Lincoln & Obstacles Things do happen, anil Ihoy hegan as well to presidents as lo pages. Obsiaeles ami op poituuitios present themselves. The problem is to divorce t ho one and wed the oilier. St much in life is dependent upon just ibis, that it is deserving of. our attention in reviewing events that mark the turning point in the life of a man who came to be loved and honored second to none of America's citizens. Doubt less Lincoln would have achieved success, for ho was made of the stuff whereof men are made. Hut it is interest ins; lo know that fail ure in business and the subsequent necessity for work of some kind, found him welcoming his first political appointment. During the brief span of three years of his life in the village of New Salem, early in his career, this community had adopted him and fostered his political ambitions. Though beset by many difficulties, he had found that the friendships formed there had endured. His rugged honesty and sincerity of purpose had commended him to the judgment of his neigh bors in this frontier town. And today, though but a memory, New Salem promises to be a perpetual memorial to his early struggles. There he met his first love, Ann Kulledgo, and there he satisfied his first political ambitions, lie bore the imprint of both these experiences throughout his life. Though disappointed in love he was successful in polities. True in deed, Lincoln's immortality is rooted to his failures and successes while a citb.cn of this phantom town on the banks of the peaceful fcsingamon River. Lincoln built success upon failure. The life of Lincoln contains many lessons for young men of today, and none is more striking and more useful than that of persistency in the face of failure. Lincoln ran for the State Legislature and tvas defeated. lie became partner in a dry goods store that failed and left him to pay the bills. His personal property was offered for sale to satisfy a judgment and was bid in by a friend. He was disappointed in love and later married against his own better judgment. "While preparing to enter the Legislature he was forced to borrow $200.00 to purchase suit able clothing, and he did not pay this back un til many years later. ITe was later elected to Congress and at the expiration of an unevent ful two-year term he became a candidate for Commissioner of the fionornl Land Office, but failed to get the appointment lie was offered the Covernorship of Oregon Territory and his wife refused to let him accept. He was a can didate for the Senate and l"st. for the Repub lican nomination for Vice President and lost, find again for the Senate and was defeated by Douglas. His soul tempered by adversity he became President of these United States and a world figure. It is true that "For the stout of heart suc cess is often built upon failure." Col. .Ins. P. Murphy. ;v.

Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, Off with one hellavu roar. We live in fame, or go down in flame. Boy; nothing '11 stop the Army Air Corps. Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder, Sent it high into the blue; Hands of men blasted the world a sunder, How they lived, God only knew.
