Strange may seem OF the features OF the motor
which manufacturers most slow developing
those pertaining to the comfort of the passengers.
This was partially intense desire to improve
plants and transmssons and partially to the fact that
buyers not nsent in demanding more comfort In de-
tense reason must be remembered that when
automobiles began frequent highways those who
rode expected less discomfort just one does
today who aspres to wild game in Africa chart
explored seas Arctic Indeed they look motoring
as strenuous of outdoor exercise rather than
venient and efficient method of transportation.

Dodge Brothers, during the
past eleven years, have built
and sold more than one million
four hundred thousand motor
cars-and more than 5000 of
these cars are still in service.
This record requires no COM
ment. It stands impressively
alone in motor car history.
It has never been Dodge Bro
Tiers policy to build yearly
models. When an improve
ment, that is really an i'm
proven7ent, is discovered, it is
made at once. Their slogan,
Constantly Improved But No
Yearly Models is familiar the
world over.
Dodge Brothers build one chas-
sis and only one. This policy
materially lowers manufacture

Brothers engineers to concen-

thought on the betterment OF
this one type.
Dodge Brothers have never
had an "off year" or an "off

Brothers owners many millions
of dollars by materially prolong-
ing motor car life and by effect
ing marked economies in man

also reduced intellectually the
danger from accident and fire.
Dodge Brothers sell directly
through their dealers to the
purchaser. There are no sec

increase the cost Of distribution

Dodge Brothers have never

The car is sold at a fair and
honest price. Nothing is added

may never need.
Dodge Brothers Dealers were
pioneers in unanimously
adopting the flat rate service

owner knows in advance what
any service job will cost There
are no unpleasant surprises in
his bills.

lacking to this celebration.
This attractive children's scene

It was in the Chinese scene that
the dance of death by Miss Leah

the dance by ten representatives

most skillfully rendered. The song
Of Miss Jordan and Mr.. Walls, the

Lincoln City

The seventh monthly melting OF
the Lincoln Home and School Asso-
citation was held in the school
building Tuesday, March oath with
good attendance. The meeting
was regularly opened by Mrs. Har-
der, the president, with the Lords
Prayer and Sweet and Low" sung
by the assembly. The membership
committee reported that the enroll
ment reached the hundred mark,
which is the largest in the history
of the Association. Ten delegates
to the State P. T. A. Convention
were elected. 1t was expected that
Dr.. Cooper of the Service Citizens
would address the meeting, but
word was received that he was tenn
pOrarily unable to make engage
ments. In lieu of this Mr.. Mick gave
a somewhat more extended talk on
the subject of Health and Santa
tiOn. The meeting was then turned
over to the program committee.
The program reflected the season
of the year in songs, readings and
recitations. The meeting was then
adjourned until Tuesday, April 21.
Last Saturday, March 21, sixteen
pupils of the Primary Room enjoy
ed a trip to Georgetown where, un-
der the direction of Mrs. Mick, they
gave a demonstration in Language
Games at the meeting of the teach
ers of Eastern Sussex. Much thanks
is due to the ladies who so heartily
co-operated in transporting the
children to and from Georgetown.
With the advent Of spring some
new things have grown up on the
Lincoln school grounds. A first
class jumping pit, three chinning
bars, high jump outfit, and a bal
ancing rail give evidence of Lin
coins determination not to be be-
hind on Field Day. When the see
saws and swings are put up, the |
equipment will be pref !

S now complete with an up-to-date

CONDEMN METHODS OF

structiVe diseases are carried over
from one year to the next on the old
canes Of the previous season, and for
this reason all prunings from infest-
ed vineyards should be DESTROYED in
stead of being used for propagation
purposes.
The practice Of nurserymen going
INTO these grape producing areas and
taxing cuttings indiscriminately
from vineyards that are heavily in
rested with black rot and anthrac-
nose should therefore be severely
condemned. There should be either a
state regulation to prevent such
practices, or law by which all dis
eased nursery stock could be con-
demned as unfit for planting.
During the past few weeks the at
tentlon OF the members of the Agri-
culture Extension Department has
been called to the distribution of dis
eased grape cuttings by nurserymen,
as practically all the >prunings from
some of the larger vineyards were
collected by these people for the pur-
pose of using them to sell as cut
tlngs or roots. Every grape grower
should be sufficiently interested in
the complete eradication of these
to such an extent that he
would refuseto have his vine prun-
ings used for propagation purposes
unless he knew absolutely that they
were free from any of these troubles.
If all the grape men in the county
and state would follow this plan the
black rot and other diseases would
be materially reduced as there would
not be the wholesale distribution of
these diseases as is now being car
lied on among many of the nursery
nen.
