ONE YEAR OLD-THE IIR MAIL
!. IL. -.

The first use of the airplane in commerce was the Air Mail Serv-
ice Of the United States-so it was asserted, at least, by Otto Praeger,
Second Assistant Postmaster General, in an address before the Suoth-
ern Aeronauhcal Congress at Macon, Ga. He went on, as quoted by
The Aerial Age New York;:
'When we started the aerial mail with the assistance of the Army
we we're told if we scored fifty per cent of the schedule trip we ought
to be satisfied, and that we might be compelled to suspend operation
during at least three months in the winter.
When the first anniversary of the Air Mail Service was celebrated,
the same two planes with the same motors that flew the aerial mail
on May IS, a year ago, carried the mail on that day, after a year Of
continuous and strenuous service through sunshine, rain, or gale. The
Air Mail Service is a success, both in the efficiency of its flying and as
a postal facility
Hawaii expects to be included in the air mail service before the
second anniversary rolls around.

4 TRIBUTE

Maui has lost by death, one Of her most highly respected citizens
Edgar John Walker. Yet Maui has gained, for by his passing she
realizes more keenly what manner of man she entertained.
Not only was Mr.. Walker respected for his business ability, but
respected for the traits of Observation-Disclosures him a genial companion,
a kind father and a devoted companion. The family life of Mr.. Walker
was a JOY to the visitor, and the companionship evident between him
and his wife were constant reminders that there is such a thing as happy
marriages. Mr.. Walker had a heart as big as the great outdoors, a
kind word for everyone, a love for animals and was possessed of that
spirit of hunan-ness which lives beyond his passing. While he him
self physically, has passed from Our ken, the spirit of generosity and
ing example.

CEMETERY Superintendent
RESIGNS AFTER II YEARS
Mr.. William ID. Bradford, Who Has
Supervised Digging Of Over 5000
Graves, Resigns to Go to
Large Farm.

Mr.. William ID. Bradford, has re-
signed his position as Superintendent
of the Maysville cemetery and will
move with his family about the mid
die of December to New York state
where he has purchased large dairy
farm.
Mr.. Bradford's leaving the local
cemetery is regretted not only by the
Cemetery Company, who he has served
so faithfully and well but by the gem
eral public which has been more than
pleased with the manner in which he
has cared for the City of the Dead.
1t is wonderful record Mr.. Brad
ford has made during his connection
with the local cemetery. He has been
in direct charge of the graves of Mays
Vile and Mason county people for
tweny-seven years and in that time
he has supervised the digging of more
than six thousand graves. This will
give SOME idea of the rapidity with
which the population of the City OF
the Dead is increasing.
His many friends will be glad tc
know that Mr.. Bradford has becom,
the owner of large dairy farm no
far from New York City and Will,
they regret to lose both him and hi
splendid family, they wish him mucl
success in his new location.

CHRISTMAS SEALS
sale BEGINS dec.
1st IN KENTUCKY
Money Realized From Little Red Cross
Stamps viii Be Devoted To AID
Ing In War on White Plague
In Kentucky.

In every city and hamlet In Ken
lucky on the first day of December
the Red Cross Christmas seals will be
placed on sale at one cent each, for
as many as the buyer may want. This
money is to be devoted directly and
Immediately to the war on tubercu-
losis in Kentucky. There are hundreds
of men and women in the State who
heretofore have not been able to use
the stamps they have bought because
of their interest in this work To meet
the needs of such persons the Health
Bond, in denominations of $5 to 500
has been issued this year.
Kentucky has been given 100000
of these little Red Cross Stamps tc
sell. Kentucky's quota of the six and
half million dollars to be raised in the
nationwide fight on the white plague
has been fixed at little more thar
$130,O00 and il it is realized, 1t will
mean an intensive fight on tubercu'
losis for 1920, according to DR.. J. S
Lock, executive secretary of the Ken
lucky tuberculosis Association.
In his address at Louisville Satur
day DR.. Lock gave some thought-pro
voking statistics as to the ravages o
consumption in Kentucky, saying tina
last year more than 1900 persons diet
of the disease and that there wer'
/ about 10000 cases of 1t in Kentucky
, With proper treatment, he said, man!
of these victims of the plague can b.
cured and at least, with sensible car
taught by qualified visiting nurse
the development of other cases from
these can be arrested.
| Reports from the various counties o
] the State indicate that the quota viii
be raised, but that those interested il
public health work must become &C
tive and present the matter to tn
public, which has always Responded

Seals campaigns.
