the ordinary wages paid for other

As every one knows the next six
weeks is the critical time. and all
crops that are not properly attend
ed at this time will be interior. Car
ter county should do its utmost and
do it now. Pledge cards can be
found at the War Savings bank and
the committee wants and needs a
large number OF men to take the

man in Carter county who has the
interest OF the government at heary
10 60 to'the War Savings Bank and
volunteer for two weeks service on
the farm.
The committee will endeavor to
supply man to take the place OF
every farmer that has gone from
Carter county to the army and then
it will endeavor to supply farm la
Dor to every farmer in Carter coun-
" that needs such labor and re-
quests that farmers who need help
make application for such help az
once by filling blank application at

Texas Coms Enjoy Diet Of
US. Army Auplane Wings

Dallas, Texas, Nav 24.--Discov-
cry that Texas cattle will eat the
wings Of an airplane ii the machine
is lett unguarded is one OF the rea-
sons why a general order to stick
with the machine. no matter what
happens is impressed upon every
cadet aviator training in Texas. The
cadets are instructed particularly
never to leave their ships" in fields
no matter how far from the travelled
road.
The fact that cows have an appe-
tite for airplanes was discovered
only after one or two machines had
suffered real loss from discriminat-
ing Texas cattle.
The wide, supporting planes are
covered with cellulous preparation
that makes them air tight known in
the technique of flying as dope"
and dope makes as tasty a meal
for COWS as the bovines have dis
covered for a long time. 1t softens
under their tongues and the cattle
in their eagerness to obtain it, viii
chew the expensive linen planes to
pieces to extract the last particle Of
dope flavor.
Another reason for the order is
that an airplane is a valuable piece
OF property with many detachable
parts offering an attractive invita-
ton to looters il one were LETT un-
protected in lonely field or on
road.
Souvenir hunters, however, are
much more feared than thieves.
Aviators who have made forced
landings while on cross-countrv
flights say it requires their utmost
vigilance to keep curious spectators
from breaking up their ships and
carrying them away piecemeal, so
eager are the country people for
souvenirs.
An aviator landed recently in a
wheat field not far from here. The
curiosity and interest in him was so
