One evening, of that summer, Abe j,» '*, came out to the Traylors' with a let-, tor In his hat for Sarah. i 'tffe "How's business?" Samson asked, , y*/ "Going to peter out, I reckon," Abe 4- *:A answered with a sorrowful look. . "It will leave me badly in debt. I want- >^4 ",fr ed something that would give me a Pfe chance for study and I got it.... By Jlng! It looks as if I was going to t:«S have years of study trying to get over %%/. It Have you got any work to give ' ?H',1, roe? You know I can split raits about as fast as the next mau and I'll take may pay in wheat or corn." "You may give me all the time you can spend outside the store," said Sanson. That evening they had a talk about .the whisky business and its relation to the character of Eliphalet Biggs and to sundry infractions of law and order In their community. Samson had declared that It was wrong to sell liquor. "All that kind of thing can be safely left to the common sense of our people," said Abe. 'The remedy is education, not revolution. Slowly the people will have to set down ail the Items in the ledger of common sense that passes from sire to son By and by some generation will strike a balance. That may not come in a hundred years. Soon or late the majority of the people will reach a reckoning with John Barleycorn. If there's too much against him they will act Iqu might £s well try to stop a glacier by building a dam in front of it. They have opened an account with slavery, too. By and by« they'll decide its fate." Such was his faith in the common folk of America whose way of learning and whose love of the right he knew as no man has known it In this connection the New Englander wrote in his diary: "He has spent his boyhood in the Sooth and his young manhood in the North. He has studied the East and lived in the West. He Is the people-- I sometimes think--and about as slow to make up his mind. As Isaiah says: He does not judge after the sight of his eyes neither reprove after the hearing of his ears.' Abe has to think about it." In April Abe wrote another address to the voters aiyiounclng that he was •gain a candidate for a seat in the legislature. Late that month Harry walked with him to Pappsvllle where Si crowd had assembled to attend a public sale. At one place there were tnen in the crowd who knew Harry's record in the war. They called on tilm for a speech. He spoke on the Med of the means of transportatloh In Sangamon county with such Insight and dignity and convincing candor that both Abe and the audience hailed film as a coming man. Abe and he H«re often seen together those days. In New Salem they were called the disappointed lovers. It was known there that Abe was very fond of Ann Butledge, although he had not, as yet, •penly confessed to any one--not even to Ann--there being no show of hope for him. Ann was deeply in love with John McNeil--the genial, handsome .tod successful young Irishman. The affair had reached the stage of frankdooryard of the tavern when he rode away. He was going back to his home In the East to return in the autumn and make Ann his bride. The girl wept as if her heart would break when he turned far down the road and waved his hand to her. "Oh, my pretty lass! Do you not offered to buy an issue of bonds Of the amount of fifteen dollars." "I'm glad to hear you declare in favor of external improvements," said Kelso. "We've all been too much absorbed by Internal improvements. You're on the right trail, Abe. You've been thinking of the public ear and show some respect for both." "Sometimes I think that comely dress ought to go with comely dlotion," said Abe. "But that's a thing you can't learn In books. There's no grammarian of the language of dress. Then I'm so big and awkward. It's a rather hopeless problem." "You're in good company," Kelso assured him. "Nature guards her bestmen with some sort of singularity* not attractive to others. Often she makes them odious with conceit or deformity or dumbness or garrulity. Dante was such a poor talker that no one would ever ask him to» dinner. If it had not been so I presume his muse would have been sadly crippled by indigestion. If you had been a good dancer and a lady's favorite, I wonder if you would have studied Klrkham and Burns and Shakespeare and Blackstone and Starkie, and^the science of surveying and been elected to the legislature. I wonder if you could even have whipped Jack Arm: strong." "Or have enjoyed the friendship of Bill Berry and acquired a national debt, or have saved my Imperiled country in the war with Black Hawk," Abe laughed. In the matter of dress the postmaster had great confidence in the taste and knowledge of his young friend, Harry Needles, whose neat appearm % yfcs Qirt Wept as If Her Heart Would Break. «mss, o* an open discission of plans, - of