LOCAL BANKS MAY HELP
OUT IN EMERGENCY

Because of technically arising
through the failure of the City Coun-
ell To comply strictly with the pro-
cedure of the law, sale of the
$4,000 bond issue authorized by an
act Of the last legislature, and bids
for which were recently opened by
the municipal officials, has been
voided.
The Council therefore. is confronted
with the proposition OF securing the
necessary funds to carry out project
ed city improvements. from other
sources and il is believed that this
will be possible by arrangements with
one or more of the local banking in
stitutions.
Acceptance or rejection OF the bonds
hinged principally. IL seems, upon
the point that the City Council did not
hold the special election within the
time limit prescribed by the bond
'ssue law. This, II appears, was in
advertently overlooked Despite that
fact, however. the election was held,
and the loan was approved by sub
stantial majority. although only
small proportion of the registered
voters of the city cast ballots. An
ordinance embracing the improve
ments proposed to be made, was
drafted and subsequently sale OF
the bonds was sduly advertised.
Bids were opened at a meeting OF the
Council on August z. last. Major
Joseph A. w. Iglehart, an investment
broker. OF Baltimore, submitted the
highest bid 101.S9. in a field OF three
prospective buyers. This. the munich
pal officials held to be a very crafty
ing figure. Major Iglehart accepted
the bids at that time, subject, how
ever, to the usual approval by attor-
neys as to their legality in all de-
tails.
Makes Alternative Offer
Major Iglehart appeared before the
| City Council at the monthly meeting
/ OF the body last night and announced
that under the circumstances he could
not accept the bonds, but as an al
ternative proposition. suggested that

They do little damage to the grain or

times get few grains Of corn or wheat,
but they do ten thousand times as much

They kill insects and eat weed seeds,

Abrabnm LINCOLN.

{ Dear Uncle Jed: Abraham Lincoln
was born in Kentucky FEB. ~, 1909, on
a lonely farm. When Abe was seven
years old his father moved with his
family to Indiana There he helped his
father build a new home. It was made
Of rough logs and limbs Of trees. But
this cabin was better than living out
doors. ?
The Lincoln family stayed in the cab
in about a year and then they moved
into a new log cabin with four sides to
it. "Aaoefs" mother was not very strong
and before they lived in it a year she
fell sick and died. She was buried on
the farm. abe" used to go out and sit
by her lonely grave and cry. 1t was
the first sorrow that touched the boys
| heart AT the end of the year his ia
tier married again. His new wife was
a kind hearted and excellent woman.
There was scfooll1ouse in the woods
and he went there short time. He had
half dozen books in all as his father
WaI Door. When he was seventeen
years old he could write good. do hard
| examples. and spell better than anyone
! in the county. At nineteen he was six
feet and four inches tall. Later Lincoln
and his family moved to Illinois. Abe
helped his father build a comfortable
| home and with John Hanks split wal
nut rails and fenced in fifteen acres Of
land for a cornfeld. When Abe was o:
age he went to keeping store. In that
| part there was a gang Of rufians who
wanted to pick "a fight with every stran.
ger. They attacked Lincoln but they
| never wanted to again.
Lincoln was elected to the state legis-
i lature, He was elected four times and
| later he moved to Springfield, Illinois fol
the rest OF his life. In the spring o.
1860 he was elected president of the
United States. Six weeks later a greai
war broke out between the north and
| the south called the Civil war. The
/ people ip the south wanted to hold
| slaves and the people in the north did
] not The war lasted four years and
| during the war Lincoln gave the slave,
their freedom in 1854.
At the close of the war 1855 Lincoln
/. was murdered by a mad man named
Booth. Not only the people Of tn,
north but the people of the south shet
tears at his death, because they felt the.

UNCLE JEp's TALK TO WIDE.
AWAKEs.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day. This is a
day when there is no school. when there
are usually public exercises and possi-
bly, a parade It's meaning is be1ning
more and more made clear to the Wide
AwaAes and they are able to get a BET
ter understanding Of it than perhaps
their fathers and ufothers at their age.
This is because the children of today
have lfred through the greatest war
in the history of the world, have seen
brothers and possibly fathers. or uncIes.
go into the service of their country, I'M
derstood how they had TO fight and have
never seen them again because the war
cost them their lives. Others survived
to return but that impressive sacrifice
has stamped itself indelibly on the minds
Of the children Of. today They know be-
cause they have seen It.
Memorial Day was started following
the Civil war Some southern women
conceived the idea Of visiting their dead
and placing flowers on the graves. II
was an idea that spread throughout the
states as a mark of respect to those who
made such sacrifices in the war OF
ISS1-5. They fought, bled and died in
that struggle quite the same as they did
over in Europe in the world war. The
cause was different, but they were fight
ing for their country and fighting as vol,
unteers.
The members of that patriotic army
are fast disappearing, but It is nevei
possible for the boys and girls to for,
get what they did that this might re
main united nation and slavery b.
abolished. Memorial Day always d.
reefs renewed attention to It and Their,
are also included those who fought il
other wars, from the Revolutionary Il
1.-THE World war. Placing flowers on tn
graves Of those killed or deceased il
a yearly tribute tc the heroic dead
the exercises serve to keep green tn
memory of those who have SO nobly re
sponded to duty at time Of war. Mem
orial Day must naver be neglected.
