Western Inventor Devises an Aerial
Torpedo That Gives Promise

What may eventually prove to be a
highly effective war implement, and, II
so, possibly render present heavy ar
tillery obsolete for long-range opera
lions, is q seif-controlled aerial tor
pedo that has lately been developed in
Colordo. 1t Is described in the Au-
gust number of Popular Mechanics
Magazine. In a general way, the in
strument attempts to accomplish over
hand what the United States navy's
new wireless torpedo does at sea. Its
principle and method of operation, of
course, are entirely different. AS Is
to be inferred, Ii consists Of small
aircraft-much like an ordinary, BIZ
plane carrying a large, high-explosive
torpedo which II Is designed to drop
nj any predetermined spot within a
certain radius. The projectile, which
is about twelve feet In length, forms
the body OF the machine and is divided
Into two compartments. The propel-
Ter Is mounted ut the front end of it,
while the shaft extends through the
entire torpedo to the rear compart.

CHAPTE XIV.

When Duane reached the crossing of
the roads the name Fairfield on the
sign post seemed to be the thing that
tipped the oscillating balance Of de-
cision in favor of that direction.
He answered here to unfathomable
impulse. If he had been driven to hunt
up JEFF Aiken. now he was called to
find this unknown ranger captain. In
Duane's state Of mind clear reasoning,
common sense, or keenness were out
of the question. He went because he
felt he was compelled.
Dusk had fallen when he rode into a
town which inquiry discovered to be
Fairfield. Captain MacNelly's camp
was stationed Just out of the village
limits on the other side.
No one except the boy Duane ques-
toned appeared to notice his arrival
Like Shirley, the town Of Fairfield was
large and prosperous, comrared to the
innumerable hamlets dotting the vast
extent of southwestern Texas. AS Du-
ane rode through, being careful to get
off the main street, he heard the toll
ing of church bell tina was a melan-
choly reminder of his old home.
There did not appear to be any camp
on the outskirts Of the town. But, as
Duane sat his horse, peering around
and undecided what further move to
make, he caught the CLINT Of Pickering
lights through the darkness. Heading
towards them, he rode perhaps quar-
ter of a mile to come upon a grove of
mesquite. The brightness of several
fires made the surrounding darkness
all the blacker. Duane saw the moving
forms Of men and heard horses. He
advanced naturally, expecting any mo-
ment to be halted.

! call out Of the gloom.

MUST QUIT EATING
CROP BEFORE MADE
South Must Stop Time-Honored sys-
tenn Of Economic Suicide,
Says h. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special)- 1.-THE peo-
I pie of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-called cash crop
before it is made if they ever expect
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and luXuries of life due
them," says H. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president Of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and fore
most authority on farm conditions In
the southeast.
The south must stop forever its
time-honored system of economic sui
cide," says Mr.. Hastings. Advance
steps we're made last year toward q
condition Of farm independence in the
Cotton Belt They were forced steps,
it is true, but they marked an advance
just the same, and more bread and
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffs were made in
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens of thousands of farm
ers better off than in past years,
despite short crops and business de-
preston.
with higher cotton prices, 1t is
going to be a great temptation to
drop back into the old habit of put
ting cotton, or whatever other cash
crop one may be growing, in pawn
for bread and meat, We are suffer
ing today from the old system fore
ed on us 0y conditions following the
Civil war, necessary then, but unnec-
essary now.
Year after year we have stayed In
the same old rut as a matter of habit,
eating our crops, so to sR@ak5> before
they were made, a 6nancially suicidal
policy for the faEer, each year put
ting his nose a little closer to the
credit grindstone.
"If the south had not been 80 rich
in natural resources, this system
would have bankrupted US long ago.
What's the answer? 1t is home pro-
duction by each farmer of every dol
lars worth of food and grain supplies
needed on his farm that it is pOssi-
BILE to grow on his own acres. This
means good big home gardens; hogs,
chickens, cows and something to feed
them on through the year."
