ENGLE & SON WILL HAVE
SALE OF FINE HOLSTEINS

E. S. Engle and E. G. Engle, the
firm name Engle & Son, will sell
at auction on January 81 at 1
o'clock, 4 " miles west of Abilene
on the Golden Belt road select lot
of their fine herd of Holsteins. They
say in their announcement: For
three years we have been members
of the Dickinson County Cow Test
ing Association and we are therefore
giving the production of each milk
ing animal for two consecutive years
and the prospective buyer will have
an opportunity to see the dams and
sires of most of the animals offer
ed. During our three years of mem
bership in this association there has
been a gradual wedding out of cows
which could not come up to our
standard for butterfat production.
I'm selling this stock, we are not
quitting. We will in all probability
be milking more cows next fall than
now. We like the business We look
forward to the day when we may
be so fortunate as to have all pure
breds but for the present we believe
it best and prudent to test our
ability as COW men and breeders
with good grades before investing
more money in one animal than she
will earn on a milk and butter
basis"
The herd is one of the best in the
state and the sale will be notable
one.

1902 is SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Report Issued by Supt. Stacey Gives
Interesting Statistics

There was an average daily attend
ance of 929.42 pupils in the Abilene
schools for the four weeks ending
December 90, 1915, according to a
report issued by Superintendent
Stacey. 1892 pupils are enrolled in
the high school, grades and kinder
garten, and the Garfield leads with
an enrolment of 462. The high
school shows the greatest increased
enrolment at 289 for this year,
while the attendance in the other
buildings remains about the same
with the exception of the kindergar-
ten, which shows good increase,
which Is to be expected, as 1t is now
a public institution.
Ten grades and two high school
classes went through the four weeks
without a tardy marked against
them. The Garfield sixth and the
Lincoln fifth and sixth grades had
only one late pupil and while two
other grades had two each. The
Mckinley grades had the most tar
dies Of the grades but 1t also has a
greater number of pupils with long
distances to go. The sophomore and
freshman classes of the high school
with manifold chances for hardness
had respectively 20 and 10 pupils
late to classes.
The race for honors with the per-
centage of pupils perfect in attend
ance was won by the high school by
only the small margain of seven
tenths of point over the Garfield.
Such a record as 249 out of 462 or
1921 per cent OF the pupils at
school every one of 20 consecutive
days is remarkable for the grades.
Per cent of pupils perfect in at
tendance for the other schools was:
Lincoln 1900, Mckinley 5000,
27.45.
Again in the percentage attend
ance the honors are nearly equal
between the Garfield and the high |
the former winning by one
.enth of a point, its percentage be-
ng 96.07. The Mckinley ranks
bird with 95.1 and the Lincoln
ourth with 92.S7.

STILL NO SKATING ON LONG

Still no skating on the municipal
pond. Although the weather has
been freezing it has only registered
a few degrees below that mark at
the coolest since the place was
flooded. The surface froze to some
extent last evening but part of the
water seeped out and the ice in the
center has sunk. The seeping was
due it is thought, to the water
thrawing the ground surface. 1t will
take some real zero weather to put
the pool in the best of shape.

resound with the blinking of skates
and shouts of skaters. Last evening
the junior and senior classes of the
high school, party from the Meth
odist church and others, making
about seventy-five in all, skated I'M
til late at Biesecker's, which was in
ideal condition. If this place was not
so isolated it would be all that
could be desired by the skaters. The
Morton pond, which is not so large,
had even a larger number of skat-
ers, there being nearly one hundred
there. The evenings have been just
cold enough to make a person tin
gle with life and the moon has been
full, illuminating everything suffi-
SO that bonfires were not
