His only son died in his youth and gave promise of looking much like Abraham Lincoln. When plans were being outlined some time ago for the dedication of the great Lincoln Memorial—the supreme national tribute to Abraham Lincoln—it was suggested that (Special provision be made for the attendance of Robert Todd Lincoln and his family. "Accept my appreciation for the thought." he stated when the suggestion was conveyed to him, "but under no circumstances must you carry it out; we, of course, shall attend, but only on a par with the general public.

Thus it would seem that Robert Todd Lincoln will maintain to the end the modesty of attitude toward his father's fame that has characterized his long life. There is no record of a single utterance ever penned or spoken publicly by him on the subject of Abraham Lincoln. He has never been "interviewed" on the subject, or any other subject.

H. Hoover. Postmaster William G. Evans accepted the gift on behalf of the residents of the community. In his^remarks Mr. Hoover said that the erection of the building was born of a desire to show his appreciation of the "people among whom he resides; to foster the community spirit in every possible way, and to bring all ;ft people together in a bond of rear brotherly love. As if to emphasize tlie fact he added that the building could never be controlled by one man, one sect, or one organization, and that he had so arranged it in tlie deed that it was to remain forever the property of the people of North Canton. He generously paid a number of compliments to the local men who are willing to assume the responsibility of carrying out his wishes. * Mr. Hoover said that he had chosen the Y. M. C. A. as the agency to carry on a program of community work in the building because of the 75 years of successful history behind the association, and because he was convinced that in directing the activities through the association they would be carried on for all elements of- the 'community without partisan bias of any kind. He said it was his desire that every agency in the village should have opportunity of mak- iyg use of the association building ac- eRrding to its needs. He said he had decided to erect and equip the building and present it to the community to be admisistered under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. as a. .branch of the Canton district of the association in a spirit of community fraternalism, and that he desired TELLS OF GRANGE IDEALS * .Farm and Dairy: Speaking before tbe township boards of education in Stark county recently, Roger Snyder, master of ,the Stark County Pomona Grange, gave them the "Educational Ideas of the Grange and Farm Bureau," in which he outlined the position of both 'organizations, and pointed out the tacit working arrangement between the two organizations. As the Farm Bureau's part deals largely with the business end of the farmer's lit'e.Mr. Sriyder devoted his talk largely' to .tlie Grange, j it to' be accepted .by the people of the However, he dealt .at some length j community in the same spirit. on the boys' and -girls' club work; which is more largely under the Farm Bureau, and acknowledged ihe great good being done in that line_ educationally. While the popular conception of education is that.it is confined to the work of the schools, colleges and universities, Mr. Snyder 'called attention to its broader sense, which has to do with all people from.Hie time of infancy, clear through life in a;:' elert mind, until death. He explained to the board members the- lecture hour of the Grange,' which carries education into the home life after the school years. From these meetings he demonstrated there comes broader visions, loftier ideals and • greater mental development than we 'are probably able to know.- He recognized the school as the place for the education of thc young, and urged that the board members have always in mind the securing as instructors of the best men and women obtainable, to set the sails of students [Continued or. page five.] Before he spoke and at the conclusion of his remarks-lie received a tremendous ovation, mer. wciuen and children paying him tlie doimle compliment of standing when lie advance-i on the stage. . In accepting the building Postmast sociation, and added bis praise for the generous spirit that prompted the deed. He handed the key of the Community House to Herbert W. Hoover, the chairman of the^Pard of directors. Harry N. Clarke, president of the Corte-Scope Co. of Cleveland, made the dedicatory address. He explained the advantages of having such a building.in North Canton and urged the people to rally to its support. He cited incidents to prove that without the spirit of brotherly love no organization could exist any length of time. F. S. Casady, the executive secretary of the Community House, made a® big hit with the people when he told them that he and his assistants were there to serve them faithfully at all times, and that he wanted the public to remember that it was their home. His remarks were warmly applauded. The chairman of the meeting was Herbert W. Hoover, and a rattling good one he made, too. He introduced the speakers in well-rounded sentences, and injected a little quiet humor in his remarks that drew smiles from the people. At tlie beginning of the ceremonies he requested the ladies to remove thir hats to give the men a chance to see the platform, and the women complied with alacrity. In accepting the key to the big biulding he stressed the fact that the Community House was a gift from his father to the people of North Canton and that as chairman "of the board of directors he would endeavor to see that the wishes of the donor were carried out to the letter. He was surrounded, he said, by capable directors, all of them residents of North Canton, and he hope.I the people would regard the building as their own. Services Begin The services began with everyone standing and singing "America." Scripture reading by tlie Rev. Father Kotheimer of St. Paul's Catholic church. Father Kotheimer paid a glowing tribute to" \V. H. ITot.-.'cr for his generosity and sU'Wing qualities. A quartette consisteing of H. E. I Schiltz, Mrs. Frank Gigley, Mrs. Ii. C.

Mr. Evans said the people of North Canton had a. gift for Mr. Hoover, and he felt that when The Boss-turned the pages-he would realize that his neighbors, who are his. friends, hold him in the highest esteem. The postmaster then handed a book to Mr. Hoover. The book is 10 inches by 12 inches, is bound in buff kid, contains 1957 signatures and in gilt letters are the words: "The Mirror the Rev.

He generously paid a number of compliments to the local men who are willing to assume the responsibility of carrying out his wishes. * Mr. Hoover said that he had chosen the Y. M. C. A. as the agency to carry on a program of community work in the building because of the 75 years of successful history behind the association, and because he was convinced that in directing the activities through the association they would be carried on for all elements of- the 'community without partisan bias of any kind.

He explained to the board members the- lecture hour of the Grange,' which carries education into the home life after the school years. From these meetings he demonstrated there comes broader visions, loftier ideals and • greater mental development than we 'are probably able to know.- He recognized the school as the place for the education of thc young, and urged that the board members have always in mind the securing as instructors of the best men and women obtainable, to set the sails of students [Continued or. page five.] Before he spoke and at the conclusion of his remarks-lie received a tremendous ovation, mer. wciuen and children paying him tlie doimle compliment of standing when lie advance-i on the stage. .

His remarks were warmly applauded. The chairman of the meeting was Herbert W. Hoover, and a rattling good one he made, too. He introduced the speakers in well-rounded sentences, and injected a little quiet humor in his remarks that drew smiles from the people. At tlie beginning of the ceremonies he requested the ladies to remove thir hats to give the men a chance to see the platform, and the women complied with alacrity. In accepting the key to the big biulding he stressed the fact that the Community House was a gift from his father to the people of North Canton and that as chairman "of the board of directors he would endeavor to see that the wishes of the donor were carried out to the letter. He was surrounded, he said, by capable directors, all of them residents of North Canton, and he hope.I the people would regard the building as their own.
