DRAFT TAKING MANK
HELPERS FROM FARMS
CONTINUED from First Page. ]

State Grange, said the proposition
was being taken up by many farm
ers with President Wilson and 1t is
hoped that some way will be found
to prevent IA great loss to the farmers.
Another big farmer from Middle
town came to the headquarters OF
the board late this morning and
voiced his views. He stated tnat he
was unable to get help and the men
from his two farms that were drafted
represented his chief help. The main
cause of his inability to secure help.
according to him. was the fact that
the various industrial plants and con-
struction companies were offering
such high wages that it was impos-
sible for the farmers to cope with
them. The sum the farmers pay
their help per day is S2.2O and many
pay So. With the other concerns
paving SO and 81 per day for ordi-
nary labor, 1t can be easily seen why
men prefer it.
What action the appeal boards Will
take upon the matter is question.
To date the farmers as whole have
failed to help the appeal board in the
matter, and in many instances 1t has
been proved that men have taken to
farming in order to avoid being
drafted.
The idea of the farmers in sub
mitting the proposition to President
Wilson is to secure equitable distri-
button of labor, in order that farm
ing may b6 carried on just the same
as before the draft army was called.
The outcome is awaited with interest
by the farmers of Dauphin county.

5000 FEET ALOFT
BY NEW MOTOR
Colonel First Civilian to Test
Americas Fighting Flying
Machine

Garden City, Long Island, Sept.
1A.-Colonel Roosevelt rode behind a
Liberty motor to-day 5000 feet
above the spires of the Cathedral
City, at a 100-mile an hour clip. He
is said to be the first civilian to learn
by experience the power of the en-
gine on which the United States re-
lies for air supremacy in the war.
From other sources it was learned
that the colonel was profoundly i'm
pressed by the great motor. After
his trip, which lasted more than half
an hour. he told friends that the
future of the air service was assured
II 1t got proper governmental sup
port. He showed the utmost conf
dence in the new standardized ma
chine as a weapon against nation
which has had the experience of war
to aid its inventors.
Arrives UnheraIded at Field
Unheralded and almost unrecog-
nized, Colonel Roosevelt motored
from Sycamore Hill to the govern
ment aviation field at Mineola. 1t
was about $50 a. m. when he arriv-
ed. Sentries presented arms and the
gates swung open with a prompt
ness that convinced those familiar
with the precautions with which this
training field has been hedged that
all arrangements, even to the min
had been made long beforehand.
The great gray airplane, with it's
new, eight-cylinder engine, was on
the ground. It's new Liberty engine
had arrived only two days before.
Beside it stood it's pilot, II. j. Blake
ley, q student officer of the camp.
Colonel Roosevelt watched with in
terest while the tuning-up process
showered him with dust and almost
deafened him He suggested that
ned like a ride. Blakelsy agreed,
but said he wanted to make a trial
trip first, as the engine had never
been tested in flight.
Gees Up 5000 Feet
Colonel Roosevelt finally prevailed
upon Blakeley and took his seat be-
side him. 1t seemed but a few sec
onds before the quick climbing plane
was soaring with the rest of the
flock.
UP to 5000 feet sped Blakeley
and his passenger. They were In the

ers. Possibly fearing to risk the
chance of a blind angle" collision,
such as recently occurred in the
West, Blakeley descended to about
1000 feet and made the most of his
trip at that altitude.
