Many Others Started
The re-openlng of the Ford agency
In this city la In keeping with the
recently announced policy of the Ford
Motor company of establishing agen­
cies In many of the amallor com-
uiunltlea of the United Slates. The
establishment of agencies at Creswell
and Cottage Grove has alrec.dy taken
place, and others at Drain, Hbedd,
and Harrisburg, are now under con­
sideration. Tbs purpose behind these
smaller agencies Is to provide closer
contact between the dealer and the
purchaser and to make It easier for
Ford owners to havo their cars serv­
iced and repaired In tbe vicinity
where they dve, according to Mr,
Anderson.

istration will he held at eac. of the
three school buildings on Thursday
uud materials assigned and purchased
on Friday so that actual class work
may begin ou Munday mornlug with­
out any delay.
Tilers Is some confusion about town
regarding the registration dates at
tbe high school. The school board
announced last week that W. Tfi. Buell,
principal of tbe high school, would
be at his office after Bcplemher 16,
to register students. Many people
have btfin led to think that that was
the day for final registration. High
school atuduula will register on Thurs­
day the same as all other student«,
the action of IToteaaor Buell wo*
taken so as to have more time to
discuss various pqubleins with the
individual students. Any student who
contemplated enrolling In the high
school for the first time tula tall la
urged to meet with tbe principal at
his office any day the tiral part of
next week, thus eliminating confusion
ou Thursday,
Grade school children are uot to
report to their various buildings until
Thursday morning. Tbe buildings will
not be opeu before that day and
faculty members will not be present.
The agency here will employ one
bookkeeper, a parts man and a me­
chanic at the outset. Tbe sales work
will be handled entirely by Mr. An­
derson. Who those people will be
has not been decided by the new
dealer.
New Care to Be Shown
A stock of new Ford automobiles
will be here on September 20 In time
for the opening and will be exhibited
at the garage, which will conform
to all Ford specifications as to equip­
ment and cleanliness. A complete
stock of Ford parts will be carried,
and all necessary equipment for re­
pairs on both the old and new models
will be Installed.
Rumors circulating about town to
the effect that the Hlmmona company
would be financially Interested In the
agency In this city were branded aa
untrue by Mr. Anderson, This would
be In violation of one of the major
rulings of the Ford Motor company,
he declared.
l,asl mlnrte work Is now being
completed In .he Lincoln and Ural-
lain schools where new class rooms
are being prepared for use this fall.
Laurence Moffitt, principal of the

tendent of school, at a community
gathering and program planned by
the residents of the district. Walter
Lee will have charge of the music
for the evening and other entertain­
ment features are being arranged. The
program wilt begin at 8:00 o’clock
and refreshment« will be served fol­
lowing the Inspection of the new
school.
The Glenwood school Is one of the
most modern buildings ever built for
educational purposes. It la patterned
somewhat after the school at N?tl
and has Incorporated many of the
more modern ideas into the structure.
The building was constructed by
A. E. Enright of Goshen. The plans
were drawn by J. R. Ford of Eu­
gene.
Arrangement is Convenient
The school has tour class rooms
and spacious hallways. A maximum
amount of light la always available
in each room due to the arrange­
ment of tbe rooms and windows ou
all sides of the building. As one
enters the building a wide stairway
leads one up to the class rooms and
straight ahead of one are two doors
which lead into the upper class rooms
which are so arranged that they may
quickly be transformed Into one large
room forming an auditorium with an
attractive stage and two dressing
rooms at the front. Above the en­
trance is the principal’s office.
In the basement one finds a furnace
and a large fan to be used in forc­
ing the circulation of air In the build­
ing. There also is a handy kitchen
and dining room to be used by the
students or others when refreshments
are wanted. The toilets are also
there. The largest part of the base­
ment which extends under the entire
structure is designed to be used as
a play room for tbe children when
the weather outdoors is inclemenL
A private electric water plant is lo­
cated in one corner of the basement
and will assure a plentiful supply
of fresh drinking water in all of the
various fountains in the halt upstairs.
One Hundred In School
More than. 100 students are ex­
pected to enroll at the school on
Monday when the classes are sched­
uled to begin. There will be a faculty
of four to instruct them. They are

latter who is new this year
The members ot the Glenwood
school board are Fred Frits, chair­
man, J. F. Phillips, and R. B. Old­

measure, a monument to the efforts
of these men.
