Abe Lincoln's Old Carpet Bag Turns Into Local Treasure
Levi Fisher in 1889 acquired a multicolored carpet bag believed to have belonged to Abraham Lincoln. The bag, with leather straps and a brass lock, passed to Fisher’s family and is now kept by Allen Sechrist, who refuses to sell. Historians see strong oral evidence supporting the Lincoln link, and the bag has long been shown at civic events.

World Wheat Surplus Sparks Parity Debate
The International Federation of Agricultural Producers reports global wheat output near seven billion bushels with Canada, Europe, Russia, Asia, South America, Australia and Africa contributing large totals. A domestic parity plan would raise consumer prices to support home markets and may dampen demand, risking export shifts and potential dumping. The Cub Scout program notes 220000 women as Den Mothers.
