DEATH IS HELD AT BAY
YOUNG TEXANS THRILLING ExPE- RIENCE ON AEROPLANE.
As Machine Dfved. to the Rixht, Pale Faced Youth Jumped to the Left to Maintain His
 EQuiiibriu

New York. oct.s 2s.--In the North River. of North Street yesterday after noon 25.ooo New. Workers saw one of the most thrilling spectacles in the his- tory of balloonipg.
 From the open roadway leading to the dock. after half dozen Iudicrous failures. rickety, creaking, fragile aeroplsne shot into the air as If propell- ed from the muzzle of cannon. In the center. enmeshed in plano wire, girders and guys and work of frail bamboo poles, clung the aeronaut, c. K. Hamilton, a young Texan, with hands and legs outstretched like a giant monkey. Man and machine went up, propelled by nothing but drawn with a rope attached the stern pitts of tug boat, which. far out in the river. was heading down stream as fast as It's kicking screw could send 1t.
 The throng ashore held It's breath. The aeroplane sheered and rocked like boys kite In gale. One hundred. two. three hundred feet 1t scared. creaking and cracking. No spiders in broken web ever strove more desper- ately to hold for a few minutes of life dived to the right the pale-faced lad in the meshes of the aeroplane jumped to the left and vice versa.
 Not an instant from the time 1t darted upward from the ground until 1t began slowly to settle into the waters of the river did the frantic battle for equli- brium and life in the aeroplane cease. Voices that had cheered the daring aeronaut at the first dart Into the air were stilled. Dozens of women turned from the sight as Hamilton weaved in and out of his cage with the agility of frightened monkey.
 When the aeroplane had reached a point estimated at $50 feet, a ferry boat got In the course of the tug and compelled that craft to veer up stream. That left the cranky thing in the air without propelling power and 1t gradually settled, As the rope became slack 1t fell slowly with a bird-like twining motion from left to right Into tbe river, Launches. sailing boats, tugs. row boats and yachts made for the aeroplane and rescued the Texan.
 q got away with it." were his first words. but I'll never know just how did it." It was the most exciting experience have had in five years of bailooning, and I want no more of it."

POLITICS OF THE TRIP
ROOSEVELT WILL. WIN VOTES IN . SOUTH.
Representative Spencer Hlnckmnn CT r North Carolina Makes Known Ills q. Ideas Regarding the Pres
 ident's Jaunt

Washington, Oct. 2s.-(speciai) )--- President Roosevelt's Southern whiri is going to turn his railroad trick with Southern votes in Congress is the view of Congressman Spencer Blackburn. leader of North Carolina Republicans.
 Said Mir. Blackburn today f... President Roosevelt has made great inroads on the Democratic party In the South and many are enthusiastically for him. They used to say: If you want to vote for Roosevelt. go black your face.' How they declare that he has taken up JefYersonian doctrines and that he looks at things from their stand point. That enables them to approve of his policies without reading them selves out of their party.
 '1f the President wants as much Dem ocratic support in other State as he did in North Carolina he will be able to turn 1t a better account chan If he had stayed 1t home for an extra session of Congress. The selhshness of Republi- can once holders has blocked party success in North Carolina, but now that Rooseve eit's visit has split the Demo cratic cIrcsition there will be a new alignment"

SIMPSONS CHARACTER UNIQUE.
One of the Picturesque Figures in ths
 History of Congress.

One of the PtetuResQue Figures fA the
 History of Conwress.
 Washington, Oct 23.-"The Sage of Medicine Lodge" as Jerry Simpson was called. was In many respects one of the most unique characters adorning the history of Congress.
 He was swept into the Fifty second Congress by a wave of Kansas Popu- Iism. charged with the task of reform ing the whole Government. and living down the only information his col wore no socks. The latter task he succeeded in accomplishing. in fact, although he never quite lost the title, 'Sockless Jerry"
 His legislative accomplishment con- sisted in turning popular Eastern sen timent regarding Populism from scorn- ing ridicule to respectful consideration during his service of six years in Con- gress, when he was swept out by an- other Kansas wave.
 There was not a question of Con- gressional action during that time on which Jerry Simpson did not think and on which his conclusions were not strikingiy and entirely different from those of anyone else. His language and manner of speech were quaint in the highest degree. Jerry Simpson al- ways tried to make his adversaries look ridiculous. always threw new light on every subject. made a personal friend of every member of the House, and his political opponents declared he never changed a vote on any ques- tion of legislation. As an entertainer and as a personality, the House came to have the warmest regard for him.

