Sunday Is Mothers Day-Be
Sure to Send Her Something

Sunday next, May 10, is Mothers
Day. There has been a general de
sire on the part of schools ana
churches in Florida to make special
observation of the day, and this week
practically all churches are prepar-
ing to celebrate the day with appro-
pirate programs.
In the schools the celebration is
usually on the Friday preceding the
second Sunday in May, and through
out the city and county this will be
the order this week. Churches and
Sunday schools in a great many in
stances will make special features of
the occasion.
There is no movement of recent
years which has found so ready a re-

spread, from a small beginning, over
practically the whole world, even per

thereof.

Last Dav OF Trial.

Christiansburg, Va, May 9.-What
promised to be the closing day of the
trial of Prof. Charles T. Vawter, of
the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, for
the killing of Stockton Heth, Jr,,
March 13, brought the first view of
the sun this section has had since
early in The trial. The sun in turu
brought a renewal of the large at
tendances of the sensational testi-
mony days, to hear the speeches of
w. H. COlhoun, closing for the de-
Tense, and "Jack" Lee, closing for the
state.
The court convened at 10 o'clock,
sitting again in the moving picture
theatre, now given over to staging
a vivid spoken drama, and the house
was early filled.
Yesterday brought one of the most
dramatic moments of the trial and
probably for the first time in the
history of a Virginia court a recess
was ordered to permit jurors, court
officials and spectators to compose
themselves after the sentimental up
heaval caused by the pleading of
JUDGE R. L. Jordan, Of Radford, for
Vawter.
Under the influence Of clearing
skies everything about the county
seat seemed to BRIGHTEN this morning
and Vawter entered court with an
apparent air of renewed confidence.
Attorneys and court officers re-
ceived a flood of communications
from all over the Countrv giving adj
vice in the case and seeing informa-
ton.

r,rorpinc for the defense. received a

Feet-Giving Military
Student First Lesson.
ONE BEST TEACHERS
IN U. S.; RANK, 1st 1T.
Held Altitude Record, Flew
From Chicago to New
York Few Months Ago.
BY ASSOCIATED rRzss.

Newport News, Va, May 9.-Vic-
tor CarlstrOm, aviator instructor at
the Atlantic coast aeronauticaI sta
ton here, and one Of the foremost
fliers in America, and Cary B. Epes,
Of Newport News, q student flyer,
were instantly killed at 1890 o'clock
when the airplane in which they were
flying collapsed at an altitude of
about $500 feet and fell like a plum
met to the earth.
The machine was smashed to
splinters and the bodies of the vic
tins were horribly mutilated beyond
recognition. The fall was witnessed
by hundreds of persons in various
sections of the city, and caused a
near-panic among the children at one
of the public schools, who were
watching the filler during their noon
recess.
Carlstrom was giving Epes his first
flight. They left the ground and
rapidly rose to about $500 feet. They
were flying along smoothly when
those persons watching the machine
saw it suddenly crumple up and
plunge downward.
AS the crippled machine fell, OBJ
servers saw portion of the plane
sailing after it. This proved to be
the right wing. which evidently gave
way and caused the remainder of the
plane to collapse.
Carlstrom reached the zenith of
his fame when he flew from Chicago
to New York for the New York Times
several months ago. Previous to that
time he had flown from Newport
News to New York without a stop,
Setting a record fo- country
flying. Carlstrom also held the
American record for altitude with
pilot and one passenger. having as
cended to a height of $500 feet here
a year ago.
Earlier in his fIving days, Carl
strom flew from Toronto to Buffalo.
He had won numerous other laurels
in the aviation world, and had heen
awarded a medal by the Aero Club of
America.
A few weeks ago Carlstrom had
received an appointment as first
lieutenant in the AVIATION reserve
corps of the United States army. He
was considered one of the hest in
structOrs in the country, and had a
large class of army students at the
local school.
Epes resigned his position as teller
in a local bank last Saturday. and had
arranged to take the aviation course
as a civilian until his application had
been acted on my the army authorI-
ties. He recently betrayed his own
expenses to WASHINGTON to undergo
the examination, and anticiDated an

To be singled out of thousand peo-
pie presenting plan of life that best
evidences the habit OF thrift as applied
to good living and awarded the first
prize of $50, is a worthy honor, to be
coveted by any man. This happy ex-
perience has recently befallen the Rev.
W. c. Poole of Ocean City, Md, to
whom the award was made by a COM
mittee of prominent bankers and busl-
ness men, in thrift contest conducted
by the New York Evening World.
Mr. Poole's salary for the past 16
years has averaged but $733.l8 aside
from house rent and donations. This
is about SIS a week. He has saved
$1,000 visited two exposltions, travelled
through New England by trolley, bought
books and magazines, and given to
church and charity.
Mr. Poole never buys on credit. He
says he has saved $50 year by buying
for cash and $50 on things he didn't
buy because he couldn't pay cash. He
has kept strict account of all expendi-
lures and each year he has tried to DO
better with the same money.
He started thriftward by saving a
dollar a week and has steadily kept it
up. He appropriates ten per cent for
the savings bank. In his letter he says:
81 have never spent a dollar for to-
bacco, drink, theaters, or socalled fa-
shionable dress, but have met the re-
quirements of minister in all grades
of financial and social church life.
" hen cannot get what makes me glad
l am glad of what get-or try to be.
have more to be glad of and less to be
sad Of than any one know. have not
found any one with a better financial
system, although have sought for such.
The above system was largely inspired
by reading the autobiography, when |
was boy of Benjamin Franklin. The
reading of this book should be required
of all Americans before they are allow
ed to vote"
1t would seem impossible on so small
salary to live decently and save
money, yet Mr.. Poole has done it. He
has kept at his plan and has succeeded,
as can every one who makes up his mind
to save money and adopts definite me-
thod. Ills two rules, 'Never buy on
credit" and "Save something every
week." are sensible and sure to ac-
complish wonders if consistently fol-
lowed. They are worth trying out.

GLOOMY DAYS AHEAD
FOR TAXPAYERS.

If any thoughtful citizen of the coun-
try doubts that the cost of the Federal
government is to become a paramount
issue in the congressional elections of
1918, he must be strangely blind to pre-
sent symptoms.
II seems that almost every day the
estimate of the coming deficit swells.
A week ago, it was indicated at $3.50,
100000. Three days ago it was esti-
mated at $500, OOO, 900 and in yesterday S
dispatches it was stated at 1910, 900, 900.
That means that the deficit has been
growing at the rate of more than 1000,
600 day during the fiscal year.
And in order to make that good, we
are told now that besides an issue of
$125, 900, 900 Panama canal bonds, there
must be increased income and inheSi-
tance taxes, additional taxes on distill-
ed and malt liquors, cigarettes and
bottled waters, higher tariff on tea
aud a duty Oil coffee for the first time
in more than a generation.
And when additional income taxes
are mentioned, that must mean a low
ering of the present exemption of 5000
and $4,000 to $1,000.
AS the budget is destined to reach
81, 800, 900, 900, these heavier tax . are
not temporary. They must remain.
Not only that, when national prohibi-
ton goes into effect, as Chairman Fitz-
gerald of the appropriations committee
predicts, the $2S7, ZOO, 600 internal reve-
nue. now paid by distilled and malt
liquors must be raised from some other
source, which would mean more in
come taxes, since the present needs of
the government require customs duties
fixed upon the highest reve nue-pro-
ducing basis.-Houston Post, (Dem.)
