DANIEL BOONE'S OLD MONUMENT

who, during his life, was famous for
his love and charity.
A priest of Rome, he suffered the
displeasure of Claudius II. for violat-
mig the royal edict that no marriages
should be solem1ized during the wars
then raging about the capital, and
when the priest of Valentine resumed
the marrying of young couples of
Rome he was seized, thrown into
prison and terribly tortured until his
death.
To this date the anniversary of the
good mans birth is celebrated in
Rome, and from that old center OF
the Old Worlds learning spread the
spirit of love making and the seeking
OF congenial life partners which has
made st. Valentines Day one most
thoroughly enjoyed in this great
country.
Although changes have come in the
passing of the centuries when this
day was distinctly a day Of choosing
mates and love making, there is still
an influence which has been given to
it by the young lovers who make this
day one after their own heart.
Even so recent as one hundred
years ago there were no attempts at
decoration of coloring of the love mes
sages, but today in rhe various stores
about town can be seen valentines
which are works of art.

HEMP CROP.

That hemp will feature strongly in

from the large acreage now being

modify. Next to tobacco, and almost
on a par with it, hemp is regarded as
a money crop"
Now that there will be curtailing, If
not a complete omission OF tobacco

farmers, who formerly depended upon
1t for their main crop look forward
to the fibrous plant to bring them
large returns for this year.

AN AER0PLANE RECORD
DEL4GR4NGES FLIGHT
Trip OF Ouer 10 Miles at Issy Last
ing NedrIy 80 Minutes.

Paris Sept. 6-Leon Delagranre president of

worlds record with his aeroplane at Issy this
morning both for length and duration of flight.
NJ Delagrange remained in the air for 30 min
utes and % 4-5 seconds and circled the field
fifteen and half times, covering distance of
ATT metres. or about fifteen and a quarter
miles He thus beat the longest flight pre-
Viousiy made, that by Henry Farman in July.
by y minutes and "a 1-5 seconds and exceeded
the distance covered by Wilbur Wright yester-
day by about one and three-ouarters miles. The
NJ Delagrange's sensational flight, which
closely approaches the longest unofficial flights
reported by the Wright brothers in the United
States, is rendered still more impressive by the
fact that he came down only because the fluid
used for his motor became exhausted. He car
ried twenty-four litres in tank. and practically
every drop of it was used. When he cut off the
power he came lightly to the earth. MN.

dozen other we'll known aeronauts witnessed the
performance and were enthusiastic it,

of thirty litres capacity, with the intention of
trying for another record, but while prepara-
tions were going on the wind arose and he de-
cided to postpone the trial. A dead calm pre-
