BIG FLYING BOAT is FAST
MccormIck's Craft Covers More Than
Mile a Minute In Hsmmonds-
port, N. ", Trial.

Hammondsport, N. Y.-Harold F.
McCormicks big flying boat designed
by Glenn H. Curtiss. was tried out
here and proved successful beyond
Curtiss' expectations The new flying
boat is large and heavy, as compared
with previous machines of this type
built in America. 1t has q spread of
more than 40 feet and weighs. when
loaded. considerably more than a ton.
The power plant consists of motor
weighing more than 300 pounds and
developing LOG horse power. II was
expected that the boat would be sea.
worthy. but not particularly fast. The
trials proved that 1t would make more
than mile a minute flying in the air
and about so miles an hour when used
as a motor boat in the water.
Mr.. Curtiss made the first trip. ac.
companied by l.. A Villas of Chicago
and another flying boat owner. With.
in hundred yards from the starting
point the boat rose from the water
and sailed gracefully down the lake.
1t is said to be McCormicks inten.
ton TO use the Tying boat between his
office in Chicago and his home at Lake
Forest, % miles distant. The Nc
mick boat was taken back to the fac.
tory for the final touches and will be
ready for shipment to Chicago within
a short time.

Our Amazing Foreign Policy

The Wilson administration, against
the protest OF several of the great
powers. has formally recognized the
new government of China on the other
side of the earth.
The provisional government of Mex.
leo, provided by the regularly elected
Mexican congress-. which has already
been fully recognized by Great Brit.
ain. has not been recognized by the
United States, although, as our next
door neighbor, It has asked for recog-
milton as a help in the suppression Of
insurrection and brigandage.
Our annual trade with China
amounts only to $53,934,931.
Our annual trade with Mexico aggre-
gates s11S,762,442.
Besides. about 10000 American clti-
sens live and carry on business in
Mexico, and more than $1.000.0 900. 900
Of American money is invested there.
II the Chinese government is over
thrown, the United States will not be
seriously or directly involved in the
catastrophe.
II the Mexican government falls rs
q result OF the indifference or hostility
of the United States, the consequences
will be general chaos and such a de-
stsuction OF life and property as may

Should Plan to KIN erasshoppers.

That farmers of upper Wisconsin
are In danger OF a .grasshopper plague
this year. and should take immediate
steps to kill the "hoppers" before they
reach the winged stage. is the state
ment of Prof. J. G. Sanders of the Uni
versity OF Wisconsin college OF agri-
culture, who has returned from trip
to upped Door county. 1t has been
estimated that 5000 farmers in Door
county alone have suffered a loss of
half a million dollars from grasshor-
pers during the last three years.
While the rest Of the state is not
troubled to the same extent as Is the
northern section, grasshoppers are
serious pests in nearly every county
where there are large uncultiyated
areas. and farmers suffer heavy crop
loss every year.
A cheap spray which can be pre-
pared and applied at a cost Of about
80 cents per acre consists of .one
pound Of sodium srsenate and two
quarts Of cheap molasses, dissolved in
60 gallons Of water This should be
applied along rsadsides, the edges Of
fields. ard wherever the grasshoppers
are abuGda2

FOR REUNITED PARTY
MOST EARNEST THOUGHTS OF
ALL REPUBLICANS NEEDED.
Country Requires the Services Of Pa
triotie Organization Which Has
So Thoroughly Proved It's
Worth in the Past.

Report of scheme to capture the
Republican organization for Roose-
velt's nomination in 1916 is important
mainly as illustrating the difficulties
in the way OF reuniting the Repub-
lican party. These obstacles may be
divided into two classes. There is.
first. in each the class whose personal
power and ambition rests in keeping
control OF either Republican or Pro
gressive faction. There is further
the probably much larger class. which
distrusts any proposition for union.
because IL suspects 1t as a cloak to
let the hated enemy into power again.
The reported scheme will affect the
latter class and may be a product of
the first class for that purpose. But
II should be understood that no eff
fective union is to be attained by
nominating any man prominently
identified with either faction in the
quarrel of last year. The Republican
party is now exactly where the Demo-
cratic party was sixteen years ago.
and the experience of that party
showed that the breach could not be
healed by nominating either Bryan
himself second and third time or by
nominating a representative OF the
opposing wing II was only when the
Democracy took up candidate whose
political growth was entirely subse.
quent and extraneous to the develop.
ment of Organism that it was able to
coalesce sufficiently to take advantage
of the Republican split.
Roosevelt would not therefore as a
Republican candidate unite the Repub-
liean party. We might as well talk OF
uniting 1t by renominating Taft. The
same is true of the lieutenants most
prominent In the factional fight.
Dixon. Finn or Clapp on one side or
Root, Penrose or Crane on the other.
Possibly some progressive Republican
Ike Hadley. La Toilette or Cummins
might do 1t. But the probability is
decided that the mutual jealousy and
suspicious will persist. so that there
will be plenty of time for a man to
grow up whose name does not recall
the quarrel of 1912. and who may
therefore unite the Republicans as
Wilson did the Democrats.
But things will have to change de-
cidedly from the preIent aspect II
such plan Of union becomes feasible
before 1920. or perhaps 1924.
