but he was man who had the
the great ideas of the common
people. He recognized that he was
the servant of the common people,
and not their leader or their mas
ter.
He was universally loved, because
he loved universally. He loved men,
and they loved him in return. 1t
was truly said of him that his heart
was as great as the world.
There has been much question
as to whether he was Christian or
not. Many preachers have held him
up as an example of Christianity.
On the contrary, others have tried
to prove that he was a free think
er. Whatever was his religion, it
was the common divisor of all
creeds. He fully carried out the
precepts of Jesus, at least His prin-
ciples. There never was man who
more exemplified the fundamental
basis of all religions. He loved his
fellow men, and tried to do them
good.
He had a sense of play. Probably
no time was more terrible than his
time, no time was more filled with
the passions of men. But through
all this, he kept his sense of play,
and was enabled to see the funny
side of things. This sense of play
is a most human characteristic. It
helps one to bear his burdens, and
to see things in their proper per-
spective.
It was the common criticism of
Lincoln that came at last to his
advantage. He was criticized for
being ugly, and awkward, and
homely. But it was these qualities
that endeared him to the common
people. A great many of us are ug-
ly, and awkward, and homely, and
we are brought near to him.

Lincoln

Do you ever realize that the
reason so many people love Abra-
ham Lincoln is that he was COM
mon or ordinary man?
Most people who acquire distinc-
ton do so because they possess
some quality or talent that makes
them exclusive Such, for instance,
was the case of Chopin, of Glad
stone, of Mendelssohn, and of many
others who were contemporary
with Lincoln. But Lincoln is re-
markable in that he possessed no
exclusive ch 0rac.eristics.
He was not good-looking. He was
homeIy m N. And most of us are
honelv. He once said that God
must love common people, or COM
mon-looking people because He
made so many of them" It is no
perhaps one may be pardoned for
disgrace to be good-looking, and
taking reasonable pride in his pull
chritude. But just the same, with
most of us good looks are conspic-
uous by their absence. Lincoln be-
longed 10 the great majority in this
respect, as he was not a cookbook
ing man.
He was not learned. He was not
a Great scholar, as was Gladstone,
nor was he a great musician, nor a
great artist. He was great, but his
greatness consisted in the qualities
which all of us have.
He was not clever. He was just
like the rest of us in this respect.
but he was man who had
and gentle impulses which we all
have. When we say he was noted
for his kindness, we but state that

Well Folks
A lot has happened in the last
week or so. I've was off with the
Flu for nearly a week,-That's
why we missed the deadline last
sweek.-Then, too L was tied UP
with the escrow people in trying
to clear up the deal for this prop
erty. I've been five years now
really trying to buy it, and now
at last I guess that 1 have Suce-
eded. Now maybe 1 can feel justi-
fled in making some of those i'm
provements that I have had in
mind for so long.
OF course I'll have to whittle
the mortgage down quite a bit
before I'll be able to put a new
building on here as l would like
to do. Watch our dust from now
on. We are really going to try to
do something now. All we will
need is your continued support.
For some reason, last month was
the. largest month in dollar
volume, that we have ever had.
We are hoping to keep it up there,
or above. We have a large and
varied stock and plan to keep
it that way for your convenience.
This week we have a new item
to offer you. At least it is now
on the market for the first time
since before the war Al BEER
IN CANS. Needless to say they will
be the cheapest canned beer on
the market at lie per can and
$500 per case of "a. Come and
get 'em! Or any one of your choice

Court Gives Mother, 86,
Injunction Against Son

An 86-year-old mother yesterday
obtained a temporary order in Dis
trict Court restraining her son from
disposing of a joint bank account
and a deed of trust note she stated

Justice David A. Pine signed the
order and scheduled hearing July

2 Streets Now Named Leboun,
Southeast May Get a Third
Postal Officials Feor
Even More Confusion,
Hearing Tomorrow

The Commissioners tomorrow will
weigh evidence on whether there
should be three separate Lebaum
streets in southeast Washington or
only the two already there.
OF added interest is the question:
Who was this guy Lebaum any
way?'
District officials couldn't say yes
terday. The Post ONCE Department
didn't know nor do the readily avail
able reference books answer the
question.
The Post Ofice, mildly aroused
over the prospect of dealing with
three separate Lebaum streets, has
written to the Commissioners with
the objection that the situation is
confusing enough now.
Would Have Same Numbers.
w. Gordon Bell. assistant post
master of the District, pointed out
that the proposal to change the
name of Orange street east of
Nichols avenue S. E. to Lebaum
street would create three different
Lebaum streets.
The present Lebaum streets run
at right angles to each other. The
third would run parallel to the east
and west street of that name and
carry the same street numbers just
four blocks south. The Congress
Heights Citizens Association made
the proposal.
The legally-required public hear
| ing on the proposal will be, held
before the city heads in the District
Building Board Room at 10 am.
tomorrow.
Also to be considered are propos-
ais to-
Change the name of Congress
/ road Sc, between Alabama and
Nichols avenues, to Randle place;
change Gooch street NV. between
Charleston terrace and Brewer
place to Indian Rock terrace;
change You place Sc. from Branch
avenue west to Park drive, to Park
drive and to change Thirty ninth
street Sc, between Thirty-eighth
street and Massachusetts, avenue to
Carpenter street.
Other Change Opposed.
Postal authorities do not plan
! to send a witness to the hearing
but they also object to the pro-
posed change of You place because
it would disrupt the alphabetical
sequence in that neighborhood.
Getting back to the proposed tri-
plif1cation of Lebaum street, Mr..
Bell suggested that the District
would do better to change the 2900
olock of Lebaum street-which Is
right beside the 500 block for some
reason-to Third or Fourth street
and leave Orange street as 1t Is.

