doughnuts were made on the

do what hardly "a woman in
the county cant do better,
The farm demonstration was

ing funds for the Salvation
Army, No doubt these peo>
pie are doing this work for
most commendable reasons,
but when we remember they
are being paid by the county
for their time it puts entirely
3 different phase on the sub
ject. Taxes are being in
creased, the law enforces the
c elections and every year
there is a long list of
homes sold to pay these taxes,
peoples homes being taken
therefore to help the Saliva
ton army. Have the coun>
ty commissioners got a right
to do this! Will they hear
the ground swell? No! not
until the people become
aroused and force a change.

NC-4 Wines its Way Across the Atlantic.

Ponta, Delgada, May 27,-
The arrival of the .NC-4 at
Lisbon, marks the completion
Of the first transatlantic air
fight in history with the GOV
eted honor going to a ma
chine designed, built and
manned by Americans.
Flotilla Commander WORT
mann, al Ponta Delgado, has
received a radio message re-
layed from the plane saying:
1--WE are safely on the
other side of the pond"
Later the message reported
to the crew as we'll and gave
brief details of the arrival in
Portugal. The engine works
splendidly and apparently
there was no untoward inci~
dent of any kind.
The NC-4 was greeted by
the cheers of great crowds on
the water front, the shriek>
ing of whistles and the ring~
ing of bells. The plane Cow
cred the distance at a speed
Of more than 80 miles an
hour.
As soon as the news was
reached here, admiral jack
son ordered all the war craft
in the water to blow their
whistles and sirens. This
was kept up for five minutes,
the sailors and officers mean
while cheering the great
American triumph.
Commander Read, accord>
ing to information here, plans
to remain at Lisbon overnight
and continue to Plymouth to-
