The true story of Poland may never be written, the facts may never reach the outside world But those who have any i'm agination at all may picture the ter ribie things that have happened and are happening. And all such people will lend helping hand to those so-
 iciting aid for suffering Poland.

LOCAL FIRM TO BID

 to Submit Figures

Aaron G. Cohen and Nels J. Nelson, of the Cohen Motor Car company, are at present figuring on bids for the construction of 300 aeroplanes for the United States army Signal corps The local men have the complete specifi- cations as sent by Alvin C. Voris of the 22nd United States Infantry and will send in their bids to the govern ment on October 12. Mnufacturers from all over the country are to bid for this contract, which calls for the delivery of eight complete aeroplanes within forty-fve days after the con- tract is awarded and one every ten days from then on. The bids are to be made out sectionaIly, in lots of six, nine and twelve.
 In view of the fact that so many big manufacturers are to bid on this con- tract, the chances are that it will be awarded to some concern which has sufficient financial assets to warrant their offering very attrac ctive rates. but the fact that the government has seen fit to recognize the ability of the local men is a distinction in it. self. Should the local men be award ed the contract they will raise suffi- cient capital and immediately secure the use of some factory and begin work immediately.
 Prominent Aviators Coming. MT. Cohen has just returned from New York where he spent several days on a business trip and while there he was in conferences with Stanley Y. Beach, head of the aero plane department of the Scientific American, and a Russian aviator named Hollander.
