In signed statement in the Blythe
vile, Ark, paper May 3, one of his
wet advocates declared that if Smith
should be elected president there
would be mo such foolishness as APP
propriating public money to enforce
prohibition. No one in New York
ever heard of Blytheville, perhaps;
but no one in New York could express
the case in better language.
We believe that Al Smith, the
friend of the saloon, by his own pub
lie acts against law enforcement, has
untitled himself to stand as a candi-
date for the presidency.

1t is said that Frank A. Day, the
we'll known Fairmont editor and
member of the state senate, who a
friend calls "as sleek sheik as ever
creased his hair" has put stop to
the use of tobacco among the Martin
county fair sex by making public
announcement that hereafter he will
not kiss any woman who smokes
cigarettes. Dad Atkinson of the Hib-
bling News, tunes in and says, We're
almost as old as Frank but we're not
nearly as particular" The Sank
Centre Herald wonders if Frank is
as particular as he would have one
believe and adds, "he may be sort of
whistlin' to keep up his courage"

column in the Mile Laos County

upholds military training and pre-

about the only peaceful people in

25,O0O CHEER LINDY
 VISITING CLEVELAND
Flames Threaten Departure for Pittsburgh When Oil Pump
 Ignites.

Cleveland, O.. Aug. 3 (UP)- While 25,000 persons cheered a farewell, Colonel Charles A. Lind bergh took off in his Spirit of St. Louis at 10:31 a. m. today for Pittsburgh after being a Cleveland visitor for two days.
 AS early as o'clock this morn ing there were more than 5000 au- tomobiles at Brooks Park airport, while all night long an endless pro- cession had passed through the hangar where the transatlantic plane stood.
 Lindbergh circled the field for five minutes and then headed toward the shore of Lake Erie, apparently to get his bearings and then was lost in the haze.
 His flight was threatened at the last minute when the oil pump near the motor caught fire. The, fire spread to a pool of gasoline in the floor of the cockpit, but was extin- guished without damage to the plane.