fond affection expressing itself In Caresses quite indifferent to ridicule, •v- For Ann it had been like warm suntight on the growing rftse. She was • heater in dress, lovelier in form and color, more graceful in movement and (Sweeter-voiced than ever she had been. It is the old way that Nature has of jpreparing the young to cotne out upon ' ,*he stage of real life and to act In its r ,,,-imoving scenes. Abe manfully gave ;i i &'khein his best wishes and when he jspoke of Ann it was done very ten- ' * ' .Iderly. The look of sadness, which all III??' Ihad noted in his moments of abstrac- 'tton, deepened and often covered his >*face with Its veil. That Is another way that Nature has of preparing the young. For these the roses have fallen . and only the thorns remain. They ' are not lured; they seem to be driven to their tasks, but for all, soon or j late, her method changes. | On a beautiful morning of June, " 1834, John McNeil left the village. "• Abe Lincoln and Harry and Samson and Sarah and Jack Kelso and his hear the birds singing in the mead- [ too little of the public eye. We must ows?" said Jack Kelso. "Think of the happiness all around you and of the greater happiness that is coming when lie returns. Shame on you!" "I'm afraid he'll never come back," Ann eobbed. "Nonsense! Don't get a maggot In your brain and let the crows go walking over your, face; Come, We'll take a ride In the meadows and If I doii't bring you back laughing yott^aa* «411> me no prophet." •• So the event passed. ' */V S Harry traveled about wlfh Abe a good deal that summer, "electioneering," as they called it, from farm to farm. Abe used to go Into the fields, with the men whose favor he sought, and bend his long back ovler a scythe or a cradle and 1-ace them playfully across the field of grain cutting a wider swath than any other and always holding the lead. Every man was out of breath at the end of his swath and needed a few minutes for recuperation. That gave Abe a chance for his statement of the county's needs and his plan of satisfying them. He had met and talked with a majority of the voters before the campaign ended in his election in August. At odd times that summer he had been ° surveying a new road with Harry Needles for his helper. In September they resumed their work upon it in the vicinity of New Salem and Abe began to Carry the letters In his hat again. Every day Ann was looking for him as he came by in the dim light of the early morning on his way to work. "Anything for me?" she 'Would ask. "No mail in since I saw you, Ann," was the usual answer. Often he would say: "I'm afraid not, but here--you take these letters and look through 'em and make sure." Ann would take them In her hands, trembling with eagerness, and run Indoors to the candlelight, and look them over. Always she came back with the little bundle of letters very slowly as If her disappointment were a heavy burden. "There'll be one next mail if I have to write it myself," Abe said one morning in October as he went on. To Harry Needles, who was with him that morning, he said: "I wonder why that fellow don't write to Ann. I couldn't believe that he has been fooling her, but now I don't know what to think of him. I wonder what has happened to the fellow." The mail stage was late that eve-- ning. As It had not come at nine Mr. Hill went home and left Abe in the store to wait for his mall. The stage arrived a few minutes later. Abe examined the little bundle of letters and newspapers which the driver had left with him. Then he took a paper and sat down to read in the firelight. While he was thus engaged the door opened softly and Ann Rutledge entered. The postmaster was not aware of her presence on til she touched his arm. "Please give me a letter," she said. "Sit down, Ann,*' said he, very gently, as he placed a chair In the lireglow. She took it, turning toward him with a look of fear and hope. Then he added: "I'm sorry, but the truth is it didn't come. It Is terrible, Ann, that I have to help In this breaking of your heart that is going on. I seem to be the head of the hammer that hits you so hard, but the handle Is In other hands Honestly, Ann, I wish I cqnld do the suffering for you--every bit of It--and give your poor heart a rest. Hasn't he written you this summer?" "Not since July tenth," she answered. * Then she confided to Abe that her lover told her before he went away that his name was not McNeil but MoNamar; that he had changed his name to keep clear of his family until he had made a success; that he had gone East to get his father and mother and bring them back with him; lastly she came to the thing that worried her most--the suspicion of her father and mother that John was not honest. "They say that he probably had a wife when he came here--that