The big event Of the week in Lake.
vista was the Red Cross Auction at the
school house Friday night. Over two
hundred dollars was taken besides
which John Thompson donated horse
which will be sold at public auction
at Dolores, Saturday. March 16. Two
hundred dollars has already been bid
on the horse. The Red Cross COM
mittee are to be congratulated on get
ting out such good crowd. 1t is sur
prising how much plunder each of N
accumulates that we do not need and
which other people want and are will
ing to pay good money for. A cunning
little pig. three rabbits and two dogs
and the dearest little puppy you ever
saw brought some spirited bidding.
After the auction was over we all took
tea, only it was coffee, cake and pie.
After supper the remainder of the
lunch was auctioned.

THE ADVANTAGES OF

EDUCATION

The value Of an education cannot
be over-estimated. An education fits
a person to be citizen--one that Is
able to help solve the great prob
lens Of our country. Our law max
ers, professors. ministers. plblic off,
Osfs. teachers and leaders in this
great country are persons Of educa-
tion. Education broadens the mind,
thus enabling one to understand and
enjoy much that the uneducated per-
SON cannot grasp.
Some persons consider education
In financial way only. I know Of
one man with good education who
made the remark that he fooled away
fifteen years Of the best part Of life
trying to use his education. He fin
ally began to farm. and starting at
the bottom. financially. he has made
a wonderful success. But he speaks
as II his education had been Of no
real value to him on the farm.
think that is a great mistake.
While farmer does not use his
education In az direct q way as q
professional man. yet he uses It ev-
cry day Of his life and to good ad-
vantage. Being able to calculate. he
often adopts methods In bis work 20
save labor and at the same time he
makes a greater profit. The unedu-
Gated and illiterate people are doing
the greater part OF the hard labor
today. The slaves In the south be-
fore the Civil War were kept. ignor-
ant in order that they would know
nothing but hard labor.
We often hear the remark that
the world has progressed more in
the last hall century than in sever
al centuries preceding. II that IL
true, what is the cause? II we looh
back and see the condition of ouI
country educationally. It is easy to
see what has brought these advance.

Walnut Street bridge we were join

Street Methodist church. On the
road over we had some drill prac-
tice and a chance to use a first aid
kit. We reached Oysters Point
without any trouble. We pitched
camp on the shores of the dam at
Oysters Point. Fire lighting tests
were given and nearly everyone
passed the test. Then the fires were
started, and we were pretty busy
Potatoes rolled in mud and then
baked in the fire are great eats. We
do not know whether the water fell
a few inches or not. If it didn't 1t
wasn't our fault. Every five min
utes somebody wanted water. After
dinner we decided to start for home.
We came home by way of Camp
Hill. There is a certain druggist in
Camp Hill who had a great increase
in sales Friday afternoon about
three o'clock. He sells ice cream
and soda pop. You know what that
meant to a bunch of thirsty boys
