intensely because Of the terrible burns,

the flames. In her efforts to throw
the gasoline can out Of the house
she received additional burns. The
flames in the kitchen prevented Mrs.
Boardway from having access to the
water faucet. This however, did not
keep her from continuing her efforts
to extinguish the blaze. She went
into the laundry in the basement and
procured water from cistern and
soon had the flames under. control.
After successfully combating the
flames she picked up her little son,
who was in an adjoining room, and
ran to the neighbors, who summoned

EARLvILLE VOTES TO CONSOLE
DATE,

An election was held In EarlVllle
on Monday afternoon to determine
whether or not five rural districts
will consolidate with the Earlville In
dependent district. The vote was
not heavy, but sentiment seemed to
be entirely in favor of the PROPOSE
tion. The entire vote was 1SS, with
115 in favor and only % against. Ihe
new district comprises about 20 IL
sections, and will include
the rural districts known as the
Segar. Linnwood, Angel, Burr Oak
and Cousins schools. -,
This means a new modern hlgh
school building will be erected, and
include the departments of agricul.
ture, domestic science and manual
training. The present school build
ing will be used for the grades. The
result of this election shows the
progressive spirit of the voters OF
this community and sets a pace for
others, as this is the first conson-
dated school in the county. AAhfS
