ADD FLYING WHALES
TO GERMAN ARMY
BY c. w. Ackerman,

With General Won Linsingen's
Armies on the Russian Front, Aug.
20--(By Mail) Germany has added
flying whales to her other war Won
ders of the air. A hundred yards
away these new aeroplanes look like
giant fish, with double fms, which
have Topped out OF water and lie
stranded on their bellies on the sand.
They have four big eyes on each side.
High in the air they are the most
startling creatures have seen on
any front. They look like the flying
fish one sees on the ocean, many
times magnifed.
On close examination you discover
an aeroplane standing about eight
feet from the ground The wings are
those OF the ordinary aeroplane. but
the body Is shaped like that OF fiat
fish. The motor is enclosed In the
head and at the sides. where the eyes
OF the fish would be. are two win
dows. The operator or observer can
look out from above the flsh's back
or from the sides through the eyes,

possibly carrying more details Of the
aeroplane's construction.)
These flying whales have greater
speed, more bomb carrying capacity
and quicker action than any other
biplanes in Europe. officers at the
German aviation camp told me.
The one I saw was not large. The
Germans have other aeroplanes much
larger, equipped with two motors and
carrying three or four persons, but
for purposes Of combat the flying
whales" can not be equaled. even by
the famous French Nieuport ma

FARMER SMITHS ENDORSE
MENT.

How to grow corn is no longer an
experiment with Farmer" Smitn. He
has got it down to an exact science.
He looks at the soil. gives due con-
sideration to the climatic conditions,
then prescribes just as q physician
might prescribe il called INTO csn.
sultation. Smith has seen Rogue
valley and he has soaked In a whole
lot OF Rogue valley climate. And
when he says that he can tell our
farmers hof to grow 125 bushels OF
corn upon an acre OF ground" 1t is
q pretty safe bet that he can do 1t.
Farmer" Smith says that fertility
is required to grow this much corn
to an acre, and that fertility can be
added II livestock is kept. There
fore, he advocates diversified farm
ing. dairying COWS. hogs. beets, corn.
etc. He also says that irrigation
must be intelligently practiced.
One Of the things that Smith seems
to think is the trouble with southern
Oregon is the fact that "it is too easy
. country to make a living fn," as he
expresses It. County fairs give life
to competition and competition brings
endeavor. The county fair is there
fore one Of the greatest agencies for
the developing OF community, and
Smith believes in the county fair. He
pronounces the Josephine fair as
fine one, and when he characterizes
an individual grange exhibit as the
most diversified ana as containing
the best examples OF products Of the
soil that he has ever seen brought
together in a community exhibit, the
statement means more than just SO
many words. For Smith has seen
fairs in all parts OF the United States
II Is an endorsement that has quality.
Josephine county has now a reputa
tion TO live up to.

ALLEGE GERMANS
CREATE ILL SPIRIT

London, Sept. 21.--German pro-
pagandists are attempting to stir up
bad feeling between the United States
and Great Britain by the circulation
OF false charges regarding the British
censorship. the British foreign office
declared in a statement to the United
Press today.
The German Wireless News
agency, indeed the whole system OF
German propaganda, loses no oppor-
tunity of endeavoring to create Ill
feeling between England and the
United States" said the foreign office.
when the facts can not be so dis
torted as to serve the German pur-
pose. no scruples stand III the way
OF deliberate mendacity. A recent
wireless message stated that veterans
OF the American Civil war residing In
Germany had failed to receive their
pensions for several months, alleging
that they had been distracted by the
British censors. The allegation that
British censors confiscated moneys
intended for such persons is wholly
false. II can not be stated too en-
phatically that notwithstanding the
contraband proclamations and efforts
made to intercept funds en- route to
Germany for war loan or other pur-
poses. his majesty's government has
given strict instructions that no re-
mittances from the United States to
either Germany or Austria shall be
withheld when there is reason to sup
pose that such remittances are in
tended for the bona fide maintenance
OF American citizens in enemy coun-
try"
