CHAPTER TX.
Bingham County BIunders


When the commissioners of Bing-
ham county were issuing the bonds
that were to be delivered in pay
ment of the cost of the court house
when it was being completed in
December, 1885, after the bonds had
been signed but before they were de-
livered, they found mistakes in
them. A certain clause was left
out by the printer authorizing the
county to redeem them at their
pleasure after January /, 1890" In
one place it read that they matured
January 1, 1895, and in another it
read that they were payable June
/, 1895.
A Bomb in Bond Issue
The coupons for the interest pay
able semi-annually should have been
twenty in number, and somebody
looking them over counted them and
found that each bond had forty-two
interest-bearing coupons attached,
running serially from July, 1886, to
January, 1906. They voted to de-
stroy all the bonds and coupons and
to buy new set at cost not to
exceed $50. The bonds had been
signed for seven months, and pro-
vided for the county to pay $1400
more interest than was to be earned
by the capital invested
The board first counted all the
bonds, forty in number, for $500
each, with forty-two signed coupons
attached to each. Then they de-
stroyed them all, and made the rec
ord to show that each and every of
the forty bonds and each of the
1880 signed coupons had been de-
stroyed. They signed the record and
then ordered that new and correct
bonds be issued and signed, with
814 coupons attached.
Dynamite in Meeting
When the board had completed
this job of correcting the mistake of
$1400, somebody remembered that
the board had arranged for an is
sue of $4,000 worth of bonds long
before that, for funding (paying) the
county Indebtedness, and had al
ready delivered them to the county
treasurer to be sold, and that they

Little Rock, Jan. 5,rJohn R.
Frazer, Grand Master Workman
Of the A. O. Z. w, told the Rotary
Club last week that the order of
which he is the head is preparing
to enter upon a most active, en-
ergetic and enthusiastic campaign
for an increase Of membership dur
ing the year 1920 The state has
been divided into eight districts,
with deputy in charge of each.
These deputies, with one appoint
ment yet to make, are A. W. Wiki
enson, c. H. Monk, J. II. Clark,
Mrs. Edith Woodland, A. B. Smith,
L. B. Crosby, and j. R. Jeffries.
The System of local deputies viii
be extended to cover the whole
state, and these will work under
the direction Of the district depu-
ties.
Many new lodges are to be or
ganized and the existing 140 LODI
ges are to be increased in member
ship. 1t is the purpose this year
to complete the original plan of
having a lodge in every county
seat, and working out in surround
ing country. AS it is there are few
county seats where there is not a.
lodge now.
The Order was never so prosper
ous.~ A year ago, in the midst of
the influenza epidemic, the Grand
Lodge owed about 100000 in un-
paid beneficiary claims. But by
careful management and the 10y
atty of the membership all these
have been paid, and on Jan. l,
every completed claim against
the Grand Lodge has been settled
with a membership of more than
10000, with no claims against 1t,
with everybody working for its
advancement, with assets increas-
ing and reserve unimpaired.

AEROLANDINGS
re lrcsentatives OF 80 Southern States
Invited To Provide AirpIane
Fields
Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-Plans for the
establishment of chain of airplane
landing fields have been worked out
by officers of the Army Air Service
and the Manufacturers Aircraft Asso-
citation, it was announced here TODAY.
Army flyers have covered more than
5oO,oOO miles in an aerial survey of
the country and made exhaustive re-
ports on the facilities offered to cross
country flyers.
REPRESENTATIVES of 80 large South
ern cities already have been invited
to establish landing fields under ar
my direction. Many others will re-
celve like invitations during the next
few months. These must be laid out
according to specifications given by
the army and in return the govern
ment gives steel hangers to the mu-
inequalities. Operation of the "air
harbor' is assumed by the municipal
ity. Since the armistice the number
of army fields has been reduced from
so to 16 and the naval air stations
from II to 9.
"The landing field" says the air
craft association, ''is to the airplanes
what the harbor is to be oceanliner
and the railroad terminal is to train.
1t is not merely a flat piece of land
on which flyer can bring his craft
to earth. Such piece of ground
bears the same relation to a real
field as an unimproved water inlet
bears to harbor like New York or
Liverpool.
"a landing field should have, first
of all, dimensions which fit it to ham
die all forms of aircraft. 1t should
have shelter and supplies for flyers
and their crafts and should be acces-
sible to the trade center it is meant
to serve. This feature is of sup
RENE Importance because commercial
aerial navigation will develop only in
proportion to its commercial value.
The field should be identified with
markings visible from great heights
and with radio apparatus so that fly
ers may be aided in finding their way
in spite of the fog or failure to iden-
tify the country over which they are
passing.
Fields at frequent intervals mean
that cross country flyers can come to
the earth for rest, replenishment of
supplies and adjustments to their ma
chimes without inconvenience or un-
necessary delay. In the event of
mishap in the air, such as a stalled
motor, the nearby landing field per-
nlits the pilot to glide to it without
damage to the machine or to himself.

optimistic statement regarding the
trend of affairs in this country was
made by Winston Churchill, Secretary

Mr.. Churchill said:
"Our export trade is growing month

ders are flowing into almost all the

home market, but from overseas.
"Our expenditure is diminishing
rapidly The expenditure of the de-
partments which l control will be less
by the enormous sum of 4OO,000,OO0
pounds at the end of the year than it
was at the end of last year. The rev.
enue also shows steady expansion.
''We are on the high road to re-
covery from the injuries and the re-
tardation of the war and to consol-
idation of the great position won by
the prowess of our soldiers in the
field. But there is one condition. We
must all work together during the

Issues Schedules For Recruits By

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-To stim-
ulate army recruiting and arouse local
interest, the War Department has is
sued to all recruiting officers over the
country schedule for ALLEGATION of
recruits by states to specific regi-
ments. Through this method of dis
tribution, officials believe each state
will take a personal interest in the
regiments to which its men are as
signed.
The framework of divisional or
ganization on geographical lines is al
so set up. New England will make up
division, New York compose another
and similarly the whole country is
covered.
Infantry and field artillery regi-
ments will be so allocated as to best
identify each regiment with a separ-
ate state, according to the plan
Where the number of regiments is
greater or less than the number OF
states comprising the divisional area
regiment may be made up of recruits
from more than one state.

AGAINST MOVING
OF UNIVERSITY
Oxford Citizens Hold Mass Meeting
and Strongly Protest It's Remov-
al To Jackson.

A representative and enthusiastic
mass meeting was held at the court
house in Oxford Wednesday night to
take action on the proposed removal
of the University of Mississippi to
Jackson. The citizens of Oxford
strongly protested such action and de-
clare that the State Capital wants all
the state institutions and stated that
there was too much judgment in the
making up of the members of the leg
islature to make it possible for any
real effort to gain headway towards
the removal.
At the meeting in Oxford, the citi-
zens decided to appoint committee
to go to Jackson to lay before the
legislators the many reasons why the
University should remain at it's pres
ent location. Many reasons were
shown why the University should not
be removed and the disorganization
necessary to it's removal and the en-
ormous expense it would require, were
explained.
