Powerful BottIeship

Can you imagine nine tons of death
dealing metal hurled for nearly twenty
miles in single broadside? Such an
almost unbelievable blast of huge pro-
jectiles will occur whenever Britain's
magnificent new 35,0O0-ton battleship
Nelson lets loose her big guns. For,
says Popular Science Monthly, the Nell
son, newly launched, will have the
most powerful armament Of any battle
ship in the world-nine 16-inch guns
each firing projectile weighing more
than a ton. In addition there will be
a secondary armament OF 6-inch guns.

A message was sent to the house by

amounted to nothing.
Several Democrats, who took part
in the discussion, complained Of the

while the Republicans retorted with
Jefferson Davis conditions about the

OUR
PROPHET
By
Joseph Oliver Barnhart

Around the ancient mountains foot
Gods people stood in awe.
And waited for their prophet that
should bring them down the law.
For days they'd stood and wondered
there until Jehovah came
And wrapped the summit of the mount
with clouds of living flame.
Gods trumpet pealed and upthe height,
beyond the wreaths of snow
Into the presence of the Lord they saw
their prophet go.
And he returned to give to them a
constitution grand
That made their state at once the dread
and wonder of the lands
He shared 1t not, but died alone, touched
by the hand of God.
And angels. where he sleeps today, are
watching Ger the sod.
Again upon a mountains height our
nation looks today
While from Its top the pale mists of
centuries roll away.
We see the glory of the Lord wrap the
tall peak In flame,
Again we hear the trumpet blast re-
peating LINCOLNS name.
We see him answering the call and
toiling up the steep
Till swallowed by the lurid flames that
round the mountain leap.
he comes DAck ana the mighty truths
God whispered in his ear
Shall ring through every age and CLINE
while men have ears to hear.
The law of Heaven, once writ in stone,
was written in his soul.
Till through it a divided land was
made q perfect whole.
A prophet of the Lord was he, mighty
in word and deed,
And not alone unto the race that he
from bondage freed,
But everywhere that man shall hold
his brother man In thrall
The name of Freedoms champion, the
noblest of them all,
Shall stand q synonym of right, mem
ace to all wrong,
Till all the world join in one grand
emancipation song.
We stand in awe, and wondering gaze
at the proportions vast,
Where each succeeding glory grows
still brighter than the last,
And in the suns last lingering beam
its light shall shine afar,
And when the sun goes down, its peak
shall point up to the stars.

pure Creamery Surroundings.

None but first class butter makers
or those who have sufficient under
standing Of the important relation
that odors End bacterial growth have
to butter making, can appreciate the
value of clean, wholesome creamery
surroundings. It is well known fact
that it is a bacterial growth that sours
cream and milk, and It has recently
been ascertained that there is among
many species of bacteria, one that
when given predominance in the
cream products that exquisite favor
which is so much relished in butter.
Realizing this, the up-to-date butter
makers are now inoculating (so to
speak, their cream with this species
of bacteria, or sourness. In other
words, their cream has that same
kind of sourness every day that
brings the desired flavor in their but

that the bread makers use. They pro

works on the dough and the butter
makers obtain from the laboratories

to Make Rural Life Fuller and
More Appealing.
The primary object of the boys and
girls clubs, which are being organized
throughout the country with the as
sistance of the department but in CO
operation with the state colleges of
agriculture, is to aid young people
to become more efficient and more
contented farmers and home builders
BY cultivating in boys and girls hab-
its of industry and thrift, the possibil-
tiles Of farm and country life are re-
vealed not only to them but to their
elders. The best methods of handling
farm products and preventing waste
are demonstrated, the spirit of coop
Grafton in family and community is
developed, and the dignity of the
farmers vocation enhanced by pre-
senting 1t as a skilled occupation,
capable of returning adequate rewards
to the competent. Finally, the school
life and the nome life of boys and
girls are brought into closer relation
ship, and the rural school teacher
aided in the task Of making agricul-
tural instruction a vital thing.
The clubs may be organized under
the leadership OF the county superin-
tendent of schools or any of the teach
ers under him. If the educational au-
thorities of the county are not yet
alive to the possibilities of these clubs
the county demonstration agent may
take charge of the movement, or il
there is NO. demonstration agent in
the county such organizations as local
chambers of commerce, the Grange.
women's clubs, etc, may assume the
leadership. The names and addresses
Of the boys and girls included in the
clubs are collected and sent to thu
state agent, who will furnish organize
ton and cultural instructions upon re-
quest.
Experience has shown, however,
that the difficulty is not in organizing
a club with large enrolment of
members, but in inducing these mem
bers to complete their work and to re-
port the results. The test of efIicien-
cy is not so much the organization &C
new clubs as continuing interest in
those already formed. The leaders
duty therefore is to keep in touch
with the members of the club. encous-
age those who need encouragement,
and to see that once a project has
been started it is carried on to com

Lincolr, on His
Last Birthday
Cheerful and Hopeful Of
Peace That Would Save
the Union.

!
The spirit Of Abraham Lincoln in,
the last days Of his life is typifed In
telegram which he sent from the
White House on his last birthday and
Is exemplary of the attitude he took
not only toward individuals, but to-,
ward the peoples and the states who
were opposed in arms to the Union.
The telegram to Major General
Hooker at Cincinnati read:
rs 1t Lieut.. Samuel d. Davis whose
death sentence is committed? If not
done, let 1t be done. Is there not an
associate of his also in trouble? Please
answer.
"a. LINCOLN"
Harsh measures were taken In the
closing days Of the war as result Of
the military rigors, not only In deal
ing with the enemy. but In dealing
with those within the forces Of the
North who were guilty Of desertion,
neglect or treachery. Naturally there
was a great cutlery in the North from
relatives and political friends of the
men condemned by military courts.
Continual pressure was brought to
bear upon the President throughout
the war in this respect, but he left
these matters to the discretion of the
generals In the field for the most part.
During the weeks preceding and fol-
lowing his birthday. February IL, 1866,
he gave special attention to these mat
ters. In the month of February alone
he sent at least ten kilograms sus-
pending or delaying executions or ask
ing for full reports Of the trials for his
personal examination.
Much Executive clemency.
The decree of the military courts, in
some cases, he upheld in others he is
sued pardons and it is said that in at
least one case the man who had been
convicted was In reality a government
secret service agent unknown to the
military authorities, who had convict
ed him for the very acts he committed
In the service of the Union.
Biographers of Lincoln have assert
ed that he felt premonitions Of his
death in the months following his sec
ond election, and If this be true ii Is
possible that the shadow over his soul
may have caused him to be more
clement than was his rule. 1t is agreed
by many that he was always compass
sionate and slow to condemn, but he
was sensible of the necessity for stern
justice and was not given to mock
mercy Of the weakened, sentimental
kind.
The Presidents birthday itself had
no significance in 1855. 1t Is doubtful
If many outside his immediate family
realized when the day occurred. In
the last stages of the Civil war the
nation was too sorely beset by press
ing, vital problems, sorrow and anxi-
ETY. to recognize the birthday of the
man who himself was the vortex Of
all the maelstrom of political, military
and executive activities.
Lincoln's last birthday, 1t is known,
saw him more cheerful, more hopeful
Of a peace which would save the Union
than he had been at any other time
during the war He had met commits
sloners of the Confederate government
on a steamer at Hampton Roads and,
although the interview had led to
nothing, the President felt that the
dissension evident between the COM
missioners from the South meant a
speedy conclusion of the war.
