The women's debate squad this
season contains seven University
co-eds who have previously taken part
in collegiate debates and 1t is be-
lieved that there is a probability of
the women's team extending their
no defeat record through the present

not lost a debate during the past
two years.
Debate fans at the University re-

recall the fact that in 1928 the Cow
boys won their thirteenth straight
debate record in room thirteen of the

and that the victory was won on Fri
day, April 18th. Last year the de-
bate season opened on the thirteenth

the College of Puget Sound, Tacoma,

of the west and won thirty two of

Illinois Watch Company Award.
Handsome Souvenir Prize
Through Jeweler Smith.

Springfield, Illinois, was the home OF
Abraham Lincoln. His body was in
TERED in that city. A magnificent
monument, erected largely by the pen
nies and small coins OF the children of
the nation, shelters his body.
An association has been developing
through a number of years to stimu-
late the study of Lincoln throughout
the world, to mark those places in the
city and nearby, which he made sa-
cred by his presence, and otherwise TO
make it worthy of the world shrine it
has come TO be-
The Illinois Watch Company, of
Springfield, has undertaken to create
interest and increase knowledge and
admiration OF Lincoln among school
children in the United States. AS a
civic duty and part of the Lincoln pro-
gram this company offered a beautiful
bronze medal to a pupil in each High
School in the United States for writ
ing the best short essay on the life of
Lincoln.
One of these medals was on display
at Smiths jewelry store. and was pre-
sented to a student of the Pleasant
Vile High School, yesterday Iincoln's
birthday, February 12).
The medal is three inches in diane
ter. The head of Lincoln is a repro
duction of Douglas Volk's famous pain
ting, Abraham Lincoln" The sculp-
turing is the work of Charles Louis
Hinton, an artist OF note. Both artists
are Americans. A space is provided
on the back of the medal for the name
of the winner. No advertising Of any
kind is found on the medal
The first medal was presented to
Lloyd George, on the occasion OF his
visit to the tomb of Lincoln in the

in Lincoln collections and libraries
the country, but none has
been sold or none will be sold they
are not for sale at any price.

CONFERENCE TO
CONVENE SOON
Usual Rumors of Many Transfers
Are Afloat in Advance of An
nual Methodist Gathering.
NO LOCAL CHANGES KNOWN

The annual meeting of the New Jer-
sey Methodist Episcopal Conference
will be held this year in Central NJ. E.
Church, Atlantic City, beginning Tues
day evening, March 4th. Bishop JOS
eph Berry, of Philadelphia, will pre-
side over the Conference this year.
Daily and evening sessions will be
held until the following Monday after
noon, when the annual appointments
will be announced. While there are
no changes to be made in local pull
pits, so far as is now known, yet here
are many rumors of changes in pull
pits which will affect ministers who
are well known in this section of New
Jersey.
There is expected to be at least one
change in Atlantic City, that of Rev.
Edwin F. Ham, of the Chelsea Church.
1t is reported that he has been offered
a salary of $4,000 year to return, but
his desire is to go elsewhere. DR..
Ham, always in demand, may be
transferred to the Philadelphia Con
ference, where he is Just as popular
as he is in this State, and where there
is always one or more churches after
him. During the past week he has
been conducting revival services in
one OF the churches across the Della
ware. Rumor has it that First Church,
Miilville, would like to secure his SER
vices. This charge pays $4,000 a year.
Rev. George T. Harris is the pastor,
and it is understood that he expects
to make a change this year. He was
formerly pastor of the First Church,
Atlantic City.
1t is also said that a call was ex-
tended to Rev. Alfonso Dare, of st.
Pauls Church, Atlantic City, to go to
Millville, but the st. Paul's congrega-
ton have made salary adjustment
which is expected to prevail to keep
the pastor there another year.

SENTENCED TO PRISON
Franklin Lee and Son George Get
Terms at Hard Labor Along
With Herman Lee.

Franklin Lee and his sons, George
and Herman, have all been sentenced
to State Prison by Judge Smathers
They have been before the court sew
eral times, and Franklin and George
were tried for murder and acquitted
only recently.
Franklin Lee drew from eight to
twelve months at hard labor and a fine
of $500. His son George was sentenc-
ed to from two to three years at hard
labor and was fined $1,000 On the
plea of their attorney, bail was fixed
at $4,000 each, in the event that an
appeal was made
The sentences were imposed after
an appeal for mercy on the grounds
that the elder Lee has a sick wife, a
crippled daughter and an aged mother
to support, and that the son likewise
has wife and daughter dependent on
him. 1t was characterized by the
Prosecutor as an attempt to hide be-
hind women's skirts.
On the strength of writ of error
presented by William l. Garrison, at
torney for Herman Lee, Judge William
H. Smathers set bail at SIS, 900.

Atlantic and five other counties of
New Jersey stand to lose an enormous
sum of money that has been coming
to schools for years, if the Whitney
bill, which has passed the Senate, is
also passed by the Assembly and sign
ed by the Governor A bitter fight is
being waged to defeat the measure in
the Assembly, with the odds against
the opposition.
Some idea of the costs to Atlantic
County to taxpayers, should the bill be
finally enacted, may be CLEANED by the
fact that the loss in 1924 appor-
tionments, figured under the new pro-
posal, would have been $152,0475 81 in
Atlantic alone, distributed as follows:
Absecon, $1,S74.06; Atlantic City, $S2,-
