 ssnuuine that we were on the right track to find the lost birdmen. That we would eventually have found them there isn't the shadow of doubt.
 If Colonel Bishop and Lieutenant Robertson had kept up the coast, aft CT leaving their airplane they would have run right into our arms. Had the weather been clear could have sight ed their airplane with my field glasses. Had they kept up the coast they would have found water and fresh clans almost at will. But how they ever crossed the Colorado river without seeing it will always remain mys- tery, unless they were so high that clouds below obscured the stream from their vision.
 As a matter of general interest to the rpsding public I take the liberty of printing some of the telegraphic mes sages received by me during this eel ebrsted hunt for the last aviators. to show what pains the Associated Press goes to in order to get all the news. and get it while it is fresh real news. During my absence, Editor Shorey, of the Yuma Daily Examiner took care of the matter for me and did 1t we'll, for he got the first inter view obtained from Lieutenant Robert son. sitting up all night in order to catch him on the train as he pulled through Yuma on his way to his head quarters in San Diego.
 That's the end of my story. I sin cerely hope 1t has not tired my read CTS nearly as much to read it as it has me to write it, but it has been m? pleasure, nevertheless. I would go through 1t all again, and start in right now, if by doing so I thought I would rescue a valuable human life, or add anything pleasing to the life of my fellow man.

 is new with us. It is full of boys, and they have been teaching them to be aviators-chauffeurs This is so of necessity, for about two million dol lars has been the most that the army has ever had for aviation, but recent ly-in the last year or so-they have got something like thirteen million for aviation purposes, and this has caus- ed an impetus in the service. And so so most of the officers who have been detailed to that work, except one or two of the older ones-they are at San
 Diego, and these young officers 25 to 35 years old-are just being trained as pilots. They have seen from lessons abroad and from every where else that it requires some older officers in that arm of the service, with brains and judgment, as we'll as anything else, and so the war depart ment decided to detail some of the old CT officers of the line to go to San Diego and take what they call the field officers course, and there were four of us that were sent there There was Colonel Henley of the Sixth Field Artillery, and myself, and Lieut-Co Bennett, and Major Burnside-four oi us all told.
 We were sent there to receive the rudiments of instruction in this work; that is, the handling of the larger areal units, and instruction and supply work, and not necessarily the pilot age, that being work for younger men. Our course was through about the first week in January and we were waiting for orders to send us out on duty to the different departments in the coun- try, like Gen. Woods department, and so on. We were waiting for these orders, and some of us were anxious to fly, and some were not. I was al ways quite keen to go up after l got over my first timidness, and rather enjoyed being up. I had had several flights, and particularly with young We had always gone to- gether, and we received permission. will have to try to think of the date that was a week ago Monday. I went into the secretary's office, and there were no orders for us, and I said we would like to take a cross-country flight, and he said to go down and tell Dodge to give me machine. said you had better give me written order. He made out a little slip, as he usually does, down to the head of the training department to send me out in the first machine that was available. That was on Monday. something occurred and we could not go. It was a bad day, or but Wednesday we got off.
 We had a Curtiss biplane-a ten thousand dollar machine in very good condition, and our idea was to fly from San Diego to Calexico and back There were no orders or instructions, pr anything like that We went down along in a perfectly off-hand way. No thought of taking any food, or water pr anything, because it was only few hours trip.
 We got into the machine, and just before I left had had my breakfast over on the island-I met the cook and had him give me four sandwiches. He gave me four oranges and four juicy sandwiches. These were stuffed away in the machine, and we got in. Robertson asked me if I had any in- and I said just take nice tripp off towards Calex-

