Announcement

The farmers and landholders of
Weakley are asked to convene at
the courthouse in Dresden on Jan.
", 1918, at / p. M, for the purpose
of considering the non-enforcement
of the stock law during the present
crisis, owing to the demands upon
the farmers to supply the demands
made upon them for more cattle and
hogs to supply the nations army and
navy and the armies of the allied
nations, as well as the hungry peo-
pie in the war zone, and help avert
the meat famine that is threatening
our nation. Also the high price of
wire fencing, and the farmers need
ing all the tillable lands to make food
and feed at this time.
This is an appeal to those favor
ing the law to not enforce it during
the war.-Joe Richey, A. M. Penny,

SON OF old 'INJUN'
FIGHTER is GUEST
OF SCHOOLMATES
IN NOCALES

Col. Cornelius Cole Smith, COM
mandant of the Tenth Cavalry VI S.
A.. and commanding officer at Fort
Huacchuca, arrived from that post
yesterday evening, and is sojonrnine
here over night, a guest of Messrs.
Joaquin A. Legarra and Henry Le-
vim. who are schoolmates of Colonel
Smith, all three gentlemen being ma
tives of Tucson, where they were
chums when small boys.
Colonel Smith is a son of Cap
tain Smith, a regular army officer
who in Indian warfare days was sta
toned at Fort Lowell, an army post
near Tucson, long since abandoned.
He married at Tucson, and his fam
lily made their home there many
years, at which time the three gen.
tlemen cemented the schoolboy
friendship they commemorated yes
terday evening. Mrs. Smith was a
sister of Hon. Cornelius Cole, United
States senator from California, and
her son, the visitor of yesterday
evening was named after her
brother.
Several years ago, when he was a
captain in the Fifth Cavalry, Colonel
Smith was stationed at Nogales,
and he was ranking officer, in COM
mand, a part of the time. That was
before border troubles brought here
SO large a force as has been main
tained of late, and the garrison was
small. AT that time the then Cap
tain Smith made many warm friends
who will recall him with pleasure.

THAW, NOW LIEUT..
COL, TO DIRECT
RETURN Of
PLANES

PARIS, Dec. 26.-William Thaw,
of Pittsburg, organizer ,of the La
fayette Escadrille in which he at
tanned the rank of lieutenant in the
French army, has been promoted to
ieu'tenant-colonel in the United
States Army, and is in command OF
wing, comprising four groups OF
four squadrons each of aeroplanes.
Thaw's group is advancing with
the Third American Army of Occu-
patton and will participate in
bringing back the aeroplanes sur
rendered to the Allies by the enemy
in accordance with the armistice
terms. His pilots will fly back the
German machines from the points
along the Rhine where they are
turned over to the Americans.
Inasmuch as Lieutenant-C Colonel
Thaw's wing comprises pursuit, OBJ
servation and bombing squadrons,
his aviators will be able to operate
all of the various types of machines
which the enemy will surrender.
Among the first of the German ma
chimes to be delivered will be the
big night bombers of the Gotha and
Friederichshafen type. These will be
flown to an American aviation field
by Yankee bombers, who while they
have never driven such large ma
chimes, have had experience in handl-
ing these big unwieldy raiders.
Thaw's observation pilots will fly
back in the German Aviatiks and
S. F. WIS, and his chase pilots will
take delivery of the Fokkers and
Pfalz types, which are nearly iden-
tical to the Frenchmade S. P. A. DIS
and Nieuports which the Americans
have been using.
