The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1920-04-02

There is nothing so monotonous as
the sight of crowds OF shop girls in
such a city as Chicago. They are all
striving to look and act exactly alike.
After you have seen half dozen OF
them, you cease to notice the rest at
all. One characteristic and distinctive
feature, once observed will do more to
make person a parsonage than all the
borrowed graces in Christendom.

Carelessness in things is bad enough,
but carelessness of things is worse.
Youth is very careless of life. That is
because the young do not know its
dearness as do those who have lived.
Carelessness of others lies at the bot
tom of conceit and selfishness. IT leads
to a disregard of others property and
to loose moral views on the people
themselves. In turn you become care
less of your own character. deeming It
wholly satisfactory to yourself as 1t is.
However. what others think of your
conduct always has and always will
matter. An Indifferent attitude forces
upon you the self depreciation OF 9TH

lcentive toward right conduct. Nothing

IT vxas learned through local gar
age man, that young Hart had pur-
chased oil and gasoline late Sunday
afternoon, and that together with
the fact that the boys car is missing,
the police are led to believe that he
NAV be in Cincinnati or Louisville.
Telephone and telegraph lines have
been busy all night and today in an
effort to find him, and Chief of Po-
lice Upton, who is at work on the
case hopes to hear something def
mite from the missing body today. A
number of theories have been ad-
vanced regarding the boys disap-
pearance, and many think that he
might have been kidnapped and is
being held for ransom, as his father
is known to be a very wealthy land

Many Local People
Now Flying

An aeroplane belonging to the
Cincinnati Aircraft Co., arrived in
this city Friday in charge of Pilot
Kenneth Leonard and Mechanic r.
G. Owen. All day Sunday aud Mon
day local people we're eagerly await
ing their turn for a trip through the
air, and up to Monday night about
40 citizens had made a flight
through the air at speed of from
80 to 100 miles per hour. The price
of $15 for Is minutes seems to be
considered quite reasonable by Mt.
Sterling people judging by the num-
Der that are making flights. Includ-
ed in the number have been quite n
few women, and the altitude record
is held by Miss Anna B. Pinney who
went 5000 feet in the. air, while the
stunt record is held by Miss Eliza
beth Clay Highland. The presence
of the machine here has created
much interest and a local landing
field is being contemplated by Mt
Sterling enthusiasts. 1t is probable
a club will be organized here, ma
chine bought and local field estab-
lished and put on the Curtis and
Government maps. If this move ma
terializes machines will stop in our
city quite frequently and will likely
become headquarters in this section
for aviatOrs. Stock in the Cincin-
natl Airplane Company is being of
fered for sale by Charlie McCabe
who has limited number of shares
which he is offering at par. The
Messrs. Leonard and Owen will
probably remain in Mt. Sterling for
several days, at least until they have
Accommodated all those who desire to
take spin through the air at a
speed of from 80 to 100 miles per
hour. Mr. Leonard was formerly in
the government service and is con
sidered an expert pilot and some Of
the stunts he does are indeed re-
markable. The machine he is drv-
ing is a 90 horse power Curtis and
consumes from s to 10 gallons OF
gasoline per hour. The aircraft in
dustry is undoubtedly in its infancl
and we confidently believe in less
than score of years aeroplancS
will be as common as automobiles
are today. Rapid strides are being
made in the perfection of flying ma
chimes and the U. s. Government

many parts of the United States.
There is already an aerial mail SER
vice between New York and Chicago
which is said to he giving entire sat
isfaction, not single trip having
been missed for months, regardless

move for Mt. Sterling ID organize a
