seeks No Big stakes
Miss Earhart made it plain today
that the only stake she hoped to
win by the flight was the privi-
lege of flying and the pleasure Of
having a hand in u fine adven-
ture."
In a message from Trepassey. N.
f.. to George Palmer Putnam. New
York publisher and one of the
flights hackers, she said:
please get the point across that
the only stakes l win is the privi-
lege of flying and the pleasure of
having a hand in a fine adventure,
whose success will be real for

and perhaps something of an in

To make safe take-off the
Friendship would have to head
eastward out through the narrow
harbor mouth. But with the wind
out Of the west and on their tail
a take-off away from the wind was
considered too hazardous for the
heavily loaded plane.
Takc-Oh DifIlcult
The pontoons which add the
greatest factor Of safety for the
ocean flight. also make take-off
difficult and conditions must be
just right before the big monoplane
can break the suction of the water

The forecast today was for a
continuance of the fresh westerly
gales. but Stultz hoped for none
tary 1ull or wind shift that would
enable him to get the big plane off
the water.
The mystery which surrounded
early preparations for the flight
continued.
The fliers were reticent in dis
cussinE their plans. They said they
had not definitely decided where
they would land; that they are not
seeking publicity; that their flight
Is private venture and that they
do not care to give out information.

HOOVER HAS
GREAT MEMORY

Friends of Herbert Hoover say he
has a remarkable memory aad evil
dence supporting that assertion has
been obtained from other sources
Russell Cobb of Tulsa, OKLA, was
travelling from Chicago to New
York with his family two years ago.
AS the afternoon wore on the Cobb
baby disappeared, having ventufed
down the aisle ON an exploring ex-
pedition. His father went in search,
and found the child. in a. staterOom,.
prattling away in the lap of a large
man who was having "a good time
with the unexpected visitor.
Cobb recognized the man with
start, then stepped forward and in
trOduced himself. 1t was Herbert
Hoover, and he recalled without the
slightest prompting that Cobb had
served in Saratov, Russia, in an ad-
ministratiVe capacity under the Am
erican Relief Administration while
he was directing that vast organiza-
tiOn. What was more, Hoover re-
called that Cobb had married the
baby's mother in Russia.
81 had heard of his astonishing
familiarity with every detail of his
work and with the records of the
several hundred men who had vol
unteered for service under him, but
would never have believed that it
could have been so extensive" said
Cobb, in relating the incident.

here.
The Sunday services were we'll at
tended.
After the Bible school held in the
NJ. E. Church, the sermon was prea-
ched by Rev. c. w. BranfOrd, which
was listened to with interest. The
text was Remove Not the Old Land
Marks" found in the book of Pro-
verbs. He spoke concerning spiritual
things, and referred to the thirtieth
anniversary of the building of the
present Bethel M. E. Church and the
69th anniversary of the first old
Bethel here. He said the north land
mark represented the observance
of the Sabbath Day." The south land
mark "the personality of Jesus
Christ. He was divine because of the
works he did he glorified the Father.
The east land mark is the "exis-
tence of Cod" The proof of God is
man himself. And the west land
mark represents the landmark of
eternal life. Because I live, ye
shall live also" These are the truths
for Bethel Church on it's 30th ami
versary.
The community and the people he
served regret the Rev. Raymond
Bishop, wife and baby daughter lea
wing for another field of service in

having lived here. The Christian
Church people say he was known for
not speaking harm of anyone. The
