The Lowden forces are represent

open to the march primary. Regard

The senator put a series of ques-

main feature in his address.
His questions are:
Did you approve or support the
great principles of government for
which Roosevelt stood?
Did you vote for his election or
advocate his policies either privately
or publicly?
What is your policy as to fulfill

DIVORCE WANTED
AT 81 BY BLUFFS
PIONEER CITIZEN.
John Churchill Married Broth.
er's Widow at Latter's
Dying Request = Ro-
nance Dies Out.

Tohn A. Churchill, "a years old,
pioneer citizen of Council Bluffs, APP
piled yesterday afternoon to the dis
trict court for divorce from his wife,
Mary A. Churchill, on the ground OF
desertion. For many years Mr..
] Churchill was an active business man
owner of many business buildings.
Added to the worldly goods of the
family by the marriage was about
]. $50 acres of the highest priced Pot
tawattamie county land.
Mr.. and Mrs. Churchill were mar
ried in Council Bluffs Oct. 10, 1916.
A pretty romance was connected
with the marriage. She was the
widow of John ~thurchill's brother,
who, when he knew that he was to
die. secured a pledge from his wife
and brother that they should be
married after proper delay and that
the affairs of the big farm should
be continued in the same old way.
There was a prenuptial agree
ment that safeguarded the interests
of the brothers. adult children and
other relatives whom he wished to
remember
The winter following the marriage
Mr.. and Mrs. Churchill enjoyed
honeymoon in Florida and along the
gulf coast, not returning until late
in the spring. The farm work was
supposed to have been entrusted to
competent management.
The following season Mr.. Chur-
chill spent at the old family boy
hood home in the Green mountains
OF Vermont, where one of his BROTH
ers had remained and acquired title
to more than 1000 acres of farm
land. It was pleasant outing for
Mr. Churchill, but not for the wife,
and she returned quickly to the
more pleasing surroundings of the
Iowa farm. This was followed by a
separation Nov. S. 1917.

More Clerks than Ever for Missouri House
lSt. Louis Post-Dispatch.l

A strike of IL negroes brought to
the Legislature by Representative j.
H. Parker, on the promise of good
jobs, was successful after it had tied
up the Republican members of the
House in 7o-hour caucus yester-
day afternoon, and had resulted in
caucus decision to have the largest
and highest priced force of employees
ever known in the House. The House
to-day adopted the report of the Cleri-
cal Committee without protest from
any member. In the caucus the num-
ber of House employees was fixed at
201, and the pay of the negroes in
creased from so day to $3.50. When
Parker's negroes arrived, Chairman
Becker of the Clerical Committee as :
signed them to duty at $2 day do
ing janitor work. The negroes ap-
pealed to Parker. The caucus ad-
vanced the negroes from doorkeepers
to assistant sergeants at arms at $3.50
day. The Republican caucus goes
farther than has the Democratid ma
jority in any other session of the
House, Notwithstanding that useless
clerks in the Legislature has been the
subject of much Republican criticism
of Democratic Legislatures and the
pledge of House leaders that the
House would reduce the clerical force
this year to the minimum.

In August, 1893, the Alabama Baptist State convention, when only few were preesnt took a great forward stel young ministers.
 Now one of the things the founders de- cided upon was to combine manual labor with mental cultivation, and so in 1894 a farm of 355 acres, with in a mile of Greensboro, Ala, was purchased for S6390, a payment to be made in three an nual installments.
 It was with this modest start that the great institution within Greater Birming- haAl had it's inception. A sum of SIP, ,009 was reported at the state convention in it's session in 1885 as having been sub scribed for the Manual Labor schook and by 1886 it was possible to announce an attendance of 50 students
 The panic of 1887, together with inter nal dissension and disorder, so discour aged the convention that at an adjournei l session in December, 1887, it ordered the sale of the property to meet an indebted ness of $7000, the balance of s2O00 was appropriated to ministerial education.
 The chief aim in founding the Manual Labor school was the improvement of the ministry of our denomination, SC ran the formal resolution of the conveh- ton. The incipient steps towards estab- fishing Howard college, however, was born out of a report of Rev. Thomas Chiffon on education made to the state convention in 1S40 for in 1s4l at it's regu- lar meeting in Talladega, it was resolved to establish a college of high character and Marion was selected as it's loea tion
 It was here that it was opened ir January, 1S42, with Professor s. s. Sher man, graduate of Bowdoin college, as president and sole teacher Nine smal

 The college has had it's ups and downs, It was burned to theeground, but rebuilt. Then came the war, and in 1887 at the state convention in Union Springs, there was a spirited debate over the question of moving it from Marion. The subscrip- tion of the East Lake Land company and others was accepted by the prudential committee, and it opened it's doors in the Birmingham district in october. 1887.

Hazards of Transatlantic Flight

Major Kenneth P Latour, in Leslie s.
 The airplane, when in trouble, can
 not stop and set things right. It must
 continue straigt to it's goal or down IL
 goes, down and out. There are, of
 course, exceptions, especially in the
 case of land planes. which can be cited
 but like most exceptions. they effect
 ively prove the general rule. For the
 airplane motor failure or loss of bear
 ing means descent. And in the flying
 business what goes down goes out in nine out of every 10 instances.
 One of the seven unsuccessful en-
 trants the Martinsyde plane, piloted by Raynham, was the victim of the me- ehanical inefficiency of the airpalne as a weight carrier. This plane was incap- able of getting off with the necessary crew and equipment aboard. At the instant of leaving the ground for the long trip from Newfoundland to Ire land it's power and scupporting wing surface proved insufficient to | bear the heavy cargo of oil, fuel, equip ment and crew The planes wheels l had barely cleared the e1rth when II plunged into nose dive and crashed Of all the causes which make up the sum of impracticality in transatlantic lairplane flight, inefficiency will prove the hardest to eliminate. Motors are
  reliability. Navigation is a question of perfecting apparatus and establishing international regulations for the direct ing of aircraft by wireless from any and all stations within calling distance. Weather difficulties are already practi' cally surmounted. nothing short of tornado being capable of blowing a properly constructed airplane to de- struction But the problem of mechan- ical efficiency is not yet anywhere near solution.
 Mathematical axioms. apparently in superable, are at the bottom of the difficulty The problem develops some thing like this: To carry large and profitable loads it is self that airplanes must be developed But the | larger the airplane, the greater it's own weight, irrespective of load. And the greater the. airp1ane's weight. the greater the power required to fly it.
 The more power installed. the greater | the weight of the motor and the great CT the fuel load required. Also, the greater the size of the airplane. the greater the wind resistance. Therefore l the more power required to overcome wind resistance and develop profitable speed Thus again, more fuel, more unprofitable weight, and so on. ad in- | finitum.
