BIG AERoPLANE IN WAR
America, Which Was to Fly Atlantic
Shipped to England

New York. Sept. SO.-The mann
moth aeroplane. America, which
Lieut.. Porte had expected to fly
across the Atlantic, was shipped to
England today aboard the Mau etania
and, it is said, will be used by the
British government for war service
The America, said to be the world S
most powerful aeroplane, was tested
at Hammondsport, n. Y, last sum
mer before the European war crisis
caused postponement of the pro
posed flight. On one occasion the
America few with IA men and a
quantity of gasoline aboard, her lift
approximating 1000 pounds. She was
equipped with two 100 horse power
engines and plans were in the max
ing to add third engine of the same
power to her equipment.
Lieut. John c. Porte, who expected
to make the trip across the Atlantic
in the America, was an officer in the
British navy. Soon after war was
declared he returned TO England
The impression prevailed here this
afternoon that because of his famili
arity with the working OF the Ameri
ca he might be selected as her pilot
should she be used for military pur
poses.
Officials of the Cunard line, when
asked this afternoon TO name the in
dividual or firm in England to which
the America had been consigned, de
clined to do so, saying the aeroplane
had been shipped by a well known
firm in this city, TO order"
1t was understood that the aero
plane had been purchased by a pri
vate individual and would be turned
over to the British government upon
its arrival in Liverpool. II was fur
Their reported that several Other
aeroplanes OF the same type as the
America had been ordered by thu
Americas purchaser. and that these
too, would be presented to the Brit

CUTTING ENsILAGE CORN

There is a tendency among many
farmers to cut corn for ensilage be-
fore the corn is sufficiently mature.
Corn is at it's best for silage when
the kernels are we'll dented and the
upper leaves Of the stalk are still
green. Sometimes on account Of
drought, most of the lower leaves
will be dry before the grains have
dented. In such cases it is much bet
ter to allow the kernels to mature
sufficiently than to cut the corn too
soon. It is necessary that the silage
be moist enough to pack we'll in the
silo, and, if the corn stalks and leaves
are rather dry when the kernels are
properly matured for silage making,
the corn should be wet before it is
run through the silage cutter. It is
true the silage may be more palat-
able if the corn is cut while the stalks
and leaves are green, but the feeding
value of the silage may be increased
from 10 to 20 per cent by allowing the
corn to stand in the field one week.

LITCHFIELD

(The following account of the
death of Mrs. Grace White, formerly
of Litchfield, is taken from the Char
don, O., Republican:)
Grace Lillian Strong was the Oldest
of five children born to Otis B. and
Mary E. Strong. She was born April
9, 1877, and died Aug. "a, 1914. She
attended he public schools of her ma
tive town until she went to Oberlin,
where she completed four years ac-
edemic course. Afterward she taught
several terms in the public schools,
and always was a student and great
reader.
On May 8, 1914, she was married to
Howard E. White, and went at once to
live in her husbands home in Litch-
field, o. There she found kind neigh
bors, and made many warm friends,
by whom she will be sorely missed.
At an early age she united with the
Cong. Church of Huntsburg, and after
her removal to Lichfield she and her
husband became members of the
Cong. Church there. She was ever a
faithful attendant and worker in the
church, w. C. T. U. and C. E., and a
teacher for many years in the Sunday
school. She held the Office of church
clerk, and her husband was deacon.
Her death came suddenly without a
moments warning. She was seeming
ly enjoying vigorous and robust
health. While STOPPING over to pick
up a garment she fell forward. Mrs.
Julia Evans, her aunt, who was Wis
iting her, called to her husband. He
came and laid her on a bed, but life
was extinct. She was gone without a
word. The. doctor summoned said
death was instantaneous, and due to
heart disease. Mrs. Whites funeral
was conducted by her pastor, Rev.
Steele, in her home, and her body was
brought to Huntsburg for burial be-
side her mother. Friends gathered at
the grave, where the burial service
was read, and comforting words spok-
en- by the pastor of her old home
church, Rev. T. P. Thomas.
Mis-. White was industrious, and
had CHEEKY word and mile for every |
one. Her favorite hymn was "Sun-
shine in My Soul" Her husband and |
little daughter Edna, aged 7; her
father, O. B. Strong, and, brothers
George and Rhea, and sister, Mrs.
John S. White, are left to mourn her
loss.

