make NEW
AIR RECORD
WRIGHT tQUN. TO TIE TtSI
Flight at Fort Myer Breaks Worlds
RecOrds-First of Government
Tests Compiled With.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July a.
The worlds aeroplane. record for two
men, both as to time and to distance,
was broken this evening in beautiful
flight of 1 hour, IL minutes and 40
seconds, at a speed averaging about
forty miles an hour by Orville
Wright at Fort Myer. with Lieutenant
Frank P. Lahm of the army signal
corps as the passenger. The former
record was made last year by his
brother Wilbur at Lemans, France,
with Professor Paintov of France as
passenger.
The cheering that heralded the set
ting of new mark in the conquest of
the air was led by President Taft, who
was intensely interested as a spectator
throughout the fight.
This success is all-important to the
Wrights, in that it completed the first
of two crucial tests of their machine
imposed on them by the government,
to remain in the air continuously one
hour with one passenger. The other
test, that of speed, will be completed
tomorrow, the weather permitting.

Worry.

People worry too much.-John d.
Rockefeller.
We're a very foolish nation,
For we're always worrying.
When in truth to cause us worry
There is not a single thing.
Save the fact that all the bakers
For our bread have raised the price
And it costs a trifle more to
Buy little chunk of ice
But it really is all nonsense
When we worry ev'ry might
Just because the gasman tells us,
Pay, or we'll turn off your light"
And it's really rather foolish
That we cannot be content
When the landlord adds a trifle
To our monthly bill for rent
we?
Why, the very thoughts absurd;
Why should we be interested
Just because the wife has heard
That the dealers raised the ante
On our winters coal and wood,
Even If we cannot pay him?
Worry! No one ever should.
It's a waste of mental tissue
When we fuss and fume and fret:
Worry never got a body
Anything but worry yet.
For John d. to be so foolish
There is not the least excuse
And as for us lesser mortals-
tho lpvn1 W hn
New York World.

YOU BUILD.

Foresight in building house is bet
ter than hindsight. Many step-sav
ing, labor-saving, comfort-giving con-
veniences do not mean any great ad-
ditional expense If thought out and
completes the plans.
A simple hardwood floor with rugs
is more clearly and more easily taken
care of than a carpetea floor.
Plan for plenty of closets. Put
them in every available place.
Stained shingles last much longer
than plain ones.
The best chimneys are built of good
quality of hand-burnt brick, plastered
on the outside as a precautiOn against
fire, and topped with stone.
Remove mortar and paint from
glass with hot, sharp vinegar.
Clean enamel bath tubs and mar

twenty-four hours in a warm room.

rest of the house is OF vital impOr-
lance. The clinging odors generated
in this quarter, while rightly belong
ing to it, and in a measure to the din
ing room, have no business in the rest
of the house. The least one should do
is to place two sets of doors between
this seat of trouble and the rest of
the house, and we are not sure but
that a like precaution between the
room would be wise.
Make il an invariable rule that no
kitchen refuse or waste stuff Of any

Burn up the rubbish and you'll find
that you enjoy bonfire just for the

Iron fences are really cheaper than
wood in the long run and last longer.
They have style, finish, and add very
much to the good appearance of
your premises. Iron vases and set
tees are also worth their cost in

Don't underrate the value of initia-

ing them to reality.

WRIGHT'S FLY FOR
GAY WASHINGTON
President Taft and Members of White
House Circles See Successful Trial
Trip Under Adverse Conditions.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Orville
Wright made two and half mile
flight under adverse conditions with
his aeroplane this evening. The &C.
casion by reason of the presence of
President Taft and a brilliant assem-
blage of Washington official life bore
the air of more of a social affair than
an aeronautic event. Everybody had
expected Wright to make the first Of
his official so-called endurance tests"
of an hour in the air with a passenger.
A stiff wind caused the postponement
of the expected trial and all Wright
attempted was brief flight of three
times around the drill ground without
a passenger.

GUARD STAYS
ONE CONVICT
OTHER SHOT THROUGH the ARM
Joseph Read Sentenced from Yakima,
Gets on With Wound-Mcn
Fighting With Scissors.

According to advices received here
from Walla Walla, Joseph Read, sem
fenced by Judge Rigg from Yakima
county two years ago for assault to
commit robbery, was shot in the arm
fight with another convict. John Allen.
who was serving time from Spokane.
The latter was killed. The dispatch
received here follows:
Refused to Obey Command.
Because they refused to heed the
command of Fred Staff, guard at
the Washington state penitentiary, to
cease fighting. Convict John Allen is
dead, with a bullet through his right
breast, and Joseph Read, alias Alex
ander Bene, another convict. lies in
the prison hospital, shot through the
right arm.
The fight and subsequent shooting
occurred shortly after 1 o'clock Mon
day afternoon, just as the prisoners in
the penitentiary jute mill were going to
work. The two cOnvicts, It Is said by
prison officials, had quarreled several
days ago over matters connected with
their work in the jute mill, and when
they met Monday Immediately
started fighting, attempting to stab
each other with scissors used in their
work.
They were warned to desist and,
disregarding the order. Guard Staff
fired at the struggling cOmbatants
with the intention, as he afterward
stated, to merely wound Allen, who
seemed to be the aggressor. The
bullet struck Read in the right arm,
infiicting a severe though not danger
GUS wound, and entered Aliens right
breast, causing almost instant death.
Allen was serving a 14-year sem
tence for burglary committed in Spo-
kane county two years ago. Read
came to the penitentiary two years
ago from Yakima county to serve q
14-year term for assault to commit
robbery.

then fired twice with his rifle.

been blocked by some of the property
owners who, it is said, put an excess

spring broken dry land sod. II is the
practice in some sections to continue
the growth of the fax for several
years. A study of the yields shows
that most of the grain crops will re-
turn a more profitable yield than will
the fax. The average of all tests so
far as made shows a yield of slightly
over IL bushels per acre.
Bronze grass (Brome inermis) is the
best yielder amongst the forage crops
reported. This grass is hardy grow
er and if cut in proper condition gives
a good yield of high quality hay. The
Tall Dat grass yielded slightly less
than the Bronze, but shows promise
of satisfactory returns.
Alfalfa yields from two stations are
reported at this time. The best yield
is slightly over one and one-quarter
tons, while the other yield is less
than three-quarters of ton. We do

slider these yields as representing al
falfa forage possibilities on the dry
farms. From observations on the sub
stations, as we'll as in other parts of
the northwest, we find that alfalfa is
one of the most satisfactory dry land
forage crops. The crop is some
what slow in becoming established,
but when once properly started gives
good annual hay yields for many
years.
On two of the farms corn was plant
ed and harvested as a fodder crop.
The yields of 444 and 20 tons per
acre indicate that corn is a heavy for
age producer under dry farm condi-
tions.
The average yield of nearly 124
bushels of potatoes to the acre shows
possibilities for this intensive culture
crop. The potatoes produced are
very dry and mealy and will always
find a good market demand. Sugar
beets have not yielded high enough to
warrant the encouragement of their
growth in a commercial way. For
home feeding a small area may be
found profitable, but because of the

that amount, because, she alleges,
