Sunday, September 24, 1944. DECATUR SUNDAY HERALD AND REVIEW Let's Talk It Over -4 i -By Layah Riggs 1 fi 1,4 lJ1 I -w A. 7 fiction published in that magazine in the last 20 years. There is a tremendous Rmount of reading matter in the book, printed in two columns on each page to save paper and keep down the size of the book, but the type is clear and readable. And be sure to read the first poem, "Go Down, Death: a Funeral Sermon." and quite the most beautiful modern poem of many years.

It is by James Johnson, a negro who died in 1938, and the poem was published in 1927. We missed it somehow at that time. It is so beautiful and impressive and we read it twice with such absorption that we memorized most of it right then. It burns in on the brain. The obituary for William Jennings Bryan is the most biting and scathing satire imaginable.

Clever reading, but hard on his familv. L. R. NURSERY For BbiM 10 daw to Operated under a physician's direction. Babies may be left for any period of time.

The years Abraham Lincoln lived in Indiana are referred to a little bitterly over there as "Lincoln's lost years," because so few persons know much about them, what with all the attention given to his childhood in Kentucky and his young manhood in Illinois. But Lincoln lived in Indiana as a boy and the historians over there can show records to prove it, and Indiana is extremely proud of the fact. Let us hope that the play is a success, for Indiana's sake.