that Is why he don't write to me. Then after a little silence she pleaded: "Yon don't think that, do yon. Abe?" No," said the latter, giving her the advantage of every doubt. "John did a foolish thin*;, but we must not condemn him without a knowledge of the facts. The young often do foolish things and sickness would account for his silence. You go home and go to' sleep and stop worrying, Ann. You'll get that letter one of these days." A day or two later Abe and Harry went to Springfield. Their reason for the trip lay in a talk between the postmaster and Jack "Kelso the night before as they sat by the letter's fireside. I've been living where there was no one to find fault with my parts of speech or with the parts of my legs which were not decently covered, said Abe. "The sock district of my person has been without represents tion in the legislature of my intellect up to its test session. Then we srnt bill through for local improvements and the governor has approved the appropriation. Suddenly we dlscov- ,ea a«*fc*w*A his necic and « and a smooth-s t ry were the glittering details surrounded the person of Ell. "Come in," urged the genial proprietor of the Emporium. "I vould like to show you my goots and introduce you to ray brudder." In the men's department after much thoughtful discussion they decided upon a suit of blue jeans--that being the only goods which, In view of the n i u C U u t o f c l o t h r e q u i r e * c w ! t h w in the appropriation, Eli advised against It. . "You are like Eli already," he said. "You haf got de pack off your back. Look at me. Don't you hear my clothes say somet'ing?" "They are very eloquent." said Abe. "Veil, dey make a speech. Dey say 'Eli Fredenberg he Is no more a poor devil. You cannot sneeze at him once again. Nefer. He has climb de ladder up.' Now yon let me sell you somet'ing vat makes a good speech for you." If you let me dictate the speech '11 agree," said Abe. "Veil--vat is it?" Ell asked. "I would like my clothes to say In low tone of voice: 'This Is humble Abraham Lincoln, sbout the same length and breadth thnt I am. He don't want to scare or astonish anybody. He don't want to look like a beggar or a millionaire. Just put him down for a hard-working man of good intentions who is badly in debt.'" That ended all argument. The suit of blue jeans was ordered and the measures taken. As they were about to go Eli said: I forgot to tell, yon dot I haf seen Bim Kelso de odder day in St. Louis. haf seen her on de street. She has been like a queen so grand! De hat and gown from Paris and she valk so proud! JJut she look not so happy like she- usit to be. I speak to her. Oh my, she vas glad and so surprised!

So he asked Harry to go ith him on his new mission and help to choose the goods and direct the tailoring, for it seemed to him a highly important enterprise. Our appropriation is only fifteen dollars," said Abe as they came In sight of "the big village" on a warm bright day late in October. "Of course, can't expect to make myself look like the President of the United States with such a sum, but I want to look like a respectable citizen of the United States, if that is possible. I'll give the old Abe and iifte§p dollars to boot for a new one and we'll see what comes of It." Springfield had been rapidly changing. It was still small and crude, but some of the best standards of civUlza' tion bad been set up In that commun lty. Families of wealth and culture In the East had sent their sons and share of their capital to this little metropolis of the land of plenty to go into business. Handsome, well-groomed horses, In silver-mounted harness drawing carriages that shone "so you could see your face In them," to quote from Abe again, were on Its streets. The two New Salem men stopped and studied a big sign In front of a large store on which this announcement had been lettered: Cloths, casslnettes, casslmeres, vel vet silks, satins, Marseilles waistcoat Ing, fine, calf boots, seal and morocco pumps for gentlemen, crepe lisse, lace veils. Thibet shawls, fine prunella shoes. "Reads like a foreign language to me," suid Abe. "How would you like little Marseilles walstcoatlng?" Suddenly a man touched his shoul der with a hearty "Howdy, Abe?" It was Ell, "the Wandering Jew,' as he had been wont to call himself In the days when be carried a pack on the road through Peter's Bluff ami Clary's Grove and New Salem to Beardstowq and back. "Dls is my store," saiff Ell. "Your store!" Abe exclaimed. "Ya, look at de sign." The Jew pointed to his sign-board,, some fifty feet long under the cornice, on which they read the legend: "Ell Fredenberg's Emporium." Abe looked him over from head to foot and exclaimed: "My conscience! You look as If you had been fixed up to be sold to the highest bidder."

Specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture urge constantly the establishing of uniform standards for farm products, and der clare that if these standards Are maintained, once they have been adopted, the confidence of the public will be established, and the success of co-operative marketing more generally assured. Too many organizations are brought into being as a result of enthusiasm created by appeals to prejudice and by misconception. The proper foundation is through a well-recogulzed need for an organization. "Co-operative principles," said a connor? HTO bureau of markets, "must be adhered to in the organization and operation of farmers' marketing associations. The farmers themselves cannot be expected to have a vital Interest in a marketing organization operated for the profit of and controlled by a few persons. Such an organization should be operated, of course, to effect savings and to render service and not to earn profits for distribution as dividends on money invested. A fair rate of interest Is granted to the capital invested by the members, and the remainder of any surplus to be distributed should Jbe divided in accordance with patronage, that is, the amount of business transacted with the organization...: Loyalty Is Essential. "The membership should be open to producers only who desire to avail themselves of Its facilities, and there should be safeguards to prevent the ownership and control of the enterprise from falling into the hands of a few persons. The success of the entire effort depends upon the loyalty of the members and their Interest In the organization, the high standards they maintain, and Iheir distinct understanding that as a business association it should be managed by a man or m6n able to earn a dignified compensation. Disloyalty has caused the failure of more than one co-operative organization, and It Is a weakness which can be remedied only by the members themselves. "The manager, of course, is the keystone supporting the business. The salary offered him should attract highclass ability as In an^ business looking to success, and he should have authority to support his work. An entire business can be ruined by an incompetent manager at its heqjl. "A co-operative marketing association may be likened to a typewriter, which is a very efficient machine, but useless until you have some one competent to operate it. The success of co-operative marketing depends almost entirely upon obtaining a sufficient volume of business, observing true co-operative principles, employing capable management, having thoroughly modern business methods, and finally, loyal membership." Steady Growth Tends to Success. Men who have traveled In every part of the United States observing the work of co-operative organizations of various kinds, believe that the success of widespread co-operative marketing may be endangered through a poorly conceived hope or expectation that a hard and fast organization of producers will make it possible to sell anything and everything at a predetermined price without regard to quality or conditions. This is a dangerous attitude to assume. Men who have given close attention to the subject declare that there is a widespread feeling that It Is possible to revolutionize completely the entire system of marketing and attain success from the outset. This, of course. Is impossible because It Is necessary to build upon a solid foundation and to work out the many problems Involved carefully. Steady, substantial and healthy growth tends to permanency and success. No one should believe that because be is a member of a certain co-operative association, unusual prices are as. sured. is- JV Jifi Sickly, ailing women make unhappy homes, and after reading Mrs. Nata.le's letter one can imagine now this home was transformed by her restoration to T1*- <5 health.

Poorly nourished cows give birth to weak, puny calves which are hard to raise. The feeding of the calf, therefore, begins before It is born. The food elements necessary for the development of the calf are taken Into the stomach of the cow, digested, assimilated and transmitted to the calf through the umbilical cord, the connection between the mother and the calf. It Is evident that If the cow does not receive food enough to keep herself in thrifty condition and at the same time develop her calf, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, both She and the calf must suffer. In endeavoring to raise good, thrifty calves many dairymen handicap themselves at the start by not properly feeding the pregnant cows. Such cows should have an abundance of palatable and succulent or juicy feed in order to Insure good body flesh and healthy, thrifty condition at calving time. The calves will then be well developed, strong and sturdy, and ready to respond normally to proper teed and care. CHILD'S BOWELS WITH "'Vv'.

Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture. If all the wheat now destroyed annually by pests could be saved and made Into flour the United States Department of Agriculture says It would add approximately 29,463,700 barrels to the yearly output to the nation. The antfual production of wheat In this country for the four-year period, 1916 to 1919, inclusive, was 783,849,- 500 bushels. The annual loss from disease during this period was 147,- 318,500 bushels. mile It Is not possible entirely to eliminate wheat diseases, It is possible to reduce the toll much below what It has been In recent years, says the department. One branch of the work of the office of cereal investigations in the bureau of plant Industry Is to work out the preventive and control measures for the diseases of all cereal crops. Another branch of the work of this office, which Is of equal Importance in Increasing production of cereal crops, is the development and introduction of superior varieties of grain which produce higher in localities where they are especially well adapted, or which have diseaseresistant qualities. This work Is carried on in co-operation with the various state experiment stations, and In many cases has made profitable farming possible In sections in which agriculture was hazardous previous to the introduction of new crops or varieties particularly well suited to local oowHtioos. POULTRY AND (MIRY PROFITS One of Very Beet Ways Parmer Can Dispose of Surpltte Milk Is to 'Feed It to Fowls* '• The dairyman (or the farmer who runs a small dairy in connection with his farm) is in an enviable position to make the biggest proportionate profits from a flock of poultry. One reason for this Is that the best foods as milk producers are also excellent egg producers. For instance, clover, alfalfa, middlings, rye, etc., are all palatable and beneficial to cows and Chicks alike--and so is an occasional mess of finely chopped silage. Furthermore, the cows furnish on© of the best of foods for laying hens, for milk Is a valuable egg food iii any form. One of the very best ways any farmer can dispose of surplus milk with profit is to feed it to the hens, or to growing young stock. It furnishes just the materials needed for improving growth of eggs--and does it In a palatable, easily dtgested form --hence It Is an exceedingly valuable product as an adjunct to the grain ration, which often lacks essential elements. *To Make a Cashmere Shawl.
