cured at Raynham and he then attend ed Oliver Ames High school at North EastOn, Mass, graduating from Am herst college in June of last year. MT. Lincoln has had farming experience as he was brought up on a farm and he also took the agricultural course while iii college, thus receiving a, good insight into the problems of the farm CT from both practical and theoretical points.
 weeks before he graduated from col lege in Massachusetts and he return ed to take his examinations and secure his college diploma. His first work here with the Improvement League was to accept the offer of Irving E.. Crouch of Groton to use his orchards for instructions in pruning anw spray ing. He later held hay demonstrations and also took up dairy, orchard work, and rotation of crops with the farm CTS in the country, finding his time in great demand.
 late in the spring to undertake any great work the first year, yet he ac- ccrnplished wonders and he had plan ned for 6 busy year during 1915. The offer of the Brockton bank carries with 1t a salary of $2500, double the salary paid him the past year, and as his work in Brockton will be confined to narrower field he will have a more advantageous range in which to make showing. He will have charge of the loans made by the bank to farmers and will also be in charge of other work that will bring him into close touch with the farmer.
 MT. Lincoln gave word on January P that he would vacate his position this spring. During his residence here he has made his home with MT. and Mrs. Elmer c. Jewett of Maple Grove avenue. He proved just the man the farmers Tn this county had been look ing for and there was no end of the benefits of his instruction and assist ance. He gave the boys and girls on opportunity to improve themselves and more than one now has good sized sum credited to his or her name in local savings banks, which reflects directly the efforts of MT. Lincoln. His work with the farms, in vegetable gardens, grass plots, orchards, dairy and other lines has proved most prof. itable. Last summer Mir. Lincoln put in much of his time in g. successful effort to exterminate the army worm which invaded the farms in this coun- .ty by the thousands. MT. Lincoln was ever ready to respond to the call of assistance from the farmer and his in- structions were closely followed. MT. Lincoln is a man of excellent character and it is owing to his industry, zea1 and fidelity that he has secured his well deserved promotion. The best wishes of the farmers and others with whom he has become acquainted dur ing his short stay here go with him to his new field

at the West End school building and
every one was in a mood for good
time and had it. The club is composed

Games were entered into with zest
and the fortunes which were drawn
from the magic fortune pie created
a great deal of fun.
Mrs. o. F. Bennett, who made this
delightful evening possible was ably
assisted by Miss Mary Flynn, Mrs.
T. P. Kennedy, Misses Cathrine
