Will Preside At Conference.

The Board of Bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, has
fixed Wednesday, March 80, 1921,
for the opening of the SD annual
session of the Wilmington Confer
ence, which will continue until Mon
day, April 4, and has assigned
Bishop William F. Mcdowell, OF
Washisgton, D. c., to preside. The
conference will meet in Emmanuel
Church, Crisfeld, of which Rev. L.
Johnson is pastor. Bishop Mcdowell
has presided over the conference On
three previous occasions-at Sea-
ford in 1917, at Chestertown in
1919, and in Wilmington eight
months ago-and has charge of the
Washington area, which includes
the Wilmington Conference terri
tory. The conference met at Girls
field in 1887, 1902 and 1913.
Bishop Joseph F. Berry, of Phila-
delphia, will preside over the Dcia-
ware Conference composed of ne
groes, whose annual session will be
held at Salisbury, from March so to
April 4.
Because next Easter comes in the
middle of March, when the churches
will have special services and the
pastors desire to occupy their pull
pits, both conferences will assemble
later than usual.

Mail Your Christmas Packages
Early.

Early.
The handling of parcels post
packages at Christmas time has
grown into such a tremendous task
that the Post Office Department gen.
orally and Postmaster Dare locally,
are asking the cooperation of post
office patrons in securing the most
efficient service. Wrap your parcels
securely. An extra wrapping costs
little in either effort or material and
it may be the saving of your gift.
Write the address plainly; printing
it usually makes it much more
legible. Be sure your own address
is written in the corner. Make this
small and write the word from"
befort it, so that it cannot be mis-
taken for the address to which it is
to be sent. Above all, mail your
gifts early, marking them to be
opened Christmas morning.

LORENZO HUBBELL MAY BE
 NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN

Phoenix, Nov. 17.-Friends of Sen ator-elect Ralph Cameron announced on be half of Cameron that he had telegraphed J. Lorenzo Hubbell living at Granada, Arizona, asking him if he would except appointment as Republi- can national committeeman for Ariz- Qna.
 Senator-elect Cameron was expect ed to return to Phoenix tomorrow from Flagstaff where he went to at tend a recention to be held in his hon or last night It was expected an an swer to his message might be receiv- ed here tomorrow.
 Hubbell at one time headed the Re- publican state committee in Arizona, and was at one time candidate for United States senator, was a member of the legislature and for many years had been regarded as party leader.
 Vacancy of the position of Republi- can national committeeman was caus- ed by the recent death of Allan B.. Jaynes of Tucson. Possible success sors mentioned in political circles in dicated Frank R. Stewart of Phoenix, one of the three presidential electors; Albert M. Sames of Douglas, Republi- can state committee chairman, and Andrew Baumert, Jr., secretary of the state committee.

ARMY PLANES WHIz OVER
 GLACIERS AND WILDERNESS

Ford-built Liberty Motors carried the four Army airplanes which on October 20 completed the 5000 mile journey from Mitchell Field, Long Is land to Nome, Alaska, and return. The fleet was greeted over New York by a flotilla of forty army planes which escorted it to Mineola. The re- turning planes touched their wheels to earth at 3:15 in the afternoon.
 The Alaskan Flying ExpeGitr.a, commanded by Captain g.. Clair Street, undertook the journey to dem onstrate the durability of modern air planes and motors, and to effect the establishment of an aerial route to the Northwestern corner of the Amer ican Continent and Asia. Such a route would bring mail from Alaska to the States in two or three days, whereas the present method of trans mission requires thirty days.
 Talk about service," said Captain Street. Those planes and motors sure stood up. Why, the only trouble we had on the entire trip was caused by the worst bit of weather I've ever flown through or want to fly through. We had everything--rain, snow, hail and sleet, clouds, fog and mist. But We kept right on flying.
 ''230 miles of glaciers we traversed was a wonderful sight, but there would have been little hope for rescue had we cracked up in that wilderness. Altogether, it was rough trip. I never want to fly through such wealth CT again, but the planes stood it mag nificently. Instead of battered hulks, Hopping to earth after winded flight they looked brand new. Even the turn-buckles were polished and the motors looked as if they had just come off the testing block.
 "We never changed spark plug Never cylinder missed on us the en- tire trip. The motors are in as good condition today as when we set out"
 Be fore the flight, all the pilots asked for ships equipped with Ford made Liberty motors.
 Due to the nature of the work which engaged the expedition, the fleet required period of three months to complete the trip. Since all of the original motors completed the journey without repairs or re- placements, this is believed to be a record for aerial navigation. It will be recalled that during the war, it was generally the practice to overhaul the airplane motors after approximately each twenty hours of flight.
 This is the second notable event in which Ford Liberty motors have fig ured prominently, the first being the transatlantic jump of the Ford Lib erty-equipped N c 4, feat which commanded worldwide interest.

The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1920-04-28

Around the railroad bulletin board
is where the COMPOUNDED Amalga-
mated Association of Knockers" meets
for its daily revel, and to pass COM
pliments on the managers of the rail-
roads; yesterday, one travelling sales
man said to another T. s.: "Have you
ever thought what the travelling men
amount to in the revenue line to the
railroads? Why in thunder can't the
railroads have their bulletin boards
marked right, or nearly so?" His
companion replied: swell, there are
so many laws that have to be re-
spected in Mississippi. If the board
is marked forty-five minutes late,
and the train comes in only ten min
utes late, that train is there for forty
five minutes late. " Then the first
speaker said: "Ah. The man who
does not make mistakes is not worth
having around, FOR he never does any
thing" Some solace for the train
dispatcher, Ill say.

Business on the railroads in and
out Of Columbus is rapidly assuming
normal conditions. For the past ten
days the terminals in the large cities,
where cars have to come in over inter-
change tracks, have been terribly
congested, condition brought about
by the Bolshevik element in labor cir
clcs, This has badly hampered the
handling of business, but the worst
appears to be over, and, within the
next few days, large amount of de-
layed business will have arrived at its
destination. The railroads have the
power. ard will rush the business in
as rapidly as possible. The past week
the stock yards were opened to quite
an extent, and the peddle cars from
the packing houses were arriving in
Columbus on their schedules. All
embargoes are gradually being lifted
to most points.
