our busy day has found undone, and

cares Of our families, our business and
our profession; the struggle to keep up
with the times, up with our neighbors,
with our competitors; the worry and anx-

our friends. Why some of us hardly
know our own families. We are up and

quite awake; we have no time to return
at noon, and then the evening meal
finds us so weary and exhausted that we
can scarcely notice anyone. or have any

Official Finding of Army Board Concerning Aero plane Accident at San An tonic.

Exactly verifying in every respect the exclusive interview given by Glenn H. Grrtiss to The Farmer last week, the official report of the Army Board concerning the death of Lieut. George Kelly in a Curtiss' biplane at San Antonio, Texas, last "Wednesday, was made public today.
 Just as Curtiss said to The Farmer, the accident was due to the small ness of the landing place at San An tonic. The aviator came down at so sharp. an angle that his machine bounded into the air and the fatal crash occurred.
 The Army Board that investigated the accident was composed of First Lieutenant F. N. Beck, First Lieuten- ant B. D. Loulois and Second Lieu tenant John c. Walker, Jr, The Board says:
 After striking the ground the first time the machine bounded to height of approximately ten feet, gradually rising to about thirty feet until with seventy-five yards of the camp of the Eleventh infantry
 'It made a sharp turn to the left and made an abrupt dive to the ground. Lieutenant Kelly was thrown clear of the machine to a distance about twenty feet.
 As result of the first impact Ntlh lliS SdIllt IL IS apparent that the pilot lost control of the front eleva- tor control.
 From all these preceding facts the Board is of the unanimous opinion that the accident was due to the ef- forts of Lieutenant Kelly to avoid endangering the occupants of the Eleventh infantry camp, in which endeavor it became necessary for him to make a sharp left turn which in the crippled condition of the machine brought more strain on the controls than would have been required in a stralghtaway landing. Such straight away landing was impractieable owing to the proximity of the tents.'

Don't Brag If You Haven't
 Got Your Personal Tax Bill

The personal tax collectors today completed the addressing and mailing of their last tax bills. In all 24,0S3 bills were sent out. If you have not received your bill you can rest as sured that either your name is not on the list, in which event you will es- cape the tax, or that the mail carriers could not locate your whereabouts. Numerous bills have been sent back to the collectors for the proper ad- dresses, many citizens having moved or left the city. Perhaps your name is among that number, so don't be telling the neighbors how lucky you are.
 This week the collectors are running up their best record. Citizens realize that the tax must be paid and are do- ing so before the collectors start out on their survey of the. city. Today the collectors expect to pass the $S,000 mark
