MEETING TOBE
HELD TONIGHT

Finance Committee Expects
to Cover More Than Quota
before Opening Of Meet
ing. Wiley Weaver Prom
ises Mysterious Surprises.

The final touches were put upon the
local Swing-for- Congress club in the
law offices of Charles Childers last
night, and the loose ends Of the plans
for the big county meeting Of Swing
enthusiasts to be held in the court
rooms of Judge Cole this evening were
perfected at the meeting.
The committee reported their pro-
gress and planned for further ad-
vances. Old ideas were threshed and
new ideas were put forward. The
finance committee starts out today on
the final march toward the $4,000 mark
in the local campaign fund drive. The
committee confidently expects that by
this afternoon the top will be reached
and that before evening it will be ex-
ceeded. .5s.,
The big whoop-it -up-for- Swing
meeting will come this evening, when
voters from all over the county as
semble in the court room of Judge Cole
to hear of the progress that Swing
made in the enemy's territory, of the
plans that are now under way to in
sure his sitting in congress, and to be
'.nthused by the "big surprise" which
Judge Cole is so noisy and yet so silent
over.
No one, excepting Judge Cole, knows
just what the big surprise will be. The
Judge is quite busy informing every
one that something new and strange
and thrilling is coming up, but he has
not as yet made the nature of this
new, strange and thrilling thing
known.
Swing has been steadily gaining
strength in San Diego, and it is now
thought that there is very little dam
ger of his losing the race he is 50
deserving of winning.

possess. His cal to war consists of
about 1000 words, ana is an emotion
al appeal to the citizens of his state
against what Cantu insists is an out
rageous over-stepping of the power
ct the provisional president.
While 5000 armed men are march
ing upon Baja California, Cantu has,
but 600 trained fighters to stem their
attack. Never -the-less the citizenly
Of the state are highly enraged by
what they regard as De La Hue,ta' s

crossed the border and is being felt
in Calexico. Anxious eyes in Mexicali
are peering toward the borders of the

ITEACHERSFOR
SCHOOL
FOR
COMING YEAR
Principal House Gives List
Of New Teachers. School

20, Says House.

Principal J. L. House Of Central
Union high school announced that all
the teachers for the coming year at
the high school have been selected.
There will be few changes in the
staff this year, due to several Of the
old teachers securing positions in
other localities. G. l.. RICHTER, former
military and athletic instructor, will
not be back, having taken a position
elsewhere. Miss Randall, former do
mestic teacher, Miss Eadie, former
art and mechanical drawing teacher,
and Miss Phelps, former teacher in
the commercial department will not
be back.
The teachers who will return arc:
J. l.. House, principal.
S. f. Allen, machine shop.
Pearl Buell., English.
r. A. Chestnut, mechanical drawing
and wood work.
Mrs. Florence Hoover Rogers,
music and girl athletics.
A. l.. Lackey, commercial depart
ment.
]. E. Potter, biology and agricul-
ture.
Mrs. Emma Spicer Keller, Latin
l.. X. Stillman, Spanish.
and English.

mics.

VIM. Randall, former principal, will

pard, who formerly taught here has
been recalled to fill the place left va
cant by the promotion of Mr.. House
to the principalship.
Principal House states that he
thinks that next year the school will
have the banner year of its history.
More pupils are expected than ever
before, and this fact, coupled with the
excellent staff of teachers which have
been secured, should go far to making
Central Union high school an excep-
tionally fine institution of learning
There are two or three departments
IN the high school which are deserv-
ing of especial mention. The machine
shop department, a few years ago was
one of the smallest parts of the
school. Since the coming Of the s. f.
Alleen to head the department, it has
been built up until it is one of the
most modern and thorough machine
departments in the state. The music
department has also been improved
wonderfully since Mrs. Florence
Hoover Rogers has taken it over.
Although Mrs. Rogers will not be in
charge of that department next year,
she leaves it to her successor with an
excellent reputation for it's amateur
dramatics and Glee Club II. G.
Warner has also placed the history
and economics department on high
standing.
High school starts about September
20 and will probably let out the last
of May, 1921.
