This drop was caused largely by the 11 postponements of [lie niidjrvt raees due to inclement weather.

Wemicke As Yott So Desire rn There's a little bil of-everything instilled in every day, The good and bad, the ehniee is ynurs—use it as you may; You can't disdain Ihe passing day heeause you've used it ill, To blame the day is so unjust — when blame is on your will; There is no day ol' bitterness that, does not offer life, -Nor is there one of happiness without its share of strife; For none is bad nor really good, none miserly nor kind— The way it treats you all depends.on what you look txHiiul. There's a little bit of everyi-hiir^-wit-bin the heart of man. The fault, the virtue, kept apart by just a narrow span; — You cannot hat-c nor deprecate when faults are all you spy, Far better — learn to know him, he's a lot li'Ue you or I; . He's human, just as you or .1 — no two of us the same — Who are vye. with all our faults, to burl the bolt of blame ..For none is bad' nor wholly «rood, none miserly nor kind. Hut as you so desire- -it's the tiling you look to find. The Leader By MRS. ELIZABETH F. KELLY Librarian, Freeport Memorial Library Many books about Abraham Lin- coln have been published but this winter we have the firdt biography Of William Henry Hermlon. Hern- don wa.s Lincoln's law partner and his friend. Me was a strange man, a gilled individual beset by person- al' problems aligning himself with the causes or abolilon 'or slavery, religious liberalisms, and cultural affairs. Naturally, the author 'of \Lincoln's Herndon,\ David Donald did a great deal ol\ research before writing this and gives his refer- ences in footnotes which need not disturb the general reader but for which the scholar is very grateful. In tin* book, Mr. Donald, wherever possible, has allowed \Billy\ Hern- (lon to tell his own story. This book is not for the reader who must start and finish a book in a lew hours but the devotee of Abraham Lincoln will not want to overlook it. *. * * \Furniture Treasury,\ Wallace Nutting (MacMillan $20.00, 2 vols. boxed) is a classic in its field and a must for every lover of American antiques. This lias been out of print for many years and this re- issue reproduces all of the line illustrations ot the original edition in two large volumes. All styles of furniture made in America and many of foreign origin that found their way to America are included. Clocks, moldings, furniture brasses, household utensils are but a few of the articles included in addition to regular articles of furniture such as chairs, beds, etc. With each photograph is a short description giving date, kind or wood, origin and in some cases—complete meas- urements. The Housewife, the small collector, the dealer, the own- er of JL large collection of museum pieces, will all delight in this treas- ury of \Americana.\ .COMMUNITY ALENDAR Qood Citizenship I am about to read' 'you a short commercial message that may turn out_to be one of the most unusual you ever listened to. Unusual be- cause of its sponsor. This sponsor isn't In business, exactly—and yet his \customers'.\ if you can call them that, run into the. millions. Pie has\ nothing to sell but ideas— or principles, maybe, If you want a better name'. -But they are prin- ciples that have -guided the lives of generations past, an(l will continue to, do so for generations to come. It all sounds very mysterious, doesn't it? Well—it isn't. For the •sponsor I'm talking about Is noth- ing more nor less than the past we share -as Americans—the heritage of freedom, of .progress,'and above all of mutual respect, one toward the other. Let's hang onto these things. They're worth more to you and to me than we'll ever know until we lose them. Let that day never come.! _._ ^THURSDAY, JANUARY 6 William Clinton Story Post.

Many a modern housewife would be pleased to grace her living room desk or table with any one of the three guest books on display. The wooden cover of one is intricately rarvi'd with the likeness of two Vikings—and is finished in the natural wood; the cover of the sec- ond has a carved scene from Fin- land's picturesque countryside — this scene has been painted in' bright colored lacquers; the third and the favorite of your reporter is a simple natural wooden cover put on with hinges, and hasp that have been antiqued and whose simplicity bespeaks true art. The feeling of the Finnish people for beauty is apparent even in the articles which are used by them in their everyday Jiving. Shiny cop- per cooking utensils are shaped not only for the best practical use, but also to give pleasure to the .eye. Woolen mittens knit by Veterans in Finnish Hospitals are not only warm but attractive and appealing in design. Mon will be especially interested in the pipe with Its long, curved stem, beautifully carved bowl and small leather tobacco pouch con- veniently attached. The hunting knives will catch their fancy too— for the handles are beautifully shaped of wood—-(some inlaid with metal) and they are encased in sheaths of leather and of wood. The Peasant costume is one -which'-datps-back-to-1905;—The ma- terial is still In good condition and the embroidery js gay_a_nd._cplprful ( 'Of*.particular'interest is the head- band, worn by tbe unmarrie.d girl- 1 — it is bright red.in color ami set into H across the forehead are metal squares which come to very sharp points.
