Hut wc HBJ i wonder if Mrs. Harland included housework, the K1 kind of feminine employment she did most to k I glorify?

Tourists usually nro in b ! such a hurry that they arc the only things they fcw ; can think of to waft back home. Hf Recently a convention of commission mer- B chants debated the why and wherefore of mar- KkL keting farm produce, including fruit. After B',. much discussion it was unanimously decided that Hti " the problems of marketing ordinary farm truck Bl ' without eating up the profits of the producer or Hi inflicting too high a price on consumers were H nearly too many to solve at one sitting. Rut Hi .about one thing there wasn't the slightest do- f ; bate. That one thing was that high grade pro- H ducc high grade fruit, for instance doesn't j 1 need to look for a market. It always brings tho HBBL i top notch price in every market nnd finds quick HftW sale. The lesson is obvious. B i One learned person writing in a magazine la- V meats tho fact that there arc too many misfits EjB ' in the world, and that employers sometimes f hnvo extreme difficulty in getting the right man l i in the right place. Tho gentleman blames the 1 j situation on our educational system, which, he B : nys, assumes that everybody is endowed with H the same gifts and must bo pushed through tho H samo educational mill. Tho educational system H is not as poor as all that, however. Though a B proportion of misfits may result, there arc a B larger proportion of others who seem fit to M' tackle nearly any kind of a job demanding in- Hl ! telligence. It is popular and easy to blame ; things on tho educational system. If boys and B I girls show particular aptitude toward any one H ' j thing, it sureJy has a .bettor opportunity of bo- H ' ing found out in the horn? than during the few fl ' houra of school daily. Yet millions of paronts H . ( have no idoa as to what their children nro best VB fitted to perform or what calling to follow. Near- BV jy every child is more proficient at one thing BBBBH than anything else. And parents -ught to know !what that one thing is and encourage their off spring to develop it and spend all they can af ford to nid In the process. Co-oporntlcn between tho schools and parents in this respect is imperii- BBWkMr i tive. If a mother wrote a letter to a school K2 : teacher, for instance, saying that her boy show- Bj ed an uncanny proficiency in solving mechanical EBi1 puzzles or problems, there should' be a way by B9JuSf which the school teacher or educational author!- HW, ties and the mother could get together on the HQftv . proposition. But we seem to be some distance HbpBw LSBB from t,lia development. It still remains wholly HBMiiBPBBBl "UV to" c Parens ABRAHAM LINCOLN. With each recurring anniversary of the birth day of Abraham Lincoln we know him bettor. At the close of the civil war the states that had attempted to secede hated him, although there were many fnrsecing nnd keen witted Southern ers who realized that Lincoln was the best friend the South had in Washington. When stricken down by the hand of an assassin his work was unfinished, nnd, unfortunately, those who fin ished it for him undoubtedly strayed far from the methods Lincoln would have followed. When the constitution of the United States was written there was no stipulation that states, once having entered the union, could not secede if they thought it wise. This loophole was left in order to induce all to' enter. In the minds of mnny political thinkers the implication was pros ont that the constitution was binding merely through the signatures of nil the states. Among others it was stoutly maintained that the consti tution did not specifically deny the light of se cession. It took a four years' wnr to weld together this original loophole in the constitution, nnd today there Is scarcely a mnn, North or South, who docs not mltnit in the South at least privately that the union is better and greater as Lincoln made it. Consider then the greatness of the mnn. Horn in extreme poverty, reared in every manner of hardships, acquiring nn education amid squalor, nnd finally landing in the White House at the1 most critical time in the nation's history, this is indeed a biography that will remain the greatest source of inspiration to the nntiffn. Added to this, however, was the strength