Washington, June 12.-Aeroplanes

but thousands declared to be the
need of the United States, in testi-
mony given to-day by Rear Admiral
Peary. of the United States Navy, and
Lieutenant Colonel L. W. B. Rees. OF
the British Royal Flying Corps, before
a special Senate subcommittee. Both
urged the passage Of the bills intro
duced in the House of Representatives
bv Representative Murray Hubert, Of
New York, and in the Senate by Mr..
Sheppard, of Texas, providing for
separate Cabinet secretary of aeronau-
tics. to rank with the departments OF
War and Navy.
Much interest was manifested IN the
testimony of Colonel Rees, not only
because it is unusual for a soldier OF
one country TO advise a legislative
committee of another country's ruling
body with regard to how a Cabinet
should be composed, but also because
of the interesting information he gave
the committee with regard to the sltu-
alton abroad. His most striking state
ment in this connection, in making
plea for American fiers, was that
Briton needed many more aviators'

War May Be Won in Air
"Very likely this war will be won
in the air." Representative Hubert
declared. Furthermore. our EURO

more in aeronautics than even they

Think of Mother, Too.

There is so much in the papers
about giving the young people good
time and to be sure to do as they like
in order to keep them at home. But
why is it that seldom is a thought
given in behalf of the tired over
worked mother? Those that are near
est and dearest to mother are being
reared and encouraged to think the
children should have leisure to read,
play, visit, entertain, have good
time, and enjoy life. How about
mother? Oh, she never cares for
such thisgs. She never cares for the
things we young folks like.
But how would it seem to the
young people if mother were sudden
ly called away2 Who then would
take her place at once and minister
to every wish as mother did? Many
times if the wife happens to take up
the paper to read little bit, while
she rests, waiting for the men to
come in to their meals, some men will
begin to fume because she isn't con-
tinually on her feet or with some sew
ing in her hands. Those are the kind
of men that insist on three square

of lye is adopted solely for the pur-
pose of checking the skin of the
fruit so that the gases can escape
more readily and the prune be more
easily dried. In the majority of cas-
es, as good results could be secured
by boiling hot water. There are prob
ably cases, however, where the skin
of the fruit is so thick that it is
difficult to secure as quick and salts
factory results without the use of the
I've. As soon as the prunes have been
dipped into the lye, they are quickly
dipped into clean water. A chemical
analysis of the rinsing waters has
shown that they are generally acid
rather than alkali and it is very
doubtful if lye remains on the fruit
any length of time, or if it does, it
is not sufficient to ever in any way be
injurious to the health. As soon as
the prunes have been thoroughly
dried, they are taken from the driers
and stored in large bins and allowed
to sweat. They are then ready for
the processing. The processing is
largely steaming process. This is
generally done in central buildings
owned or controlled chiefly by the
buyer or packers. The prunes are
submitted to the steam for very
short time. This steaming cleans
and sterilizes the fruits and adds lus-
ter to the product, and can be so
handled as to add considerable
weight. When this is done, however,
it is unscrupulous on the part of the
packer and will sooner or later lead
him into trouble The processing of
the prunes also softens them so that
they can be packed more easily.

WHAT THRIFT CAN DO.

Two items which recently appeared
in the daily news dispatches help to
illustrate the possibilities Of gaining
financial independence through per-
sistent habits of thrift. One told OF
the death of a mail carrier who, al
though his salary never exceeded ST.
200 year, managed to accumulate a
tidy little fortune of 100000. The
other referred to the case of street
car conductor, who passed away leav-
ing an estate even larger than that
of the postoffice employe.
Neither of these men, it is explain
ed, gained his wealth through be-
quests of deceased relatives, nor did
so-called "luck" have anything to
do with it. They simply followed
habits of thrift and persistent saving,
living on something less than their
incomes and steadily adding to the
fund that had been put away for the
proverbially rainy day. Of course,
it does not follow that the fortunes
left by these men represented only
their savings, for it would be quite
impossible for anyone to actually save
100000 from an annual income OF
only $1,000 But both these men got
their start by saving, and when Op-
portunity for profitable investment
came to them they were prepared to
take advantage of such opportunity.
1t possibly is true that not every
man or woman in similar circum-
stances could hope to win such an
overhowing measure of success, but
by strictly following the principles of
thrift many more could be assured of
results of gratifying nature. The
point to be considered is that because
a man has a relatively small earning
capacity he need not consider himself
doomed to poverty for the rest of his
life. But to get the start toward in
dependence it is absolutely necessary
to cultivate habits of thrift and econ
omy, thus to be prepared for oppor-
tunity when it does appear, as it al
ways does to those who have the WIS
dom to see it and the courage to take
advantage of it.

live up to it. The undertaking thus
launched is one Of much Importance
to the nation and directly will affect
national success and prosperity. II
the farm loan system is a genuine
success it will promote the general
public welfare, and there is every
reason, therefore, for hoping for its
success. But much will depend on the
way the land banks are organized,
and if failure follows it will be due
to failure to win public confidence
from the very start.

ORGANIZING THE LAND BANKS

1t is a rule of business that credit
depends on character. and this rule
will apply to the farm loan banks
soon to be instituted under the so.
called rural credits act. The sue
cess or failure of these banks, in
other words, will largely depend on
the way they are organized and con
Quoted from the very start, for their
capital will be comparatively limited
at first, and if they hope to expand
their business and become a genuine
success they must gain and hold the
confidence Of the public.
The system of operation for these
new land banks is really quite sim
pie, and there practically is no limit
for the expansion of this business,
provided the banks themselves can
gain public confidence necessary to
keeping their own credit good. Loans
are to be made to farm producers,
with ample safeguards of security,
and the mortgages thus gathered are
TO be made the basis of bonds which
are to be sold to the public, thus
providing more funds to make fresh
loans to warrant the issue of more
bonds, and so on indefinitely. Just
so soon as investors lose confidence
in the integrity and stability Of the
land banks. aceretions of further cap
ital will cease and the growth of this
business will stop.
This being so it is highly important
that in choosing the men who will
serve as directors and officers of these
land banks the utmost caution and
wisdom should be exercised. The
farm loan board is charged with the
duty Of selecting sixty directors for
he twelve banks to be installed, and
there has been considerable wire pull
ing and some pOht'eal play in efforts
20 influence IL. e selections. FOrtu-
nately the loan board is vigorously re
sisting such efforts and recently made
the announcement Oh "these posi-
tions are not to be handed out as
politics, plans"
T. is much to be hoped the loan
