j. s. AV|AT0RS IN
KNOWN AS
FLYING COWBOYS
Service Hat Origin OF The
Appellation; A Suspicious
Cab Driver.

ROME. Feb. Correspondence of
The Associated Press): Flying Cow
boys" is the popular title given here,
to Uncle Sans first fighting corps in
Italy. The American ayiators, officers
and students, located at u. training
camp in southern Italy are frequent
visitors in Rome and as they all wear
the United States Army's service hat,
popularity known here as the Cow
boy" hat the word cowboy has been
applied to them.
That these aviators are regarded as
cowboys was illustrated by an incl
dent with cab driver that occurred
when party of them were on leave
in Rome and went outside the city
walls to see the Catacombs Of ST.
Calixtus on the Appian Way. When
the aviators got out of the cab near
the entrance to the burial place of the
early Christians, they asked the cab
driver to wait. so he could drive them
back to the city.
'But my horse can't stand the trip
back with such heavy load" he ex-
planned. ITS war time and we haven't
corn or wheat to feed him, so he's too
weak. I've got a family to support
and | must take good care of this
horse. You cowboys ought to under
stand how it is
Very well, Wen buy your horse,
won't we fellows" spoke up one of the
aviators who had just been paid Off
"If he's still alive when we get back
to town we will sell him back to you"
While the proposition was made in
all seriousness the driver, thinking he
was about to be made the victim of
some wild west trick, abruptly refused
and drove off with his plug leaving
the cowboys" to walk back.

COUNTRY CLUB
FALLS IN LINE
First War Savings Garden To
Be Planted There
PROCEEDS BUY STAMPS
Possibilities OF Plan, Applied
To Knox County, Are
Tremendous

Tho first war savings garden" in
Knox county will be planted this
summer at the Mt. Vernon Country
club, according TO recent action TAX
en- by the grounds committee.
This plan, which has been highly
commended by the state committee,
will be used all over Knox county in
organizing the agricultural unit for
the thrift stamp campaign There
are 1900 farms in Knox county. If
1000 farmers will agree to set OFF an
acre of land, or even less, and buy
thrift stamps with the revenue, there
will be approximately 100000 pur-
chased by this means.
The action of the country club sug-
gests that this plan might be adopted
in Mt Vernon and some of the small
er towns of the county in connection
with war gardens whose produce is
more than enough to supply the table
needs of the planter.

Mr.. and Mrs. Reed have received a

dated Somewhere in England Just

brief reference to his trip over save
that he was rescued and is in fine
health.

Reed writes, "but | am in me shape
and enjoying everything" He states
that he has travelled through part
of Ireland and England and that the
spring plowing all has been done and
the gardens all made. THE grass is
green here he says.
There's long trail winding be-

states that if any desire to write him,
his address is Tooth Aero Squadron,

There was report current to the
effect that Reed had written back
that he was in the water three hours
