MOTOR DEALERS
ATTEND CONVENTION

DGIS VI L IIG NOl1 N1OlOI w.,
Inc, to attend a novel retail
sales convention being held
there for all Chevrolet retail
statesmen in the Ell Paso zone.
More than three hundred
are expected to attend the
convention, which opens with
a luncheon at Hotel Huss-
mann and consists of a full
afternoon of instruction at
the Texas Grand Theater. A
feature Of the luncheon will
be installation of officers Of
the "100-Car Club" a star
salesman's honorary organi-
zation.
A carload of special seen
cry and other theatrical
equipment including talking
motion pictures has been en-
gagged to put on the presen-
tation, which is said to be the
first and largest of its kind
to be staged in the automo-
bile industry for retail sales
men.

regional manager with head
quarters at Dallas, Texas, W.
F. Doyle, Ell Paso zone man.
ager, other members of the
region and zone staffs, and a
factory representative from
Detroit will conduct the
meeting, which will be at
tened by dealers and sales
managers, as we'll as retail
statesmen.
Business sessions in the
convention will take the form
of playlets, in which the
factory officials will take the
part of actors and show by
actual demonstration the cor
rect procedure in any given
situation. Instead of lee
lures, the class of dealers
and statesmen will have
points under discussion en-
phasized by seeing them pre-
sented in a dramatic and eff
fective manner. Every phase
of the automobile industry
as it affects the retail sales
man will be included in the
program.
The meeting is one of 50
to be held throughout the
United States during March.
"The object of the meet
ing, "Mr. Goff explained,
is to give our retail salesmen
better and more energetic
salsmen, which inturn will
add to the good will of our
business and our product, as
we'll as increase our volume.
"By participating in this
meeting we feel that we will
be better equipped than ever
to get a larger volume OF
business from this territory
than it yielded last year. AL
ready business is picking up,
and by taking advantage OF
every extra means of adding
to our volume we hope to
make this spring one of the
best years here that Chevro-
let ever had.
"The move of our local
field officials, che continued,
"ties in with the aggressive
policies adopted by the
! Chevrolet Motor Company
to bring back business to nor
NAL. The automobile industry
is the largest user of raw
materials in the world, and
by bringing out the 1881
Chevrolet nearly two months
ahead of the annual schedule
the company was able to put
mills to work which had lain
idle for months. and start the
ball of general activity to
rolling. The iron miner,
steel worker, cotton picker
and mill hand, the lumber
man and glass blower, and
the many other employees
identified with industries
which lean heavily on the
automobile to use their pro
ducts, felt the effects of the
early announcement in great

INDUSTRIAL LETHARGY IN LINCOLN HAS
NOT AFFECTED SCHOOL AND CHURCH
LINCOLN CITY PART II

In the preceding section an ac-
count was given of the founding and
formation in part of the town of
Lincoln, and how high hopes were
cherished that soon Lincoln would
be MilfOrd's foremost rival. 1t
seems, however, that in spite of its
early growth Lincoln after a few
years settled into a kind of a leth-
argy that could not be shaken off;
and it has only been of late years
that Lincoln has really made some
what of a comeback. Today the
fame of the hatcheries at Lincoln
has spread over the eastern portion
of the United States, and chicks
raised in Lincoln are shipped to all
points in the East
At present a new school is being
built to take the place of an almost
obsolete structure 1t is noticeable,
however, in spite of the meagre
equipment with which the teachers
have been forced to work with, that
great strides have been taken along
educational lines. Part of this
might be explained by the fact that
the personnel of the Lincoln school
consists of a wide-awake, up-to-the-
minute body of instructors. Especial

TO Be GIVEN BY
HIGHWAY BOARD
Here Is A Chance For
Someone To Win Some
Money.

Here is a chance for someone to
win some money and try to help
make things safer. The Highway
Education Board is offering $4,000 in
cash prizes. All members of the
fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
grades and elementary school teach
ers are eligible. The subject for
grade pupils is "My Rewards For
Observing Street and Highway Safe
ty Rules" for teachers, Teaching
the Rewards of Careful Conduct on
Streets and Highways" The essays
by the children must not exceed five
hundred words. 1t may be written
with pen and ink but typewriting is
preferred. Only one side of the pa
per is to be used, of course. Attach
ed to the upper left hand corner
should be a slip of paper with name,
school, and home address. The pu-
pills essays must be illustrated with
original drawings or a poster.
The teachers may write the paper
in whatever way they think presents
the subject best. The name of the
writer should be attached in the
same way as on the pupils essay.
Both essays must be handed to the
principal on or before May Is.

