 His fathers name was Domenico Colombo. who was weaver by trade. And the maiden name of his mother was Susanna Fontanarosa.
 Up until 1472 Columbus followed in the business of his forbear.
 He had neither university instruo- ton nor was he at any time navi- gator during his youth. :
 Family of Artisans
 All of the family were artisans. Columbus came into the world with nothing but a strong, clean body, honest parents and his faith.
 He is last heard of as having permanent residence in Italy on Aug. ', 1743. Followed several trips in merchantmen to England and once almost 10 Iceland.
 During 1477-7s he was engaged in commerce in Lisbon and in 147S married one Felipa Moniz Perest. rello of the same city who bore him a son whom he called Diego. All the while he was working or his new theory of a round world and lands undreamed of beyond the setting sun.
 Queen Gave Jewels.
 It is a matter of history how Queen Isabella gave him her jewels with which he equipped his three tiny vessels, the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria.
 Setting sail from Palos, Aug. 3. 1492, he proved his convictions, brought glory to the crown of Spain and happiness to mankind. This all happened because he had faith.

DUTY OF VOTING
President, in Letter to Women Re- publicans, DwelIs Upon Adyisabil- fly of Casting Ballot.

New York, Oct. s.--The duty of voting, aside from the privilege of citizenship it holds. was reiterated by President Coolidge letter to Mrs. Charles H. Sabn, president of the Women's National Republican club, which she read at meeting of business and professional women last night.
 The letter follows:
 Tt being impossible for me to accept your kind invitation to at- tend the meeting of the republican business women of New York under the auspices of the Women's Nation al Republican club on Wednesday night, October 8. I wish to convey my appreciation of the important public service being rendered by your organization in promoting reg istration and encouraging voters to perform their duty at the coming election.
 Tt is more essential than ever that we regard the right to vote not alone from the standpoint of the privilege 1t conveys but from that of the duty 1t imposes. Neglect of that duty does not harmonize with that high standard of citizenship which the past history and future aspirations of the American people should inspire. To this movement every citizen interested in the pub lie welfare should give encourage ment,"

The life of Christopher Columbus is story of faith.
 It is a beautiful story. as history recites, because it is filled with trust of men and brave confidence in self. Perhaps faith came easily to Go. lumbus because he was deeply re- ligious by nature.
 But 1t was a gift that served him in good stead. It handed down his name to pos- terity as discoverer of the New World.
 Lasting aFith.
 Faith at the outset enabled him to brave the wise men of his time and tell them that the world was round when they believed 1t fiat
 Faith 1t was that girded him with fortitude when twice on the out ward voyage a mutinous and terri fled crew made ready to cast him overheard.
 Land had not been sighted and the sailors grew afraid.
 They had heen taught that on the edge of the horizon was precipice and that any ship venturing near the edge would plunge off into linn itless space.
 StiIIed Fears.
 Through his faith, Columbus stilled their fears. He changed his course to soothe them and on the morning of Oct. 12, 1492, the island Of San Salvador hove in view.
 Columbus was born poor boy in the city Of Genoa, Italy, some time between Aug. 26. 1451. and Oct. 31 of the same year. Confused ac-

MEMORIALS TO COLUMBUS DOT
 THE UNIVERSE

Christopher Columbus probably has been honored with greater number of memorials than any other character of history.
 Italy. the land of his birth, is dotted with monuments of him. the statue in Genoa being the most note worthy.
 In Spain, the land to which he owed most of his achievements, there are many cities named after him, and the Columbus monuments in Madrid and Barcelona are among the finest in the Spanish kingdom.
 However the western hemisphere has done most to honor the great navigator's memory. Almost every capital city from Cape Horn to the arctic circle can show one or more statues of Columbus.
 At least one city Is named after him In every South American coun- try.

 will. to degree, influence the manner in which the farmer will cast his vote. The line represents the re- suits accruing to the average farmer through an exchange of the products he has to sell for the products which he must buy. It compares present. re- suits of this exchange with results Ob tained before the war; in 1913, to be exact.
 An abrupt upward trend of this line for the past two months has carried it to a point higher than it has been at any time since October, 1920. This means that the farmer is in an i'm proved position because he is receiving better prices for what he sells and must pay less for what he buys.
 During 1921 and 1922 the farmers hopes for prosperity were raised and

then shattered in quick succession The past twenty months, however, have seen the pendulum swing almost stead fly toward better times.
 When the farmer takes his vote to the polls he uses it, like any other in dividual, to express his approval or dis approval of conditions which are sup posed to be influenced by government If, therefore, he votes at time when he feels he is hopelessly caught between low prices for what he sells and high prices for what he buys, it is only natural for him to express himself as being in favor of radical change. Being of a conservative disposition, if the gradual improvement shown in the line above continues, it would be logi- cal to expect the rural vote in the com ing election to be tempered with more conservatism than if the line were tending abruptly downward.
