James Russell Stoner, fi year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Stoner, of Jasonville, is reported improving at the Sullivan hospital today. The
grim Atlantic. Then came a day when “The Spirit of St. Lou;rose from Roosevelt Field and the fair-haired pilot pointed its nose toward the northeast. People of the United States watched and waited with interest the progress of this youthful and intrepid aviator. Night came on, and the dauntless flier and his silver gray plane were lost from -ight. On and on roared “The Spirit of St. Louis,” fighting North Atlantic sleet and treacherous winds. Sometimes the plane was only ten feet above the waves and then the tight lipped occupant of the cabin would send it upward to a heighth of ten thousand feet in the battle with the elements. Another morning, and still no news of the man who had earned the name of “The Lone Eagle.” Noon passed, and then to the waiting world came a flash that a plane had been sighted over the Irish coa-t. The same plane was later believed sighted over the English channel, flying so high its figures and lettering could not he distinguished. Late afternoon; then nightfall, and then to the waiting world came the great news that Lindbergh had arrived! That “The Spirit of St. Louis” had landed at LeBourget Field in Paris, France! The successful airman was Charles A. Lindbergh and his first words when French officials swarmed around him were, “Well, ’We' made it.” Throughout all the demonstrations that followed, abroad and at home, “Lindy” remained the same quiet and modest youth. A non-stop flight from Washington, D. C., to Mexico City resulted in romance for Col. Lindbergh and the daughter of the United States ambassador to Mexico. In the marriage of this sterling American aian and woman, a new “We” combination has been formed. No doubt in the Smithsonian Institute in the national capital, the sturdy little monoplane that was such a great lactor in bringing world wide fame to its pilot, is smiling to itself with the knowledge that its work had been well done and that posterity will benefit by the new "We”.

description of the memorial:
“The base of the monument is twelve feet in diameter, octagonal in shape and consists of three courses i f Putnam county limestone. The pedestal consists of five circular sections of Cincinnati freestone, in segments of two feet each, on which are cut the 321 names of soldiers from this coun-
ty, who fell in service. The statue,! ior. , including the plinth, is II feet, I inch- 1 i>y m tipster,
es, this making the entire heighth of| the monument, 29 feet, I inches. The .
amount paid was $5,000.”
Most of the structure is in splendid] condition, but there was a differenei 6 in the texture of the freestone used | for the tablets of names of the dead, some of these surfaces suffering severely from erosion. A few of the names are near, or are past, the legible status. Some other parts of the monument are not wearing well. It has been suggested that this decay should he arrested, so that it shall not reach an incurable condition It is a work for the patriotic (organization. Forest Hill cemetery now contains 4366 graves, according to the records in the possession of Robt. Browning, custodian. It comprises thirty acres, its original area. Until approximately 1901, the common council paid the salary of the custodian and the laborers, but f/om that year, the cemetery has been self- supporting not costing the tax-payers a cent, and the board now has the splendid cash balance of ten thousand dollars. The hoard members are elected by the common council for terms of six years each, and the present member* are: C. W. Huffman, president; R. M. Abrams, secretary; A. B. Hanna, treasurer; Ed. C. Hamilton, R. J. Gillespie and P. Broadstreet. The board makes an annual financial re-
port to the common council.
