Lincoln HIGH School

The third annual commencement of
the Lincoln County High school was
held at the high school auditorium
at Panaca last Thursday evening, at
which time two of Panacas talented
young ladies' were graduated.
The clsas of 1914 consisted
of the Misses Doris Cecil Wadsworth
and Leila Laurine Ronnow
Although this was the third COM
mencement held by the L. H. S. this
is the first year that the school has
been duly accredited by the educa-
tional authorities of the state so
the diplomas presented to the grad
uaing class of this year will admit
them to the State University. No
doubt it is exceedingly gratifying to
Mrs. X. NJ. Cook, the principal, and
her able assistants, to know that it
hasbeen through their untiring efforts
that the high school has been brought
up to its present standard of efficiency.

Beginning July l, 1914, all domes-

any money order office, regardless OF
what office they are drawn upon, il
presented for payment within thirty
days from the date of issue.
After thirty days, thsy can only be
cashed at the office named On the

PROBE MAY RESULT IN
ADOPTION OF NEW PLAN
FOR COUNTY ROAD WORK

Road work in the city and county
to be entirely done by contract, or
with the municipality furnishing
merely the materials, the contractor
furnishing the labor, machines and
tools, is a proposition under consid.
Grafton now. 1t is expected to be de-
veloped at the meeting Of the board
of supervisors tomorrow noon.
Such a change in the policy of the
board, if made, will be traceable to
the disclosures made in the recent in.
Vestigation of the road department; by
the supervisors, when it was shown
that politics made efficiency and econ
cmy in road work an almost Iol;orn
hope.
L. NJ. Whitehouse is believed 20 favor
the scheme of letting contractors fur
nish the labor, etc, the city the ma
terials, and giving the contractor, as
his remuneration, a percentage based
On the cost of the work.
He recently recommended that a
small piece of road work be done on
this basis.
By adopting such an uniform pol,
icy the city and county would not find
it necessary to employ such a large
number of laborers, or be weighed
down by such a large overhead ex-
pense. The statement prepared by
WhitehOuse shows that it cost the
county last month for hire alone $12.-

No action has as yet been taken by

There is little difference between
the present and proposed forms, ac-

of church-members, but several
leaders of the historic congregation
of Central Union are opposed to maxi
ing a change at this time, even
though it is slight, and may voice that
opposition tonight. u 4
