been holding services in the German
Evangelical church repaired to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. s. E. Hall, after
a prayer meeting service. and there
decided to hold a series Of tent meet

Robert Hammond Drives Auto From

Clinton, May 80. That Robert
Hammond, who made a record break

]San Francisco to New York, via the
Lincoln Highway, in six days, ten
hours and fifty mine minutes, can
| make the trip in five days. as he de-
clares he will do when the weather
conditions are more favorable, is the
belief of w. F. Coan, Of Clinton, state
consul for the Lincoln Highway AS
ISOLATION. While the association does
not approve use of the highway as a
race course, said Mr.. Coan, the record
made by Mr.. Hammond is unusually
significant.
Not only did 1t clip more than

z. G. Baker, who journeyed from Los
Angeles to New York, via the southern
route, 1884 miles. in seven days.

recently, but it also furnishes an in
teresting comparison with the record
made in 1910, when the fastest time
via the Lincoln Highway was ten
days and eleven hours, and the 1910
record was made by a relay Of four
HeH, giving the drivers time For rest
and refreshments and keeping the car
constantly under way. That Ham,

Mr.. Coan bases his belief that Ham

with weather conditions favorable, on
the fact that he made his recent
record at time when the roads were
rain soaked. He also calls attention
to the fact that Hammond says he ar
rived at Omaha at a. m. May 20,
and that day made his fastest run,
about 700 miles in seventeen hours. Evil
IDENTIFY part Of that record was made
on Iowa division, Mr.. Coan points out,
and is borne out by the record made in
December, 1915, when the trip across
Iowa from Clinton to Council Bluffs
was made in ten hours and forty nine
minutes, with forty-nine minutes, out
for stops, no right of-way provided
for and passing thru forty-flve cities
and towns in which it was necessary