PEOPLE OBJECTED TO FIRST AUTOMOBILES
IN MILFORD; CONSIDERED COUNCIL APPEAL

tied along each side of the main
street and ii one of these cars came
putting along the horses were ter
ribly frightened. They would jump
and rear, and thus cause a great
disturbance. The people so objected
to these noisy machines going
through town that they seriously
considered appealing to the Town
Council to stop the noisy autos
from going through Main street.
Since that time the automobile has
made such strides that they have
practically replaced the horse and
wagon for travel. Today instead of
having the main street lined with
horses as they used to you will find
the perfected descendants of the ma
chimes of twenty-eight years ago.
We have seen the wonderful devel-
Opments in the automobiles in the
last thirty years or so and we are
sure there will be just as much i'm
prOvement in the future. Maybe the
aeroplanes will replace the autos.

New PhOtOplay Club
Has Bright Prospects

Our club consists of the members
of the Chemistry class including
Wilson Nichols, a former member.
For several days we have been de-
veloping pictures, but due to the
fact that we have used all of our
printing paper we will be held up
for few days.
The Manual Training Department
made a dark frame for the window
in the stockroom which we had to
pay $235 for and black cloth stuffed
in all cracks shuts the light out en-
tirely. The Chemistry Department
furnished part of the trays and Ray
Wilson generously brought his
chemicals and paper. Josh Bennett
fell heir to the equipment of one of
Milford's former photographers.
Josh has a large camera which he is
recOnditioning in order to take a
picture of the class.
The Eastman Company has been
very generous in sending books and
magazines and the class is growing
more interested all the time. We are
going to continue during the sum-
mer if we can.

End Of School Approaches
And Day OF Reckoning
Is Near At Hand.

On Wednesday, April IA, the
greater part of our school popula-
ton was forcefully reminded that
the end of school approaches and
that the day of reckoning is near at
hand. Why? Because the whole
day was spent in struggling with
the New Stanford Achievement

the knowledge of student in Para

oning and Arithmetic Computation.
Truly an imposing array of sub
jects! And equally imposing were

ing twenty-fOur pages 955 by II"
just as full as full could be of most
puzzling questions.
Some of you mothers and fathers
who keep telling us what a good
time we are having in school if we
but realized it will please underline
the right answers to these ques-
tions:
"CovetOus means - aYaricious,
bountiful, gaudy, harassed."
sluggish means-cadaverous, in
ert, loquacious, vertiginous."
"A parson is a minister, pond,
pouch, prison, robin"
Il believe in observance (or OBJ
servation?) of the Sabbath"
''The Dead Sea Is in-Babylonia,
Palestine, Syria"
"The Oregon boundary was settled

New Books In Library

1t is seldom that we get any new
books in the library and | think it
a good plan to make the best use of
the few that we do get.
At present there are two new ones
THE Digging in Yucatan," by Ann
Axtell Morris is one. The writer of
this book has travelled in many his
toric places but she says she has
never seen anything which exceeds
in interest and romance the years
she spent in the steaming Yucatan
jungles where great white temples
rise from tangled deep green for
est.
1.-THE Long Defense" by Fredrick
Danauer. is the other good book
which has been chosen as the Sc
lection for. April, 1881, by the Junior
Literary Guild, and the Boys and
Girls Own Book Club. 1t is wild
and exciting story.
These books if read and reported
on will add several points to your

BLACKSMITH SHOP
VISITED BY CLASS
Chemistry Class Hopes To
Visit Iron Foundry In
Near Future.

Last Friday the entire Chemistry
class under the supervision of the
teacher, Mrs. ROOsa, visited Ben
nett's blacksmith and machine
ship, in connection with the chapter
in Chemistry which we have been
studying Iron and its Uses" Mr..
Bennett was very kind, and showed
us how to cut, heat, and weld iron
together, he also make for us a hook
and links out of an iron bar. Mr..
Bennett said that the main thing in
cutting iron was to be sure that you
had a properly tempered chisel to
cut with. To further illustrate his
point, he next heated some iron and
explained that great care should be
taken in heating the iron. TO weld
the iron together after heating u
special preparation is used called
welding powder. 1t is a gray granu-
lar substance which readily adheres
to the hot iron; without it welding
would be impossible. The two pieces
that Mr.. Bennett welded together
were joined so closely that the joint
was not discernible to the naked
eye. During the welding process
Mr.. Bennett and Mrs. RoOsa both
called the attention of the class to
the fakes of iron oxide that fell
from the iron while it was hammer
ed on the anvil. The trip in all was
very profitable experience and it
was with reluctance that we took
our leave, for it is a wonderful thing
to see a raw mass Of iron take shape
under the skilled hands of a smith
and much more interesting to watch
than a machine producing the same
thing. The Chemistry class hopes,
however, to be able to visit an iron
foundry in the near future so that
we may see the pig iron worked into
on larger scale.

