ton, of this city, and several children

tives and friends throughout the

Chapter of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy are about to realize
their long-cherished desire to perpet-

tial recognition and cordial cO-Opera-
ton.

the eminent sculptor, Mr.. F. H. Pack
er, of New York, the author of the
Worth Bagley monument, for por-
trait bronze statue of Mr.. Davis, tc
cost $4,000, which they hope to place
within a year at the main entrance
If the city hall, the scene of his great
orations.
Several hundred dollars are still
| lacking, and the Cape Fear Chapter
q. d. c., will receive most gratefully
any sum, large or small, to be devoted
| to this purpose. Such subscriptions
may be sent to Mrs. w. M. Parsley
president, or to Mrs. Jennie DeRosset
chairman of the monument commit
tee No further personal appeals fOl
money will be made.

Hoods Sarsaparilla
IDAHO AT IRRIGATION CONGRESS
Large Delegation Headed by Governor
Brady

Idaho will send several large and rep
resentative delegations to join in the
arade of the irrigation army at the
seventeenth sessions of tn National r.
rigation Congress in Spokane the second
week IN Augu"t. The contingent from
the southern part Of the state is to be
headed by Governor J. H. Brady. Gov
ernor Brady says:
am most thoroughly interested in
the welfare Of Idaho and the develop
ment of her great natural resources.
Having first come TO Idaho for the pur-
pose of looking after my personal in
forests IN the construction and operating
Ct large irrigation canals, am particu-
lsrly interested in the good work which
VIII be accomplished by concerted effort
in the reclamation Of irrigable and arid
lands in Idaho. Idaho is proud of the
progress which has been made along
these lines in the last five or six years
Il doubt not that great measure
Of the success which has been met by
the efforts of those interested in the
reclaiming of arid lands in Idaho is due
TO the good work which has been and is
being done by the individual members
and the delegates to the National Irri
cation Congress, as well as by the sit
tings of that body.
In southern Idaho we can say, per
haps boastingly. that we have made the
desert bloom like the rose Electric
power plants. electric railways. steam
railroads, good homes, county roads, or
chards and crops and growing cities are
the results Of the wonderful progress
made in the irrigation Of arid lands II

years

is to an engine. And Just as steam
once gone can never be recovered, just
50 ballast thrown overheard is lost. One
man can get along, make a whole trip
without losing more than five bags of
ballast while another spends 20. The
latter spends all his time in travelling
up and down, making saw teeth, while
the other sails along in comparatively
straight line. The pilot who is out with
the beginner makes careful notes, and
gives a full report to the members of
the Aero Club. He takes into consider
alton just how much fuctuating the
learner does. He assists the new man,
hut he watches him carefully to find out
how much grip he has on the science.
The dilettante in search of new SEN
sation is as dangerous as an automo-
bilist with the speed mania. / hesitate
10 make trip with beginner who says
the danger is nothing, with the man
who says, ooh, I'm not afraid. I've
got the nerve.' AS a matter of fact
when good sense is used, there is no
more danger than there is in an auto
mobile trip. But there is much po-
tential danger. / am willing to make
the trip with beginner who says, "No,
j IN new at this, and want you to take
the rudder I don t know it all.''
Another thing, balloons and all air
crafts will soon be equipped with wire
less telephone. An air craft in distress
can send G. d. Q. message to earth
just like a vessel at sea. 1t should be
compulsory that equipment for com
munications with the earth or airships
he installed. A balloon in trouble
would simply telephone its location OF
general direction and rescue balloons
or automobiles could be sent to the
rescue.
The u. S. army corps with which
have been connected has successfully
experimental with a De Forest instru-
n.ent. weighing less than one hundred
Tounds. However, there is a new
sparkless and wireless telephone Of
the radio variety which weighs only
ten pounds and which any balloonisi
can safely carry. The radio sparkless
attachment does away with the danger
Of setting the gas bag on fire. The
weight Of the telephone is so small
that when the balloon lands out in the
country the operator can put it under
his arm and take it with him. Al
cid fashioned wireless telegraph is i'm
PRACTICAL for the reason that it maker
"A spark that may ignite the gas bag.
Ballooning has advanced so far nov
that il is no longer experimental bu

. science. The throwing out of bal
ost is science. 1t takes long time
to learn to handle a balloon properly.
Why, in the fitness of things should
beginner, one who has nothing to
urge him on except curiosity and dare
dcviltry, be allowed to risk other lives7
1 think the license to beginners
should be made reasonably hard to OBJ
tain. And further, the laws regulat-
ing the ballooning should be severe.
Ballooning is a matter of public con-
Germ, and when licenses are first is
sued hope that they will not be given
90 promiscuously as licenses were given
at first to auto drivers.
Letting an outsider take up a bal
loon is exactly like running a railroad
engine. A railroad train is halfway
between stations when its engineer
dies. The train is stopped. Somebody
asks, "Can anybody here run an en-
gine9" A young man steps up and
says, eyes, can" He takes the en-
CINE and may draw the train ten miles
without an accident and he may get it
safely into the station. But is he a
worthy engineers No. On the follow
ing day this same young man might
wreck the train before he got out of
the switch yards.
