Hangs by One Hnnd 1000 Feet I'm Air

LONDON, Sept 20.-The thrilling
story OF an Australian air pilot who
clung by one hand TO the frame work
OF disabled aeroplane 5000 feet over
the enemy's lines while executing re-
pair with the other, was told here
today by an army officer on leave
OF absence from northern France.
I'VE had crossed the German lines
and the guns were booming at us from
away down below when Cornstock (the
pilot), noticed that our left wing was
fitting down and not responding to the
controls" said the officer. HE swung
out OF the seat to the right side but
the plane continued to tilt and II look
ed as If we were going over sure.
"Cornstock acted quickly. He let
himself down with nothing but thou
sands OF feet beneath him, holding
tight with his right hand and fumb-
ling with the control wires where
they were Jammed under the body OF
the machine. The strain on his right
arm must have been terrific. Sec
onds seemed hours as he swayed there
his legs dangling in the space while
the machine swung over air bumbs'
and levered TO the side. AS a matter
of fact it was all done in an instant.
He was back in his seat, cool as
ever"

ton OF strong competitor for the

When the corn club work Was frat

The corn should be cut when the

fourth OF the husks and lower leaves
are turning brown. II should be as
near maturity as possible and yet con.
tain enough moisture TO insure fer

Either a half inch or three-ouartor

insures less waste and larger pack

Thunder of Guns Drives Man Insane

PARIS, Sept. 20.-Insanity. caused
by the furious bombardments OF the
big guns has become one OF the most
appalling features OF the great war
This grim harvest OF modern war has
just been brought sharply to the pub
lie mind by the establishment OF great
camps in Southern and Western
France for the care OF thousands OF
lunacy by the continuous thunder of
artillery and the nerve-racking ex-
plosions OF millions OF shells.
Since the mighty artillery duel be-
gan north of Arras five months ago
it is estimated that 10000 men have
been driven insane. either temporarily
or hopelessly. by the terrific cannon
AIDES. Since then. when the dueling
with big guns has spread to all sec
uons of the gigantic battle front the
number has been increased.
The foreign troops-those drawn
from Asia and Africa-have proved
the worst sufferers. But the number
OF Frenchmen and Englishmen who
hav been transformed to maniacs by
their experience in the trenches is
larger than has ever before been
known in warfare.
There are many instances where
troops on the side OF the Allies have
been driven insane by the constant
thunder OF their own guns. but the
major number OF cases come from the
trenches which are under the fire OF
the German artillery day and night.
Officer OF the medical corps declare
that the experience OF passing
through the camps for the insane is
more narrowing than visit to the
hospitals where the wounded are
lying.
Practically all OF the lunatics are
unwounded but many OF them, in ad-
dition TO being insane. are deaf and
dumb, their hearing and speech being
shatterd by the roar OF the cannon
and the bursting OF the shells.
1t is estimated unohicially that
there are half million cannon
massed along the 700-mile battle front
and many of these are always I'm

Wig wag Messages Of Peace.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Sept. 1S.--
On the opening day OF the forthcom-
Ing Grand Army encampment In
Washington President Wilson will
wig wag" message OF greeting aud
good will to the veterans visiting the
national capital Mr.. Wilson will not
manipulate the flags for he does not
understand the old Myer code which
was In use by the Union army during
the Civil war. but his welcome will be
translated into the sign language and
sent from station to station about
Washington by survivors OF the Sig
nal corps OF fifty years ago.
Arrangements for the signaling foa-
lures OF the encampment were au-
nounced today by Lieut.. George Carr
Round, the president of u. :. Veter-
ans Signal Corps Association. who
has called upon all members of the
organization who are able to do so to
be present in Washington during en-
campment week. The main station
of the signal corps boys of '6l-'65 will
be upon the heights OF Georgetown In
the extreme western section of Wash
ington and upon the very spot whore
the government had It's signal camps
OF instruction during the war. Mt.
Tabor Methodist church stands there
now and IL will be used as the head
quarters of the corps. From that
point welcomes will be "wig-wagged"
