Today is Die anniversary of
birth ot Abraham Lincoln,
great emancipator, and the e
is being celebrated in tbe pubHg.
schools end by maoy societies.
Tbe recurrence of big birth day
brings to mind maoy of -big great
echivenments during e crucial
period ot tbe nation's  existence.
Born on tbe 12tb day of Febraary, 1800, ie Hardin county,
Rentneky, ot poor struggling
parents, Abraham Lincoln h
taken bis place among tha worlds
immortals and few are the corner
of the earth where bis birthday is
not known and celebrated.
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. He derived most
of bis goodness from his mother
to whose memory be wag devoted. He rose ont oftbe wilderness
of the continent like a giant
compounded ot its elemental
rock and soil and time. He pot
his shoulder nnder tbe most
stupendous burden this country
has ever called upon one of its
sobs to beer end tbe masterful
ability and patience end wisdom:
witb which he carried that bt
den te tbe summit ofLviei
wbtob became tbe altar ot hi
sacrifice is the story that ages
will t*H.

1860, and on January 1, 1868,
issoed his famous proclamation
ot emancipation, end tbe 13th
Amendmet t to tbe Constitution
abolishing slavery in the United'
States, was adopted two years
Inter.
Mr. Lincoln was re-elected
November 8, 1864. Hia second
inaugural address is tbe briefest
of ell our presidential addresses,
but it hss no equatMn lofty eloquence and morality.
The infinite tragedy of his life
waa that after leading the people
to tbe border of tbe promised
land ot a restored union, he was
oot permitted to enter in. On the
evening of April 14,1865, he wes
assassinated while ettending e
theatre end peacefully passed
away the next day. He was
buried amid tbe mourning of tbe
whole notion near Springfield, III
where an appropriate monument
marks bis last resting place.
Wa live nnder his shadow today. The touch of his immortal
haod is upon us, aod we thank
God thet He gave us this men
of faith end prayer end wisdom
at atime when the nation waa in
deepest distress.

This, so for, has been tbe most
severe winter on game of all kinds
since tbe winter of 1917-18.
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.

A Newspaper is a public utility
ssys William Allen White noted
editor of the Emporia Gazette.
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."
