UNUSUAL INTEREST
IN AVIATION WEEK
Dick Ferris Hopeful That He Will se-
cure First Honors for Los An
geIes in 1910 Aviation
Records

Dick Ferris is finding a general inter-
est in his project for aviation week in
January which astonishes him. II am
in receipt of frequent telephone calls
and written messages approving the
idea as a great boost for Los Angeles,
and in fact all California" he said
yesterday. 1T shows the way people
keep up with aeronautical progress
nowadays and that we are not behind
the rest of the world in this regard"
If the plans for the aviation meet
go through as at present tentatively
assured, Mr.. Ferris will succeed in
bringing to Los Angeles the honor of
arranging the first great international
aeroplane contest in America. The
flights so far given in the east have
been purely American in scope, but
this year will witness one or more
great meets in which French, German,
English and italian aeronefs will be
entered with those made in the United
States.
1.-THE opportunity is open to Los An
geles through the possibility of holding
a winter meeting to capture first hon
ors in this" said Mr.. Ferris. IF we
do not secure the great contest for the
Gordon Bennett cup we may at least
arrange our own international compe-
tition and make 1t not only the first on
the Pacific coast but also the first of
the kind in America.
las the rivalry to make new aerial
records for 1910 is intense, the greatest
flying ever witnessed will be possible
here. We have opportunity to fly toI
the mountain top; to Catalina island,
thereby rivaling the English channel
flight; across a long stretch of plain,
all in addition to the ordinary spectac-
ular maneuvers which may be per-
formed on any field If our plans goI

AERONAUTIC NOTES

The defense of the Aeronautic So
ciety and Glenn H. Curtiss against the
patent infringement suits of the
Wright brothers is that the Wright
patents, which were secured in 1906,
are not of value because they have
been antedated. The defendants claim
that patents covering Wright features
were obtained in the United States as
follows: BY Marriott in 1862 Davis in
1884, Bechtel in 1890, Mouillard in 1884,
Stanley in 1900, and Johnston in 1903
and also that the Wright patents are
antedated by one patent, in France
four in Germany and five in Great
Britain. The Wrights will set up the
claim that the supreme court has de-
cided that an antedated patent not
practically utilized or demonstrated
cannot act against a later one sue
cessfully used.
Capt. Charles de f. Chandler of the
signal corps has arranged for the pur-
pose of three balloons of small size
for the experiments of the bureau of
ordnance in shooting at aerostats. The
tests will be conducted at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds in New Jersey
with ordinary cannon, and are the first

Courses In Farming.
Schedule for Instruction at the Uni
verSity of Vermont Arranged
Tor this Winter.

The winter courses to be held at the
University of Vermont begins December
81 and closes February 10. They will be
FIVE in number:
Creamery management, Dec. q to Jan.
8.
Farm Dairying, Dec. 81 to Jan. %.
General agriculture, Jan. II to Feb. 10.
Home economics, an. 81 to Feb. II.
Farmers week, Feb. Ia to 10th.
The winter courses are business and not
academic courses, hence no standard of
entrance requirements is insisted upon,
save that each student shall possess a
good common school education. The
registration in the course of home econo-
mics, which will naturally appeal to wo-
men only, is necessarily limited to twelve.
The winter courses are an evolution
from the dairy school the first session of
which was held in 1891. Less stress will
be laid upon creamery work and more
stress upon farm dairy work and upon
general agricultural instruction. The ex.
pense of attendance is small outside of
the necessary cost of board and lodging.
The entire cost of four weeks session
need not exceed thirty dollars.

A Poultry Food of Genuine Merit.

The manufacturer of any stock food
must be attentive to all the details of
its preparation, being certain that only
frst-class materials enter into its com
position. 1t is claimed for Pages Per-
fected Poultry Food" that there doesn't
enter into its composition single parti-
Gle of the ordinary meat meal which is
the basis of so many poultry foods. The
nearest approach to it is what is known
as tallow scraps orcracklings, and every
grandmother who has lived on the farm
and taken care of chickens knows there
is nothing better to make hens lay than
tallow scraps, and Pages Perfected
Poultry Food" contains considerable
percentage of this ingredient.
If YOU want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it, write
to c. S. Page, Hyde Park, VT, for his
booklet, "Prohtable Poultry" 1t will
be sent free, postpaid, to anyone men