instruction in poultry raising will
be given for the first time in the Agri.
cultural Extension Schools conducted
by the College of Agriculture this
year. These schools of five days each
will begin November 16 and be held in
As different counties. At each Of
the As schools special instruction will
be given on how to raise poultry in a
practical, economical, common-sense
manner. Poultry raising is an all-the
year-round business and when carried
on properly is profitable and fas-
cinating work for a man, woman, boy,
or girl. Success in the poultry bust

piled that the sash seemed as supple
as the velvet itself instead of being
heavy and unwieldy as the jettec
fabrics of other days.
Another stunning costume was
made with flaring lower skirt, as
we'll as the body of the jacket, of this
jetted material. The sleeves and
tunic were of velvet. The wide vel
vet collar had band Of fitch around
it.
Cloth of gold and silver are also
used extensively. A wonderful gown
of black satin had a tunic of cloth of
gold and a wide satin girdle, or sash
of black satin, swathed the waist, the
ends being tied in a careless bow at
the back of the left hip in the midst
of which nestled a bright red rose.
Another wonderful costume, in part
like an Egyptian dancing girls cos
tune, the bodice like a coat Of mail,
had a plain, but not tight-ftting
wal of steel and gold paillettes,
reminding one of the wonderful old
steel armors, inlaid and embossed so
beautifully with gold. The waist
reached to the widest point of the
hips, where the Egyptian effect of the
costume commenced in a clinging
foundation skirt of white, over which
hung tunic Of gold lace. Strands of
heavy, glossy jet were looped from the
waist and hung low, making the tunic
swing and sway in peculiar Oriental
manner. Offsetting this Oriental
note queer narrow train, edged with
band Of fur, was so arranged that
in the event of dancing it could be
easily caught up and mingled with the
under-draperies in an unnoticeable
manner.
The skirts Of tailored suits and
dresses are worn full short, just below
the shoe-tops being considered quite
conservative length. The plain
skirts are fuller, though many have
their width confined by band of fur
just above the hem, making the part
of the skirt showing below quite like
a ruffle.
The cape effect continues in it's pop
ularity according to these Paris
models, for coats with cape effects in
the back and quaint shoulder capes
were seen on some of the smartest
garments. A costume in red velvet
was strong reminder of the scarlet
robe of cardinal with it's round
shoulder capes edged with beaver. A
five-inch strip of this same fur banded
the skirt above the hem.
Beaver, fitch, Persian lamb, and kol-
insky, which is Russian pole-cat and |
resembles sable in color, are The furs
which will be widely used. Tailless
ermine is also used. A stunning opera
cloak of geranium red velvet had an
collar of pure white ermine.
The combination of fabrics contin-
les to be strong style note and in
he first costume illustrated is shown

case of make or break with many oi
them and it Immediately became bat
tie Of wits, for no one desired to leave
without their purchases, and interest
ing stories are told of the tenacity
md ingenuity displayed.
One enterprising New York dress
maker from the regions of Fifth Ave
nue. persuaded her party of four to
discard all but the absolute necessi-
ties and carry some of her models in
their hand-grips. She also bought a
number Of very personal looking
pieces Of hand-luggage and filled
them as well. Imagine their con-
sternatiOn when at the station the
next morning at six o'clock there were
1000 pieces Of baggage ahead of
them and the officials refused to take
any more. However, with judicious
tip here and there, they were at last
checked; but instead of being put on
the train for London, they were acci-
dentally placed on the train for Liege.
Madam sank back and famed her
self until her reason returned to her
and then she concluded that as they
were plainly marked London she
would hope that they would get there,
and they did.
Quite different was the spirit of
London. The horrors of war had
not touched it in the same way it had
Paris. In Paris an entire establish
ment was closed in the morning, be-
cause the husband or brother of an
Omp'oye had gore to the front, only to
open again in the afternoon, while
ever all brooded suspense not at the
time felt in London, where enthusi-
aSm reigned. In London, the children
formed into little regiments and
marched in the streets, with sticks
for guns and tin-pans for drums, and
the authorities, realizing the contag-
ion of 4pOntaneous enthusiasm, en-
deavored to let them go their way un-
checked.
But to return to clothes.
Some of these garments brought
back with such difficulty have at last
reached us, and a few very few, open
ings are the consequence. As long as
the uncertainty Of this conflict contin-
nes each importation may be the last
for some time, and therefore Is of
double interest

an indefinite period was startling IN