Shall We Have An
Inter-Class Meet?

Why can't we have an inter-class
Track and Field, Meet in our school?
We now have the facilities, and the
students seem to be eager and will
ing. It wonld also give us valuable
training for our approaching strug-
gle with Caesar Rodney for the
Championship of the County. 1t
would also serve to create a greater
interest for everyone would want to
see his class the Champions of the
school. 1t is an acknowledge fact
that good clean competition i'll
sports, helps to develop a student
greatly. If it were only with this
idea in view it would be a worth
while project. Let us all get behind
the meet, and have the honor of be-
ing the first school south of Will
mington to have an inter-class
Track and Field Meet.

attention has been given to the de-
Velopment of instruction to the
younger students and with the CO.
operation of an active P. T. A. Lin
coin has of late been able to pro-
vide things for the school which are
not supplied by the State.
Lincoln has also a very active
modern church and is one of the
best rated charges of its size in the
Conference.
Lincoln has at present five stores.
the largest of which is run by Mr..
Morrison, and saw mill as well as
a grist mill. 1t might be we'll to add
right here that in the years gone by
the first Lincoln mill used to grind
whole wheat -four only, and all that
was ground brought fancy prices
from discriminating Philadelphia
and New York consumers. At pres
ent the mill does not grind whole
wheat -four. Lincoln is at present
quite shipping center, shipping
quantities of piling, as we'll as fruit
of different kinds. What Lincoln
needs now is year round factory
and it would soon with its ideal To-
cation prove a worthy rival to Mil
ford. -Yerkes 81

1894 it was built just across from
the Meredith home on the present
site.
About this time a letter was re-
ceived from a number of the mem
bers who had wandered on toward
the coast. The Mispillion Baptists
from what is now Milford Neck
wrote protesting their faith and
asking that they might build meet
ing house, and be constituted or for
med into a Church. Twenty-one
members signed it.
There are also records of what
business was done in the church. A
sharp contrast to our present day
system can be shown by many en-
tries in the book. One of them
reads: August 18th, 1891. Met for
Business. Brothers Price & Merry
dith Brought their report, and the
Accusation against Br. Carter (for
misconduct) appears false. 2ndly.
Appointed Br. John and Jacob Cru

Wilson for not attending meetings"
dec. 10th, 1891. The Church met for
business and agreed to eXcommunt-
cate Br. Wilson tomorrow for ne
glecting meeting and reveling by
which he hath brought Public re-
proach on us"
In 1886 a new church was built,
and in 1871 it burned down. In 1872
the present church was erected, and
once a year descendants of those
founders and other Old School Bap-
lists from many different places
meet at the church. Services are
now held there by member of the
old family, Benjamin Cubbage, but
it's membership has dwindled away
and only few are left. Just little
of it's history has been told here.
Some of the old families have wan
dered away; people do not inter-
marry so much any more; the youn-
ger generation is gone, and yet all
members of the great family are
loyal to the church and keep a low
ing place in their hearts for the
memory of the ancestors who found
ed it. They may never talk of it,
but all connected with the family
are proud of that old Church and
revere the graveyard of the clan.

Students Tested As To Memory
For Music

Last Wednesday and Thursday the
State Music Memory Contest was

to the eighth. The high scores were
made in the fifth and sixth grades.
This week about ten pupils who
made very high scores are to be

these will go to Dover on Saturday
to represent Milford. We are proud
to say that Alma Tease lacked only
two points of making a perfect
score. Hers was the best paper
This year we have studied thirty
five songs, and twenty records based
on the Mailer appreciation work.
In the State Test fifteen songs and
ten records were given.
. There was also a rythm section

about outstanding compositions and
their knowledge of composers.
Next week we hope to publish the

in each. class room and hope to be
able to publish the results of the
contest held Saturday in Dover.

Mrs. Short met two of those wives at
a reception and says they were we'll

also became friendly with other
Mormon women. One of them told
her this story. Salt Lake city was
founded by the MOrmons and for a
long time no Gentiles lived there.
The only religion the girl who told
the story knew was her own until
she went to Los Angeles with her
father, who was one of the seventy
Apostles of the church. In that city
she met a friend, who, upon learn
