This amount of none would en-
list the best efforts of the greatest
artists of the country and such q
collection, properly housed, would at
tract every Lincoln lover of the world.
This would make the tomb of Lincoln
the last word in detail. One of the
most expensive and desirable acQuisi-
tons would be a boulevard connecting
the state capitol. the tomb and the
Lincoln home. With this idea fol-
lowed out, criticisms that Illinois does
not appreciate her Lincoln advantage
would forever be sllenced."
Tomb a World Shrine.
Mr.. Fay, who, as custodian Of the
Lincoln monument, is recognized as
one of the best authorities on Lincoln,
asserts that there is a growing senti-
ment that Illinois does not fully ap-
preciate her great historical asset.
1.-THE home and tomb If Lincoln at
tract more attention over the world
than any other single feature, prob
ably more than all put together" said
Mr.. Fay.
IF the citizens Of Illinois were alive
to their historical advantage they
would appropriate a couple of mill
lion dollars to show their apprecia-
ton of what came to them by the
working Of fate. Nearly S3.000.000
was expended on the memorial at
Washington and II answers every hope
Of those who are satisfied with an ap-
peal TO the spectacular. 1t awes the
guest and gives friend and foe the
proper thrill. Something different
should be planned for Springfield"
Pushes Idea Before State.
Mr.. Fay suggests the monument
with the surrounding memorial hall
simply as a means Of getting his idea
before the public, believing that the
time Is ripe for Illinois to begin CIV
ing constructive thought to the mat
ter. The present tomb and monument
were erected in 1874 at q cost Of $780,.
600. 1t is in urgent need of repairs
now. Visitors comment on its condi-
ton. The small rooms in the base
of the monument are far too small
and the choice collection Of Lincoln
documents, memorials and souvenirs
cannot be displayed. Mr.. Fay's per.
sonal collection of Lincoln papers. pic
lures and documents more than I'll
the limited space at present.
There are nine acres in the Lincoln
monument plot In beautiful Oakridge
cemetery in Springfield, giving ample
space for the erection Of a fitting me-
mortal and shrine to Illinois gift to
the nation.

Sketch OF memorial suggested by
Herbert Wells Fay, custodian of the
Lincoln tomb n monument at
Springfield, III. It would be 500 feet
high and have a powerful searchliaht

In frames on the walls and in show
cases put pictures of every spot he
ever visited, letters and speeches he
wrote, things he said, stories he told
friends, documents and surveys he
made. A systematic arrangement of
all Of these would give a panorama
Of his life that would give a patriotic
thrill TO every visitor. American or
foreign.
"In this exhibit could be shown a
copy Of every letter, speech, survey
or document be made In chronological
order. Pictures of every person men,

Linseed, Alfalfa Meal
Good Corn Supplements

Tankage and skim milk are highly
efficient protein supplements to corn
for hogs, points out Grady Sellards
IN extension field agent for the Ken.
lucky College of Agriculture.
unfortunately" he continues, 1.-THE
production Of these two good SUPPLE
ments is insufficient to balance all the
corr fed to hogs, necessitating the use
of other supplementary feeds.
Although tests show that protein
supplements from animal sources are
more efficient than those from vege-
table sources, it has been found that
combinations of animal and vegetable
supplements are more effective than
either type used singly.
"Of the best Of these combinations
is found tankage. so parts; linseed OIL
meal, Is parts, and alfalfa meal. %
parts, all by weight.
alfalfa meal is not necessary when
hogs are running on good pasture.
Some hog men use the following pro-
portions: Tankage, so parts; llnseed
oilmeal, 80 parts, and alfalfa meal,
Is parts.
Alfalfa hay may be used instead Of
alfalfa meal. In practically all tests
the two have given equally coed re-
suits. In the event alfalfa hay is nor
available, clover or scy-bean hay may
be used"

Bought Lincoln's Chair

There were a few odds and ends
left at q Gettysburg (Pa.) auction,
and Thomas Myrick bought a chair
for S1.10. He took it home and found
under the cushion a card which said
that the chair had been used by Abra-
ham Lincoln when he came to Gettys-
burg to deliver the address which has
since become immortal. 1t also said
that the chair was formerly owned
by Judge David Wills, who was Lin
coins host, and the last line was the

Heroic Invocation

Maidens have always their little Sc
cret ways of invoking dreams. Here's
a confession of such a maiden, 100
years ago: "The night before Valen-
tine / got five bay leaves and pinned
four Of them to the four corners Of
my pillow and the fifth to the middle.
and then II l dreamt Of my sweet
heart, we should be married before
the year was out. But to make sure,
/ boiled an egg hard, took out the
yolk and filled 1t with salt, and when
| went to bed, ate 1t, shell and all,
without speaking or drinking after It,"
Well, such stole behavior was GER
tainly deserving of something In the

