ARMY AER0PLANES
DIVIDED INTO CLASSES
lust the Same as Naval Vessels Are
Divided, Art of Aerial Warfare Is
Becoming So Advanced,

Paris. Oct. 1.-THE art of aerial
warfare has advanced to such a stage
that army aeroplanes will now have to

same way a. are naval vessels. in the
opinion of the heads of the French army

the rear of the army the heavy armored
aeroplanes with high-power motors will
be installed in aviation camps. These
machines viii be the battleships OF the
air, just as the first line aeroplanes will
be the destroyers.

formances of the two dirigibles which
took part in the recent French war ma

the dirigible in its present form is an

declares to be a myth. A dirigible re-

squadrons of aeroplanes need only $50.

FAVOR ROAD PATROLS.
Engineer Forbes Finds That Many
Counties Are Taking Up the
Idea.

st. Paul. - According to C.. A.
Forbes, division engineer of the state
highway commission, who has just
returned from a tour of inspection
through the northern counties, farm
ers in that section of the state are
preparing to build hundreds of miles
of good roads this summer. In many
of the towns good roads organizations
have been formed to help push the
work, and the farmers are displaying
great enthusiasm over the movement.
Mr.. Forbes reports that the idea OF
placing road patrols on roads already
built is gaining great favor. In Hub
bard county a state road patrol was
employed last year on the road lead
ing from Park Rapids to the Itasca
state park, and during the wet wealth
er last year this road was the only
one over which an automobile could
travel with safety. Several of the 9TH
er counties will employ road patrols
this summer. Beltrami county, Mr..
Forbes says, has let contracts for the
construction of thirty-one miles OF
good roads this summer. Road patrols
will be engaged to keep these roads
in condition after they have been COM
pleted.

POINTER HERE FOR FARMER
One Good Thing, at Least, That He
May Place to the Credit Of
the Auto.

The farmer may not venerate the
automobile, but he must admit that,
although the automobile teaches 9th
ers extravaganza, it has taught him
a very valuable lesson in economy.
Everybody knows how plant lice. or
aphis, overrun and destroy plants and
how the sole protection against plant
lice has heretofore been patent pow
ders more or less costly.
But of late years farmers have no
ticed that, while all the plants in field
or garden were covered with aphis,
all the roadside growths, white with
dust from flying automobiles, had not
single aphis on them.
Hence an experiment. Turnips, peas
and cabsages were coated with ordi-
nary dust instead of costly powder.
Result, disappearance of all insect par
asites.
The automobile, in a word, has
taught the farmer that dust. which
costs nothing, VIII protect his plants
from plant lice and other pests just as
completely as tho most expensive
powder can.

PASTORS IN CONFERENCE.
One Hundred Members Of Lutheran
Synod Assembled at DeIano.

Delano.-The pastoral conference of
the Luthern synod of Minnesota was
in session here last week. Rev. E. A.
Pankow of st. James, president of
the synod, was elected chairman, and
Rev. Gerhard Hirmenthal, secretary.
The basis of the doctrinal discussion
was a theological paper on the eighth
commandment, prepared by Rev. John
r. Bowman of Red Wing.
The conference expressed itself in
favor of reducing the number of mem
bers of the boards of directors of the
educational institutions of the joint
synod Of Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan, from fifteen to seven. The
synod at its meeting in June at St.
Paul will vote on this question.
The building committee reported
that the new $65,000 buildings, at
Martin Luther college at New Ulm
were now completed. The new
dormitory is of freproof construction,
three stories high and has study
rooms and sleeping accommodations
for 100 students. The system is to
have only four students in room.
The report on home missions show
ed flourishing condition of work in
Minnesota, lie Dakotas and other
states. There are nearly 100 pas
tors present.

Useful Agent for Show.

