sterdajr Was Emancipator's
f Birthday and Members of His
Old Army Did Him Honor.
Stirring and troublesome dayi of
fcho civil war. during which time
'Abraham Lincoln courageously steered
events that finally brought about the
union of the north and the south. In
juring the very life of the nation,
JWere brought vividly to the minds of
-600 silver-haired memoers or J-iin-'
join's army." who gathered yesterday
afternoon at central library to attend
the memorial exercises of the Lincoln
Memorial society.
., The majority of those who attended
Jhe meeting were veterans of the civil
war, some of whom had met President
Lincoln, and all were intimately ac
quainted with the remarkable achieve;
jnents of the martyred president.
L Charles F. Beebe, president of the
incoln Memorial association, who
presided at the meeting yesterday.
eulogized Abraham Lincoln, referring
to him as the greatest statesman
America has ever had.
Lincoln's Record Reviewed
C. G. Burton, past state commander
6f the Grand Army of the Republic,
was the principal speaker of the day.
Mr. Burton eloquently visualized the
life of Lincoln from the time of his
birth until he occupied the White
House.
"The first lesson that we learn from
the life, achievements and history of
Abraham Lincoln." said Mr. Burton,
"is that ours is the land of opportu
nity. Born In a log cabin in compar
ative poverty, yet the last four years
of his life were spent in the White
House at Washington. His boyhood
was spent In toil and poverty. His
schooling was less than nine months'
duration, but yet he acquired, through
careful study and perseverance, an
education which enabled him to meet
every obligation which confronted
him during his lifetime.
He Was Not an EKOti't
"Although a man who was always
self-reliant, yet Abraham Lincoln was
. not an egotist. This was proven shortly
after the outbreak of the civil war
.when he chose as his secretary of
Avar. Edwin M. Stanton, who was a
member of President Lincoln's oppo
sition political faith. The chief char
acteristic of Abraham Lincoln as an
American citizen was his respect and
reverence of the law. It Is a charac
teristic which we can all well bear in
mind during the r.resent era."
Mr. Burton said that one of the
rTchief inspirations which could be
drawn from the life of Lincoln and
applied to problems of the present
day, was his courage In meeting com
plex problems. This inspiration, said
Mr. Burton, should be applied in han
tiling the problem of extravagance on
the part of the federal government.
Personality la Measured.
Hugh Montgomery gave an insight
Into the personality of Abraham Lin
coln, and Major W. S. Gilbert read
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech.
Mrs. Fred L. Olson sang several
-patriotic selections and read three
verses of the song, "Our Country
Grand. especially written for the
occasion by Mrs. June MacMillan Ord
way. The Invocation was . delivered
by Rev. Daniel Drew, who was for
merly a slave, and who personally
knew Abraham Lincoln. A piano solo
was played by Miss Arilne Smith.
Charles J. Schnabel, secretary of the
Lincoln Memorial society, was in
charge of the arrangements.
Observance of Lincoln's birthday In
Ihe schools took the form of the usual
1 programme of recitations, dramatiza
tions and patriotic songs. The Lin-
','coln Memorial association provided
.speakers for all the buildings in the
city. Including private schools, which
the past have been omitted from
"the schedule.

NCE upon a time three men of
the desert were led by a star to
the birthplace of a Child. Nearly
2000 years later, in the Mojave desert.
three men of different stamp, fleeing
from justice, were led to the birth
place of a babe whose father was
dead and whose mother was dying.
She gave the child into their keeping,
believing they were "honest. God
fearing men."
Out of such material Peter B. Kyne,
foremost American story teller, wove
the tale of "The Three Godfathers,"
which appeared In the Saturday Eve
ning Post. It is the story which Uni
versal has utilized as a starring ve
hicle for Harry Carey, and which ie
to be seen at the Star theater this
week under the title "Marked Men."
Mr. Carey is shown first as a jail
breaker. The love of a girl beckons
him on the straight path, but loyalty
to his pals leads him to another
crime. Then, as fugitives from the'
law, he and his pals meet a great ad
venture on the desert, and each one
pays in his own way the great debt
to society and to nature.
The Sunset theater has a "laugh
bill" on for four days, starting tomor
row. Charlie Ray - leads the pro
gramme with "Bill Henry," one of his
best, and Mack Sennett comes second
with his super-comedy, "Back to the
Kitchen." Then Bud Fisher, famous
cartoonist, offers the latest Mutt and
Jeff animated cartoon, and the topics
of the day are told in a humorous
way.
Ray appears In "Bill Henry" as Bill
Henry Jenkins, and .the" opening
scenes show him abandoning the farm
for the life of a traveling salesman,
traveling on a bicyqcle -and selling an ,
electric rheumatism cure. There is a
pretty little romance which eriows up
and then bursts, but later is repaired.
ana everyining js line.
Mack Sennett didn't fall down on
his reputation any when he made
"Back to the Kitchen." Teddy? Jhe
dog; Louise Fazenda, Ben Turpin and
other lights of the Sennet studio are
present in all their glory.
WHAT a cheery bustle of coming and
going there always was in the de
lightful Louisiana household where Aunt
Jemima was cool:! Such confusion in
carrying all the carpet-bags and hat-boxes
in and out! ' Such a pleasant flurry of
excitement in greeting unexpected arrivals
such cordial last-minute efforts to urge
the parting guest to stay a bit longer!
And yet there was never any commotion
about caring for them all though a
whole family might "happen in" for a
lengthy visit. There were plenty of extra
rooms in the big. pillared mansion ;
plenty of chickens and butter and eggs
and rice and other good things to serve
any number at any time! And always, at
a moment's notice, Aunt Jemima could
whisk up a batch of her famous pancakes
the like of which you'd never taste in
all the old South!'
How Aunt Jemima's cakes didtaste! So
rich-flavored, so fragrant! And how light
they were, with the most delicate curly
edges! No wonder the great piles of the
tender hot cakes set before Col. Higbee
and his guests would disappear in no time!
The housewife of 1920 finds that her
guests, too, will go away singing - the
praises of her breakfasts if she gives them
Aunt Jemima's Pancakes. For nowadays
Aunt Jemima's own pancake recipe is
prepared for distribution in packaged form.
Specially ground flours, baking-powder
even milk in powdered form come mixed
in just the right proportions. Any grocer
can supply you with Aunt Jemima Pan
cake Flour and with it you cannot fail to
make pancakes as rich and light
as those that made Colonel Hig
bee's plantation home the haunt
of all the Southern epicures!
