NIGHT SCHOOL

A large number of people gathered
at Lincoln High School Monday eve
ming for the first session of the Con-
tinuation Evening School. Short talks
lwere given by Supt. Schwede and
Principal Hayward, explaining the

ship, Accounting, Arithmetic, Reading
and English, Show Card Writing,
Cooking, Millinery, Sewing and Tex

Counting those who attend the day
school, there are now over 200 enroll
ed in the continuation school work.
This school is a grand thing for the
people of this community who wish
to extend their education and are
prohibited from doing SO because of

With the night sessions and the
various kinds of work that can be

crease in knowledge. There is no
truer Saying than, Learn more,
Earn More" ,;.

AUTO GOES
INTO RIVER

Or. f. X. Pomainvilleis automobile
took an involuntary bath Sunday af-
ternoon when it plunged into the
river in front of the B. r. Gaegins
residence
The doctor was making call at
the Goggins home and left his auto
mobile standing on the cement drive
way in the Goggins yard The brake
slipped and the machine gathering
momentum plunged down the drive
way, across the street and into the
river.
When the doctor came out of the
house, he found the car missing.
ahd discovered it in the river. A
block and tackle were secured and
with the assistance of another auto
mobile, the doctors car was hauled
out, little the worse for its i1volun-
tary Immersion.
Some people say that the doctor
is experimenting with a heavier than
water machine and instead of the
usual practice of the hydroplane, he
is reversing the principle and wants
a machine that starts ON land and
runs along the bottom of the water
sort of a submarine on wheels We
note that this experiment was tried
after the electric company installed
their plIlmotor
AIT any rate quite a crowd collect
ed to see the self bathing auto drag
sed back ON dry land.
