The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1919-10-24

That human life is held as cheap in
the pursuit of progress these days, as
is money in the purchase Of the neces-
sites of existence, is shown by the
fact that ten men lost their lives in
the great trans-continental air flight
from Mineola, N. Y. to SanFrancis-
co, Calf, and back, and up to last
Sunday when a number Of the contes-
tants had not reached their goal,
twenty-seven planes had been crush
ed Each man who lost his life car
ried $4,000 government insurance,
and the money loss on each plane
averaged $4,000. OF the more than
fifty enteries in the race, twenty mine
had been eliminated last Saturday by
the rules, and only eleven started on
the return trip.

LABANON MEN DROWNED
IN THE MISSOURI

Swimming in the Missouri
river is not a safe means ,f re-
creation when the swimmers do
not know the peculiarities of
the stream, and the attempt re-
suited in the death of Henry r.
Zuber and Walter Huyck Of Le-
banon, in eastern Potter coun-
ty, when they were on picnic
trip to the river. They evi-
IDENTIFY tried to wade to sand
bar short distance out from
the shore and went into deep
water where they lost their liv-
es. Zuber leaves family of
wife and three small children,
and Huyck was a single man.
The picnic party watched their
struggles in the water but were
not able to give them the help
necessary to rescue them.

Melon Thieves Get Little
of Their Own Medicine

Down in Gregory county a
farmer discovered crowd of
young men in his melon patch,
and made a quiet advance to
the shadows of the auto which
they had left by the roadside.
He did not make his presence
known but watched to see what
the melon hunters had in their
minds as a method of action. AT
ter collecting a supply of melons,
they began to pull vines, cut
green melons in half and kick
holes in others. That was go
ing a little too far in the view of
the watching farmer, but he did
not protest, in any vocal manner.
Just when he thought the dam
age had gone far enough, he
carved plenty of "scollops" into
an auto tire to square the ac-
count. The young fellows went
on with their amusement" in
the melon patch, and the farmer
with his at the auto, and when
the crowd came to the car to go
back home they were not as
quiet as the farmer had been
while watching the destruction
OF his property. They put up an
extremely long wall about any
man who would destroy property
for them. Up to the present the
farmer holds that he has the best
OF the argument" and is wait
ing for another party to come
out.
