OCTOBER SERIES OF
BUREAU MEETINGS
START MONDAY

With meeting at Verde school
house on Monday night the County
Farm Bureau will begin its October
series of farm center meetings. The
September meetings brought out to-
tai attendance exceeding any other
month heretofore and farm bureau Of
ficers declare the meetings are now
thoroughly established as community
institutions.
In making announcement Of the
Verde center meeting, its president,
James N. Cook, says the routing OF
the transcontinental highway will be
considered from a local standpoint.
Verde is about half way between CAL
exico and Holtville and is interested
in bringing the state highway through
it's territory. Representatives from
holtville and Calexico will be invited
tC. attend.
Farm Advisor Dougherty will give
az illustrated talk on animal diseases
and their control, and Waltz Grass, as
sistant farm advisor, will speak upon
tuberculosis in dairy cows and hogs.
Verde is one of the leading dairy Sec
tions of the valley, and that its ranch
ers are progressive is indicated by
the fact that nearly complete unit
for a cow testing association has
been formed there already.
Phil Brooks, receiver Of the U. S.
land office in Ell Centro, who has
made a thorough study of the work
ing of the Torrens title system will
also attend the Verde meeting and
speak upon that subject. President
Cook has also arranged social pro-
gram with music to round out the
evening.

REVISION WOULD

PRAYER
(By United Press.)

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 3O.-Promin-
ent clergymen and laymen of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church were gather
ing here today for the opening tomor-
rcw of the church's triennial conven-
ton which will continue through the
month.
A subcommittee of the commission
on revising the Book of Common
Prayer will recommend the omission
from the Lords Prayer of the words
"For Thine is the Kingdom and the
Power and the Glory Forever, Amen.'
In requesting the omission the SUBJ
committee will say the words consti-
tute a part of the Doxology added by
early translators and that they are
not in the original text of the Holy
Scriptures.
The omission, if adopted, will make
the Episcopal version of the prayer
identical with the Roman Catholic. 1t
is expected that opposition may de-
velop.

EXPECT CHANGES in
PLAYING RULES
BASE BALL

When the National League magnates
hold their annual meeting in New
York next December the chances are
al attempt will be made to make rad
icai>changes in the playing rules. Some
already being considered are the abol-
ition of the spitball, prevention Of the
use of any foreign substance on the
ball by pitchers and changing the foul
strike rule so that either the first or
second foul will not be strike.
Some Of the magnates, too, are in
favor of giving Philadelphia a ground
rule, making a fair hit ball which
bounces over the short and low left
field fence at the Philadelphia ball
lot, two Dagger instead of home
run as at present. 1t is possible that
other parks will be considered for a
similar change.

BRITISH CENTRAL FLYING
SCHOOL, Sept. 5. (by mali) Nest
led down amid barren creases of land
on the edge of great plain was dis
covered by the British eagle eyrie.
By courtesy of the British Foreign
Office, the United Press correspond
ent was able to spend the day among
a massive "nest" of buildings where
young eaglets learn to combat the
double eagle Of Germany. 1t takes
about eight weeks for one Of these
young Britishers to develop from an
unsteady yellow fuzzy creature into
a defiant gray bird of prey. Usually
two months tuition in and around
these flying school buildings sends a
young flying bird direct to the firing
line in France, where his still grow
ing wings are put to the actual test
c1 war.
A group of large hangers sur
rounding concrete fortlike building
all constructed since the beginning
O. the war-loomed up suddenly over
a hill as an international party of
journalists motored onto the plain.
The scene might have come out Of the
movies from Arizona or New Mexico.
Tho h,Ii1dinUS mipht have heen one of
those newly constructed movie towns.
Americas infantile flying service
could learn lot at this British fly
ing station. Much of the equipment
which made the British "nest' came
from the United tSates, but the
knowledge-the more important part
came from Northern France. "pro-

classes at fixed hours of the day,
didn't learn from books. They dragged
their knowledge from the school of
actual experience since August, 1914.
A Providence, R. l., firm could fur
nish any American eagle "nest" with
big lathes such as were seen today in
one of the big buildings where air stu
dents are taught some of the techni-
cal points of learning to fly. There
were aeroplane engines, blocked up for
de emonstration, which came to England
from well known engine firm in Con-
necticut. Another building housed
sewing machines for stitching fabric
for aeroplane wings. These sewers
bore name known in every Ameri-
can household. Neat little guns, peer
ing over blunt noses Of fast mono
planes, spat their first test bullet on
American soil. Somewhere else in the
camp, the wireless was buzzing away.
The slow dots and dashes were dis
tinctly heard from double headpiece
which the correspondent adjusted to
his ears.
"That's the German wireless at
Nauen sending it's daily wheeze to
Sayville, L. I. and elsewhere" replied
a student wireless operator.
There are other American things in
the eagles nest"
When young eagles soar to great
heights and aim their dummy prac-
tice bombs at slowly moving objects
on the ground, these objects are often
buglike harvesting machines reaping
yellow wheat in fields which skirt the
edge of the plain. The harvesters are
never bombed, but they make excellent
"aiming" and represent what at the
front would probably be an enemy gun.
