HOPE is TO BUILD
NEW RURAL HIGH SCHOOL

Hope and the farmers in the Hope
community are now planning on or
ganizing Rural High school district.
This district would include Hope and
the farm land of about three miles
east and west and four miles north
and south of Hope. Under this or
ganization the rural school OF the
various districts, will continue to give
the elementary school education, as
before, but when the children are
through they can attend high school
OF their own which will be located
within a few miles of their homes.
There are many boys and girls In
these neighborhoods who can be in
duced to get high school education
If they can live at home and attend
a good high school of their own.
The Rural High school law was
made only a short time ago and at
present there are over one hundred
such schools in this state, while the
number is increasing rapidly. This
is something the farmers and small
communities of this country have
needed, and they are proving very
successful wherever they are estab-
lished.
Hope and the farmers Of that com
munity are a progressive lot Of neo-
pie. BY adding splendid school
system to that modern little town
with paved streets, electric lights,
and a water system, means adding
more worth to the farms about Hope
and to the town. In few years
hard surface roads will be built thru
Hope, and good Rural High school
building will stand as a monument
for progress in education in Hope
and the surrounding community.

obituary-Mrs. Caroline PIummer.

ODfIudry-NlTS. OdiuuuS iu'
Carolina Rebecca Plummer, nee
Meyer, was born Aug. II, 1886, at
Dayton, Ohio, and departed this life
in the triumph of faith and trusting
in Christ, after a brief Illness at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. j. T.
Lantz, south of Abilene, on the morn
ing of Jan. 6, 1919.
When but child her parents
moved to California, Mo, where she
grew to womanhood Here she en-
tered holy wedlock with Frederick
Plumer, March u, 1856. There came
to bless this union four sons ana
five daughter, of whom two sons pre-
ceded the mother to the better world.
Shortly after marriage they moved to
Council Bluffs, Iowa, and 40 years
ago came west, settling near Abilene,
Kan, making this their permanent
home for the remainder of life, and
where for the last nineteen years.
Mother Plumer lived the life Of wild
owhood.
Long before, and during her last
illness, all that tender filial love ana
appreciative hearts, on the part OF
children and grandchildren could rem
der, was most cheerfully bestowed
upon her. All were constantly in
terested in grandmother's comfort
and welfare, which added much to the
happiness of her declining years. She
in turn, was very appreciative for all
their kindness and was ever con-
cerned as to their well being. On the
last day, while angels were lowering
near to escort her soul to her eternal
home, she called all loved ones pres
ent to her bedside, and with the one
supreme desire of meeting them all
in glory, encouraged them to faith
fulness in the Masters service, and
offered her last prayer in their be-
half. Her life has been blessing to
many and the passing out of Mother
Plumer will record influences upon
other lives that eternity alone can re-
veal In early youth she gave her
heart to God and joined the Mission
airy Baptist church, later uniting with
the Evangelical church of which she
was a faithful, consistent and hon
ored member for 45 years. She
leaves to mourn her departure and to
cherish her memory, two sons, G. G.

ChamberIain's Tablets.

When you are troubled with indi-
gestion or constipation, take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. Indigestion
is usually accompanied by constipa-
tion and is aggravated by it. Cham
berlains Tablets cause gentle move
ment of the bowels, relieving the
constipated condition.

improvements in Contemplation.

Increased hotel facilities are prom
Used for the.city the erection of an
addition to the Stoddart, which will
give the hotel at least twenty five adj
ditional rooms. Mrs. Ella Stoddart &
Sons, owners Of the property, expect
to make improvements to their build
ing to cost in the neighborhood Of
S35, 900. Plans for the Improvement
have been kept secret and no announ-
cement was made until the contractor
began to break ground this morning.
The addition to the hotel will be Il
X 60 feet and will extend from the rear
of the present structure to the alley
on the south and to the street on the
Third avenue side. The addition will
be Of red brick, similar to that of the
present building, and will be three
stories IN height.
Apartments For Mrs. Stoddart.
The addition will provide twenty
Ave or more rooms and one family
apartment, which will be occupied by
Mrs. Ella Stoddart. There will be a
full basement and, owing to the slope
of the site, to the south, the basement
at the alley will be practically all
above ground.
Mrs. Stoddart and sons, Earl and
Harry Stoddart, recently asked for
bids on the improvement but it was
not until Saturday night that a decis-
ion was made. The contract was let
to the C. +. Reimer Company and late
Monday afternoon stakes were set for
the foundation excavation.
Increases Capacity One-Third.
The new addition will increase the
capacity Of the Stoddart about one
third, or to seventy-fve or eighty
rooms. All rooms in the addition will
be provided with bath and running
water and some with showers. The
work is expected to be completed in
about four months.
There will be one direct entrance to
the addition from the Third avenue
SIDE which will lead to the apartments
of Mrs. Stoddart.
Greater Improvements Later.
The improvements to the Stoddart
this year are made only to tide over
until the building later may be extend
ed to the street on Main street and
Third avenue. The demand for in
creased hotel accomo dations has made
it imperative to enlarge the building
to the north and probably next year
the new front will be erected. This
proposed improvement will be much
greater than that of this year and will
cost several times the amount now
being expended,
