Ashland.
The duties of this committee
were agreed to be to help spread
the cooperative spirit for the
big, strong pull that must be
made to accomplish this plan.
They are to devise ways and
means for the citizens part of
the program. They may assess
fees upon the membership of
the organizations they may also
solicit financial aid from friends
and interested parties wherever
found. They may receive con-
tributions from anywhere in
denominations from one dollar
to million! The treasurer is
under bond, and all finances,
big or little, will be safe in his
keeping. In fact, they would be
safe without a bond. Every
body knows Clint Sutherland,
and they know, toe, that he is
so honest that he won't even let
Jim Elswick work one minute
longer in the day than he does
himself. Of course, jim would
gladly do it, but Clint won't let
him. So much for the finance

Some of these projects can be
consolidated and solved jointly.
The Floyd Sutherland, Stratton,
Nora, Hatchet, Mcclure and
Wakenva projects will wisely
be considered together. The
Prater and Turner projects
should be considered with flu
ture additions to the Haysi
building. Rachel Chapel and
Yates will be jointly consider
ed: The need of new building at
Little Lick, Osborne Gap and
other places chouid be consider
ed.
Your board is authorized to
Law a special SOC levy for capital
school improvements. This will
net about $4,000 to $4,000 per
year. Your board can yet au-
thorize about $4,000 literary
loans for buildings. So the pro-
gram can by no means be fl
nanced by pay-as-you-go meth
DDS in less than four to five
years.
We consider Little Fox, al

the most pressing projects for

Plea Being Made For Funds To
Board of Supervisors;
$4,000 Needed For
Teachers Salaries

To the Supervisors of Dick
enson County:
On February 5th, the school
board will ask your board for a
Joint session to consider our fl
nancial dilemma and the school
Improvement program. | con-
slider that meeting to be one
of the greatest Importance to
the future of the county.
About twenty-five communi-
ties in the county have asked
for improvements. The School
Board thinks these should be
considered in order of immedi-
ate need, and thinks four to five
years will be needed to meet
the demands. 1t will cost at
least 100000 to make the i'm
provements, for buildings and
equipment alone. If we pay es-
sentially as we go, we will need
the four or five years time.
Some communities will consider
that period a long one to wait
for improvements, but it APP
pears essential unless we should
issue school bonds.
Following are among the pro
iects that are considered for
the four-year improvement pro-
gram, with approximate costs

Claude G. Bowers of New York,

tional convention, stood today in the
Sangamon county court room, the
walls of which once echoed the voice
of Abraham Lincoln, and painted a
parallel between the Emancipation
and Stephen A. Douglas. his life
long political rival.
Had Lincoln and Douglas both
died in the first year of the civil
war, the historical status of enc
would not have differed greatly
from that of the other. The Lincoln
of history was developed, or brought
out. by the sufferings and struggles
OF four blood-soaked. tear-drenched
years of loneliness and anxiety"
Bowers said.
politicians scorned Lincoln to the
end of his life, and the people will
love him to the end of time.
mo two great leaders Of oppos-
ing forces in all history have been
more strangely identified in their
careers. They were cast for oppos-
ing roles in many a drama of their
day. Their lives touched at many
points, and as long as Lincoln is re-
membered Douglas cannot be for
gotten.
by all the dictates of convention
all the advantage in the contest
should have been with Douglas.
When he first looked out upon the
world from neat cottage. in the
thoroughly settled town OF Brandon,
in Vermont, Lincoln, the child in
his fourth year, was toddling about

educated and successful physician:
that of the other the most tragic of
all failures. an unsuccessful illiterate

background of success; Lincoln of
failure.

Farmer Grinds Own Lens to Make
Astronomical Instrument.
. NoRWALK, Wis, Nov. 22.-With
some old automobile parts, a few
spare dollars and almost unlimited
patience, George Koehlar, 63-year-
old farmer, has constructed an eff
cient telescope.
Koehlar's instrument IS eight feet
long, mounted on concrete pedes-
tai and has ten-inch lens. The
farmer, who likens his interest in
astronomy to the average persons
interest in radio, built his tele-
scope without instruction, save that
obtained from. books.
Grinding the lens, Koehlar said
was the most difficult and tedious
part of his task. The work was
accomplished in three weeks with
carborundum dust.
