and the seeds of thought. He
was familiar with nature, with ac-
tual things, with common facts. He
loved and appreciated the poem of
the year, the drama of the seasons.
Lincoln was many-sided man ac-
quainted with smiles and tears, COM
pick in brain, single in heart, direct
as light; and his words, candid as
mirrors, gave the perfect image of
his thought. He was never afraid
to ask--never too dignified to admit
that he did not know. No man had
keener wit, or kinder humor. He
was not solemn. < Solemnity is
mask worn by ignorance and hypo-
crisy--it is the preface, the prologue
and index TO the cunning or the stu
pid. He was natural in his life and
hought--master of the story-tell-
er'sJ art, in illustration apt, in appii-
cation perfect, liberal in speech,
shocking Pharisees and prudes, US
ing any word that wit could disin-
feet.
Lincoln was an immense person.
ality-frm but not obstinate. OBJ
stinacy is egotism-firmness, hero
ism. He influenced others without
effort, unconsciously; and they sub
mitted to him as men submit to nat
ure. unconsciously. He was severe
with himself. and for that reason
lenient with others. He appeared
to apologize for being kinder than
his fellows. He did nperciful things
as stealthily as others committed
crimes.< Almost ashamed of tender
ness he said and did the noblest
words and deeds with that charming
confusion, that awkwardness, that is
the perfect grace Of modesty.
Nothing discloses real character
like the use of power. 1t is easy
for the weak to be gentle. Most
people can bear adversely. But IL
you wish to know what a man real
ly is, give him power. This Is
the supreme test. IT is the glory
Of Lincoln that, having almost abb
solute power, he never abused 1t, ex-
cept upon the side of mercy
Wealth could not purchase, power
could not awe, this divine, this low
ing man. He knew no fear except
the fear Of doing wrong. Hating
slavery, plying the master-seek-
ing to conquer, not persons, but
prejudices-he was the embodiment
Of the self-denial, the courage, the
hope, and the nobility of nation.
He spoke. not to inflame, not to up
braid but to convince. He raised
his hands, not to strike, but in bene-
diction. He longed to pardon. He
loved to see the pearls of Joy on the
cheeks of wife whose husband he
had rescued from DEATH
Lincoln was the grandest figure of
the fiercest civil war. He is the
gentlest memory of our world.
