HEROES ALL

The arrival in Ireland of the first
airplane to make a nonstop flight
across the Atlantic Ocean was hailed
with great enthusiasm, no doubt, but
the world is not thrilled to the ex-
tent it would have been had the feat
been accomplished before the Ameri-
can hop" across the water.
To Captain AlcOck and Lieutenant
Brown is due the distinction of be-
ing the first men to accomplish this
feat and the $4,000 prize is theirs.
These men have entered the realms of
history.
But the world did not experience
the same thrill on learning that these
men had hoped off" as it did the
day Hawker and his mechanic set
out They were the pioneers in the
attempt and the world will ever re-
member them and their strange eX-
periences, even though their trip was
unsuccessful.
America with its NC planes COM
pleted the first flight across the At
lantic No attempt was made for a
spectacular or nonstop fight. The
NC-3, although it did not complete
the trip across, won a victory for it
self in showing its ability to plow
through the water for miles under its
own power.
AT the mere mention of transat-
lantic flights, these three flights, al
though one of them was unsuccessful
i nthe end, will come to mind. Each
has contributed in the pioneer efforts
of making possible some day a com
mon and comparatively safe fight
across the ocean.

THE COUNTY AUDIT

The recent audit of the books of
Boone County, ordered by the County
Court, has revealed several things
which should be taken as food for
thought.
The auditors report said that coun-
ty officers and former officers had
failed through errors in bookkeeping,
lack of vouchers or other reasons to
account for $2,13594 in their reports,
1t is evident that none of the dis
crepancies noted by the auditors was
the result of an attempt on anyone's
part to misappropriate the county's
funds.
But the county officials in several
instances were not able to account
for certain funds.
The County Court should be COM
mended for ordering the investiga-
tion. Another audit should be or
derad four years hence, OF possibly in
two years from now The state law
provides that any county may have
its books audited by the state audi
tors staff on order of the county
court
The ideal arrangement would be to
have every county officials books au-
dited when he goes out of office. That
would relieve the outgoing official of
all connection with the Office. 1t
would give the new office holder {.
clean slate to start out with. And it
would mean greater efficiency in the
conduct of the county's business.

France to visit the spot where his
lifeless body lies.
1t has been suggested that the bodies
of Americas fallen dead should be
brought back to be reburied on home
soil. Congress last week passed a
bill, back of which is a greater idea
than any other, however, which has
been offered along the line.
The bill appropriates 100000 for
an American cemetery in France. IL
aso authorizes the appointment of a
commission to establish this cemetery.
No greater monument could be
erected to those who there gave their
lives that this Nation and other ma
tions might live in freedom. France
would only be too glad to provide a
portion of one of those great battle
fields as a final resting place for the
American soldiers who gave their
lives for France.
Travellers would go there in years
to come from all parts of the world
and stand in reverence as they looked
upon acres upon acres of white grave
stones there. France herself would
ever be reminded of Americas great
sacrifice for France in her time of
greatest need. 1t would have a ten
dency to mold France and America
closer together and would be an out
ward expression of the unselfish de-
votion of one nation for another when
an ideal is at stake
1t is far more fitting that the bodies
of American soldiers who died in
France be there left to rest. To es-
tablish a national cemetery where all
the American dead, comrades in arms,
might become comrades in everlasting
peace, would be the greatest tribute
We could pay to our fallen heroes.

Seen in relation to the total food bus-

ing plants under federal inspection, and
only about IL per cent of the total meat

We handle only about per cent of

Our tanneries handle less than Is per
