GENERAL INCREASE OF TEN
PER CENT IN ENROLMENT

A comparative growth of the Abb
lene high school is presented in the
column below. These figures are
taken from the records and show
an average growth of ten per cent
each year for the years from 1907
to 1916 inclusive. The same ratio
of growth for the next ten years
would give an attendance of $50.
1t is probable that if the new bonds
are voted, a larger growth would
be recorded on account of the bet
ter school facilities and the more
efficient methods that would be
offered. The statement follows.

ABILENE TAKES FOOTBALL
GAME FROM JUNCTION CITY

Abilene came back strong in It's
second game of the season, defeat.
ing Junction City high easily by
the score Of $50. Abilene outweigh
ed their opponents about eight
pounds to the man, but besides this
advantage it could be seen that the
teamwork of the local boys had i'm
proved and that they had lost the
nervousness and stage fright. The
plays went off with snap and there
were few fumbles. There were no
particular stars unless the work of
King, the Junction City back, might
be called stellar. All of the Abilene
team played with pep and with the
old A. H. S. spirit. From the very
first it was easy to see that it was
Abilene's game. The first touch
down came on straight football and
the ball was pushed over in five
minutes after the kickoff The
otHeI lHIee came along reg uldFly,
Junction City looking dangerous at
only one time when after a sixty
yard run by King they reached the
line.
The game was a costly one for
A. H. S. as Irvan Sampson, captain |
and end had a small bone in his |
shoulder broken on the last play of
he game. He will probably be out
'or the rest of the season. Coach
White says he has a good man pick
ID out for the place.

There will be four good games. Lost

oped A. H. S. last year, comes first

As bedtime drew near Settle took a

Berrie insisted that her father and

This was perfectly true; but, in spite
Of his bruised and aching body. the
youth would gladly have taken her
place beside the stove. II seemed pitt
fully unjust that she should have this
physical hardship in addition to her
uneasiness OF mind.
Berea suffered a restless night, the
most painful and broken she had
known In all her life. She acknowi-
edged that Siona Moore was prettier
and that she stood more nearly on
wayland's plane than herself. but the
realization Of this fact did not bring

She is trying to get him away from me.
The more she dwelt on this the hot

She could not lose herself In sleep. tired

turned their soft spots to her flesh. and
she rolled from side to side in torment
Her plan OF action was simple. 81

THE OPPORTUNITY OF YOUR LIFE.

We now have plain proposition
no read, no pay, and if the people of
this county let this go they may never
get another chance to secure a rail-
road, and certainly not within the
near future. The organization here
tofore created, through its board of di-
rectors, failed to secure the building
of the road on the plans outlined and
through negotiations with the pro-
moters have secured proposition re-
quiring the people to put up $50, 600
and the right of way. A change in
the form of subscription is necessary
and immediate action is desirable so
that the contract can be closed and
the survey made. This matter should
have the active and enthusiastic sup
port.of every person in this section
and not permitted to drag. We are
bound to get up few more thousand
dollars, and the sooner the better. Nc
road, no pay, means no loss-it suits
US all. Below we give telegram con

tion agreed on by the board of direct

Closing Of the LiEdsey.wilsOn.

Last Friday night marked the closing
of the 18th year in the history of the
Lindsey Wilson Training School. In
many respects this has been the most
successful year of the school since its
establishment. The girls dormitory
has been full the greater part of the
last session and the new boys dormi-
tory has been crowded with several
rooming in the old buildings, but the
most marked advancement has been
in the number of months that each
pupil has remained in school. The
number in school at commencement
was almost as large as at any time
during the term. The grade record
shows large per cent. of high grades.
This success in academic work is due
to several factors. The comfortable
and well regulated quarters of the
students contributed largely to it.
An earnest body of students has been

of all toward the school has been coed
