Major Lawrence S. Churchill, COM
mander of Souther Field, who an
nounced several days ago that he had
been transferred to Washington for
temporary duty" will enter the
Walter Reed General Army Hospital
there "for observation and treat
ment" This information was con
tanned in a copy of the order Of trans
fer received by the TlmesRecorder
today from Washington. Major
Churchill was reticent to discuss his
reason for entering the hospital,
saying:
ITS just a little trouble I de-
veloped in France, really nothing
much"
1t is understood Major Churchill
has been suffering from stomach
trouble as a result of sis strenuous
service in the aviation corps i'll
France, and asked for relief from
active duty to enter the hospital for
treatment to restore his normal
health. He stated today that he ex-
pected to leave in two or three days
Mrs. Churchill will accompany him.

WILSON STRIVES TO
HIS REGAIN HEALTH

WASHINGTON, May 25-For-
mer President Woodrow Wilson is
keeping his own counsel these days.
1t is doubtful whether there is any
one outside his immediate family
circle who knows what the former
president thinks about the develop
ment of world affairs. 1t would not
be surprising if even his immediate
family doesn't know.
Since the Wilson drove from the
capitol to their new lhome in S.
street on the day President Harding
was inaugurated, they have lived
about the most secluded life possible.
On occasion they attend the thea
ter as quietly and inconspicuously
as it can be done, usually occupying
seats in the rear of the house near
the entrance. This is to make the
walk from the motor as short as pos
sible. The former president is still
quite lame and while. his genera!
health is said to be improving, slow
ly but surely from week to week, it
is not likely that he ever will be en-
tirely relieved from the handicap of
lameneSs.
Every detail of Wilson's life is ar
ranged with the single idea of build
ing up his health and strength. Mrs.
Wilson devotes herself unremittingly
to the labor of love which managing
the household with this end in view
involves.
The former president receives

man OF Equalizers

The tax rate in Sumter county will
have to be raised by the commission

to get along with less money.
That was The conclusion drawn
from statements made Wednesday by
members of the county board of

work of equalizing the tax returns for

members of the board 1t was ascer-
tanned that fulIy 80 per cent of the
property owners of the couty have
made returns at figures below last
years Valuations, which had been
pretty generally raised by the board.
In some INSTANCES the reductions are
as much as 509per cent. In others
the cuts are much smaller. The
board has begun with returns in the
Fifteenth district, and will proceed
completing each district separately.

Chairman Frank A. Wilson, of the
board, "that values of realty in the
returns have been maintained better
than the values of personal proper

farm belongings. However, it is APP
parent that there will be a consider
able slump in the total valuation for
the county when the consolidation
is completed Just what this will be
we connot yet tell, because we have
only begun our work. We are hand
ling each return separately, endeav-
oring to give fair and proper val
uation to each. In this we are using
last years valuations as a guide, but
not as a criterion"
The valuations for 1920 totalled
