ARE TO the effect men and women
are leaving their party fold to sup
port our presidential ticket because
of their appreciation of the sincerity
and honesty of the Coolidge admins
tration. Some of them also have
admitted a slight dissatisfaction with
their own party leadership. In GER
tain cases they have announced their
intention also OF voting for certain
local Republican candidates. but this
is not general. Underneath all is
the confidence in the president and
his Judgment
Despite another day or intense
heat Mr.. Coolidge was at his office
desk throughout the morning.
Tentative plans have been made
by the president to leave here on
his vacation to Plymouth, Vt, next

Knew Hazards of Trip
They are the proudest mothers in

They are the proudest mothers in
America!
And well they may be.
The whole country-and for that
matter other countries, too-are
singing the praises of their boys.
For their sons are adding a new
chapter to history.
Their boys are circling the globe,
through the air, for Uncle Sam.
And now they are coming home.
Fully aware of the dangers their
sons would encounter, these mothers,
like the SPARTAN mothers of old,
sent their boys away last March
with smiles on their lips.
But let these women speak for
themselves;
II wouldn't have stopped Lowell
from flying around the world for
anything" says Mrs. Jasper G..
Smith, of Los Angeles, mother of
Lieutenant Lowell Smith, who re-
ceWed command of the flight after
Major Frederick Martin crashed into
an Alaskan mountain.
Took Her 100 Miles an Hour
HE took me 100 miles an hour, so
I could see what it was like. And,
oh. it was the most inspiring feel
ing, Now [ understand why Lowell
has been so absorbed by flying since
the war
Lowell was an instructor at Kelly
field-so good they kept him there
when others were going to France.
But he finally got overseas. Just
after he wrote that he was selected
to head a division flying into Ger
many, the armistice was signed"

John always has come to me first"
she declares.

would stand in his way. And I've

fore the war, when he was prepar-
ing for an engineering course at
Vanderbilt university in Nashville,
Tenn, he had the smoothest, softest
skin, the reddest cheeks. Now his
face is tanned, and as he wrote me
the other day, were husky like lum-
berjacks"
Expected Hard Trip
"But he's still the handsomest boy
7 ever saw. Here's a photograph of
him with his officers cap on. People
often mistake it for picture Of the
Prince of Wales.
HE expected the trip to be hard.
Before they took off in March, he
said, IF anyone thinks this thing is
going to be fun, they're crazy,
1T isn't Johns first long flight.
He flew around the rim of the arc
tic in 1919"
In Spokane, Mrs. Cora L. Arnold
Leslie p Arnold, another one of the
pilots.
I'm not at all worried about Les
lie" she says. I'm all the time he
has been flying, he has had only one
accident. And that wasn't serious.
THAT was in Memphis, when he
was forced to make a landing on top
of a henhouse. But he escaped with
out a scratch.
Leslie was an instructor in the
air service both in this country and
in France during the war. He is a
Princeton graduate. Before going
into the aviation service he was a
craftsman in the submarine d.vi-
sion"

MOULTRIE, Ga, Aug. Al
though it was struck by lightning
during a thunderstorm, two-weeks-

poured from the calf's back, the
hide having been split for about ten
inches. The wound looked as if it
had heen made with a knife.

Abandon Plans to Hold Election

/ District No. 4, Friday evening. IL
was learned that, contrary to the
first opinion of the board. an cleo
ton for the purpose OF making the
school levy in conformity with the
new law regarding it, will rot be
necessary, inasmuch as the revenue
that can be raised with the maximum
levy that be made by the board will
be sufficient.
The report of the finance commit
tee. w. A. Shear and w. ID. Gillls.
which made this decision possible.
was greatly welcomed by the board
and will be received with satisfaction
by the taxpayers of the district.
AS was explained in an article in
this paper last week, school boards
in certain classes OF districts may
levy up to mills for the general
fund, but If greater levy is neces-
sary for this purpose it must have
the sanction of the voters. Levies
for Indebtedness and transportation
can be made in addition to this
amount without calling an election.
Last year the levy for Independent
School District No. was IA mills
In the rural high school district the
levy was mills. making the total
for the community's schools 20 mills.
while Twin Falls levied 22 mills and
Kimberly and Bull levied 23 mills

immune. 1t was safe to lift the ban
