BLAZING BIPLANE
SAFELY LANDS
Caught Fire 1900 Feet in Air
Gasoline Tank Explodes on
Reaching Earth.

Salisbury, England, May 26.-Volplaning
from a height of 200 feet in a blazing BIZ
plane, the British aviator, Coloyns Pizey.
and passenger, II. Fellows. reached the
ground in safety this evening and stepped
from the machine just as an explosion of
the gasoline tank completely wrecked 1t.
The aeroplane was in easy flight over
the outskirts of the town when suddenly
the carburetor took fire. Breaking the
inlet valve. the aviator shut off the gaso-
line and started a steep volplane.
The rush of air famed the flames
and to those who witnessed the Incl
dent, it seemed as though the men in
the machine had but a slender chance
for their lives. Tongues of fire swept
under the passenger seat and Fellows
drew himself up and chung to the stays
while the aeroplane drove down in
its swift descent.
Pizey held the wheel in firm grip
although the flames scorched his
hands, and succeeded in making a
splen lid landing Just as the men
sprang from the machine the gas tank
blew up. but they practically escaped
all injury.

ACTION IS WHAT
GOVERNOR WANTS
Public Service Commission Not
a Buffer between People
and Corporations.

When interviewed ~ a Free Press
reporter last night about tine publia
service commissions now departure
in giving public hearings in various
parts of the State Of its own volition.
Governor Fletcher said that, in
his opinion the movement was
in the right direction. He said
that public service commissions in
some states had been regarded as
mere buffers between the public serv-
Ice corporations and the people, whose
activity was largely in the direction
of deeply bordering upon legal as
poets of problems and long delays that
all the parties might oe brought to
agree amicably, instead of facing the
situation which confronted them, cour-
ageously doing the right thing and
dong it when ii presented itself rath-
err than supinely delaying in the in

ernor expressed the hope that the pub.

at present constituted would not be
proper subject for criticisms of this
character.

CUT RATES ON
= PATENTS LEGAL
U. S. Supreme Court Reverses
Policy Adopted in Famous
Monograph Case"

Washington. May 2s.-The so-called
patent monopoly which threatened to
prevent out rates by retailers in all
patented articles on the market was
destroyed to-day by decision Of Supreme
Court OF the United States.
The court held that owners of patents
are not given the right by the patent
law to control the price at which re-
tailers must sell to consumers The
decision In words applied only to a
nerve tonic sor which a patent had been
issued, but II will control all patented
articles, hundreds of which are being
sold under restrictions on the retailer
not TO resell at cut rates.
The court reversed the policy adopted
by it in the famous "mimeograph case
decided a little over a year ago when
only seven justices were on the bench.
but allowed that case to stand go far as
1t goes Thus was accomplished what
has been unsuccessfully sought IN Con-
gress ever since the "mimeograph case
was decided.
To-day Justice Day, who was absent
a year ago, and Justice Pitney appoint
ed since then Joined with the chief jus
tice and Justices Hughes and Lamar in
overruling the policy advocated by the
four justices who handed down the
courts decision In the "mimeograph
case"
Justice Day, who announced the major
ity decision, stated that the manufactur-
ers relied chiefly on the "mimeograph
case" An examination of the opinion of
the court in that case, he said, showed
that the restriction was sustained be-
cause the machine was sold at cost or
less and that the owner depended upon
the profit realized from the sale of I'M
patented supplies to be used upon the
machine for reward for his invention. No
such conditions existed, he added, in the
present case.
In further attempt to distinguish the
two cases. the justice said that the re-
striction in the mime ograph case" was
in regard to the use OF the machine and
only qualified title" to the patented
article passed. In the present case he
pointed out the restriction was to keep
up the price, the sale to the retailer
having been absolute.

/ my dear Sir:
regret that l cannot be with you il

at the University that the agricultural
authorities claim alfalfa has been the
one crop that has brought Wisconsin to
'ne front. agriculturally. Eighteen
years ago the farmers of this state de-
pended on wheat, as we have done in
mississippi on cotton. The land became
poorer and poorer. and in the records
snow that three-fourths Of the farms of
wisconsin had wheat mortgages on
them.

oug that destroyed the wheat to a great
extent. and the gospel of diversified ap-
rlculture preached by our Professors
Henry Babcock. Gov. Hoard, Prof. R.
"A. Moore, Senator Hiram Smith and
Others. resulted in the introduction of
alfalfa. Silos were constructed, COOP
erative dairies sprang up, beef cattle
were raised. and today Wisconsin ranks
as one Of the foremost agricultural
states in the Union. Ninety million
dollars worth of dairy products were
sold by the farmers of the state last
year. l wish you could have been at
Gov. Hoard's farm with me last week.
But | want to tell you that the prairies

Cattle win Take Place Of Cotton.

From Kansas City Drovers Journal.
G. R. Dewey of Macon, Miss. spent
several hours at the sheep barns this
morning and bought carload of good
breeding ewes. Mr.. Dewey is located
iu the eastern part of Mississippi, in
the black prairie belt near the Alabama
line.
We have good stock country. with
land that will grow all the clovers, al
falfa and blue grass. said MIR. Dewey,
but as cotton has been the principal
crop little attention has been paid to
stock. Cotton growing is being made
unproftuble on account Of the Mexican
boil weevil, and as county has been
practically eradicated of the cattle tick,
the cattle business, both dairy and
beef. are expected to look up.
About $50, 900 worth of dairy products
are now being shipped annually from
Macon, and creamery has just been
established that is expected to double
the output. Mr.. Creswell from Iowa,
who has a reputation as a beef cattle
raiser, having taken the first p rize on
Shorthorns at the Worlds Fair, and
Mr.. Gurler from Illinois, who has ma
tional reputation az a dairyman, are
residents eff Noxubee county and are
making a success at dairying and stock,
sheep and hog raising.
