Sandusky, O., June IA mile a
minute in flying boat" is the prom
Use of Harry n. Atwood of Boston, the
long distance aviator who achieved
fame by his flight from ST Louis to
New York a couple of years ago. Since
the beginning of the present year he
has been working on his device in this
city. He has had several successful
flights.
my flying. boat will navigate both
water and air. says Atwood. 1T will
make a mile a minute and then some
Detroit is seventytwo miles from
Sandusky as the crow flies. L am
ready to guarantee to deliver a pas
senger at Detroit within seventy min
utes after setting sail from SanduskY.
New York is between seven and
eight hundred miles on a direct line.
Flying over land isn't as easy as fly
ing over the water, where you can
sail if you don't want to soar. But
1 believe that in my flying boat L
shall be able to get to New York from
Sandusky in less than twenty hours.
Later on l hope to be able to reduce
materially the time of the Twentieth
Century Limited and other fast trains.
Atwood's device in reality is boat
equipped with aeroplane wings and an
air propeller. 1t also has wheels so
that it can land upon or start from
the ground. The bow of the craft is
fitted like an automobile and the ma
chine is cranked and started just like
an auto.
The boat is thirty feet long. The
planes surrounding it measure forty
feet from end to end. The flying
boat" at a whole weighs 1900 pounds,
Notwithstanding the fact that it is con-
structed of the highest material OBJ
tainable, mostly violin wood and BAN
boo. The motor weighs $50 pounds.
The total weight of the craft, with
the aviator and two passengers, will be
approximately two tons.
Atwood employs a dozen different
men in his workship, prominent among
whom is Weldon B. Cooke. the Cali
fornia birdnan, who with second
flying boat" of an entirely different
model, has entered the international
Great Lakes flying cruise, which will
start from Chicago July 8, to finish at
Detroit ten days later. Almost daily
Cooke flies over the bay and lake.
The flying boat" If it proves to be
the success that Cooke and Atwood
predict will revolutionize flying. 1t
will enlarge the field of travel to such
an extent, they think, that an over
the-ocean trip will be a pastime rather
than a possibility. Atwood admits now
that he had a flying boat" in mind
when he considered a fight across the
Atlantic some time ago. And he may
attempt this flight in the not distant
future.

Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that rapid eating
is slow suicide" If you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you are
most likely suffering from indigestion
or constipation, which will result even
tually In serious illness unless cor
rected. Digestion begins in the mouth.
Food should be thoroughly masticated
ana insalivated. Then when you have
a fuIlness of the stomach or feel dull
and stupid after eating, take one of
Chamberlain's Tablets. Many severe
cases of stomach trouble and constipa-
ton nave ben cured by the use of these
tablets. They are easy to take and
most agreeable in effect. Sold by all
druggists. (Ady.)

The Trouble in
the Balkans.

The signing Of the treaty of peace
between the Balkan allies and Turkey
does not seem to have entirely closed
up the middle in southeastern Europe.
While this may end the war in Tur-
key it may be the signal for fresh strife
among the allies. All efforts of Russia
to bring about better understanding
between Bulgaria and Servia, appar-
emily have failed and trouble is feared.
In the meantime the allies are throw
ing enough troops into Macedonia to
occupy the disputed territory.
Relations between Greece and Bull
garia are strained, to say the least.
The Bu1gars refuse to establish a neu-
trail zone at Salonik where the Greek
premier is waiting to meet the Bull
garian commander. This conference is
expected to check the Bulgarian army
officers who seem to be acting in de-
fance of the home government.
Whatever else happens, Turkey seems
to be out of it, with the loss of most
of her European possessions, with the
powerful exception of Constantinople.

tomatoes, cucumbers, and melons.
There is considerable rust among the
melons and blight in the tomatoes; all
the unsprayed crops are going to suffer
more or less. 1 would like to impress
upon all truckers in the strongest pos
sible terms the necessity of using the
spray very freely on all truck crops.
There is an over production of most
truck crops and owing to lack of or
ganiz2tion among the truckers Of the
county, from twenty-five to fifty per
cent of the truck crops produced are
allowed to go to waste. The rUckerS
should be organized so that they could
grasp a situation of that kind and ship
the surplus to other markets, or have
a canning factory to turn extra pro-
duction into canned goods, for which
there is always a demand.
when we get the public market and
clearing house in Pensacola, 1t will
remedy the present condition entirely.
Meantime, those having a surplus that
is difficult to dispose OF, if they will
communicate with c. f. Geek, presi-
dent of the Crop Improvement Asso-
citation, or Leland J. Henderson, sec
rotary of the commercial association,
and say what they have and how
much Of it, perhaps they can be helped
to a market"

BOIL WEEv|L
IN ESCAMb|A
OBSTRUCTIVE INSECT HAS AP-
FEARED HERE AND COTTON
LESS SOMETHING is DONE
SOON.

