Tbe life of Lincoln bas filled tbooaends of volumes end its general features are familiar, or should bg te every American citizen eod every boy end girl. Lincoln was a man of Die common people.

More feeding bas been done by the Game Protector, sportsmen, farmes, Boy Scouts, aod others interested than ever before. Special help has also been employed in a number ot cases to help on feeding work. Regardless of the efforts to teed game, practically all species of small gatnu have been so much weakened by the severs winter weather that stray dogs, stray cats, and all kinds ot vermin are daily taking an enormoos toll. During the past month, upward of 200 dogs owners bave been fined for permitting dogs to chase small game. The officers of tbe Game Commission have been instructed to make a special drive to curb stray dogs at tbis time. More than 50,000 rabbits have been stocked, and these, as well ss the rabbits lett over from the bunting season, must be given every possible proteotion. Any sportsmen who knows ot dogs chasing game should report it st once to tbo nearest Game Protector, if possible, giving the name and address of tbe owner so that the work may be expedited. Notwithstanding the Law permits tbe training of dogs nntil March 1, a good sportsmen taoces, where injury to future sport may result. Issslls Hassle's Faaarsl Upon reading in these colums last week of the action taken by the local school board to have the old school bell brought from its obscure place in the .high sehool building and placid on a pedestal in the main corridor, Harry Lingafelt, a well-known resident of the burg, celled to mind that be and the janitor of the old school house in Walnut street tolled the bell on the day. of President Lincoln's funeral in April, 1865, ssys the Hollidays burg correspondent of tbe Tribune. Mr. Lingafelt said when speaking ot the bell that the two of them took tnrns at ringing the bell, and tolled it for the greater part of the day. Mr. Lingafelt would occasionally in his youth and strength give the rope to bard a pull witb ike result that it would turn clear over and the janitor in order to put it in normal position, would be required to climb to tbe lott. Turning tbe heavy bell back was quite e task- Mr. Lingafelt spent a number of years in tbe west having been a mail carrier in Omaha, Neb., and left with tbe brazen music of the old bell sounding bim a ead farewell and giving him a rousing welcome upon his. return to his native town to spend tbe remainder of bis days. — —The ice and snow is tust making its disappearance. —For Sale—A Baby carriage, in good condition, will be sold cheap tor cash.

And in an editorial he tells why: "A newspaper certainly is affected with tbe publio interest as much ss the street car, the telephone or the gas plant and all the other municipal utilities. "An editor is really a trustee, entitled to bis profits if they are clean and decent to the tallest extent tbat be may make them, but not entitled to make bis profit's at tbe community's loss. "Unless he can give the publie some valuable thing—information guidance or entertainment—he has no right to bis profits. "A newspaper is certainly a public utility." —Farmer Roy Cberry ot Gospel Hollow bas placed a new I Ford, track into service. —Congressman J.

More feeding bas been done by the Game Protector, sportsmen, farmes, Boy Scouts, aod others interested than ever before. Special help has also been employed in a number ot cases to help on feeding work. Regardless of the efforts to teed game, practically all species of small gatnu have been so much weakened by the severs winter weather that stray dogs, stray cats, and all kinds ot vermin are daily taking an enormoos toll. During the past month, upward of 200 dogs owners bave been fined for permitting dogs to chase small game. The officers of tbe Game Commission have been instructed to make a special drive to curb stray dogs at tbis time. More than 50,000 rabbits have been stocked, and these, as well ss the rabbits lett over from the bunting season, must be given every possible proteotion. Any sportsmen who knows ot dogs chasing game should report it st once to tbo nearest Game Protector, if possible, giving the name and address of tbe owner so that the work may be expedited. Notwithstanding the Law permits tbe training of dogs nntil March 1, a good sportsmen taoces, where injury to future sport may result. Issslls Hassle's Faaarsl Upon reading in these colums last week of the action taken by the local school board to have the old school bell brought from its obscure place in the .high sehool building and placid on a pedestal in the main corridor, Harry Lingafelt, a well-known resident of the burg, celled to mind that be and the janitor of the old school house in Walnut street tolled the bell on the day. of President Lincoln's funeral in April, 1865, ssys the Hollidays burg correspondent of tbe Tribune. Mr. Lingafelt said when speaking ot the bell that the two of them took tnrns at ringing the bell, and tolled it for the greater part of the day. Mr. Lingafelt would occasionally in his youth and strength give the rope to bard a pull witb ike result that it would turn clear over and the janitor in order to put it in normal position, would be required to climb to tbe lott. Turning tbe heavy bell back was quite e task- Mr. Lingafelt spent a number of years in tbe west having been a mail carrier in Omaha, Neb., and left with tbe brazen music of the old bell sounding bim a ead farewell and giving him a rousing welcome upon his. return to his native town to spend tbe remainder of bis days. — —The ice and snow is tust making its disappearance. —For Sale—A Baby carriage, in good condition, will be sold cheap tor cash.

And in an editorial he tells why: "A newspaper certainly is affected with tbe publio interest as much ss the street car, the telephone or the gas plant and all the other municipal utilities. "An editor is really a trustee, entitled to bis profits if they are clean and decent to the tallest extent tbat be may make them, but not entitled to make bis profit's at tbe community's loss. "Unless he can give the publie some valuable thing—information guidance or entertainment—he has no right to bis profits.
