OFFERS REMEDIES
Editor AskOv American:

| believe in what A. Nj. Simon
sen writes in the American issue Of
January IA about a One-man equip
ment to open up the roads in the win
ter time so everybody can drive to
town. AS to the summer maintaining
of roads l have a different way of
looking at the work. The One-man
machine work is not right. | notice
i'm number of places, even in one
mile, the hills are graded up just as
much as the low and level places. |
always believe the hills should be cut
down and low places raised, which
would require extra machinery to
load and remove soil.
Then, too, One-man outfit takes
the home work away from the farm
ers with teams or horsepower. | be-
lieve several of these farmers need
price of As cents per hour with man
and team is rigbtfully earned if his
time is worth anything at all. There
are several places where the road is
low with no soil to be used on either
side of such place Team work
would do better.
There are other ways to look at
this. If an outsider came in to take
the place of the home work, it would
be the same as if we all bought from
Monkey Ward instead of from our
home town store. I believe the home
people should have the right to make
the few dollars for road work.
In regard to DR.. James Slaven's ar
ticle | always believed we should have
full time county agent. To agricul-
ture the county agent is a big help
if we make use of him. If not, he
is no good to us. 1t is not county
agents fault If he gets his wages
without much work. We are to blame
because he does not know what we
need in help. A county agent can be
of more value to the farmers in a
good many ways than what his wages
come to. He is in that office for us
to use and benefit by. If we don't do
this it is not his fault.
Regarding Harry Hendricks OF inion
in regards to strikes: A group of men
can strike regardless of workers or
farmers. When a strike is called, it is
for every one to step out. Those who
remain are scabs and should be kicked
out by members, otherwise a union
can never stand up. We AskOv farm
ers dropped down a few steps two
years ago when we had our county
leader give us the understanding it
was o. X. to sell the cream and ruta-
bagas, but keep the rest. He made
scab cut of our Farm Holiday mem
bers. A good many of the members
were not able to look ahead. They
could only see the dollar of tomor-
row. That was not what strike was
called for. The strike was to show
our power and stand together. With
power we can make the dollar.
Through power the master class

the writer will repeat portion OF .
story he wrote several years ago. which
will give the particulars Of her mar
fiage and the place where the cere-
mony was performed. The article
was in connection with the sinking
Of the u. s. s. Princeton OF Alex

quoted the following from the Ma

Of that year, which said:

The preparations for the wedding
have been on the most magnificent
scale. The trousseau was mostly
selected in New York City, as time
would not permit of a full order being
sent to Paris; but the laces were
selected abroad, and exceed in beauty
anything ever seen here. There are
the other black. This is the munifi-
cent gift of the President to his
daughter"
RUT looking upon the sad side Of
the edifice. undoubtedly history
will ever record the funeral ceremony
held there over the body of the mar
tyred Lincoln as the most melancholy
OF all, and few who will familiarize
themselves with his life will imagine
that his term of ONCE was q bed Of
roses. Two Presidents had died in the
Executive Mansion before the mortal
remains Of Lincoln were returned
there on the morning Of April Is, 1865.

sion. But the nature Of Lincoln's
service to his country. and because the
war had been begun and had been
successfully concluded under his ad-
ministration, made the people feel
closer to him than they had to the
other Presidents who had died there.
Mourning throughout the country
was supreme, and even those who had
only lately opposed him in every way
joined in paying tribute to his mem
ory. His words Of wisdom are today
regarded as classics, and his great me-
mortal in Washington, though su-
perbly magnificent, can only reflect in
a very small way the gratitude and
love in which his memory is still held
by the American people. Indeed. only
those who were here on the scene at
the time Of the Civil War and were in
close touch with the President and his
family can appreciate the burden that
rested upon his shoulders and the
great strain to which he and Mrs.
Lincoln were almost constantly sub
jected.
A N INCIDENT that illustrates, in a
- measure. the ordeal through
which both the President and Mrs.
Lincoln went during those dark days is
told by the famous diva. Adelina Patti.
who visited Mrs. Lincoln shortly after
the death of her son. Willie. and Is
recorded as saying:
"The following afternoon my man
ager took me to the White House and
we were received by Mrs. Lincoln in
one of the big parlors. The Presidents
wife was a handsome woman. almost
regal in her deep black and expansive
crinoline, only an outline of white at
. throat and wrists. Her manner was

and his bride exchanging VOWS on
prie-dieu which has been used on sew
eral wedding occasions at the White
House."
The bride was given away by her
mother.
INDEED, not only was there but one
President married in the White
House, but only two-Cleveland and
Wilson-were married in washington.
But there were many other marriages
which took place there. some Of which,
it is safe to say, will never be sur
passed, and this is particularly so with
the marriage of Nellie Grant to Alger-
non Sartoris. Just a plain, simple.
popular girl-although she was the
daughter of the President Of the
greatest republic on earth-she had
won the hearts of all, and the whole
country wished her well.
Algernon Sartoris had come to
Washington some time before the
wedding, and on May 4. attended
the ceremony which joined in life
partnership Lieut.. Hooker and Miss
Stewart at the latter's fathers home
on Dupont Circle, known as Stewards
Castle. This was indeed a brilliant
affair, and those planning the White
House wedding were there, no doubt
to take notes.
On May 81, 1874. II days after the
Hooker-Stewart wedding. the Sar-
toris- Grant ceremony took place, and
for sensible arrangements and splen-
dor has rarely, if ever, been excelled
in this country.
THE STARS account Of this
notable ceremony says:
"The marriage took place in the
east room by gas light. This room Is
particularly suitable for so august an
occasion. It's decorations are entirely
Of white and gold. The many windows
are draped with lace The crystal
chandeliers are magnificent. each one
containing 40 burners. Today the
room was in its glory, for the floral
decorations added to its great beauty.

Kover|Y Proves
lobe Baxter S
Mat Master

George Koverly was just too
good for Laverne Baxter last night
at Turner's Arena, and George
tossed or punched Laverne for a
loop in 141a minutes Of rough play.
The long-awaited Battle Of the
Madmen Of the Mat" proved not
only fast but rough, tough and
altogether possessed Of unusual
hiStrionics.
Fans In Fight
The thing was contested much
after the fashion Of q prize-fight.
George, a former fighter, swung
q left hook which landed on La
verne's button. Down went La
verne. The spectators were
amazed, but not George. He knew
1t was over, and it was.
An elderly man at the ringside,
undoubtedly imbued with the
spirit of fisticuffs as exemplified
by Koverly, also swung a left at
a young man nearby. One of the
two unofficial fisticuffers was
taken, post haste, to Precinct No.
2, while the other, suffering bit
from the surprising blow, was re-
vived and taken out for air.
This last enumerated battle
proved that you must watch q
veteran when he's in a mood. +,
Strikes Youth
After their bout, as Jack Hader
and Ed Mesko proceeded to their
respective dressing rooms, that is,
II raSslers have respective dress

emitted a roaring Bronx cheer,
much to the anger Of one of the
raSslers, which one we do not
know. The raSsler hauled off and
cracked the Bronx cheerer, who
appeared unhurt as he wended
his way out Of the Arena still un-
loading Bronx cheers. =.
