Tonight is high school night at the the intention of the management of this popular dancing club that, start ing tonight, each Friday evening shall be known as high school night, and special dancing events will hold an important place in the lineup of at fractions for the evening. The spot dances for pennants will of course claim great deal of attention this evening Several pennants will be given away. But perhaps the great est attraction is the event-for high school students only-an evening competition for a beautiful, attrac- lively engraved silver loving cup. The cup will be awarded to the couple who, in the estimation of the judges, are the most graceful dancers of the evening. Each week a cup will be given away and at no time will any one other than high school students be allowed to compete. The affair has attracted widespread interest at the school and it goes without say ing that a large crowd will be on hand at the Frolic to usher in the event and that competition will be keen | The management again announces there are no conditions on entering the contest, save only that the en- trants be high school pupils. Carrol Reeds band will of course be on hand to furnish the inspiration, and the re- freshment service will be running full blast throughout the entire evening
 F.. s. Mayfield continues with his dancing classes. Conceded one of the most accomplished dancing masters in the state, he is prepared to teach all the latest dances. and arrange ments may be made at any time foi either class or private instruction.

Abe Lincoln is one Of the best fellows

out Of the great mine of the West, that

Denton Offut's store was small
log structure about twenty by twenty
which stood near the brow OF the
hill east Of Rutledge's tavern. When
they entered 1t Abe lay at full length
on the counter, his head resting on a
bolt of blue denim as he studied a
book in his hand. He wore the same
shirt and one suspender and linsey
trousers which he had worn in the
dooryard Of the tavern, but his feet
were covered only by his blue yarn
socks.
1t was general store full of exotic
flavors, chiefly those Of tea, coffee,
tobacco, muscOvado sugar and molas-
SEES. There was a counter on each
side. Bolts of cloth, mostly calico,
were piled on the far end of the right
counter as one entered and the near
end held a showcase containing q
display of cutlery, pewter spoons.
jewelry and fishing tackle. There
were double windows on either side
OF the rough board door with its wood
en- latch. The left counter held a
case filled with threads, buttons,
combs, colored ribbons, and belts and
jew's-harps. A balance stood in the
middle of this counter. A chest of
tea, big brown jug, box Of can
dies, keg and large wooden pail
occupied its farther end. The shelv-
ing on its side walls was filled by
straw hats, plug tobacco, bolts of
cloth, pills and patent medicines and
paste-board boxes containing shirts,
handkerchiefs and underwear. At the
rear end of the store was large fire
place. There were two chairs near
the fireplace, both Of which were oc-
cupied by man who sat in one
while his feet lay on the other. He
wore a calico shirt with fanciful
design Of morning-glories on it print
ed in appropriate colors, collar OF
the same material and a red necktie.
Abe laid aside his book and rose
to sitting posture.

Next morning ut daylight two par
ties went out in the woods to cut tim
Der for the home of the newcomers.
In one party were Harry Needles car
rying two axes and well-filled lunch
con pail; Samson with q saw in his
hand and the boy Joe on his back /;
Abe with a saw and ak and small jug
Of root beer and book tied in big
red handkerchief and slung around his
neck. When they reached the woods
Abe cut pole for the small boy and
carried him on his shoulder to the
creek and said:
snow you sit down here and keep
order in this little frog city. II you
hear frog say anything improper
you fetch him whack. Don't allow
any nonsense. Well make you mayor
of Frog City,"
The men fell to with axes and saws
while Harry limbed the logs and
looked after the mayor. Their huge
muscles flung the sharp axes into the
timber and gnawed through It with
the saw. Many big trees fell before
noon time when they stopped for lunch.

II reckon we better saw out a few
boards this afternoon. Need 'em for
the doors. Well tote couple Of logs

Samson took hold Of the middle Of

ground. .s. 4

DISCOVER NEW 7'YPE0F WOOD
 FRAME HOUSE

CHICAGO, April 15 (by Associated Press).-A new type of wood frame house, much less subject to damage by fire than those in general use, is being developed and tested at the underwriters laboratories here.
 Tn laboratories announce that it appears practicable, even with the ordinary wood joists and studs con- monly used for floors, walls and par titions, to reduce losses and conse- quent danger to life in houses of this class. Only a few of the danger points need be given special atten. tion.
 The new system developed is by covering of metal Iath and plaster held in place by wires surrounding the beams which continue to act even after the wood beams have started to char.
 Wharton Clay, engineer and mem- Der of both the National Federation of Constructive Industries and the National Congress of the Building & Construction Industries says from the results of this test, it is prac- tically assured that houses can be constructed with practically no extra expense which will stand intensive fire for one hour and keep the fam fly and property safe from destruc- tion"
 "The new method is spoken of as fire safe wooden construction, and it a wood frame so protected by metal lath and plaster that the lives of the occupants or the building would be safe against the effects of fire Thirty minutes is the least time that should be allowed for complete safety but protection of one hour is being sought after by fire proofing engineers"

LANDS TELLS HOW REPORTS
 TRAVEL FAST

CHICAGO, April Is (by Associated Press) An example of how much fast CT incorrect, sensational reports travel than the facts was disclosed in the Chicago bank robbery in which Will jam Dalton, sixteen year old clerk, who stole $772,00 worth of bonds, was credited with saying that he was influnced by the leniency of Judge Landis, in postponing sentence on an Ottowa Illinois bank teller
 Mr Dalton denied the report that he had said he was influenced by Judge Landis, when they were called to his attention a few hours after his capture at HeyWorth, Illinois, February 25.
 The denial was bulletined the same as the first story of the capture, but Judge Landis said he still receives comments from all over the country from persons who have read the in correct report that Dalton had blamed him.
 An investigator of the story at it's source, in Heyworth, brought affidav- it's that MT. Dalton had made no such statements.
