FAMOUS. AIR PILOT DROVE
 A CADILLAC IN BOYHOOD

It was at the wheel of 1905 Cad lilac that Lieut.. Commander Albert C. Reed, of the NC-4, the first airplane to cross the Atlantic, learned to drive a power propelled vehicle.
 This old Cadillac is still owned by F. B. Livermore, of South Hanson, Mass, who is very proud of his won- derful car, and of the boy, now grown famous, who used to drive it.
 Years ago, before going to Annap- olis, Commander Reed lived in South Hanson. He used to drive around in Mr. Livermore's Cadillac then, and if he should return to South Hanson to- day, he could enjoy the same privi- lege. The veteran car is still in per feet running order. and as full of pep as ever.
 The car has long since been divest- ed of its original appearance. Its equipment is perhaps more practical than beautiful, but it's condition is still first class.
 "The old car always goes." said Mir. Livermore to a caller. "The excel lence of the various parts after years of use is wonderful. I use the car to drive around in all summer, and in the winter time I make my living with it--sawing wood" Mir. Liver more is Heaven-born mechanic. His wood saving outfit, thanks to his re- liable Cadillac, is 100 per cent eff cient, and yet it in no way interferes with the cars usefulness in Touring" !"
 Mir. Livermore does not know the exact number of miles this veteran of 1905 has covered, but from the best information available, it has travelled at least 150,000 miles.

ROADS ARE BOULEvARDs

Tourists and others coming in re- port the roads almost a boulevard from here to Phoenix, except short rough places between Ash Fork and Williams and just this side of Phoe- nix. The road from here to Grand Canyon is much better than the one from Williams to Grand Canyon, as the latter has not only been recently worked, but one of the bridges has been washed out.

bly,, the ruling body of the Presbyterian
Church In the United States, filed In the
County Clerks Office yesterday summons
and complaint in q suit TO obtain title

ficiaries.
In the complaint the history OF the
feud 10 gone into and court decisions
which the Presbytery claims have been

trustees Of the church are quoted. One
of the court orders specified was handed
down In the Court OF Appeals in Albany

In trust for the Presbytery.
These trustees have not discharged
their duties TO the church, the Presbytery

In bitter hostility to the governing

Presbyterian church and congregation;
they claim the right to administer the
church property for the independents
and have attempted to sell the church
property and remove the site of the

The Presbytery trustees further allege
that the church trustees made contracts
in the name OF the Westminster Church.

ruling body. and suffered judgments and
liens which now aggregate thousands Of
dollars to pile up against the church
building and parsonage. To keep judy
ments from being executed, the plaintiffs
state, the Presbytery has In the last
few years expended SOL 900. The court
- also asked to pass on the validity Of
the liens.

zation and congregation organised by the
Presbytery and Incorporated in March,
1918. following the Court of Appeals
decision. Is the legal ecclesiastical sue
ceesor and entitled to tho use Of the