SPEAKS IN MONTGOMERY.
Great Crowd Saw President Fass
 Through to Mobile.


 More than 1000 people were at the union railway station yesterday morn ing when the palatial special train bearing President Roosevelt and his party reached Montgomery en route to Mobile.
 The President was in Montgomery twenty-six minutes only. but in that time he swung onto his standard of "doing things" In twenty-six min utes he made a speech in response to cheers of welcome, received Judge Thomas c. Jones of the United States Court and Chairman J. B. Gaston of the Montgomery Reception Committed. in his car. and manifested a live inter est in the handling of his train by the railroad men.
 The Atlantic Coast Line train bear ing President Roosevelt to Montgom- cry from Jacksonville reached here seven minutes ahead of its schedule time, or 1l:02 a m. The engine with Engineer Tombstone at the throttle, looked as new and bright as If it had just been brought from the Atlantic Coast Line shops in West Montgomery instead of finishing a run of 255 miles
 One of the first men to alight from the special train with Conductor Bal lard was l.. s. Brown. General Agent of the Southern Railway at Washing ton. who Is personally conducting the
 
 South. Then followed Master Mechan- ic McGhee of the Coast Line shops, Su- perintendent Beauprie. Master of Trains Bennett. Travelling Engineer J. H. Ambrose of Savannah. Fletcher Black, the telegraph operator of Do- than, who had come with the train from Valdosta, and Chief Car Inspector J. F. billiard. When they climbed down out of the special train the re- sponsibility of the Coast Line officials was over.
 Sees Montgomery Men. While the great crowd outside was fairly screaming Roosevelt, Roose- welt" and Teddy" Teddy" Judge Jones and Judge Gaston elbowed their way through the crowd. Sloan and Tyree-they are secret service men had been apprised of the visit of the distinguished Montgomerians and they were soon ushered into the presence of the President who received them hear tiIy. He was fairly bubbling over with joy.
 Meanwhile the crowd had become so persistent outside that the President ! showed himself on the rear platform of 1 his car.
 AtiIt on his toes on the rear plat | form President Roosevelt spoke briefly to the mass of over 1000 spectators (COntimued on Page F0urteen.)

Productlrenes Of Missouri Soils.

Colsm0ia, Mo Dec. 25' 1919
The productiveness of the soil OF
any state is shown by the average
crop yields for a series of years, rather
than by the total output Of the state.
That the soil in Missouri is more pro
ductiye than most of the other great
crop growing states Is clearly demon
strated by the official reports OF the
Uurted States Department OF Agri-
culture. which shows the average pro
duction # corn in Missouri during the
last four years has been greater than
Eat Of any other of the great corn
growing states except Illinois. The
Uuited States report gives Missouri
credit for producing during the last
four year 1904 bushels per acre, or
an average yield of 80 s bushels. For
he same four years 1902 TO 1895, in
elusive, the average Weld Of corn in
10 ga, one of the greatest corn states
a he union, Is only 81 s or one busnel
less than an average yield for Mis-
8 url In NoDraska another greaJ
corn state during the same period the
average yield was only 500 bushels
per acre, or nearly 2 bushels less than
Missouri. 10 Kansas another border
state the average yield was only 70
bushels or 6.S bushels less than our
own farmers produced.
While iris Official statement shows
that Missouri sol and Missouri farmers
are equal if o superior 10 those of
other ATE it also shows that toe limit
of production of corn and other crops
has not yet been reached in Missouri.
Many farmers have made average yield
during the four yesrs mentioned OF
from 40 TO 80 bushels per acre, n
there is no reason why the average
weld for the entire state of Missouri
should not be increased to at last 40
bushels per acre, if our farmers will
apply well established scientific meth
DDS in selecting seed andin cultivation,
and the use OF proper fertil zers.
