 Firing of an aerial race with Rene Barrier, Simon, during the closing flight of sensational opening day, left the aviation field and heading across the prairies darted directly for a herd of cattle grazing a half mile away. Cowbys were just arriving preparatory to moving the "beefers" when simon bolted down and. circling around the panic stricken animals, soon had them on a hard trot toward the aviation field He drove them up to the fence separating the fields from the prairie and then, just to prove that he could do almost anything he pleased with them, he started tn em off in the opposite di- rection, delivering them into the as- founded cowboys hands. who did not appear to know whether to take the matter as joke or serious matter.
 Roland B. Garros also flew today, The tournament will extend through four days.

BOYS CLUB NOTES
BY TOMMY WATSON

We newsies think that we have right to be proud of ourselves this winter, not only because MT Hoadley and the others say that the conduct of the whole bunch of us on the streets has been so fine. but because there has not been over three or four of our boys who have not been regularly in school. These boys have been SO fixed that they could not attend the public schools up till now, t.nt they are going to start right after rehruary 1. for everything has been ar ranged so they can go. What do you think of that for 'some' good record? And MT. Willows says that Alabama hasn't got no compulsory education law either.
 lust because it is winter time hash t kept us from enjoying the woods and the hills during the last two weeks. And we are planning to go on big romp next Saturday morning out to tie summer camp grounds at Gate City. All the boys who were out to camp last sum- mer know what fine place, 1t is; we're going to cook our own dinner over the camp fire, and be back in time to sell News and Ledger in the afternoon.
 There have been whole lot of new kids to join the club this week, too. and our rooms have been busy all the time. We are on the boom, that's what we are.

STOP VOTE BUYING
BY AN AGREEMENT
Edgar County Politicians May Get
Observation-Disclosures Ii Would
Give Even Break.

Paris. Ill, Feb. 9-In a signed
statement regarding the eradication
of the vote-buying evil in Paris and
Edgar county, T. c. McCOrd. chair
man of the republican county COM
mittee. states he is willing to ar
range a meeting of his committee
with the democratic county commit
tee for the purpose of drawing up a
working agreement between the
leaders of the two parties.
1T is up to H s. Tanner, the
democratic chairman" says McCord,
Ito meet us half way in this move
ment.'
For some weeks there has been
comment on this phase of local pol
itics and as to the best method to
effect a cure for the evil Some have
favored action by a special grand
jury. while others believe this would
be fruitless unless it could be done
with the cooperation of the party
leaders of both sides. as was the
case in Adams county. Ohio.
MCCord claims that if the political
leaders enter into an honor-bound
a greement not to buy votes nor TO
solicit money for the purpose of pur-
votes the result would be the
same. and it is along this line that
the two committees would act under
his plan.
