the mother-love and anxiety was
manifest in every word uttered In
conversation with her, Rev. II. M.
Bruce made the remark that he had
dreamed of just such an airship,
with just such a sound, in his early
boyhood, which the mother of the
great aviator pronounced almost a
prophecy. She formed very ia.
vorable impression of Deming as
will be seen by the following letter
received by the editor of the
GRAPHIC the next morning:

Concerning the Judges.

The qualifications of each candi-
date for office should be considered
as far as possible by every voter be-
fore casting his vote, As the cleo
ton approaches the people are con-
sidering more seriously than hereto
fore the relative qualifications of
the Republican and Democratic can
didates for Judge Of this District,
which embraces the Counties of
Grant and Luna. Mr.. Percy Wilson
is the Republican candidate and Mr..
Colin Neblett is the Democratic can
didate; both reside in Silver City.
Mr., Wilson has for several years
had large law practice and both
his friends and enemies admit that
he is a fine lawyer, and well quail
fled to perform the duties of Judge.
Mr.. Neblett, during his residence in
Silver City has been successful
politician; has held the office of
Superintendent of Schools; is a good
mixer, and a good fellow socially,
but even his warmest friends are
put to some embarrassment when
questioned as to his qualifications
for District Court Judge. Some of
them admit that he is poorly quail
fed at the present, but think he
will make a good Judge in the
course of a few years, provided he
develops sufficient industry, II quail
ity which has not attracted much
attention to Mr.. Neblett up to the
present. Certainly he is not famous
for industrial performances. Others
make a joke of Neblett's qualifica-
tions by saying: "Neb don't need
any qualifications
Being boss of the Democratic
party in Grant County is different
from being Judge Of the Sixth Ju-
dicial District.

Noted Aviator in Deming.

Calbraith Perry Rodgers, them an
bird of America, who is flying from
coast to coast, together with his
wife and mother, Mrs. H. S. SWEET.
ger, Manager Wettengel and the
great aviators force of mechanicans,
who run a special train across the
continent nearly as fast as he flies
were honored guests of Deming,
Tuesday afternoon, a vast crowd
noting their arrival and departure
Mr.. Rodgers flew from FL Paso. a
distance of 80 miles, in one hour and
thirty minutes, according to the
watch he carries in a leather case
strapped to his wrist. He left FL
Paso at 1850 and arrived at Deming
at 1920, remaining here for better
than an hour and a half, the special
train arriving 20 minutes later than
the hier, and leaving for Wilcox,
Arizona, at the same time.
Mr.. Rodgers is driving a Wright
biplane built in September of this
year. 1t is 30 feet wide, p feet
long and I feet high, and weighs
with its occupant, 90S pounds. The
planes are 90 feet long and 5 feet
wide, covered with rubberized duck
and at least 5000 signatures of peo-
pie who want their name to fly high
together with the name Win Fiz,"
a popular grape juice drink the avi-
ator is advertising.
1t was an inspiring and beautiful
sight to see the beautiful machine,
graceful in every line and move
ment, silhouetted against the tur-
quoise sky in the east, the well.
known brand of New Mexico sun
shine enhancing the grand spectacle.
The aviator scared around the
city as gracefully as swallow and
lit on the S. P. right of way south
east of the Harvey house, gliding
about $50 yards after striking the
ground. The 3d. h. p. engine was
shut off for some little time before
the little bicycle wheels struck the
ground.
After greeting perhaps a thous-
and people, the brave bird-man con.
tinued his flight, rising as graceful
ly from the ground as a dove, start
ing east and circling toward the
west.
Mr.. Rodgers Is a descendant Of
Commodore Perry and is q very
pleasant gentleman to meet. He
stands six feet two In his stocking
feet and his devoted mother says he
is just as good as he is big and
stout. His petite and accomplished
wife, Mabel Avis Graves Rodgers, is
a descendant of Thomas Graves,
who commanded the British feet at
Boston. His mother, Mrs. H. s.

Beginning September 1, 1911,
the Missouri College Of Agricul-

to have q regularly organized
poultry department. The pur-
pose Of the new department is to
investigate the various diseases
and pests that affect farm fowls,
to study the relative utility oi
different breeds Of poultry for
various localities OF the state, to
experiment with the problem oI
feeding poultry for breeding pur-
poses and for market, besides
giving regular courses OF In.
struction in poultry husbandry to
students.
The Federal Experiment Sta.
ton at Columbia with its well
equipped demonstration rooms
and laboratories offers exception.
al advantages for carrying on
the proposed line Of work. The
new three story Veterinary Build.
ing now nearing completion viii
supply unusual facilities for the

and methods Of combating them
Moreover, all the work of inves.
LEGATION and experimentation vii
be carried on where hundreds oI
students and thousands Of farm.

with it and learn the lessons o.

and fitted to its needs, every on,
of the ten to fifteen hundred
farmers who came to Columbia

ed to the winner ol a contest in
which those who enter will be re-
quired to keep a complete record
of the amount of milk and butter
fat produced by three or more
dairy COWS during the month OF
September. In determining the
winner, the record made by the
cows, together with the complet-
ness Of the report is to count one.
half. The other half is to be
based upon the accuracy of an
essay, telling how the COWS were
fed and cared for during the test
and how the contestant would
proceed to select COWS for dairy
purposes.
The contest is open to all boys
in missouri between the ages oi
10 and 20 years who have not al
ready attended an Agricultural
college. 1t is hoped that a large
number of boys will enter the
contest. The lessons learned
during the one month of keeping
records OF both food eaten anc
milk produced will amply pay any
boy for his time and effort.
The records of each COW and
the essay must be submitted be-

for testing and any further infor'
nation wanted will be furnished
