I AS FOR FARMS FROM STRAW, UNCLE SAM HOPES By Belle Roberts Washington, June 29.?Gas for heat, light and power on every grain belt farm, from the farm's own sources of supply, is an early possibility . Every farm that has waste straw, corn stalks, or even weeds, may become independent of the oil barons. The Bureau of Chemistry has produces a satisfactory gas or motor fuel from wheat straw, at i?s experiment grounds, at Arlington, Va.t and is now working on other neiu refuse, such as straw from oats, rye, and other grains, also dry weeds and cornstalks. A ton of wheat straw will make enough gas to equal in heat or power units, 40 gallons of gasoline. It possesses combustible elements verv sim ilar to coal gas, anu has a blue flame. The development of a pas for the unit farm rather than commercial manufacture is the aim. The department of agriculture hopes to find a way for each farm to utilize the kind of straw and waste that predominate in the place. At least 20 million tons of straw are burned or wasted annuaiiy in the United States FLOATING FAIR ORGANIZED Rome, July 1.?A floating fair has been organized by the Italian government and will visit Tunis, Algiers, Tangier, Lisbon, Barcelona, Marseil ius arm uenoa. it will carry samples of all thet products Italy can export and will remain from four to seven days at each port. Orders will be dispatched to producers by wireless, this enabling the buyers to receive answers the same day. If the undertaking is successful, as it is confidently expected it will be, another floating fair will be sent to North America, another to Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina and a third to Antilles, Venezuela, Peru and Chili. CRIED HIS LAST MESSAGE Provincetown, Mass., July 1.? Provincetown's town crier, said to be | the last of the profession in America, has hung up his hell and announced that he has cried his last message. For 22 years Walter Smith has plodded the two miles of the town's only street, announcing the time and place of events of internet from ??mnloa of fish to the election of a president. Now, in his 70th year, he says he is through, and there is no one in siprht to succeed him. The old crier's last cry was for the reopening of the Church of the Pilgrims founded in 1714 and which had heen closed for a year. On the northern coast of Scotland it is a favorite theory with the fishing and seafaring people that in a storm three waves are strong and violent, while the fourth is comparatively weak and less dangerous.

LINCOLN AWAKENED 1809?Feb. 12, Abraham Lincoln born to Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, near Hodgenville, La Rue County, La. 1816?Moved to Indiana. 1830?Moved to Illinois. 1835-43?In the Illinois Legislature. 1847-9?In Congress. 1858?July 24, challenged Douglas to the great debate. November, defeated for the Senate. 1880?May 18, nominated for President by the Republican national convention at Chioago. " THE iron-throated cannon of th Washington navy yard, breakln the stillness of a March dawn in 185 with its 100 exultant roars over th repeul of the Missouri compromise awakened Lincoln to the great mis sion for which his whole life had beei an unconscious preparation. After i single term in congress, where his crlt i(%m of the Mexican war in the mlds of that conflict had left him unavail able for a second term, and afte providentially failing to obtain the snui berth of commissioner of the genera land ofllce, he had retired to his ding; law ofllce in Springfield. The wiping out of the dead Iln< against the spread of slavery arousei him from his indifference to politico questions and drew him from his re tlremcnL "I know there is a God am that he hates injustice and slavery,' he said simply to a friend. "I see thi storm coming. I know his hand is li 1L If he has a place and work fo: me?and I think ho has, I believe I an ready."

Douglas, the author of the re peraL While Lincoln made ready for tha campaign, as always in every hour o decision, he retired within himself. H< consulted no one and gave no hint o his line of attack until he called to gether a dozen friends and read t< them his opening speech, which begai with those immortal words: "A hous< divided against itself cannot stand. believe tlmt this government canno ?idure permanently half slave am half free ... It will become al one thing or all the other." Every man in the little gronp warn ed him that If he delivered the speed it would defeat him for the senate "If I had to draw a pen across mj record and erase my whole life fron sight,** he quietly replied, "and I ha< one poor gift or choice left as to who I should save from the wreck, I shouh choose that speech and leave it to thi world unerased." Douglas carried a few more leglsla ttve districts and was re-elected, bu Lincoln led in the aggregate populai vote. Lincoln had met his Hunker Hill The great unknown, who had dared t< cross swords with the foremost chain plon of the repeal, piqued the curios ity of the country. Accepting an invi tatlon to speak in New York, hli Cooper union address established till intellectual and moral right to leai the nation. Nevertheless, when zealous neigh bora had first entered him as a eandi date for president, he protested thai he was not fit for the place. Until th< convention of 1800 actually met In Chi cago, his name seldom was inentlonec for the honor outside his own state Two-thirds of the delegates renlly fa ored the nomination of Willlum H Seward, but as so often happens ir politics, the very pre-einlnence of th? New York senator made him unavail able. r~ the end Idncoln was nomi nated largely because he was the least known man en the Hat of candidates I stone walls of the Whit* ' | X House no more shut Lincoln in e from his fellows, from their hope* p and sorrows and pride, than did the 4 unhewn logs behind which he shivered 8 In the cabin home of his youth. One >t night he dreamed that he was In c (. crowd, when some one recognized hire a as the president and exclaimed In a surprise: "He is a very common look' . Ing man.** Whereupon he answered: t "Friend, the Lord prefers commor |. looking people. That is the reason h< T makes so many of them." ' Lincoln liked people, and he always I kept In touch with the mass. He did if not have to take Jthe word of polltt I clans or newspapers about whut the 9' country was thinking. He went t< II the source. 11 As he finished his dally wrestle wltl J senators and the big-wigs, he plunged j with zest Into what he called his "pub >? 11c opinion bath." Seated In his chair a with one leg thrown over Its arm, h< a received the motley crowd that poured r In through the wide open door of hit j office. Those who approached him li | awe found themselves at ease In th? ^ presence of a friend, whose mannei t said to every one what he said In c ( speech to a regiment: "I happen tem t porarlly to occupy this big White House. I am a living witness thai Abraham Lincoln. any one of your children may look t< * come here as my father's child has.' 1 The man fairly exhaled democracy f fraternity, equality. Frederick Dong las said that Lincoln was the onl] white man he ever met who did no L show consclonsly or unconsciously tha be recognized Ills color. ' Sympathy flowed In a constan f stream from Its fountain in this grea 9 heart. A mother's tears, a baby's cry f a father's plea, a crutch or an empt] " sleeve never failed to move Lincoln 9 "If he has no friend, I'll be his friend,' 1 he said mm be stopped the shooting ct. 9 a soldier, under sentence of a court I martial. : "My cor girl," he sold to a womai ? who pleaded for the life of her soldlej 1 brother, "you have come here with n< governor or senator or member od - congress to speak in your cause; yot l seem honest and truthful and yot ' don't wear hoops, and I'll be whippet 1 If I don't pardon hlin." 1 Lincoln's office w?s almost his prisoi 1 cell through four terrible years.

Itself was at death's door, one of th< J boys died.
