CAPTAIN CHANDLER ONE or BEST KNOWN
ARMY AvIATORs.
In the handling OF It's aeroplanes and
in reconnaissance work The army
must look to itself and to the men OF
the organized militia to supply rea-
sonable number of officers for military
aviation In case OF necessity This
1t Ii not n question SO much of sup
plying aviators for a great war as 1t
is for supplying these military scouts
to accompany expeditionary forces or
any military movement that may be
undertaken, and also to provide rea-
sonahle number for the defense from
aerial attack Of such vulnerable posi-
tons as Corregidor island in the Phil
ippines, and the Panama canal.
"The work performed by the signal
corps In aviation during the past few
years has been inconspicuous. but 1t
has been very great, Something has
been created from nothing since the
summer OF 1900, when Orville Wright
succeeded In winning bonus OF 81. 900
offered by the signal corps for n flight
OF Ave miles out and five miles back
from Fort Mycr, Va. Much data has
been compiled ON the strength OF ma
terials, aerial forces. uses OF radio
telegraphy as applied to aeronautics.
but most OF all the knowledge OF en-
gines for aeroplanes and the proper
types OF these machines have been
carefully worked out and valuable re-
suits have been obtained through the
efforts OF officers OF the signal corps
and those associated with them. Every
thing Is prepared now for rapid prog
ress and practical results IL the en-.
enlargement asked from congress IL
extended
'The pilot of the aeroplane, for whom
we all have the highest respect. Is the
fighting man OF the machine. He Is
the man behind the gun. but from the
nature OF things he must be young,
venturesome officer. generally without
the knowledge of administrative and
technical matters. which can only come
with years OF experience and study,
and then only to men of n certain type
Of mentality"
In conclusion, the signal corps or
Gals give the opinion that the work OF
aeronautics In the United States army
should be carried out along its present
lines of development. and that the
work should receive every reasonable
aid and encouragement by congress.

Potatoes Still Rolling In.

Here is II news item which shows
that north central Wisconsin is becom-
ing great potato growing section. 1t
is taken from The Bee, printed at
Phillips, Price county. and edited by
George Foster formerly of this city:
THE potato business Is still booming
in this city and there are many farmers
hauling to market daily. The price has
advanced few cents the past week
In conversation with Mr.. Bowen. rep
resentative for the Cochrane concern of
Portage, he said that he thought it was
n very conservative estimate when he
figured that between forty and fifty
carloads of potatoes would be shipped
out of here this fall. That means about
$4,000 bushels or $4,000 in money.
That is certainly fine showing. 1t
will be rememb, red that it is only a
few years ago that the shipping of pc.
tatoes commenced in this city The
industry has grown very rapidly doub-
ling the output each year.

that the stallion 80 designated is at

He makes every possible effort to get
all the news there is, but some people
act as though they are trying just as
hard to keep him from getting the
news, and then if an item happens to
appear in the paper the week after it
happened. some of these smart fools
will turn up their smellers and call
the editor a back number" "slow

and a lot of other not very compile

as though we don't care continental

might contain more items of interest

Has Iowa No Crops "To Mover"

In the recent apportion of
the secretary of the treasury seems to
have put some queer estimates on the
states that grow the crops that require
moving, says the Cedar Rapids Repub
lican.
For instance Iowa received a grand
total Of $1,O000OO, while the District
of Columbia, which is a little larger
than one Iowa county, received half a
million to move it's crops, which con-
sist largely of garden truck and poll
ticians. The great state of Maryland,
adjacent to the District of Columbia,
received $2,SOO,0O0, nearly three times
as much as Iowa and Maryland prob
ably raises enough of crops that need
moving to wad modern ID inch bat
tleship gun. The state OF Missouri,
where the corn was all burnt up, re-
ceived an even $5,000,000, or five
times as much as Iowa. Louisiana re-
ceived $2,600,00O. and what do they
have to move compared with Iowa?
Even such states as North Carolina,
with $1.6O0,O0O, Tennessee with ST.
$4,000, Virginia with $1,45O,0o0, South
Carolina with $1,500.00O, Kentucky
with $1,65O,0O0, Georgia with $780,
900 and Ala bama with $1,500,000 were
all placed ahead of Iowa, and yet it
is conceded that Iowa has more crops
to move and more agricultural wealth
than any two or three Of the states
named.
The distribution of that fund for
the moving of crops was more tinan-
cial and political than anything else.
The bulk of thy money went to the
southern bankers 1t was put up un-
der the guise of a crop moving
scheme but it smacks loudly of fay
oritism for certain states that have
few crops to move, but that have
great many politicians to appease.-
