LINCOLN LETTERS Eighteen letters land notes in Abraham Lincoln's own handwriting, the most important of fifty such papers acquired during the past year by the Illinois State Historical library, were put on display last week at Springfield in the library's Lincoln room. One of these -notes, undated and unsigned, bears Lincoln's definition of democracy: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy." Another five by seven and . one-half inch piece of faded blue paper is of especial interest as being the only known note Lincoln used in his famous delbates with Stephen A. Douglas. It bears the first two of four questions which Lincoln put to Douglas during the Freeport debate of Aug. 27, 1858, and later at Jonesboro. This debate note was torn in two pieces years ago' and only recently put together again when the library acquired the second! half, matching the other piece which was given to it in 1950.

GAS PUMP THOUGHTS . --... .By: Ed Guettler "Bringing home the bacon" is an expression that has an interesting history. Beginning in 1445 in a village near Lon- I don, England during an ancient ceremony, it was the custom to award a slab of bacon to couples who could swear that after a year of married life, they had been very happy. Bacon got to be known as happiness. Today, the expression is still used. And, when you hear it around town now, the reference is usually about satisfaction received at GUETTLER'S CITIES SERVICE. Car servicing by qualified attendants and automobile supplies and accessories of top quality at reasonable prices. You bring 'home the bacon' when you drive in at HIGHWAY 31, McHENRY, TT.T.
