New York, Jan. 1e.-Our republic

In agriculture she must initiate
Denmark, Belgium, Holland, Britain

outlook for the new year.
'The .bituminous coal production
of the country is the very best
barometer by which to gauge the in
dustriaI condition of the country. The
production of coal for the calendar
year just closed will exceed that of
the previous year by from 30,000,000
to 100000 tons. Increased produc-

activity all along the lines"

through the bill of Congressman James
Hay of Virginia that it has been given
an official status in the aviation section
of the signal corps. 1t is safe to say
that from this beginning there will be
results which will show exceptional

been essentially successful. The army
force Of aeroplanes. with the exception
of those needed in Hawaii and the
Philippines. has been kept on the bor-
der between Texas and Mexico, though
mobilized and in such shape that on
twenty minutes notice they might be
sent to any point
Under the Hay bill the aviation Sec
ton will consist of not over sixty com
missioned line officers with rank be-
low that of captain. as well as 260 en-.
listed men. These shall he detailed for
periods Of four years. The officers.
who will first go through preparatory
course as aviation students, will be
selected on the recommendation of the
chief signal officer from among the
unmarried lieutenants Of the army
who are not over thirty years of age.
but they shall not be assigned to such
service against their will.
1t is further provided. on account OF
the extremely hazardous character OF
the service, that each aviation student.
when he shall commence to make
fights. shall receive increased pay.
and there is increased pay for the en-
listed men too.
After the passage of the Hay bill
only officers and men who have passed
an examination before board com
posed OF three officers of experience
in aviation and two medical officers
may be admitted to the aviation corps
At the present time the qualification
for positions as military aviators are
severe. as the applicant must not only
be able TO handle an aeroplane under
any and all conditions. but must also
have shown himself as especially eff
icient as military observer.

SLEEPS IN COFFIN TO
BALK UNDERTAKES
Nebraska Man Hopes He'll Die
In CaSket.

Lincoln, Neb.-Every night in the
year e. T. Hunger. formerly chief OF
police of Lincoln, sleeps In his coffin
The homemade box stands on the
front porch of the Hunger residence.
and at night. after the neighbors have
gone to bed, "Old Man" Hunger goes
out and climbs into the box. II the
weather is cold or if shower comes
up he pulls the top Of the coffin over
the opening. leaves crack through
which he can get little fresh air and
calmly goes to sleep. Mr.. Hunger Is
now seventy-six years old, and for
many years he has been sleeping In
his coffin.
And | made that coffin myself. too."
he says proudly. Costs too much to
die in these days. So just thought
I'd play a joke on the undertakers and
make my own coffin while ! was well
enough to do it. So | got me some
inch plank about foot wide and sew
eral pieces of 2 by a. put the latter
at each corner to make the box stable.
and then | nailed it together with
eight penny nails. Whole thing cost
me less than IS. but it's strong enough
to hold man about my size without
any trouble. And won't these under
takers be mad when | die and they
can't get any of my money!
The Hunger home sits back from the
street, and there are trees all around
1t. In the summer these trees shade
the porch and the grewsome object
cannot be seen plainly. But when win
ter strips the limbs and branches Mr.
Hunger's homemade coffin can be seen
by all passersby.
For more than twenty years Mr
Hunger was a constable in Lincoln
and is one of the best known men In
the city. But the fact that he sleeps
in his coffin every night is fact known
to few others than his neighbors and
close friends.
