FALLS SEVEN HUNDRED FEET
Noted French Aviator Probably Fatal
IY Injured.

Paris, April 30,-Jules Vedrines,
probably the most noted OF French
air men remaining in competition, is
believed to be dying in Lari Baisiere
hospital here.
His mania for speed is responsible
for his fatal injuries, he having de-
clared only a couple OF days ago that,
having once attained 100 miles an
hour in the air, he could never expect
again to be satisfied with lower rate.
vedrines was endeavoring to create
new record between Douai and
Madrid. He was flying at rate which
is believed to have been very nearly
100 miles an hour when something
went wrong with the machinery of his
high powered aeroplane and 1t col.
lapsed.
He fell 700 feet, landing directly In
front of the Epinay railway station. He
was hurried to the hospital, where II
was stated he had a compound frac-
ture of the skull at the base and at
the top, and internal injuries which
were almost certain to result in death

COMMON CARRIERS
Important Ruling by Interstate
Commission.

Washington, April 30-Tap lines
are not common carriers. That, In
general effect, is the decision of the
Interstate commerce commission after
an investigation of more than a year.
The opinion in the case was rem
dered by Commissioner Harlan and
was concurred in by all members of
the body. That it will result in ex-
tended litigation and eventually find
its way to the United States supreme
court seems a certainty.
Involving an Investigation of more
than 1000 Industrial railroads and
tens of millions of dollars in capital
invested, the tap line case is one of
the most important proceedings ever
undertaken by the interstate com.
merce commission.

He declared that when he was ex-
amined by the committee before he

From all over the county they
came. and they did not seek the

of some of the problems that beset
them, from men who are specialists
in their chosen work.
DR.. c. A. Lory, president of the
Agricultural college, made the
opening address, taking for his sub
ject, "The Adaptation of the Farm

course of his remarks he said that

follow.
Many good doctor, lawyer or
commercial man who undertook to
farm would be dismal failure. said
the speaker. The far--er must study
his work just as closely as the pro-
fessional man. He should meet
with his neighbor and compare
notes.
The farmer is not doing as much
to build up the country as compared
to the man in towns. Better schools.
better roads, more social privileges
and better homes will keep the boys
and girls on the farms, and the
women folks contented. Not only
beets and grain Is not enough alone
OF land.
Some pertinent truths told the
farmers by DR.. Lory were:
You must live on the farm to
succeed Yields drop when the fam
lily moves to town.
The average farmer who moves
to town makes a negative citizen.
He don't want to make improve
ment because he don't want to pay
the high taxes, and he wants to buy
cheap.
Farmers wives hope their girls
won't marry farmers. Make farm
| homes modern, and conditions bet
| ter, and change all this.
The farmer who moves to town
| insists on finding a modern house.
Did he have one on the farm?
Life for women can be made just
as pleasant on the farm as In the
town.
Asked by a man In the audience
why the Agricultural college. II it
