LINCOLN INSTITUTE
NOTES.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Special
All Departments of the school are
in good working order and the
various societies have organized
for annual work. Among these
may be mentioned the Buskin, the
L. L. & D, and the Olive Branch,
literary organizations; the Y. w.
c. A. religious bodies; and the
Athletic Association, devoted to
the cultivation of manly and wo,
manly sports.
Prof. West is the very efficient
manager and the boys are enthus-
iastically training for their annual
fall activity on the Grid-iron.
Sunday afternoon service, Sep
ten1ber ~, was conducted by
Father C. N. Noble of the Episco-
oal church of Jefferson City. His
discourse on the theme, ''What is
this ?" was most eloquent and
logical address in which the doc
trine of the Incarnation was very
simply, yet very carefully eluci-
dated.
At the close of the sermon,
Father Noble requested all who
were Episcopalians to remain, and
during his conversation with those
who did so, extended to them a
cordial invitation to regularly at
tend service at his church during
their stay in the city.
President Allen is continuing
his series of highly interesting
talks on Unconscious Educa-
tion;'' the theme Monday morn
ing, September 28, Education
from Surroundings" was intense
ly practical in its application to
home life, school life, and our sur-
roundings in general. No one can
listen to these talks without gath
ering therefrom many valuable
lessons, and patrons cannot fail
to appreciate the fact that the
President of the institution is
striving so hard to develop the
character, of the young people in
trusted to his care.

HICKORY SUPPLY
NEARLY EXHAUSTED
Handlers Of That Product Meet For
Information On the Subject.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 10.-The rap
idly diminishing supply of hickory,
which has recently caused alarm
among manufacturers of hickory pro
ducts, was the subject under discus
sion. at ar~meetin g4~4of--4th hickory
handle manufacturers association
held today at the Southern hotel.
Those present represented hickory
handle manufacturers who produce
80 per cent. Of the product that sup
plies not onl Inc United States. but
England Germany, China, Australia,
South Africa and the South American
countries. Reports previously pres
ented to the association showed that
practically the entire hickory supply
north of the Ohio river has been eX-
hausted. In this territory, it is said,
the supply is confined to a few states
in the south and southeast. AR
The association believes that if
the situation is impressed upon the
public the slaughter and waste of
hickory may be stopped. There IS
nothing yet known that will take the
place satisfactorily of hickory. The
manufacture of buggies. which is ever
increasing in this country, has made
great inroads on the supply During

drastic measures. II <At}
