A MAN MAY BE DOWN.

The, following abstracts from the
life of Abraham Lincoln should be en-
couraging at this time Only those
will fail who talk failure and success
is certain to reward those who take
an optimistic view
When Abraham Lincoln was a
young man he ran for the Legislature
in Illinois and was defeated. He next
entered business, failed, and was sew
enteen years paying his debts.
He was engaged to beautiful
young woman-she died.
Entering politics again, he ran for
Congress and was again defeated.
He then tried to get an appoint
ment in the United States Land Office
but failed
He became a candidate for the
United States Senate, and was badly
beaten.
He ran for vice president and was
once more defeated.
When you think of your lot hard
think of Lincoln.-American Legion

HARDING CHANGES
PLANS FOR IN
AUGURATION
SuggestsThat Actual Ceremon-
les Take Place on East Porti-
co. Doesn't Want Ceremon-
les Too Simple.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The cere-
monies incident to the Inauguration
of President-elect Harding will not
quiet return to the simplicity of JEFF
| ferson and Jackson, even though the
historic parade and ball will be "a
bandoned as now seems assured.
Senator Knox, chairman of the joint
congressional committee, today re-
ceived from Senator Harding tele-
gram suggesting that the actual cere-
monies be held on the East portico
of the capitol where American presi-
dents for years have taken the oath of
office and delivered the inaugural ad-
dress
Senator Knox and his committee
had submitted for the president-elect's
approval plan to hold the ceremon-
les in the senate chamber.
Without calling together the COM
mittee, Senator Knox, on receiving
Mr.. Harding's suggetion, advised the
president-elect he will transfer the
ceremonies to the historic scene, and
undoubtedly this will be satisfactory.
The committee will take formal action
on the suggestion tomorrow
Changes in the plans for the inaugu-
ration of President-elect Harding will
not interfere with the intention of
President Wilson to accompany Mr..
Harding to the capitol where the lat
ter will take the oath of Office, it was
learned today
Mr. Wilson thus on March 4, will
make his first appearance at the CAPT
tol in more than a year and half, and
also his last appearance as president
of the United States.
Other plans of President Wilson
for Inauguration day also are not ex-
pected to be affected by the changes
made in the inaugural ceremonies at
the request of the president-elect
After Mr.. Harding takes the oath
of Office he and Mrs. Harding in &C
cordance with custom, are expected to
entertain Mr.. and Mrs Wilson at
luncheon.
President Wilson, it also was learn
cd today, plans to leave the White
House for the home here which he
recently purchased on March, g. the
day preceding his retirement from
office
The new home is expected to be
vacated by the present. occupant Feb
ruary Is. and as soon as certain alter
nations have been completed the NOV
ing of Mr.. and Mrs Wilson's per-
sonal belongings from the White
House is expected to begin
Many of the President-elect and
Mrs. Harding's Belongings, including
some of those now in their Washing
ton home. probably will be moved
into the White House during inaugu-
raj week, and it was understood to-
day that Mrs, Harding or a represen-
tative of the future first lady Of the
land might visit the White House
within the next few weeks to arrange
preliminary details.

Objects to Inaugural Ceremonies
Being Too Simple.

Marion, Ohio, Jan. 12-Upseting for
second time the plans for his in
auguration, President-elect Harding
suggested to officials in charge of the
arrangements at Washington today
that they had gone further than nee
essary toward simplicity by deciding
to hold the ceremony in the senate
chamber. Observance of the usual
custom of taking the oath of Office
on the east portico of the capitol
building, Mr.. Harding telegraphed
Washington, would be quiet agreeable
to him. and permit a greater number
OF spectators to be present.
While Mr.. Harding is talking of the
inauguration, he is also working on
the cabinet problems and his propos-
ed vacation trip to Florida. No an
nouncement on either subject was
Forthcoming today. but it was indi-
Gated .there might be some. definite
news regarding both in the very near
future
The president-elect's conferences
on the association of nations, cabinet.
and other subjects are understood to
be almost at an end. it being under
stood he has made few appointments
beyond the present week.
The likelihood that virtually all de-
cIsions the cabinet appointments will
be made in Florida increased today
and there are indications that Mr..
Harding might even leave Marion

FARM And STOCK

J. w Carwile, McDaniels, was in
Hardinsburg last Monday and sold
c. Vic Robertson a year old jack
mule for $3.50. Mr. Carwile was very
we'll pleased with the price-Said he
paid Mr. Robertson 5000 for the mule
last spring worked him all the year,
which he thought was a pretty good
turnover. IL is so rare now that you
hear farmer say he is pleased with
the price he gets for his products. so
it was real pleasure to have met Mr..
Carwile.
Mr.. Carwile believes in raising good
cattle. Thorough bred Herefords are
his hobby. His herd is headed by a
thorough Hereford Bull He has
Hereford cows and heifers all will
be fresh in the spring and is expect
ing a fine bunch of calves. We wish
every farmer in Breckenridge county
had thoroughbred bull of some kind

soon be in the lime light for good

thorough-breds.
