Hot Lunches
The country students of the Lin
coin school have the advantage OF
hot lunches this year. A hot dish
Of some kind is prepared by the
pupils under the direction of Miss
Etherington and served under MISS
Snyders direction in a basement
room fitted for lunch room. Girls
of the sixth grade assist the teach
ers. A bowl of soup and crackers
costs five cents and is supposed to
supplement the luncheon brought
from home. There is an average OF
fifteen pupils served each day and
so far the money paid in has Just
covered the expense. The aim is
to serve a different kind of soup
each day in the week, to provide
variety as well as wholesome slim
ulating food.

1917 will go to Concordia, but the
meeting for 1918 will come to ADJ

order that Abilene might have the
advertising benefit of the new hign

no building in the city that can ae-
commodate the basketball meet
that accompanies the assoclatioh'

properly be used as an auditorium

The expeditionary force into Mexico
will make full use of aeropIanes in its
campaign against villa. This became
known last night when the War De-

Gen. Funston stating that he ordered
the first aeroplane squadron to re-
port at once at Columbus, N. Mex. This
squadron is now at San Antonio, Tex
The fact that Gen. Funston ordered
the aeroplane squadron to Columbus
Is taken to indicate that this will be
the concentration point for the punt
tive expedition inc Mexico.
1t is the first indication from the
War Department of the mobilization
plans of the army. 1t is also the first
authorized statement of troop move
ments issued since the President gave