Martin Man Named
To Farm Loan Staff

Appointment of William G.
LUebcke, of Route /, Martin, to a
three-year term on the Farmers
Home Administrator county COM
mittee for Ottawa county, was an
nounced today by H. B. Swearin-
gen, county supervisor.
Mr.. Luebcke succeeds Harold H.
Benin, whose term expired June
80. Also on the committee are
Clifford A. Miller, Route 1, Ell
more, and Mrs. Orpha M. Win
disch of Route /, Oak Harbor. A
committee of three serves in each
agricultural county throughout the
Nation in which the agency makes
farm ownership and operating
loans. Appointments are scheduled
so that a committee always has
two experienced members.
The Ottawa county committee
has an important place in making
supervised credit available to local
farmers, according to Swearingeh.
Before any money can be bor-
rowed through the agency an ap-
plicant must have the approval of
the county committee. In the case
of farm ownership loans, the farm
to be purchased, enlarged or i'm
proved must also be approved by
the committee. "The members
know agricultural conditions in the
county, are often familiar with the
farm the applicant plans to oper-
ate,' Mr.. Swearingen explained.
In addition to approving loans
the committee cooperates with the
county supervisor in overall ad-
ministration Of the program in the
county. Periodically they review
the progress of borrowers to deter
mine whether they have reached
financial position that would
enable them to refnance their
loans through private leaders. A
farmer who is eligible for credit
from regular lending sources is not
eligible for a loan from the
Farmers Home Administration. Us
ing this system of operation, the
agency has helped a large number
of families in Ottawa county to-
ward better farming and better
living with farm purchase and
farm operating loans.
The office for Ottawa, Sandusky,
Seneca, Crawford and Wyandot
counties is in Tiffin and anyone
interested can inquire at Mr..
Frimm's Office in the Post Office,
Oak Harbor, or see Mr.. Swearin-
gen on the second floor, Post Of
fee, Fremont on Monday after
moons from 1870 to $3.50 p. m.
They can also contact the office in

COLUMBUS-A scientific study

Erie is under way by staff mem

nounced that intensive research is

The river estuary is a drowned"
stream mouth, typical of those
found at the west end of Lake
Erie. Scientists believe that the
role of these stream mouths is of
critical importance in the produc
tion of the lakes annual fish crop.
The aquatic study is aimed at
providing a better understanding
of the processes involved in estab-
fishing equilibrium between what
DR.. Langlois terms zones Of bio
logical tension" where inhabi-
tants of the river compete with
those of the bay, and those of the

ID. A. V. News Notes
BY Mrs. Donn EckhOn

Many veterans today are not
aware of their rights as provided
by law. If a veteran is in doubt
as to his benefits and privileges,
it would be wise to consult the
Veteran Service Officer or a quail
flied veterans organization.
Most of the 10S d. A. V. chap
ters in Ohio maintain volunteer
or part-time service and employ
ment officers. In addition to such
statewide service, the ID. A. "
maintains IL full-time national
service officers at the Veterans
Administration regional office in
Cincinnati and four others locat-
ed at the VA regional office in
Cleveland.
These ID. A. V. experts extend
all types of assistance to veterans
and their dependents. 1t is pro-
fitable and worthwhile to know
the details of your educational
bcIlclltS anu Illt uudliilIdIlOllS lOl
the professions and trades.
BY Ohio state law, the veteran
has employment preferences and
privileges that he is unaware Of.
Inquire about these things. These
laws were passed for your bene-
fit.
Ohio's d. A. V. state convention
opens Friday, August 6, in Cleve-
land, and lasts three days. Com
mander Kenneth Ransbottom and
your writer will represent Perry
Vargo chapter 20 at the conven-
tion. They will be accompanied |
by Dom Eckhoff. Charles Hap
py" Wallace will attend as an al
ternate.
Tentative plans were made for
Forget -Me-Not day at the meet
ing Monday evening. Sale of
these flowers will be Saturday,
Sept. 25. That day is several !
weeks away, but between now and
then be thinking about what these
little Forget MeNots stand for
and be ready to help.
Next meeting of Perry Wargo
chapter 20 will be August IS in