of character and indomitable perseverance of the man, his leader ship of men nnd his well nigh personal command over the destinies of the nation, and we have a picture that will never be equalled In this land of liberty. And we hope not, because Lincoln's triumphs were In the midst of woe, want, misery nnd bloodshed. Lincoln was no stickler for absolute and un dented democracy at all times. At Gettysburg he uttered the immortal phrase, "government of the people, for the people nnd by the people." And he meant It. Rut he realized, as every sen sible mnn docs, that there arc some circum stances that alter cases even in a republic, and one of these was when he made the emancipation proclamation. He merely laid the draft of the document before his cabinet and said he was going to communicate to them something about which ho did not desire them to offer any advice. They might make suggestions as to detail, but nothing more. None of them had been consulted as to the president's purpose. He alone settled the matter. (Morse's "Abraham Lincoln," Vol. 2, Pages lM,lir) "The constitution invests its commander in chief with all the law of war in time of war," was his justification for his course. Even in a republic there is no room for argu ment no tlme under some circumstances. It is evident that Lincoln construed the consti tution without idd from the courts at this iwint, yet few people have thought it worth while to decry him for classifying the emancipation proc lamation as a "rule of war," which it was not. Tho war was fought primarily to prevent seces sion, not to free tho slaves in such a sumptuary manner. Hut when the opportunity came, Lin coln went a step farther and, standing head and shoulders above the cabinet, above congress, above the people, above the courts, above the constitution itself, Lincoln with one fell swoop mndc good his oath at New Orleans in his young manhood. There, In his early days, he had seen blacks bought and sold in the slave marts, and, looking toward the sky, he is said to have utter ed: "Hy God, if I ever get a chnnce to hit that thing, I am going to hit it hard." No one doubts the vigor of his blow when he got his chance. No one held him back, or tried to. No one cared for the technicalities of judi cial procedure, for the loud words and windy phrases of congressiopnl dignitaries. The peo ple of the North were against slavery, so that when Lincoln brushed aside the cabinet, con gress and the courts, he was in reality incarna ting government by the people through him self. Thoso days and deeds are fittingly inscribed in the scrolls of history. The travail of renewed birth is a memory. The result has been a power ful nation, n greater destiny. The bloody shirt is no longer waved. The remaining soldiers of the South and North arc brothers, friends and neighbors. This result justifies Lincoln's life nnd course in solving the untownrd problems that confront ed him. ,1 In the last fiscal year the federal health ser vice visited over sixteen thousand rural homes in eight different states. Information as to the prevalence of diseaso and insanitary conditions was obtained nnd complote sanitary surveys of the promises conducted. This may read like a dry paragraph from a dry health report, but listen. Those vislU reduced the typhoid fevor rate to one-half, somotlmu more. In other words, Uncle Sam wont to tho lair of the ty phoid germ and conquered it, for tho visits were only made to districts where there were epidem ics of typhoid fevor. Here nre sevoral instances. In Berkeley county, W. Va., tho casos of typhoid were reduced from two hundred forty-nino to forty in one year. In Orange county, N. C, the enses were reduced from fifty-nine to seventeen. Operations in rural sanitation prove that ad vancement in maintaining hygienic and satis factory surroundings in country districts Is pos sible by tho application of common principles of preventive medicine. "Insanitary conditions ex ist Inrgely because they are not known to be such," says the report of the health service, just issued. "Actunl demonstrations of their harm fulness, together with definite recommendations for their conection, remain one of the most gratifying and successful methods for institu tion reforms nnd has been invariably accom panied by definite ana measureablo results."

