KILLS THE FATTED PIG

CROWLEY, La. Jan. 12.-Louis A..
Kloor, father Of Lieutenant kloor,
closed his grocery store yesterday
soon after he received the news
his son was safe at Mattice. He
killed a fatted young pig, which will
be prepared for the feast to welcome
the young officer home. He said:
"It Is what he likes best, and we
want to give him real homefolks'
feast when he gets through with the
necessary formalities and is able to
come to us. The weather Is cold now
and the pig will be about right when
he comes"

Farrell
"I didn't write any" countered
Hinton.
You lie," shouted Farrell. losing
control of himself

thing over" said Hinton.
"I've had enough Of you" said Far
rell leaping from his chair and squar-
ing himself for a punch.
1t was plain that Hinton did not
want a fight, and 1t was equally
plain that his attitude was making
Farrell angrier than ever. AS the
correspondents were leaving some
words passed between the men which
were not overheard. Farrell leaped
forward, struck out with his right
fist and Hinton sprawled helpless
beyond flinging his arms up over his
face.
Hinton struggled to his feet and
quickly departed. Since then Farrell
has carefully avoided his companions
and the only communication between
them has been on official matters.

day gave the New York Central Rail-

the adventure. After he had knocked
Hinton down with a smashing right
to the jaw and had cooled on he
talked with the correspondents.

he. The flight was duly authorized.

RECEPTION FOR FLIERS

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Rock

shadow Of the Arctic Circle, is pre-
pairing for great reception for
them on their return. A general holi-
day will be declared down there:
Secretary Daniels, Governor Mil
Ter, Mayor Hylan, and other officials

American Legion posts, and soldiers
from Fort Tilden will form pro-
cession.
The marchers, with Lieutenants

will salute the three heroes of the
air.
II the men arrive in daylight, sea
planes and blimps will be sent out
from the air station. If they reach
Rockaway at night, the parade VIII

and die together. 1 was the only
one that did not express my feelings,

What Lieutenant Farrell told
newspaper correspondents upon his
arrival at Mattice, after the long
hike back to the railhead:
II was the strongest member of
the crew at all times and was in
good enough condition to have
turned the two boys upside down.
There will be something further said
regarding this later on if the re-
ports in the papers are true"
The report of the New York
American correspondent at Mattice
says.
"The three men mushed through
to civilization at 2:15 o'clock.
Hinton and Kloor came first. They
had been transferred to fresh sleds
with fresh dogs, ten miles up the
bleak trail. Fifteen minutes later
Farrell tramped through on foot.

TRAPPERs WORSHIP FARRELL.
'Kloor wanted to make long flight.
Although l was the senior officer in

party He passed UP earlier opportu-
mites to land. and we kept on going

Kloor was enthusiastic over the speed
we were making. and it is no wonder
we were going fast for we were
travelling in the teeth OF a gale. We
were in the clouds travelling west
when we finally landed on the shore
Of James Bay. The sun was shining
but II was bitter cold and everything
was covered with snow and ice. l

pretty well known by this time
The Canadian trappers, who dearly
love a good scrap, are still talking
about the drubbing that Farrell ad-
ministered to Hinton, and Farrell in
their eyes is the real hero. 1t was

We expected to land the following

All we had was about eight or ten
sandwiches and two thermos bottles
full of hot coffee. We took along
bags for our uniforms and wore our
ordinary flying clothes. None of us
had electrically heated suits with us.
