The memorial exercises began with the singing of "The Red, White and Blue:" the earnestness and . spirit of the young lady vocalists was an evi dence that ttie patriotic devotion of American womeu, so helpful to Lin- uln iu the darkest hours of his great struggle "has not perished from the earth." Then Editba Kearney recited in her lear, well-modulated voice Lincoln's avorite poem, "Oh Why should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud?" The heart-subduing sentiments, so well ezpresssd, explained much of the mag nanimity of Lincoln s character, for how could a mind tbut dwelt frequent' ly on the inherent littleness of man as compared to the vastness of destiny. fail to discern clearly thu pettiness of malice and revenge, and the sorry pathos of human pomp aud circutn stance. In answer to "Roll Call" by Gertrude Hall each pupil gave a quotution from Lincoln: that so many choice genu ments could be culled from the writ ings of a man noted for extreme terse ness of speech proves that excellence in literature is pre-eminently of quali ty rather than quantity. The graduates quartette rendered "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground in a way that would have stirred deep memories in any one who had worn the Blue or Gray from "Sumpter to Appomatox. The chief feature of the entertain ment was an informal lecture on "Wi Times and Lincoln," by the Very Rev P F McCarthy. Those who have ever had the pleasure of heariug the rever speaker will admit his power to por tray logically and simply, while he in stiuots and delights with word-picture, humorous incident and pithy concln siou. The deep, almost strained at tention of his audience would be fluttering tribute to a lecturer lets gifted in the art of interesting, but it is doubtful if one of the boys present and boys are proverbially inattentive could be made believe that they had been listening so closely for more than an hour. If making Lincoln's birthday a na tional holiday would insure so enjoy able a treat each year on February 12, it is not dilUoult to predict how many votes would be cast in favor of the measure in Jackson. The exercises closed with a full chorus of "Columbia."

Think Afooxit Your Boy! Mr F'arixier: By the time your boy grows up and be comes old enough to take up in his own name one of the new Government Irrigated farms in the Big Horn Basin it will be too late for him to get one. Will you let his chance go by? Is this fair to the boy? What will he think of your foresight when he seeks for land and finds out that you neglected to take in 1909, almost as a gift, an Uncle Sam Irrigated Farm that in 1919 will cost him $150 per acre? Of course, if he has the price, all right, but what if he has not? Only $27.50 Round Trip After March I Personally v-onducted homescekers excursions first and third Tuesdays of each month. Write D.
