LACK OF PLANES AND AyIAToRs

thiclahd lareLng OaFls IN the Met
ropelitan Magazine.)
Of all the weapons produced by this
war, the aeroplane is the most efici-
ent. 1t protects, it destroys, it fights.
It is the super spy, super scout, super
belligerent. Without it the army and
navy are blind.
And at .he present moment, in the
event Of war, Of aeroplanes to protect
our ninety million people, our coast
line Of thirty thousand miles, to pro-
tect the Philippines, Hawaii and the
Panama Canal, to direct our army and
navy, we have exactly twelve.
In n factory in Buffalo they are
each day turning out for the Allies
more aeroplanes than are owned by
cur combined army and navy.
OF ayiators all told, counting those
in the army and navy, the five who
are serving with the French army,
amateurs, and those professionals who
give exhibitions at state fairs, we can
depend on seyenty-fve. We need ESQ.
We should begin TO train them now.

vested Many Of TIE members have
taken the short course at the Agri-
cultural college. The feature Of the
bureaus work which has attracted the
most attention is the annual farmers
picnic which was first held 3 years
age when about 300 persons were
present An ali day program is ar
ranged, with practical talks to the
farmers BY men from the state col
iege and board Of agriculture and
from rural churches and schools.
About 500 persons attended the sec
end picnic and al their third held IN
1915, Speaker Champ Clark spoke on
"a Better Rural Life" to more than
1900 people. Every reader knows
what a Missouri basket dinner for
that number Of people is like; If they
have not experienced its pleasures
they have missed one Of the grea.
treats Of life. The afternoon had fea-
lures TO interest everyone old and
young. There was a horseshoe pitching
contest; a baseball game for the
young men; Sam Jordan spoke on the
conservation Of the soil; County Sup
%erintendent of Schools Young talked
to the boys on rural school corr clubs,
and there was a class in horse and
mule judging. E. L. Spiller Of Tar
kio, spoke on The Place of the Rural
Church in Community Life" Many
Of the leading business men Of Mexico
and Centralia were present as well as
the farmers for IL to 20 miles around.
President Smith and his eo-laborers
have combined pleasure, instruction
and profit in this annual picnic in such
harmonious relations that they are
attractive to old and young alike.
There was fun, bushels of it; ~instruc-
ton for all, and the inspiration of as
ISOLATION with neighbors and friends,
minus all the Objectionable features
which 50 often make up the principal
part Of the so-called picnics; no catch
penny devices, no petty gambling de-
vices. 1t was a day full Of wholesome
pleasure and instruction. The farm
bureaus activities do not cease with
the picnic, nor in a~rousing better
farming methods. These men are
largely responsible for the organiza-
