HOOCH MAKES HIM FEET,
 LIKE A TRAFFIC COP

he brought it here under his belt No ambitious young man in his normal senses wants Co be c traffic cop. That Onesime became imbued with that idea is evidence of the potency Of the liquor he imbihed
 In honor of the grand metamor- phosis that took place la the spirit of the youth. Onesime got out the old revolver and fired 1t of. Then he buried it. Just why the interment of the weapon took place Onesime. nor no one else knows. But fl did tal 2 place and then the North Grosvenor- dale lad started for our little city. He arrived just over the city line on the north end of Mechanics street How he got there he doesn't know. Once inside the city that boasts regular uniformed police force onesime volun- tarially joined the traffic department.
 Examines Credentials
 Under the influence of the imita- tion liquor Onesne stood out in the center Of the city highway and waved his arms. Several drivers of motor ehicles stopped their vehicles Among them was bus of the Acme line. The volunteer officer examined their credentials and allowed them to de part.
 Along came John Horl,inson of West Thompson. He applied his brakes and brought his car to stop on signal from 0nesime who demanded his operators license and received 1t.
 Where do you live?" inquired One sine.
 Tt told you on the license" said the driver as he threw in the clutch and started on his way
 Onesime jumped on the running board of the car and again demanded to know where the operator lived. To get rid of the ofiicious official the man said West Thompson
 Then go there" said 0nesime. as he jumped from the car to the high way to be ready for the next vehicle.
 Relieved of Duty
 In the meantime the police were notified that an unknown official was officiating on the Mechanicsville road and went to investigate. Onesime was immediately relieved from further duty and taken to police headquarters where all tired cops go for a rest. It was Friday evening before Onesime showed signs of re- turning to uormality and realized that he was not in the police station because he was an accredited mem Der of the force.
 Saturday morning Onesine was ar raigned in the little court across the river He was charged with imper- sonating an inspector of motor vehi- eies and with iutoxication. lie pleaded guilty to being intoxicated and not guilty to impersonation. He was or dered te pay costs of S12 and put in charge of the probation officer on the intoxication charge As t seemed clear that Onesime did not know whether he was impersonating or be- ing impersenated at the time he was on active duty he was found not guilty on the more serious charge

which have been foreclosed.
The project includes an agency

scribe it and advertise it. An i'm

The agency also would arrange finan-

land would be taken over on terms
which now could not be made by

GIVES
APPROVAL TO
BOY. AYIAT0RS'
Agrees That Proposed Or

Aviation in u. S.

Approvalsof suggestion by Edwin
p. Thayer, secretary of the United
States senate, that American boys be
! banded together in an organization
to be known as the Boy Aviators of
I, America, was voiced today by Gov
,, ernor A. G. Sorlie.
In letter to Governor Sorlie,
Thayer suggested that young mem
bers of the Boy Aviators would be
given ground instruction in aviation
and after three years would graduate
to the ranks Of the junior air re-
serve of the United States. At this
stage they would be; permitted to
enter practical training with planes.
! Thayer suggested that Colonel
, Charles Lindbergh be made either
active or honorary president of the
organization which would be similar,
in many respects, to the Boy Scouts.
Governor Sorlie. who is an ardent
aviation enthusiast, said he agrees
with Thayer that such program
would place the United States in the
forefront in both military and COM
mercial aviation. Formation Of the
Boy Aviators, he said, might result
in placing America on wings an the
same manner that the automobile has

ernment to test the value Of planes

Mexico City. June 27.-(F,-
"Rome and Wall street" are held by
General Obregon, who has announced
his candidacy for president, to be the
headquarters of the enemies of athe
Mexican government. He makes the
charge in statement outlining his
platform on the various questions,
both internal and external, with
which the couRtry must deal.
General Obregon, emphasizing the
distinction between which he referred
to as honest American capital and
the capital Of Wall street, which he
said sought "to promote crises and
conflicts in and with Mexico,
pledged himself to facilitate invest
'ments in Mexico by all honest Amer
lean capital willing to help in de-
veloping the country. He warned.
however. that he would not counten-
ance investments by "imperialistic
Wall street capital"
AS for the religious question, OBJ
servers see clear indication that II
General Obregon comes into power
he will not deviate from the stand Of
President Gales. 1t is c0ntended by
these observers that Obregon's de-
mand that the clergy absolutely re-
spect the regulations of the Mexican
government is no different from the
demand Of Gales.
While the statement makes no
specific reference to the petroleum
and land laws, it is generally be-
lieved that, in announcing he would
defend the countrys sovereignty and
right to enact its own legislation
within the limits of international
law, General Obregon had them in

Mr.. Churchill has owned land in

hundreds of farmers in our section
Of Iowa who have from $1,000 to
$4,000 in money. and their equip

Custer of So Republican Officials
Mdu Mean Death for Kentucky Derby

Louisville, KY, June 27.-( NEA)-
When the Kentucky court of appeals
knocked SO Republican officials out
of their jobs in Louisville the other
day it unintentionally and unwilling
ly sent cold chill playing up and
down the spines Of all kentuckians
who love horse racing.
The famous Kentucky Derby is in
danger. Across the hith erto cloud
less sky of the Kentucky racing
world is moving small cloud, just
now Of the traditional bigness Of a
mans hand, but packed with winds
that may blow the coun.rys most
historic race into the limbo of the
things that were.
The situation is extremely involved
but none the less menacing to the
race lovers. Probably it could have
arisen nowhere but in Kentucky,
where both horse racing and politics
are practiced with deep subtlety
! and passionate fervor unknown in
other regions.
Ousted 5S From Office
Not long ago the court of appeals
swept Louisville and jefferson coun-
ty clear of 50 public servants-men
who had been elected to city and
county offices on the Republican
ticket in the fall of 1925. The court
found that grave irregularities had
marked that election; dead men had
cast ballots, live men had voted more
than the allotted once, unlawful reg
istrants had been admitted to the
| courthouse through back doors so
that they might vote in peace,
negroes had been given preference in
+, the polling lines, and corruption had
been rampant generally.
Accordingly, the court declared
! this election mo contest" And
upon Governor William J. Fields, a
! Democrat, devolves the duty Of ap-
pointing men to fill the places of
those public servants whose places
the court has vacated.
May Split Party
The maze Of politics is dark and
tangled: otherwise all Of this would
not affect the Kentucky Derby. Here
are the wheels within wheels that
!, bring the Derby into unwilling liason
with the Louisville election:
Joseph T. O'Neal headed the Dem
ocratic city ticket in 1925. The Dem
ocratie city and county executive
| committee is insisting that Governor
/ Nv" oPPVAuG ~
O'Neal is strong anti-racing man
He is former Y. NJ. c. A. secretary
served with the A. f. F. in that ca
pacity and looks on the Kentucky
Derby with hostile eye.
Governor Fields himself plans to
run for the U. S. Senate. He has in.
dicated that he will support Robert
T. Grove for the Democratic nom
ination for governor. on a pro-racinp
platform. Grove will be opposed BY
J. G. Beckham, strong anti-racine
| candidate.
Should Fields appoint the anti
racing ONcal mayor Of Louisville
and then support the pro-racins
Grove for governor. the Democratic
/ party would be torn pitiably. AL
most anything might happen in the
election = and Kentucky's "reforn
element" which has been snipinl
away at the Derby for years, Nigh,
find itself able to abolish all racing
| in the state.
! Tangled Politics
Thus far the anti-racing element
has been unable to accomplish much