ASoJ o1 SO Ol IO uL1d II SOu Cdll said I didn't want to go down in Mexico. I didn't want Franko Villa to get me. That was all there was to it. We had a few maps of that part of the country, and the last thing I did the night before, I got railroad maps down at Coronado, and automo- bile maps.
 In travelling, of course the compasses are compensated for drift of the ma chine, that is, against the metal in the machine, but there must have been something wrong with this compass, because we made southing all of the time. Once or twice thought Robert son was headed wrong, because could see the sun shining on the struts holding the wings-the shadows they seemed to point, but he seemed to feel
 assured of where he was going. Of course, there was no communication between us. It was not until we pick ed up what we now know was the Gulf of California, and which l was positive at the time must have been the Salton sea, that the country confused us. It seemed as
 though I must be north of Saltor sea.
 We had been gone about three hours
 then, and hadn't picked up the Colo
 F. I.,Jf OU
 river, and nothing as landmark, but
 there was a small lake that 1 didn't
 know existed out here at all. thought
 the gulf was the Salton Sea, and we
 sailed along there for quarters
 of an hour, going due south. We were
 up about three of four thousand feet, and I finally came to the conclusion it must be the Salton sea. There was apparently movement of the water.
 We didn't have field glasses. You cannot use field glasses in an aero plane very we'll The vibration is so great that they do you very little good.
 We came down within 300 or 400 feet of the ground, looking for land ing place. That is the dangerous part, coming down in strange fields. The first time we didn't like the looks of the place, and we went on fifteen of twenty minutes farther, and finally got nervous myself and decided l would come down anyway, and so l did
 We made just as careful landing as we possibly could, and we came down within several hundred feet of the ground and circled over it severaA times, you know, to make sure that the ground was smooth and not soft, but unfortunately at the far end of the place the ground where we descended was soft and the front wheels bit in 1 about six inches. We came down very | nicely and slid along on this ground, | and I was about ready to throw off l my life belt; you know, just about l ready to undo my clevice, when all of | a sudden the machine turned upside | down on it's nose and broke both pro- pellers off. Took what we call nose | dive" We were both in the machine | hanging upside down, hanging there by our belts. I was laughing at this | time, because I couldn't understand | why I was not hurt I was all right, with my two hands spread out on the ground, just as if we were in an auto mobile turned up-side-down, with all that machinery over us. We tried to see if anything could be done for the machine. The crank was not hurt, but the propellers were broken.
 It was pretty dry around there, al though there was the sea. We stuffed a match in the radiator so the water would not run out. Even then we were

 Salton sea, so we walked about five miles further south to make sure, and then it opened up so wide that we knew it could not be the Salton sea, and we came back to the machine and got our little bunch of grub those four sandwiches and four oranges. We had an extra can of mobile oil-tl gal
 lon can-and we emptied the oil ouC of that can and rinsed it out with water from the radiator, and filled it, and that was all we had for the ten days
 We were nearly out of gasoline, and we really came down for conference to talk it over. If we hadn't had the accident in landing we could have ris-
 en and flown for fifty minutes yet.
 That was Wednesday. We walked
 without stopping until it used us up.
 That is all I-know. Robertson and
 must have been together for a week
 anyway.
 What was said between you and Robertson when he parted from you?" Colonel Bishop: "It was the most
 matter-of-fact parting-talk as to what we had better do, and that we had better separate, you know. I had
 got so weak that I could not go over |25 to 30 yards without falling down.
 Robertson was younger and could still stand up and keep going all right. All out food had been gone for several days, and the water. That is what is the matter with my lips; from lick ing the reeds to get the dew off of them. This is fine business when the reeds are all covered with brambles. There was no use of our staying to- gether. He couldn't do me any good and I couldn't do him any good, and he was still able to travel, and we just decided that he had better push on All the time we were afraid we would get nutty and get out of our heads, and we tried to impress it upon our selves that west and north was the way to go. We were not going to be diverted east or south. We hoped to strike the Colorado and follow it up, or get into Calexico. We didn't know where we were exactly and didn't know anything about the country down there They say there is water to be found in these places, and sup pose there is, but of cours } we di'int know where to look for it.
 When Lieutenant Robertson left l you, what did you do?''
 Colonel Bishop: That is just a blank; damned if I know.
 How far did you travel?"
 Colonel Bishop: Il haven't the 1 slightest idea I would walk as far as from here to across the hall and 1 would just flop down. This dysentary | had started from drinking this oily l water. It is hard to imagine that any thing like that can be pulled off at this day and age. You may consider 1 lack of judgment you might get caught and be a little uncomfor- table, but not anything like laying yourself open to such starvation and thirst
 When you get good and well, would you like to accompany Lieutenant down there and get the aeroplane?"
 Col Bishop: Sure, we could get it. We could get that plane out of there, the engine of course, could stay there for a good many years before any thing happens to it. The wings would go to pieces very shortly, because they are very thin fabrick. Some of these prospectors might go down thereI and get the salvage"

An interesting meeting of the
Girls National Honor Guard was held
Monday evening in the high school
auditorium. Many of our members
were present and some more OF our
loyal girls joined. 1t was decided
that we hold our meetings every Mon
day evening at 6 o'clock in the high

agreeable hour and we are sure OF
having a good attendance. Arrange
ments are being made to start drilling
Immediately. The exact days and
time will be decided at our next meet
ing.
We would like to say that the Girls
National Honor Guard is not soclal
Organization. Any girl between the
9hges of IA and 80 is eligible to JOIN
and need not have a special invitation
to do so. Any one caring to enroll IN
the organization may come to the
meetings on Mondays. The duties
will be explained to them and then
thew will be mustered in. We would
like all the girls to join right away so
we can start work together.

