FEBRUARY HOLIDAYS
Two patriotic holidays fall in February, each or both
of which should awaken renewed interest in the lives
of men whose memory we owe the utmost respect.
Although they wrought in different periods of the
American republic’s development, each was particularly
adapted for the services rendered to posterity.
Washington was a man in whom the people of the new
nation uad the utmost confidence. He was a man around
whom all could gather to make secure the foundation of
what was destined to be the greatest nation the world
had ever known.
Lincoln’s great forgiving spirit, his nobleness of pur­
pose and uncanny knowledge of human nature fitted
him for the seemingly impossible task of holding the
several states together so that they could fulfill their
destiny.
As we come to the time when their birthdays are ob­
served, all true Americans should reconsecrate them­
selves to the same ideals as those to which the Father
of our country clung and to which the savior of our
country held steadfastly when the privations of a peo­
ple, divided one against the other, weighed heavily upon
him.
FARMERS HELP SELVES
While much discussion of relief legislation is going
on, with little prospect that any of it will solve the far-
'er’s problem, in many parts of the country the farm­
ers themselves are making plans which will help more
than anything Congress may be expected to do.
They are becoming convinced that the salvation of
the farmer rests largely upon raising his own living at
home. They are accordingly planning to have some
poultry, a cow or two and at least one sow and litter of
pigs on every farm. They will see that a good garden is
Wanted and properly cultivated. They will raise their
own food ana stock feed, so that less cash shall be spent
for these things.
These intelligent farmers know that they can produce
most of the food necessities of life, without seriously in-
terfering with the raising of their main crop, whether it
be wheat, corn, cotton, or some other staple product.
They are also learning that a less number of acres
planted with the best seed and properly cultivated will
produce more profitable crops than a larger acreage not
properly handled.
While le°s capable farmers pin their faith to the poli-
;rians, these live-at-home advocates are adopting plain
nd sensible measures to protect themselves.
Mrs. Alice Mars of Fort Smith, Ark, now 70, is suing
her husband for alimony after having been divorced 30
years.
Sheriff McKay of Cochrane, Can., wired a rush order
for coal saying he feared three murderers on hand would
freeze to death before he got a chance to hang them.

Carmino Calango of New York shot himself in the toe
and then decided to keep on living.

judge he preferred jail.
George Lowe of Liverpool was left a legacy of $2,000,
invested it all in a supply of liquor, and is now in the
hospital.
After the death of Mrs. H. C. Cortney of St. Paul, her
fox terrier refused to leave her grave and had to be
killed to prevent its starvation.
