THE FARM KID.

Don't tell me of the dear old farm;
1 know the game from A to u.
You see. l was brung up on one.
And 1t does not appeal to me.
OF course. there's nothin' much to do,
Exceptin' work from morn till night.
The only chance yo get to rest
Is when there isn't any light.
You get up when the ~faintest streak
OF light it is morn.
You do the chores and then you go
And hoe the taters and the corn.
When o get simply tired out
And sick OF every doggone chore,
You kin do all the chores again.
And then go out M hoe some more.
You milk a dozen cows or more.
And then you pillow and cultivate.
Or pick potato bugs awhile.
To rest yourself. that's simply great.
or course. when it rains good and hard,
You get. from work. a short respite.
You simply hang around the barn
And mend until night.
l don't like to make no complaint
About the matter. but you see,
The dear old farm they talk of. amt
just what it is cracked up to be.
But still. I don't know as I'd change
If l should have a chance, bekuz
There's drawbacks to most any job.
No matter what a Teller does.

right to niche in the hall of fame by his daring
flight over the enemy at Tripo when he dropped
four OF these aerial grenades among the enemy
at various points with deadly results
Turkey, beholding the devastation Italy has
wrought from the clouds, has made rapid strides
In the purchase of an aerial fleet of her own and

Austria is also waking up to the advantages
of these adiuncts to military tactics, and has
entered the field Of aeronautlcs."

Generally speaking, they would perhaps be
most effective as scouts, working from different
points upon the Atlantic coast the Gulf coast
and the Pacific as coast patrols for observation
and supplying information regarding the ap
proach of ships. Acting aggressively they could
by assembling in small groups do an immense
amount of damage
In the event Of the existence of war and the
approach of hostile ships or transports with
troops these scout aeroplanes could prevent the
landing OF any troops II each station in the
coast patrol had, we will say five ships each
of which can carry 400 pounds in addition to

patrols while they were going forty miles an

This amount Of explosive could be dropped
In weights of from 90 to 200 pounds without in
jury or disturbance to the aeroplane and from
safe heights of from 1000 to 1900 feet It should
not require many such hints to convince the
commander OF any fleet invading army no
matter how determined he might be- that the
locality was rather unhealthy.
The best time for such work as this to be
done would be in the semi-darkness of the early
morning or late evening just at dusk or dawn,

Two different kinds of cases are