Whether the wool trade Is more con cerncd over the high prices quoted in the London sales and in Au trnlian primary markets or the opening of the contracting season in the Knr West is a question. The latter is nbout a fortnigH i earlier this year than last and hns started on different lines. In 1 contrast with 1915, when the embargo had debarred AmencAn buyers from operating in New Zealand this year they hne ti I cured a large volume of the Dominion crossbreds. Though this h counterbalanced to some extent by smaller purchases in s0uta : America, no such shortage in medium wools prevails n wM : threatened a year ago. Therefore, It Is not strange that inivcn '. should show less eagerness for domestic medium wools now thrn a year ago, when it was considered wise to secure as large n ,. ! ume as possible. For wool on the sheep's back in the West, opt!!. Ing prices in the grease are substantially the same as thoce noted In year ago. But as these values apply to fine clothing oilr)1 whereas a year ago medium grades were being taken, rt.Jlj a substantial advance is shown. Those most concerned In the contracting arc not willing t , tf. mil Hint a large volume of wool already is involved. Mot c f tl wool thus far put under contract is in Southern Utah, of clip-, run ning Inrgely to fine clothing. Prices paid nre said to hnu bu-n. 21 to 22 cents for fine nnd 21 to 25 cents for clips running more to medium. Scoured values laid down here nre estimated rt 7) t nt, or fully up to the parity of the old clip wools remaining 'icrc, .More contracting would hnvc been done, but for the nttlludo i.f tr growers, who arc not disposed to yield nny of their undoubted advantage. Efforts have been made to contract wool in other section, notably Montana, Idaho and the Triangle district. Prapwtiit buyers, however, have found the growers very stiff in tluir idesi nnd thus far they have not been nble to secure anything. ' onrU tions here are favorable to a strong buying movement nii-l it wniuV not surprise the trade to have It begin any day. Woolinen hint had a good year, money is easy nnd plenty of free capital is avail, nble, in spite of the tremendous importations of foreign wool. It is difficult to find 11 woolman who docs not profess to beliec that the war will continue indefinitely nnd, therefore, that it is snf tg branch out heavily on the present price basis. Manufacturers are still showing much interest in grens terri tory wools, though the big movement of late January hns abated somewhnt. Warehouse Interests have taken advantage of th present strong market to move some of their consigned wool, the reported .sales for the past month having been drawn largely from that source. As the remainder of the 1015 clip is held in u ffir hands, there is a tendency to hold for still better prices. IK'tnt sales have been made on the clean basis of 75 to 77 cents for fin staple territory, 7!l to 75 cents for hnlfblood staple, 70 to 72 cent for three-clghths-blood staple, G8 to 70 cents for qunrtor-blo&I staple, 70 to 72 cents for fine clothing nnd 08 to 70 cents for fir.1 medium clothing. Most of the recent transfers have been in the original bag. For any really good lot 70 cents appears to be about the minimum scoured cost. Scoured territories are offered in a moderate wa Good lots are absorbed promptly, on the basis of 07 to 08 cents fr choice fine and 05 to 00 cents for fine medium, with stained and I defective lots at 50 to GO cents. Pulled wools arc feeling the ln , pulse of the strong market for other grades. Ordinary Ka.ster II supers are now quotable nt 02 cents, with good white lots as high as 05 to 07 cents. Eastern supers nre selling on the basis of 00 1 08, with fine A supers and extras at 70 to 75 cents. Wools with larger staple possibly would bring two to three cents, more per I pound. Chicago pullings are also firmer, being held on the tl"fln 1 basis of 00 to 0 1 cents for A supers and 58 to 01 cents for II super I Combing pulled wools are strong nt 57 to 58 cents for fine, 55 t 150 cents for medium nnd 50 to 52 cents for low. Fleeces are quiet, the recent movement having exhausted the capacity of buyers for the'moment. The situation is still ven firm, with choice lots of washed delaine held at J17 cents and up ward, and quarters and three-eights blood combing at 40 cent, though these prices have not been realized. One house reiwrts sales of Ohio fleeces for the week aggregating u hundrd thousand pounds, but particulars at to grades and prices are withheld. In diana half-blood combing and Ohio half-blood clothing have been sold at 32 cents. Current quotations for Ohio fleeces nre vorv firm, at :$0 to 37 cents for fine washed delaine, 33 cents for XX and above, 32 to 32ij cents for fine unwashed delaine, 27 to 2S cents for fine unwashed clothing, 35 to 30 cents for hnff-blood combing, 38 to 39 cents for three-eighths-blood combing, 37 to 38 cents for quarter-blood combing, and 32 to 31 cents Ar medium clothing.
