out for first time during entire trip and by daybreak 1t was clear but just before sun rise the gulf fog en- veloped everything. Morning proved sunshiny, however, and trip back to the border pleasant, I riding with Major Stokes in Jack Hendricks car
 Met teamster half way between Ril. lita and Salado, going after Jose Villa s car. Villa left us and went with the teamster.
 Left note at Salado for Green, it having been agreed that he and guide would camp there Saturday night, and make the line Sunday.
 Left another note for Green at Buen- os Noche, fearing he might miss the one at Salado.
 We reached the line at 10:30 o'clock, Saturday morning, and were most cor dially greeted by Captain Herbst, who exclaimed
 How in the world did you get the news so Quickly?"
 "The lost aviators have been found" he replied.
 Then he told us all he knew, and that was that Lieutenant Robertson had been found, and he had given di- rections so Col. Bishop could be found, but feared he would be found dead.
 We hurried on to Yuma, where I at once got in touch with Manager Ev- ans of the Associated Press, at Los Angeles headquarters. and he gave me instructions to hasten to Wellton and thence out into the desert and do everything in my power, on behalf ot the Associated Press to try to rescue

Colonel Bishop.


 Without even changing my clothing, which had not been off my back since the previous Monday, in fact very much resembling Weary Willie," l started for Wellton at o'clock with Jack Hendricks and his trusty Old Betsy Ford. We made 1t all right to a distance of a few miles from We'll ton, where we stuck in the mud hard and fast. There was no time to lose. We saw dim light in the distance, though the night had Overtaken us, and to use an expression more for cible than elegant, it was darker than hell and forty black cats" we if nally found 1t was Miss Smiths farm house. She kindly let me have horse and I went on to Wellton, leaving Hendricks to be pulled out of the mud on the return of Miss Smiths team from Dome, which we had passed few miles further back.
 It was raining hard most of my jour ney to Wellton. I couldn't see the road, and the old fool horse insisted on travelling in the brush rather than in the road and finally left the road entirely. l. had to use my borrowed field glasses to locate the green light at the depot and made bee line for it, the horse falling twice with me on the trip.
 Reached Wellton at about 6 o'clock. Hendricks came soon afterwards.

Mr.. Hempel was a man OF
quiet disposition, of un-
blemiShed character and ex-
EN- plary habits, and that
type ola citizen whose
splendid example can well be
emulated by those about him
and whose death inflicts a
grievoas loss upon the entire
Community.
AS a citizen he was upright,
enterpris'ng and true to
those things which make for
the public welfare; as a friend
staunch, unselfish and al
ways sincere; and to those
dearest to him, he was de.
voted, considerate and al
ways kind.
His death will be deeply
mourned, and his memory
enshrined in the hearts of all
who knew him.
To the afflicted ones The

EmbattIed American
Farmer of Year 1917

Times change. In the Revolution
ary war it was the ''embattled farm
ers" who fired the shot heard round
the world.
Today the American farmer Is again
doing something that will be heard
round the world, but in a different
way.
The world is waiting on the Amer
ican farmer for its food. It's hope is in
him. 1t wishes him good weather and
abundant crops, and it will pay him
well
The farmer will help win battles
that he will never see. For our boys
at the front will be well fed and cour-
ageo1s, thanks to his industry and
patriotism.
Nor is the farmers part IN this world
warm this greatest catastrophe his
tory has ever had to record-limited to
producing food. He has his part TO
play before crops are ready for har-
vest. For right now, the nation needs
the farmers support in different
way. 1t needs his cooperation on LIB
erty bonds.
These bonds are issued to equip our
soldier boys with everything they will
need for their safety, comfort and
fighting siren 9Th. The government will
pay every bond buyer 315 per cent in
terest, free from all taxes, and viii re-
turn to him the entire principal. Lib
erty bonds are safe, sure, profitable
investment
1t is the hope of President Wilson
that not a single farmer in the coun-
try will be seen without a Liberty
bond button in his buttonhole.
