Aerial Scouts.

During the present war, the aero.
plane has proved very useful in scout
ing; indeed, the heavier-than-air ma
chine is generally admitted to be su-
perior to the airship for spying out
the position Of the enemy. The aero
plane is less conspicuous; 1t is faster;
It makes a smaller target; It costs al
most nothing to make in comparison
with a dirigible balloon. and 1t can
fly at a higher altitude. Sir John
French pays a high tribute to the aero
plane scouts in one of his interesting
reports on the campaign in France.
"One of the features of the campaign
on our side has been the success of
the Royal Flying corps. In regard to
the collection of information, 1t Is i'm
possible to award too much praise to
our aviators for the way they have
carried out their duties, or to over
estimate the value of the intelligence
collected, more especially during the
recent advances" For the 20 days
that ended on September 10, the Eng

coyote Invades a Home.

Coyotes have been committing many
depredations in Crook county, accord

Of ]. r. Knox was awakened by an
unusual noise upstairs. Mrs. Knox
went into the yard and could see
coyote tearing and biting at the win
dow of the upstairs room in an effort
to get out. Mr.. Knox shot the AMI

An investigation showed that it had
got into the house through a bedroom
window downstairs, the tracks being
plain on the bed that it had climbed
over. The animal went through sew
eral rooms before going upstairs.
