self and hud made parachute drops," E|lls said, "He was making great progress in flying and wanted to drop. "I thought he bad plenty of nerve although be didn't have much to sax and didn't make any boasts. He would get me talking about parachute jumping and would question me on every little point. He was getting all the Information he could. "Pretty soon I learned he was going down to the Twentieth street flying field and dropping all over the place. “He had. it seemed, got all the information he could from me about parachutes and then arranged to learn the business for himself. Soon everyone was talking about the perfect manner in which he handled himself in his 11 drops. It was just natural to him." I Lindbergh tired of Lincoln and finally gave up his air-taxi business there got into his plane and flew back home to Little Falls, Minnesota. It was in Little Falls that he had dreamed of flying during his youth and those who have dreamed in childhood may imagine how the day in 1922 when Charlie Lindbergh came flying his own plane into the old home town, was for him a thrill only surpassed by his arrival in Paris on May 21. The townspeople were immediately curious over this quiet, silent lad and his airship. They gathered at its quickly built hangar to see it and Charlie began doing an air-taxi business at home once more. Not all of the townspeople would take a chance riding with Chai lie Lindbergh but many of them had their first ride through the skies in his old, army biplane. —o PLANS“SHOWER" FOR LINDBERGH Letter Shower For Flyer By Air-Mail Planned By Postmaster General All users of air-mail in the United States are invited to join in the airmail reception to be given ('apt.

MAKES REPORT ON COW TESTING Jersey Cow Owned By Sol Mosser Leads In ButterFat Production In May "Bud” a pure bred Jersey cow belonging to Sol Moser, led the 283 cows In the Adams County Cow Testing Association by producing 76.5 pounds of butter-fat during the month of Muy, according to the report submitted by Roy L. Price, tester, Saturday. "Bud” produced 1,628 pounds of milk testing 4.7 per <ent butter-fat. "Maxine", pure bred Holstein owned by David J. Mazelin. tan a close second with 74.2 pounds butter-fat, while "Spot", a grade Holstein owned by Martin F. Sprunger, was third with 73.8 pounds. Seven other cows in the association placed among the high ten, by producing more than sixty pounds butter-fat during the month. Six pure bred Holsteins owned by David J. Mazelin led the 27 oth?r herds in the association with an average of 57.7 pounds fat. Noah Rich's herd of eleven Holsteins was second with 61.4 pounds fat. Other high herds were as follows: A. Z. Smith, 11 Holsteins 43.3; Peter D. Schwartz, 7 pure bred Hol- . steins 39 5; ('. ('. Putman, eight grade Guernseys 39.2; The 283 cows in the association which included all those in milk and those dry averaged 31.2 pounds fat. This is equivalent to one pound butter-fat each day which is considered noteworthy in view of the large number of cows involved. Association members are still "after the boarders". During the month, five unprofitable cows were sold to the butcher. The progressiveness of the members is indicated by the fact that several of them have white-washed their stables during the month of May .thereby providing more light as well as improving sanitary conditions. Price, also, reports that one member built a milk house in order that he might better care for his milk, while anither purchased manger partitions in order to assure each cow receiving the feed given her.
