We believe in the old adage, "Give
honor to whom honor is due" And in
the Lincoln Highway Contest which
hasjust closed in our Sunday school,
the ladies cannot let such a splendid
reception and program as was given
us by the men in the recent contest
without in some way expressing our
appreciation.
The contest began the first Sunday
in November. Our Sunday school SUI
perintendent, Arthur Watson, appoint
ed as leaders Edward Clark, for male
side, and Victoria Pruitt, for female
side. Each class was given the name
of car, and a chauffeur appointed by
the class. It was the duty Of this per-
son to give the class record each Sun
day. The superintendent acted as the
State Highway Commissioner.
All cars began the race across the
continent from San Francisco to New
York City. The Hudson, Nora Hill,
teacher; The Buick, Lottie Howard;
Packard, Mrs. Porter Birch; Pierce
Arrow, Flora Jester; Paige, Lottie
Watson; Mormon, BERTHE Andrews;
Dodge, Victoria Pruitt; Maxwell, Rev.
0. w. Sawyer; Hupmobile, r. j. An
drews; REQ, Edward Clark; Ford,
Lillian Mears; and Vim, Bertha Jones.
The, rules Of the contest were: Ten
miles ahead for each new member.
Each absentee was a reverse and
counted five miles back or any scholar
gained from another Sunday school
was puncture and counted ten miles
back. All started off at terrific
speed, gaining each Sunday. Then the
fun began.
The Hupmobile gaining each Sum
day soon reached New York then
started on return trip, reached Chica-
so but just outside city limits some

the car had turned over and chauffer
Cynthia Jester checking up the lost
tourists.
Then came Dodge whose chauffeur
couldn't get the car pass Salt Lake
City. So all stopped off for rest,
having heard so much about the city
and how many wives man can have
and of course, vice versa, this particu-
lar class being composed of young la
dies, young married folks, old married
folks, and Of course few odd maids
The latter often being too late for
their own weddings, causing us to lose
the race.
The Vim, true to her name came a.
long Media Andrews smiling as usual
determined to have her car gain fas-
ter each Sunday:
Then came the Maxwell trying hard
