Arthur Porter, excavation carpenters s
Mate, End Glass, of the T.. S. navy,
flew from San Diego, California, to his
home here when he was discharged
from the naval service.
Porter enlisted three years ago AT
New Orleans, Louisiana, with the in

aviation service. He was sent to the
Great Lakes Training station to under
go first the regular period of military
training, after which he was given a
course at the aviation school. Porter,
however, once he got into the aviation
game, wanted to be more than a me-
chanic he wanted to fly for himself
and before long he was up in the air
doing all the stunts that other aviators
do. His ability to fly was soon evident
After he had learned to fly Porter
was still unsatisfied He wanted to
have an airplane of his own. 1t hap
pened that at this time the navy put
some old-time planes on sale, and
Porter had been seadog enough to salt
away a good chunk of his pay.
The plane he bought was not nc
chanically perfect and needed over
hauling. This is where his training as
an aviation mechanic helped He re-
paired the plane himself before he
started on his successful flight

GANCES RIVER DOES
DAMAGE BY FLOODS

CAWNPORE, India, Nov. 9.-The
great rise of the Ganges river, which
has broken all records of the past
thirty wears, has led to the flooding
of vast districts on the Unao side.
Many villages on both sides Oh tHe
railway line to Unao are under water
and hundreds of hamlets have been
washed away.
The floods are on the decline noW'
but the rains continue intermittentiy'
making the lot of those rendered
homeless still harder People whose
houses have been washed away have
taken shelted in neighboring villages
and some have been accommodated IN
railway cars. Virtually all the cilla&cs
/ situated along the banks of the Ram
ganga river have been inundated.
| Houses and cattle have been washed
away. and standing chrops ruined.
In some places the rise of the river
was so sudden that people who were
in the fields tending their cattle OF

PEELED to take refuge in trees until the
floods subsided.t Others were rescued
by relief parties. Planks were tiet

School Money Held Up.

Although the annual distribution of
county school funds to many of the
districts was made several weeks ago,
District o, Saratoga, has to date re-
ceived no funds from the county. and
after waiting patiently for several
weeks, meanwhile paying interest at a
local bank on several thousand dollars
of money borrowed for the purpose of
paying salaries and other school ex-
pense, an investigation as to the cause
of the delay discovers the fact that the
bond of the treasurer of District 0 has
been lost by the county officials. and
1t was decided that no money could be
sent to this district until II new bond
had been furnished. The local board
received no notice of this decision. how
ever, and has just discovered the cause
of the delay in the remittance of school
funds. \ new bond is now being pre-.
pared and it is hoped the funds will be
available within Il short time.

animation of the records of the late S.
Park, former county treasurer.
These gentlemen thoroughly checked
the office of county treasurer and on
Monday last they submitted a report to
the board of county commissioners,
stating that their examination showed
that the affairs of the county treasur-
er's Office We're absolutely correct.
Mr.. Dickinson and Mr.. Grier were
outspoken in stating that the records
of the county treasurer in this county
were the best of any in the state and
they gave unstinted praise to the for
mer treasurer and to the deputy, Mrs,
Laura Heath.
Following the report of the state OK.
aminers, Mrs. Laura Heath assumed
full charge of the Office as county
treasurer.

Coal Miners Pre-
pairing to Strike
General Suspension VIII Take Place on
April LIST. According to Announce
ment of Union Officials.

Suspension of operations at all but
"a few Of the coal properties in the
United States, Alberta and British
Columbia, ms n result Of n miners
strike which it is expected will extend
oyer a period of several months from
April first, is the prediction of Miners
Union officials and coal mine opera
tors, following several conferences held
during the past few weeks. 1t is said
that several large coal mines in Colo.
RADIO and Utah will continue to operate
ON the ''0pen shop basis, and a few
camps in West Virginia win not close.
but coal production will cease mt all
other places.
1t is expected hat both the Hnnna
and Rock Springs mines of the Union
Pacific will he closed indefinitely, II
reports have it that the Company has
sufficient coal in storage at various
points to supply its needs for approxi-
mately two months, but should the ad-
justment of labor difficulties require n
longer period than that, the result is
extremely problematical. The majority
of industrial plants over the country
have also anticipated the strike by
laying in n supply sufficient for two to
three months, hut ~householders rs
II rule have not taken the strike
threat seriously and much suffering
will likely result, especially in the
larger cities.
There is now nothing in sight that
seems capable of preventing "A walk
out of h miners" said n prominent
mine operator this week. Things have
been shaping themselves to this end all
winter and it appears certain that the
strike will be called as anticipated. 1t
is not probable that a settlement can
be reached before August or Septem-
Der, and it may be delayed even long
er than that"

given us during II travels through

growing fewer and fewer, but we ex-
pect to continue to function as long as
we are needed.

that we are able to help bring back

themselves able to liquidate their debts
and to do more buying. This, natural

for supervision, regulation, and control