C. K. McQuarrie, field agent of the
Escambia County Crop Development
Association, was in Pensacola yester-
day and to a journal representative
he exhibited in a bottle several very
live samples of boil weevil taken from
a cotton field which he visited the day
previous.
Mr. McQuarrie says that unless
something is done soon the cotton crop
in Escambia county will be damaged
from so to 10 per cent this year.
The boil weevil, he says, can be de-
stroyed, but the ultimate solution of
the problem is to quit growing cotton
and plant corn and other crops that
pay better even when the boil wcevil
is not in evidence.

Comic Opera
War in Mexico.

Down in barbarous Mexico, the peo-
pie look on revolution as an occupa-
tion. Soldiers only join any of the
various armies when they believe they
can make more money than at farm
ing or mining But the stage is set
continuously for battle and these So
called fights are usually pulled of in
plain view Of the American border.
They are only comic opera battles and
do not draw larger audiences than bull
fights. but they are usually attended
with fewer fatalities.
We read where at once place 200
men. perhaps, are defending certain
positions and where at some other
strategic point 100 men are engaged in
battle. The army of General Huerta
Is said to be 1000 strong.
And yet Mexico Is a rich and popu-
lous country. She has infinitely more
men and resources than she had rs
years ago. but General Santa Anna
hurled 10000 men against General
Zachary Taylor. Were there any
unanimity of feeling in Mexico or any
real governmentaor even a decent sized
rebellion. an army of 100000 men could
easily be mustered in.

and found crops in a very satisfactory
condition. The season so far has been
ideal for crop growth, just enough rain
70 prevent drought, and not too much
20 cause surface washing.
THE corn crop promises to be the
best in a number of years, and where
good and well selected seed was used
above the average. ] hope those
farmers with such prom Sing crops viii,
not stop the cultivation of the crop
when they have given il three or four
workings, but keep up the CutliVat alton
until the silk is brown on the ear; this
cultivation should be very shallow, in
fact, the last two workings can be
done with a board, the width of the
row, bolted on a scooter stock; all
that is necessary is to keep a fresh
dust mulch on the land to prevent
evaporation of moisture and supply the
roots of the crop with fresh oxygen.
The older methods of giving the corn
crop so many workings and laying it
by, do not belong to modern agricu,-
ture; it is like one of last years maya
zines-a back number
The cotton crop is also promising
we'll, but it is too early to say how the
boil weeVil is going to affect it; those
that are chopping to three and four
feet between hills will have a better
show for overcoming the weevirs raw
ages than those that will persist in the
old distance of fifteen to eighteen
inches.
There is going to be a large acre
age of sweet potatoes Planted and the
hay crop will be a large one, if condi-
tions remain favorable.
Sugar cane is not looking so well
in some fields as it should; the cold
wet weather of early spring gave it a
backset that it has not got over yet;
frequent cultivation would help it very
much, however.
The truck crops are generally in a
very promising condition, particularly

Another Republican Plot
for Popularity.

Week after week and month after
month the defeated and discredited re-
publicans are connecting new schemes
that will rehabilitate and popularize
their wrecked party. The plan brought
to light in the announcement of Rep
resentative Gardner. of Massachusetts,,
of his candidacy for the Craftsmanship
of the republican congressional COM
mittee was a sample.
Mr.. Gardner claims to be very pro-
gressive. He says he knows the old
timers do not like him but he believes
the committee should be overhauled.
1t is a part of the plan to bring out a
standpatter against Gardner and let
Gardner defeat him. After he has
beaten a reactionary of the most pro-
nouncsd Cannon type, he can proclaim
the republican party as having very
advanced ideas of progressivism and;
&C before the country to make an ap-
peal along those lines. There may be
some difficulty in getting victim as
very few prominent reactionaries relish
being publicly repudiated even for the
good OF the party.
Whatever may be the result, the re-
publican party viii continue to stand
for the interests. A really repentant
republican would leave the party.

A bin has been introduced in the
California legislature looking towards
the division Of the state. 1t is pro-
posed to cut off the seven southern
counties. known as the "seven sisters"
and form new state, to be called
South California. California is about
1900 miles long and with the excep-
ton Of Texas, is the largest state in
the union. Texas, however, when she
was admitted to the union, reserved
the right to be divided into four states
should she SO desire. But the people
of Texas are fond of their large state
and do not want division.
