The split wit^i former officials has stemmed largely from the price sup port issue which the federation lead ers pressed in their talk with Eisen hower today. Farm bureau leaders hold that the government market supports should be on a flexible basis ranging Jrom 75 per cent of parity to DO per^cedirlT^HIs^nJicality. It was on Nolin’s and should be related to the level of production. Parity is the price de termined y a legal formula to be fair “I have compiled from Lincoln’s letters and -writings,” Lorant ex plains, “a narrative of his early life. All the words are Lincoln’s (except the three bracketed ones in the lat ter part of the account). The sen- tencs were written at different times, but strung together they read^tl hope) as a continuous story.” The following Is Lincoln’s story: I was born Feb. 12, 1809, near where Hogginsville (Hodgensville) now is, then in Hardin County, Ky., at a point within the now county of La Rue, a mile or a mile and a half from where Hodgen’s mill now is.

' One day a wagon with a lady and two girls and a man broke down near us and while they were fixing up, they cooked in our kitchen. The women had books and read us sto ries. I took a great .fancy to one of the girls; and when they were gone I thought of her a great deal, and one day when I was sitting out in the sun by the house, I wrote out a story in my mind. I thought I took my folkes’ horse and followed the wagon, and finally I found it, and persuaded the girl to elope with me; and that night I put her on my horse, and we started off across the prairie. After several hours we came to a camp; and when we rode up we found it was the one we had left a few hours before, and we went in. The next night we tried again, and the same thing happenedi—the horse came back to the same place; and then we concluded that we ought not to elope. I stayed until I had per suaded her father to give her to me. I always meant to write that story out and publish it, and I began once, but I concluded that it was not much of a story. But I think that was the beginning of love with me. When I came of age I did not know much. Still, somehow, I could read, write, and cipher to the rule of thr.ee, but that was all . , . What I have in the way of education I have picked up, from time to time, under pressure of necessity. Attention, Farmers! Don't gamble with a poor stand of cotton this year.

Our new home was a wild region with many bears and other wild ani mals still in the woods. There I took an early start as a hunter, which was never much improved afterward. A few days before the completion of my eighth year, in the absence of my father, a flock of wild turkeys ap proached the new log cabin, and I, with a rifle-gun, standing inside, shot through a crack and killed one of them. I have never since pulled a trigger on any larger game. It was pretty pinching times at first in Indiana, gettihg the cabin built, and clearing for the crops, but presently we got reasonably com fortable. i (After mother died) my father married Mrs. Sally Johnston, at Eliz abethtown, Ky„ a widow with three children by her first marriage. She proved a good and kind mother to me. I went to ABC schools by littles . . . the aggregate of all my school ing did not amount to one year. Among my earliest recollection I remember how, when a mere child, I used to get irritated when anybody talked to me in a way that I could not understand. I can remember go ing to my little bedroom, after hear ing the neighbors talk of an evening with my father, and spending no small part of the night trying to make out what was the exact mean ing of some of their, to me, dark LOANS When in need of a person al loan for your shopping needs, come to see os.
