"These rails have become classical in
our history and the name Of "rail

His youth was now over and being
twenty-one years Of age, he left home
with q cheerful countenance to face
life's problems. He had no money OF
inheritance, but he had more than
that, an honest heart, companionship
with people, life in free state, and
faith in God.
He began his manhood by working
for Mr.. Armstrong, receiving his room
and board and studying in spare time.
He assisted in building q boat and

lowing year. He won 20 much Id
miration from his employer that he
was made proprietor Of the mans
store and mill, nevertheless studying
and watching the nations progress
every moment.
Early in the year 1882 the Black
Hawk war broke out and Lincoln was
immediately chosen captain Of a small
band Of New Salemers. But because
they did not come in contact with the
enemy for thirty days the group dis
banded. Later, however, Lincoln serv-
ed rs q private, winning love and ad-
miration from those who served with
him.
He then held his first office in the
service Of the government, being post
master Of New Salem. While per-
forming the duty, John Calhoun came
10 Salem and soon became a great
friend Of Abraham, advising him to
take up surveying.
As surveyor he trod a I,ath of
many difficulties, being often financi-
ally embarrassed until 1924, he was
elected by q large majority to the
legislature. During this period of Of
fee he became Influenced by John
. SSNeAS W oS0uy i0Ws
Dividing his time between law and
surveying without any social Interrupt
tions, he obtained a law license in
1886, being only 81 years Of age.
Through his practice Of law, he won
the friendship Of many people, especi-
ally in trial Of young Armstrong.
Armstrong was charged with murder,
but Lincoln, through his truthfulness
and brilliancy, proved him not guilty.
In 1912. being thirty-three years Of
ago, Lincoln married Miss Mary Todd.
Of Lexington, Kentucky. Abraham be-
came the father Of four children.
Lincoln had really begun his leader
ship career in 1884, being q Wing cam
didate for president from that time on
every presidential election until 1852.
During this period, he served both as
governor and in the senate. He was
chosen as a Republican candidate for
senate in 1853, Mr.. Douglas being his
successful rival.
There followed q series Of debates
which are said to be unsurpassed in
comprehensiveness, ability and elo-
quence.
Two years later, the Republican Ma
tional convention met in an. immense
building to chose their delegates.
Lincoln was among the 465 delegates
who were waiting the results. He
sat peacefully in his home in SPRING
field, where he received the announce
ments Of his nominations on all three
ballots.
Thus we have vaguely and roughly
followed the childhood and young man
hood Of this lowly-bon son Of q west
ern farmer to the presidential chair.
Altho uncouth and awkward from his
pioneer life, his soul was robed in
beauty. His culture was that Of q
humble birth and lowly home, but
this culture was that which produced
the simplicity and childlike charm
which won the love Of the people for
our martyr president.
Thus It occurred on the fourth day
Of March, 1861, the Inauguration Of
Americas greatest tribute to history.
Lincoln took the oath Of office on the
main steps Of the east front Of the
capitol, addressing thousands Of peo-
pie eager to catch a glimpse of this
outstanding character.

she had seen Joan's blunder. too.

She turned back to her books while

MARKET DEMAND IS
FOR FINISHED BEEF

| prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
Well-fattened beef animals weighing
from 300 TO 1000 pounds have been II
demand on live stock markets during
recent years. rather than animals Of
greater weight This has been the
result of demand by beef consumer:
for lightweight, high-grade cuts. Such

sarily be supplied by well-fnished ami.

The preparation for market of year.
lings, or baby beeves, requires more
skill than is necessary for the produc-
ton of animals marketed at more ma
ture ages, on account of their tendency
to grow rather than to fatten. To fat
EN- yearlings successfully, they must
be placed on a fattening ration when
they are weaned and kept on full feed
dAth My oiC iCddy lOi MAJ hCliI5 81
Every effort should be made to get the
calves through the weaving period
without loss of their milk fat. The
grain ration should be increased so as
to permit as little change In their rate
Of growth In fattening as possible.
Some feeders build "creeps" In the
pastures or lots so that the calves can
get their grain without being dis
turbed by cows. Creeps consist of
small pens with openings which per-
nit only the calves to enter. These
openings may have rollers on each
side to prevent brufsing the calves.
Calves from heavy milking cows
should be weaned gradually over a
period Of 10 to Is days. Fall calves
should not be weaned until after the
cows and calves are on grass. Spring
calves should either be kept on grass
after weaving In the fall, or be given
some succulent feed such as silag.. 1t
is advisable to provide them with win
ter pasturage such as wheat. oats. rye
or barley when soil and climatic con-
ditions permit.
