Aviation can no longer be said to
be a young mail's game, for a grand
father in his 86th -yealf flew high
above Omaha last Sunday.
Alfred V. Head of Stewarts ville.
Mo., is an old man with young ideas,
, and when his son, Walter W. Head,
president of the Omaha National
bank, announced he was going to
make I flight from Ak-Sar-Ben field,
and leave the family down below in
f the car, a protest went up. '
. ' "I can fly just as high as you,"
Vsaid Mr, Head, sr., as he picked up
a leather helmet and with an air of
areat determination - prepared him
self to go along. He was almost of
fended that lie should have been left
out of the plan.
He was a union soldier in the
cival war and the tires of his youth
Still burn brightly.
"Mighty Fine Breeze."
As he is in unusually good physi
cal condition for a man of his age,
he, had his way, and piloted by A.'B.
Green Of the Blue Star air line,
father and, son were soon sailing
4,000 feet above the city.
As they lifted from the field the
elder Mr. Head was leaning back
comfortably, determined to enjoy
every minute. Somewhere about a
mile above his grandchildren he
turned to his son and said: "Mighty
fine breeze up here!" They were
. then moving at a speed nean a .100
miles art hour, 'and the wind as stiff
s enough to blow his whiskers off if
he had not been close shaven.
InvAir Half an Hour.
The airplane made the circuit
down the rivet to Childs Point, and
then hack over Omaha. The pilot
slowed down the engine as they flew
over the Omaha National bank, and
Mr. Head had his first good view of
the-citysmcet;J87i, That was the
last timt) he. visited here.
As the .lengiite started . again and
thqy were on . their way' back to the
landing field the ': old soldier de

Mr. Head are unusually good for his.

Germany has taken the -position
that it is neutral In the Russo-Polibh

thafGermanys attitude constitutes

from 1913 to 19-0. ihey dia not
show the tax charged fo the coun
ties in 1912 the year previous to
Governor Morehead's administration.
There was possibly a reason for
this.
"The taxes charged to the counties
in 1912 was $2,409,533, and in 1913,
the first year under Governor More
head, the amount increased to $3,
671,385, or an increase the -first year
under Governor Morehead of 52 per.
cent. This was at a time when there
was no increase in the price of
commodities or wages and when no
new activities were being undertaken
by the stattC
"The increase for the first year
of GoveSnor McKelvie's administra
tion over the previous year, elim
inating the additional taxes for State
aid road and capitol building, was
only 9 per cent.
"The records do not show that
Mr. Morehead. when he was elected
governoi, did much during the first
year to reduce taxes, as the amount
of state taxes charged to all coun
ties fin the stateincreased, as above
stated, 52 per c&nt. The., increase .of
only 9 per cent for Governor Mc
