 Jefferson county's new officers will take office January 1, 1925. Their terms are for four years.
 The clean sweep of the county by Captain Edmondson of Bessemer was the big surprise of the revenue. board race. He had been picked to win handi- ly, but his warmest supporters had not anticipated he would lead the ticket.
 Reed ran up to expectations through out the county, as did Batson and Lewis. An interesting sidelight on Bat sons victory is that several years ago he. was discharged by the members of the present board of revenue, from his post as county highway engineer. Thomas E. Huey and w. B. Copeland were leaders in the movement to oust him. Now, Batson comes back and runs second on the ticket, while Huey was defeated and Copeland had only a fighting chance for fifth place on the new board.

 Landmarks Missing
 In a flight over the ground, tba oh. server in the rear seat of the plane is provided with a detail map upon which he can check up on landmarks which are designated but when flying for hours over dull grey water such lana. marks do not exist. Flight mans vsiIl De used, however, and as mile after. mile IS covered the man in the rear seat VIII will endeavor to keep pace on his narrow chart fixed on two rollers which slowly unwind before him a miniature reproduction of the terrain over which he is passing.
 One of the greatest hardships on n long flight of this kind is the, deadly monOtony. For hours these. six men will sit cramped in their narrow cock pits exposed to the cutting cold of the upper air. Flyers on long distance flights have been known to fall fast asleep and such a lapse on this triD would be fatal. Following the drastic orders issued by the chief of air sery- ice, General Patrick, the machines will keep in close formation. Headed by the Chicago, the three ships will take the air in a ''V'' shaped formation. tbe Ros- ton, with the New Orleans, being in line about few hundreds feet behind and above the flagship.
 This is the natural formation of wild geese and has been adopted because of its adaptability for military maneuyers Changes in direction or altitude are indi- cated by the leader by means of certain prearrangements of signs. If he "v,ip- gles" his left wing, it will mean that the flight is to turn to the right, an un- dulating motion of the lead shin will mean that the flight is to climb to a higher altitude, while wiggling of the entire plane from side to side may indi- cate that the formation is to break al. though signil will be given only in the case of dire emergency.
 The men who are making this flieht are the pick of the service. They were chosen from among hundreds of volun- teers and they know the dangers and the difficulties they must face. Thev are far more courageous than the old ex- plorers since they are braving the known deliberately while Balboa, Col. umbs and Ponce De Leon had always the stimulus of the new to uphold them.

PACIFIST ACTION ISRECOMMENDED
 TO METHODISTS
Committee Adopts Re frain From War Reso- .
 luti0rs, 76 To 37

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 14.-- Refusal of the Methodist church to take part in WET. will be recommended to the Methodist Episcopal general confer ence by the standing committee on the state of the church, that committee voted today, 76 to 37. An amendment to except wars fought for self-defense or the defense of humanity, Was tabled Nby a vote of 50 to fl.
 ' The resolution condemning war, urged the United States to conduct a peace campaign of education and enter the world court and "an association of nations" It concluded:
 While recognizing the freedom of the individual member to follow his own conscience, but remembering that the church is the visible expression of Christ in the world, we as an organization, separate ourselves from war and take no part in ifs promotion"
 The resolution read as follows:
 Time For Positive Action
 The hour has struck for the church to take positive and practical steps to end war. The peoples of the world are appealing to the church, as the or ganized expression of Christ's way of life to lead the way. Methodism, a world church dedicated to world serv- ice, has extraordinary opportunity and obligation in this crisis.
 Facing this challenge and answer ing this appeal, the Methodist Epis- copal church declares for the right and responsibility of the church to utter moral judgment concerning the nature of war: for the freedom of the in- dividual member of the church to fol- low the dictates of his own conscience i; for the inauguration of an educational campaign which shall seek to reveal to all our peoples the nature, causes and consequences of war and it's relation to the Christian ideal of the Kingdom of God; for the removal of the causes of war, such as selfish nationalism, ece- homie imperialism, and militarism {; and for the establishing and eondify- ing international law, by immediately entering the permanent court of in- ternati0nal justice and by securing the participation of the United States in an effective association of nations.
 Means To An End
 We urge all other Christian bodies to join us in declaring that war vio- lates the spirit end purposes of Jesus. It is a method 10 attain an end. That end may be righteous or sinful, but the method by it's very nature is the same in either case. Whatever may be true concerning the past it is now evident this method is unable to achieve the great moral aims of justice, brother hood and peace.
 "This method roots fundamentally in force and in no sense guarantees that right will prevail. Consequently, while recognizing the freedom Of the individual member to follow his own conscience, but remembering that the church is the visible expression of the spirit of Jesus in the world, we as an organization separate ourselves from