Soldier Boys Pass Through.

Companies E, F, G and H, COM
prising the second battalion of the
First Louisiana Infantry Regiment,
passed through Donaldsonville on a
special train over the Texas & Pa
cific Railroad at 1892 o'clock Tues
day night, bound for Camp Beaure-
gard, near Alexandria. Sixteen pas
senger coaches, fourteen supply cars
and two stock cars were required to
transport the troopers and their par
aphernalia. The roster of Company
H includes some seventy-odd young
men of Donaldsonville and vicinity,
and hundreds Of their relatives and
friends, as well as citizens generally,
assembled at the depot to see the train
go by. Many carried packages and
baskets containing edibles or comforts
intended for the gallant boys in khaki.
To everybody's disappointment, how
ever, the train did not stop here, or
even slow up, and there was no OPP
portunity to say word to the soldiers
or hand them the joy-giving parcels
which had been carefully prepared by
loving relatives. Much emotion was
manifested as the train sped by, and
the scene was one that gripped the
heart and caused a throb of sentiment
in the breast of everyone in the vast
assemblage.

Death of Mrs. Thomas D. Cox.

Mrs. Thomas D. Cox, nee Sarah
Ann House, died at the family home
on St. Philomene plantation, near
Barton, at o'clock p. m. Sunday,
July 20, aged 70 years, 1 months and
20 days. Her candle OF life mad
burned to the socket, and while her
loved ones and friends realized the
inevitable end was near, none the less
the extinguishment of the slender
flame shrouded many hearts in gloom
and caused pail Of desolation to de-
scend upon the community in which
she lived The funeral took place
Monday afternoon, services beng
held at the Episcopal church in Ma
poleonville at $3.50 o'clock, after
which interment was made in the
burial ground nearby. Mrs. Cox was
universally revered and respected for
her many admirable qualities. The
trials of life and reverses of fortune
she sustained with dignity and honor,
and her pure and noble heart was
ever the shrine of those pre-em1nent
virtues which should always adorn the
Christian matron. Besides her grief
stricken husband, Mrs. Cox leaves
two sons, Thos. D. Cox, Jr., of St.
Philomene plantation, and Willie Cox,
field manager of the Peytavin planta-
ton adjoining Donaldsonville, both
of whom stand high in the esteem and
respect of their fellows because OF the
sterling character that each possesses,
inherited from both paternal and ma
ternal ancestors. The Chief joins
with hosts of others in extending sin
cere sympathy to the bereaved family.

FALL FOOD SUPPLY.
Farmers Urged to Plant at Least One
Acre in Vegetables.

Our government has asked the
south to feed itself during the war, so
that one billion dollars worth of food
that comes to the south annually
from the other sections of the United
States may be used to help feed our
soldiers and allies.
Why not respond to this call by
planting at least a "fall food acre"
on every farm or plantation in this
parish.
An acre of land on every farm
could be used to no better advantage
this year than for planting ''fall
food acre" The object of this is to
provide food for the family and feed
for the live stock during the fall and
early winter without using from the
spring planted crops, or from the
stock preserved during the summer
for winter use.
Valuable food crops may be plant
ed in August which will mature dur
ing the fall and early winter. Those
who provide vegetables for their
homes at such seasons generally find
the work profitable and highly de-
sirable.
By way Of suggestion, I will say
that the following vegetables may be
planted during the month of August:
Beans (bush)-Green varieties
Giant Stringless Green Pod, Black
Valentine, and Red Valentine. Wax
varieties: Wardwell's Kidney Wax
and Davis Wax.
Brussels Sprouts seed-Dwarf Long
Gland.
Cabbage seed-Succession and
Charleston Wakefield.
Caulifiower seed-Early Snowbell.
Cucumber-White Spine.
Collards-Georgia.
Irish potatoes.
Okra-White Velvet.
Tomato plants.
Turnips.
Shallots.
During the latter part of this month
put out onion sets and prepare for
sowing the seed of a spring crop IN
September.
Eat all the vegetables you can, and
what you can't-CAN. ...
