He ‘hanged the date to make himself corrected to the Gregorian w reformed calendar which was adopted in 1752 in England cnd its colonies. This reflected the accuracy and thorough- iess powerfully developed in his character. We remember Washington chiefly as our first president. More important, he was the powerful personality that held he Thirteen Original Colonies together until they won their ndependence. It was George Washington. who fired the roops and the people at home with fresh courage and deter- nination when the outlook was blackest. And Washington, is he led America victoriously through war, also led it vic oriously through the confusion and dangers that beset our epublic in its babyhood. giant personality, Washington. piration in studying his. life. istory.« Much profit and in- Few leaders like him in all A GREAT SUCCESS Bismarck’s first Trade Mardi Gras under the auspices f the Business and Professional Women’s club was a great uccess and a fine testimonial to the enterprise of that or- vanization demonstrated so often in this community. The ‘Trade Revue” moved off smoothly—there were, no delays, ong waits or gaps so often the case in attractions involving so many people. Everything went off with snap and pre- ision worthy of a regular road show and there were stunts as interesting and of equal calibre to many of a professional nature, “The business men and local talent responded well and | -to them also is due fh a great measure the success of the | Mardi Gras. The diversity of Bismarck as a trade center | was well exemplified. It was in the truest sense of the word a real community evening in which competitors rubbed | shoulder in cordial spirit and all boosted for the other fel-! low’ stunt—the kind of a spirit that builds a city and puts } the carping critic in the discard. Committees in charge of the various features deserve | the commendation of the people—they worked tirelessly | against some heavy odds to make an attraction that meas- ured up to the highest standard of a trade show. The “I WILL” spirit of Bismarck was well demonstrated last evening and the B. P. & W., have succeeded in a great community effort —Continued success to them in i offorts. UNDER OUR When Abraham Lincoln finished delivering his »urg address, no one applauded. The 20,000 in his audience nerely exclaimed: “Oh!’— in surprise at the brevity of us speech. Aecustomed to political orations, they had ettled themselves for an uncomfortably long-winded talk. Such is the recollection of Mrs. Rebecca C. D. Long, of merville, Mass. She was raised in Gettysburg, and heard Hincoln’s famous address when she was 12, None in Lincoln’s audience realized at the time that he 2was hearing an immortal piece of gratory—and_ probably the finest composition ever penned in the English language, aecording to many competent critics. It takes the perspective of time to distinguish wha truly great from the mediocre’ 6f near-; great.