AL G. Field. the minstrel man, has
another story which he is telling.
He says that not long ago an attache
OF his show was sent out in an Iowa
town to give some handbills, or her
nlds. to boys for distribution. The
man found only one boy willing to
work. He didn't deem it necessary
10 explain to the boy that the bills
were to be distributed about town.
He took 1t for granted that the boy
knew. The youngster took the print
ed slips of paper and the man gave
him a quarter and left. Half an hour
later the Snowman CHANGED to pass
Along the street and saw the boy
standing on the sidewalk.
What's the matter" asked tho
man.
The boy gave a couple of final sob3

CUBA'S GREAT HURLER
Claimed Mendez Ranks Above All
American Stars.
All Players Admit Pitcher Has More
Than Any Other Living Twirler
and Is One of Wonders Of
Baseball World.

American baseball fans can talk all
they want about their Benders, Math'
eWsons, Washes and Browns, but
down in our country we have pitcher
that none of the best batters in the
country can touch. This is the fam
GUS black tornado, Mendez. Talk
about speed. Why, when he cuts loose
at his hardest clip the ball bounces
out of the catcher's mitt. No one has
been found who can hold him when he
really extends himself. He has shown
his skill in the past when he has faced
the best batters on the Cub and De-
troit teams when those teams were
champions, and when the Athletics
went there last year. Mendez has
more curves than any pitcher in Amer
lea, and if some inventive genius
could produce a whitening process
whereby we could get the fellow into
the big leagues he could win a pen
nant for either tail-end team in either
league"
The above is the way "Pepe" Conte,
the Cuban baseball scribe, lauds the
pitching prowess of the black pitch
ing terror Of the island.
Conte is backed up in his statement
by members of the champion teams
who have been going on winter tours
to the island. All the players say that
this black Cuban is one of the won
ders of baseball, and has more than
any other living pitcher of the pres
ent day.
The Cuban newspaper man is well
versed in the ethics of baseball, and.
although Of Spanish parentage, was
educated and played baseball in the
states. Since the Spanish war he has
been engaged in newspaper work in
Cuba and has taken up the baseball
end for the La Prinsa, daily publica'
ton, which issues baseball extras just
like the progressive American papers.
"The Cubs, Tigers and Athletics
have all made pilgrimages to Havana,
and each time thye have come home
after being beaten by our teams" con.
tinued Conte in discussing the merits
of Cuban ball players. "Mendez has
made players like Cobb, Schultz and
other stars look as if they were tied
to the post. Talk about speed, Mendez
has to pitch most of the time without
curves because we haven't a catcher
who can hold him. To make things
better, Mendez can bat like Cobb.
He has won his own games on various
occasions with smashes over the
fences for home runs. He weighs
about 154 pounds and is a little fell
low" #.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance Of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
q combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
peasant to the taste and positive in
rs effect, Strengthening the muscles
ef stomach and bowels SO that after
b short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tons without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
S1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
it, write for sample to DR.. w. B.
Caldwell, 201 Washington ST., Month
cello, ILL.,; he will gladly send trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.

OVER $4,000 MILES REPORTED BY
STATE ENGINEER
COOLEY.
s71 MILES BUILT IN 1911.
Nearly Half Million Dollars Avail
able for the Various Counties
this Year-Detailed Figures
are Given.

St Paul.-Minnesota has designated
more than 10000 miles of state roads,
according to the annual report of the
state highway commission, soon to be
issued by George w. Cooley, the COM
missions secretary and engineer
State roads are such highways as are
approved by the commission, which
also, pays one-half the cost of the
road up to the amount of the allot-
ment for the year in which the road
is built.
The report of the commission indi-
Gates that there is wide contrast in
the interest shown by the various
counties in the efforts of the state to
aid in the movement to extend and
improve the rural highways. Many of
the counties have sought very little
aid from the state, while others have
taken a lively interest in the enter
prise.
Thus Beltrami county, one of the
northern tier, has 409.25 miles of state
roads and much of this milage already
is completed. Douglas county has
made good use of the opportunity, with
nearly 400 miles of state roads, as has
Waseca county. Aitkin, LIE Sueur,
Swift and Wright counties each has
more than 300 miles.
81 Miles in 1911.
The completed work in 1911 aggre-
gated 81 miles and was distributed
throughout the state, nearly every
county taking a part in the state pro-
ject.
In addition, there were built 1,726
bridges. 1t is noteworthy that not
one of these was timber, all being
either of concrete or steel construc-
tion

lotted to the various counties of the
state at recent meeting of the COM