SANDING BELIEVED
CORNERED IN NORTH
FeIand Sees Quiet Election,
With Little Chance of Rebel
Disturbances.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua. July 25.--
Brig. Gen Logan Feiand. commanding
the American Marines, believes the
rebel general. Augustine Sandino. is
near the Honduras border with his field
of operations small He thinks there
is small likelihood the insurgents viii
be able TO cause any further serious
disturbance.
Threats that Gen, Sandino intends
to conserve his forces until shortly be-
fore the national election on November
and stage an outbreak to nullify the
election are not taken seriously in
Marine quarters,
Sometimes Sandino may cross into
Honduras and then return to Mica
ragua," Gen. Feland said. but the
scope of his operations Is confined to a
comparatively small area.
Patrol In North.
"The Marines are as active as ever,
patrolling the northern area and there
able to cause further serious disturb
ances. Patrols In both the east and
west are tightening their grip, making
it exceedingly difilcult for Sandino and
his followers to enter the populated
districts. or course bands Of lesser I'M
portance are still capable of causing
trouble, but We are much encouraged
over the voluntary surrender of nearly
600 rebels within a month In the
vicinity of Somoto. Ocotal and other
points in the northern area.
"A large percentage OF rebels now
with Sandino are Hondurans and sew
eral small bands also contain Hon.
durAns.
THE country may now be said to be
TRANQUIL, but there Is always the possi-
hility that the smaller bands my break
through the patrol, causing some dis
turbance. Because of this possibility
the patrolling continues active through
out the former disturbed area"
See Quiet Election.
The last contact between ground
troops and rebels occurred on May ID,
when q patrol of Marines exchanged
shots with rebels. This resulted In 4
few rebel casualties.
The last air contact, which was only
minor, occurred on July 8. The latest
serious air contact was on June L.,
when plane dropped bombs on n band
along the upper Bocay River, killing a
number of the Rebels,
At present there are nearly 5000
Marines In Nicaragua. These are dis
tributed at ~ different posts. II Is
thought that this makes disturbances
during the presidential election practi-
cally impossible.
The threats that Sandino intends to
conserve his forces for an outbreak
shortly before the election are not being
considered seriously either by the Ma
rines or by the Office of Brig Gen.
Frank Mccoy, supervisor OF the elec-
ton. In the opinion of the Marines
It will be difiicult for Sandino or any
other rebel band to disturb any cx-
cept the most remote OF the settled
districts,

Immediately after the injunction was
served and the workmen went of, leav-
ing the five sticks of dynamite in place,
the entrance to the bridge was barri-
caded On the barricade was tackled q
red sign which said "Stop!' Before the
barricade stood man. and in his hand
was req flag. To all motorists he
cried, stop! That bridge is full Of
dynamite"
Motorists SkepticaI.
Unheeding the peril before them,
many motorists lifted a superior eye
brow in the direction of the workman,
drove around the barricade and pro-
ceeded across the bridge. The work
man held his breath and thanked his
gods when they reached the opposite
side intact. But the strain was too
much for one watchman. Hastily a
call was sent for another and bigger
sign and 1t was placed in position. 1t
said:
"Stopl This bridge is charged with
dynamite. AbutmentS have been weak
ened! 1t may blow up or collapse at
any moment! You are warned not to
crosst"
That made things better. Motorists,
halting at the bridge. read and were
warned They turned around. albeit
sadly, and took the Smile detour. Some
went across, but they didn't enjoy the
experience With every vibration of
the car all in sight put their fingers in
their ears and waited for the explosion.
Some went across and then got so
scared that they couldn't run their cars
back They. too. took the detour.
And so, all night long. every time
somebody coughed the good country
folk awaited the boom that would prove
that the vibration had set off the
charge. Finally the cock crew. The
bridge withstocd that, too.
Then at o'clock, or thereaboutS
with all legal obstacles out of the way,
the dynamiters went about their task.
All persons within a radius of nearly
a mile were warned of the mighty ex-
ploSion that was about to occur. The
wires were connected The workmen
held their breaths. The foreman shot

The explosion that followed was about
as loud as the blast which would follow
the bursting of paper bag by a 4
year-oid child with sore finger. The
bridge, according 10 reliable witnesses,
shook siightlg--Yery slightly. One man
said II didn't shake at alI. but he was

sure it shook little. A bird which
had been sitting on railing of the
bridge got up and few away in disgust.
Dynamite Found Useless.
Mad clear through, the workmen

set that OF. This time everybody was
certain that the bridge shook, and there
was the additional evidence of rather

Britain Will Help
Idle Mine Workers
Migrate to Canada
Government Decides TO
Spend $4,000, 900 to Re-
lieve Unemployment.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 25.--The British gov
ernment is to send more than 16.500
persons to Canada from the British
mining districts at cost of $4,000, 900.
The purpose is to relieve unemploy-
ment. The plans we're announced in
the House of Commons by winston
Churchill. chancellor of the exchequer,
after a Labor motion to cenSure the
government for its attitude on the un-
employment question had been defeated.
Ramsay Macdonald, former premier.
In moving the vote TO censure, said
that more than million and quarter
persons we're without Jobs. He charged
that the government had been ineffec-
tive IN dealing with the problem.
Baldwin Admits Error.
Premier Baldwin in reply said Sc
we're depression existed in the staple
industry, coal. and in the shipbuilding
and cotton industries. He confessed
that his original diagnosis that unem-
ployment was due to general upset
ting of credit after the World War had
been proved only partially correct.
This reply was characterized by
Philip Snowden, Labor. as an abiect
confession of hopelessness and failure, !"
After the House had defeated the
motion of cenSure by vote OF 33l to
Isl, various projects for relieving the
situation were announced.
Movement of men in search of work
to other parts OF the empire would be
facilitated, the government announced.
winston Churchill said the question of
migration would be approached from
these angles:
To Facilitate Migration.
First-Obstacles would be swept away
to make migration easier
Second-A larger grant would be pro-
vided to enable emigrants TO purchase
outfits In the new country.
Third-A scheme would be put into
effect by which 2.500 boys, 1000 single
men, 2,500 families and 1900 single
women would be migrated to Canada
from the British mining districts. The
cost of this undertaking would reach
E600, 900.
Mr.. Churchill also said the govern
ment was contemplating a scheme of
settlement loans with the object of
stimulating empire settlement. This
was expected In time to cost $4,000 900
annually.
Premier Baldwin announced that Lord
Lovat, undersecretary for dominion af-
fairs, would leave In few days for
Canada, Australia and New Zealand to
discuss migration questions.
