Memphidn Guides
Flaming Airplane
Safely To Ground

Guiding a flaming plane, which
safely to earth and escaping without
the slightest injury was the halr,rais-
ing experience Of Lieut.. ]. 7. Edring-
ton, of Memphis. and his companion,
Lieut.. Stone, recently at Post Held,
near Elgin, The Flaming meteor"
aerial ride, It is declared by officials
at Post field, Fort sin, Okla. was
most unique and Is without parallel In
the history of a~eronautics. .
The Two pilots were not IN search OF
any particular experiences when they
left Post field, and the spectacular
ride through the air was born OF ne
cessity rather than in a search for the
unusual. The affair was entirely I'M
promptu and was staged incident to
a carburetor which commenced to act
up and finally caught FIFE.
The situation called for cool and i'm
mediate action. Lieut.. Stone was driv.
ing, The machine was a ~two-control
ship and Lieut.. Darlington took control.
He went into a series of side slips and
managed to keep the ship at such an
angle that the flames were not forced
back upon them.
BY the time the landing was effect
ed the whole plane was a mass Of
flames. and IN spite OF quick work
with extinguishers. the aviators were
unable to saw the machine. which was
totally destroyed. Both the aviators es-
capped without injury.

SCHOOL ELECTION
ARousEs INTEREST
MORE ACTIVITY THAN USUAL
REGARDING AFFAIRS OF THE
OLYMPIA DISTRICT.

More interest is being taken in the
school election to be held in this city
Saturday than has been the rule for
several years, two candidates already
being in the field against A. H. Chris
tOpher, who seeks reelection, with
the possibility that others may get
into the race election day.
Residents of the South and East
sides who desire to see a change in
school affairs have induced Attorney
w. w. Manner to enter the race
against Christopher, while the Olym-
pia Trades Council has endorsed
Frank Satterlee, a well-known local
printer, for the place.
Quite a number Of local citizens
are also pointing to an opinion given
by Attorney General w. v. Tanner
some months ago, that county
treasurer cannot also serve as a
school director, and suggesting that
County Treasurer Fred w. Stocking
should resign from the school board
before the election and permit the
patrons of the district to elect his
successor. Whether Mr.. Stocking
intends to heed the suggestion or
whether the question has been put
before him, has not been announced.
Elections will be held in the
school districts throughout the coun-
ty the same day and considerable in
terest is being displayed in many of
them. Especially Is this true in the
new South Bay district, made by the
consolidation Of the old South Bay.
Puget and Pleasant Glade districts,
whose school affairs have been upset
for some month"; on account Of the
disloyalty charges against one Of the
teachers, Charles r. Carr.
Three directors are to be named
to handle the affairs of the consoli-
dated district, instead Of the nine
now serving, and the prediction
campaign is strenuous.

county in less than a week to result
in a fatality occurred at Maytown

Cook, brakeman on a logging train
in that vicinity, was struck and
almost instantly killed by logs
dumped from one of the cars.
Cook, who had been employed at
Maytown for only a week, was on the
dumping side of the train, helping to
roll the logs into the millpond. When
one of the cars was ready to dump,
the other employees called to him to
get out of the way. He started but
stumbled and the falling logs struck
him. crushed him and broke his
neck.
Cook was 80 years old and had no
relatives in this section, so far as is
known. He came here from Great

tato Growers to be held in Seattle

Farmers Protective League, a new
organization which is seeking a mar
ket for the thousands of bushels of

this state.
"The crop can and must be han
died advantageously." the League
says in letter to the Chamber of
Commerce. 1--WE must make the
market. In case no other outlet can
be found. we may call on the war de-
partment to provide evaporated po-
tatoes for overseas. probably sending

Bennett remarked the other day,
mentioning a new road problem with
which the county has to contend.

them up badly during the rainy win

WILSON Fixes PRICE OF
WHEAT SAME IS IN 1917
Seattle and Portland Price Is $2.O5,
Chicago n. Elk.
poets Big Crop.

A price of $2.20 bushel--the
same as for last years crop-was
fixed by President Wilson this week
for the coming seasons wheat yield.
The price at Portland or Seattle was
made $2.05. e A.
The price is for No. Northern
spring wheat at Chicago, with scale
Of differentials for other markets.
The differentials vary to a slight ex-
tent from those now operative and
range from q minimum Of So to a
maximum Of 1928. ETY. &
This guaranteed price assures the
farmer a reasonable profit even II the
war should end within the year and
the large stores of grain in those
sections of the world that are now
cut OF from transportation should
again come into competition with his
products" the president said in his
proclamation.
"To increase the price of wheat
above the present figure or to agitate
any increase of price. would have the
effect of seriously hampering the
large operations of the nation and of
the allies by causing the wheat OF last
years crop to be withheld from the
market. 1t would, moreover. dislo-
cate all the present wage levels that
have been established after much
anxious discussion and would, there
fore, create an Industrial unrest
which would be harmful to every in
dustry in the country.
II know the spirit of our farmers
and have not the least doubt as to
the loyalty with which. they wifi ac-
cept the present decision he added
