Surely there is stunt' way that this litigation can be disposed of and those Interes'ed as well as the tax payers in general should benefit. The G. O.

They ooutlnue to place the campaign of 1914 ahead f every thing else, including the winning of the war.

Congress thought otherwise it seems. O—O According to the president of the National Educational Association, teachers of America have donated more than fifty million hours to war service in the past eighteen months.

Great armies are located and ready for orders to march forward. Vast fleets and thousands of planes are set for the advance. In *.he meantime our bombers and fighters are softening up the enemy with round-the-clock attacks. At any time now may come the news that the march to Rime and Berlin has started. In the meantime the going is being made tougher for the Japs, also on he defensive as we move in to conclude the war activities. And It can't come too soon to please the average person.

English Lady Aids Flying Fort Pilot Pilot Forced To Land In Channel A Flying Fortress Base. Some* where in England. June 23.—(UP) -A little old lady with a glass of rum saved the day for the pilot of the flying fort "Quinine—the bitter dose.” Pilot George V. Stallings had swallowd many a bitter bill on the bombing raid over Germany. His ship was badly crippled, one member of htac crew was dead and another badly injured. He gave the order to ball out — but the men found the bomb bay doors Jammed. As they neared the British coast, the door came unstuc k and all but Stallings and the dead crew man piled out. Then Stallings headed the "Quinine” for the open sea. He bade his pal and the ship goodbye and Jumped—a mile from the British shore. With steady strokes he made It to land. There on the beach waiting for him was a little old lady with a glass of rum in her hand. As she helped the exhausted boy to his feet she said: "Drink this.

You had the cottage on her people's place in Connecticut" Mary said, "I went to school with her mother’s sister, knew the whole family very well.
