This week's picture he drew in about one hour, while the gentle-man sat in a chair in his home reading a newspaper. Of course, "Bob" had to touch up on it and shade it properly after he was finished, but the actual outline of the features, etc., took him about one hour.

Linden Hall Horse Show Likely To Be Discontinued Number of Exhibitions Held in This Section and Falling Off of Patronage Cited as Reasons; Local Horses Win Cups in Monday's Classes The 8th Linden Hall Horse Show, held Monday, will prob-ably be the last such show to be staged on the campus of the lo-cal school, it was learned Tues-day. Several reasons were advanc-ed for the abandonment of the show, the main one being that too many horse shows are being held in this locality, with the consequent dropping off of inter-est and patronage. The effort in-volved to stage a show success-fully is considered too great for the financial return. Damage to the campus is also a factor. May Day next year at Linden Hall will probably be confined to a small horse show for students of the school, the May Day Page-ant and some social event in the evening. - Charlotte Nicholson, of Steu-benville, Ohio, was crowned May Queen at the colorful pageant on Y. P. Council To Hold Meeting, Join In Hike The Young People's Council of District 9, will hold its 13th an-niversary meting on Monday eve-ning in St. Paul's Lutheran Church at 8 o'clock.

On Saturday the Council will join the Lancaster County Young People's Council in a hike and pic-nic which will be held at the sum-mer home of Prof. Charles Spotts, near Bowmansville. The local group will meet at the Lutheran Church at 1:30. District 9 will have charge of the hillside service. Monday which came as an inter-lude between the horse show for Linden Hall girls in the morning and the main events of the show in the afternoon.

Miss Margarita Beck, of Lan-caster, formerly of town, carried off the honors in the Linden Hall classes and won the cup present-ed by Senator H. J. Pierson.

Miss Beck and her brother, Sammy, placed the horses they were rid-ing third and fourth in the sec-ond division of the pony class, the cup for which was presented by Dr. M. H. Yoder. Norman Badorf's "Billy," shown by Barbara Bechtel, was second in the first saddle horse class, (Continued on Page 5) Births Mr. and Mrs. John Newcomer announce the birth of a son at the Lancaster General Hospital on Tuesday.

SNOOPS Once Mrs. Amos Longenecker liked the songs of the birds; but that was before last Monday. That day, after carefully spread-ing handkerchiefs on the grass to dry, she was dismayed to find them scattered over the yard and two very good ones missing. Later one of the missing ones was found un-der a tree in the Douple yard and there is not doubt that the other is in a nest in the tree. And that same day, robins stole the strings off the chair covers on the Longe-necker porch. Believe it or not, the bumps on South Cedar Street are good for something. Following commencement Wed-nesday evening, Lowell Reiden-baugh, a graduate, changed clothes at home and on his way down stairs tripped over a stair-pad and only saved himself from falling by grabbing the rail. But he dislocat-ed his shoulder in doing so. His father, Harry Reidenbaugh, load-ed him in the car and started for the doctor's office. But the car hit one of the bumps on Cedar Street and jolted Lowell's shoulder into place again. Tuesday was the hottest day of the year thus far. Some ther-mometers hit 100 in the shade, Mrs. Emory Wagner, of E. Orange Street, clerk in Trimmer's Store, told neighbors last week that it was too hot to clean house, and that she would take off this week for it when it would be "cooler."
