"I have not studied the project," lie said last night, 'and tlic route depends on flyliip concisions. M'liethrr or not any stop.s will he made en route also must be decided later." He believes now, however, that his course will not take him over the Gulf of Mexico. The land route is only about 300 miles longer and the Gulf's dangers in event of a forced Airbont and Its Motor Use of the transatlantic ''Spirit of St. Louis" also is contingent upon linal inspection finding its motor in satisfactory condition. The engine never has been overhauled, he said, although it 'still is functioning perfectly.

Dec, chiefly to wide awake activities of members of th local American Legion, O. W. O'Brien, who clalnvj Clinton, loWfl, hs his -home, was granted a 30 day rest, In the eouitly jail at Oregon on Thursday of lusl week by Judge, Kick. It seems O'Brien arrived In Mount Morris from Leaf River ear Her in tho week in conventional garb to collaret funds for the. Volunteer Kcscuo of America, claiming ho wns a.

disabled AVorlil AVar veteran sent by tlie govern ment for such work. Business was good and In two- or three days time he had collected something like 535 from 'tlio 'merchants and school teachers at a dollar a throw. lie nervily invided tho high school and talked all the teacher's into donating a dollar each for "the great work." Things were going fine 'until candy salesman from Clinton happened along Wednesday and spread tlio news that lie was about SO percent bogus, meaning that perhaps 50 per cent of what was collected went to the. cause which he represented. A.

number of the Legion hoys immediately go.t busy and called Sheriff Good and; by the time he arrived In Mount Morris, had been corraled in the Citizen's State by Attorney John Thompson. Uar- olcl and AVu.Hor AVaddelow. In thn consequent cross examination, O'Brien was considerably mixed up in his answers, so much so in Iiis answers, so much so in fact that he was taken along to Oregon where a charge of unlawfully collecting funds was placed against him. Monday ho pled guilty to tlio charge and was given tho light son- I tence of thirty days after ho had paid back all the money he collected here. Upon tho expiration of his term he has promised to leave Ogle country "from then on." A pleasing personality and a ready tongue made his job comparatively an easy one and he showed a long list of victims along his route through AA'iseonsin and various northern Illinois towns.

That this was not his first encounter with the law was evidenced by the coolness with which he viewed proceeding after being apprehended.

Khvanis Club Election A large turnout of Kiwaniians at ICable Inn Friday evening voted unanimously to keep Prof. Ira R. Hcn- drickson as their president for tho coming year. So successful has been the club in its various endeavors during tho past twelve months under his guidance that no attempt was made to secure a successor, although ho accepted the post, which requires a large amount of, work, only after considerable hesitancy. Pres.

Henclrickson worked long and strenuously along with village officials to obtain the pavement which embraces the college scluare. This securing of additonal pavement was the club's majpr object for Its sucess. In many other minor projects ho has also proven most capable as a leader of this body of representative business men. Fred Frederlckson, another conscientious and efficient worker, was reelected to tlio treasureship job. Fred is a real Iviwanis booster and his efforts have been justly recognized.

I had'got through the German lines after 35 others had failed, an'd given the rest of the army the position of the battalion. The army had made a flank attack on the Germans and finally saved 180 of the original 750 men in the battalion. I received the Distinguished Service Cross. AVhen I got back to Mew York, a convalescent after a gas attack, Governor Smith gave me the Conspicuous Service Cross of New York State. I WHS honored many timesxand invited.to numerous ceremonies and parties.

There were so many of them that I can't remember them all. A Farmer in Palestine Then XatUnii Straus offered to send me to'; Palestine. I made arrangements to get a 40-acro farm there under a scheipe, which gave me 40 years to pay, dnd left for Palestine. There I took up farming. 'It was dairy and general farming.

I had some cows grew wheat and barley. In Palestine' I got married. After a while I found I was farming at a loss. Palestine is not 'a good for general farming. For oranges it is all right.

But for wheat and barley, no. There is not enough water. AVhen it doesn't rain the crops die because they haven't 'any system of Irrigation. They depend on nature too much and nature often fools them. Too Much Footwork The system of dividing the land in Palestine is not good, either.

The people live in colonies and go out to their different pieces of land. To give some people land near the colonies would be unfair to the others.
