TAHLEQCAH, okla. March s.
The making and hauling to a shipping
point Of crossties has been for some
time the only means of livelihood for
many persons in this section. with
high and ever-incroasing prices for all
food products, with corn, hay and
oats so scarce as hardly to be had
even at the extremely high prices
asked for these farm products, hunger
and want stared large numbers Of the
poorer classes in the face.
But there has been a steady demand
for crossties and contractors have
been acquiring large tracts Of timber.
Tie hackers have thus found steady
employment for several months and
men with teams have had steady work
hauling. At such places as Parkhill
and yelling thousands of ties are
piled awaiting shipment and many
thousands have already been shipped.
The ties are being hauled, in some
instances, distances of from five to
twelve miles and many a family which
otherwise would be in deepest want
have had sufficiency upon which to
live during the winter months due
to the tie industry

STATEWIDE APPEAL
 ISSUED TO MILLERS.

 With Food Supply Committee.

The committee of food supply of the state council of defense is sending out from their headquarters at 36 Pearl street, Hartford, a statewide appeal calling upon the millers of the state equipped for grinding wheat and rye the committee, together with a state ment of the work they are equipped to do. The need for complete informa- = ton in regard to millers is set forth in the following letter sent out by J. F. Chamberlain of the sub committee on wheat and rye:
 Robert Scoville, Connecticut repre- sentative of the United States food administration, has asked that the people abstain from eating white bread on two days each week. The committee of food supply has asked the farmers of the state to plant twice as much rye this year as lost. to fill the quota of grain allotted to. Connec- ticut by the U. s. department Of agri- farmers will answer the call. If the housewives of the state respond to MT Scoville's appeal there will be a mar ket at home for the rye which the farmers plant, fl there are millers to grind the flour. This is what the to find out, and it request sail millers Tn the staee to register at its office, 26 Pearl street, Hartford. It has al- ready had requests for the. addresses of mills, and anticipates many more. With the support of the millers, the committee believes that a campaign to increase the use of local flour made do good to millers, farmers and con- and especially the use of the whole grain flour containing all the food value of the grain.

GALLAUDET WAR PLANE
Expected That New Graft Will Have
 Trial Flight This Week.

The first of the big war planes un- der construction by the Gallaudet Air
 craft Corporation at lhe Warwick
 plant on Chepiwancxet Island is re- ceiving it's finishing touches today and will be given it's trial spin for adjust
 ments Thursday or Friday, says the Providence Evening Bulletin.
 The new craft is unlike anything this country and great achievements are expected from this class of ma chine. It is of the "pusher" type, and is a sea plane with a 69-foot spread and 3s feet long. It is a monster fly CT, but it's cigar-shaped body gives it much smaller appearance than it really Is.
 The machine has two 1s5 horse power Hall Scott engines with the Gal1audet. special drive. 1t is this fea- ture of the machine that gives it it's great value for war purposes. No de- tails as to its construction are di- vulged, under the censorship of the war department.
 The plant must make a speed of s6 miles per hour to come up to the re- quirements and her makers are con- fdent that it will handily exceed this rate. It has a regular pontoon with go from 600 to TOO miles without a stop with it's complement of three men, It carries 1000 pounds of gasoline. This craft will carry, in addition to her pilot, two men. who will be fore and aft gunners. and their posts are well inclosed within the body The forward gunner will be close up on the nose of the plane. while the aft gunner Is well back of the pilot. This ma chine will have no blind" side as, wft;. gunners fore and aft, it vii be i'm possible for the enemy to approach closely without being detected
 Lieut.. Philip Rader will give the plane her first trial spin, after which f,vvo cd Ii,Yc fv,ra ,fr hox Y- made before she is given her official test for the government. It is expect ed that this trial will take place over Rhode Island waters.
