'BLIMP" GETS
HUN -U-B0ATS
Little Dirigible Airships on
ly Thing to Destroy Sub,
Say Some.

An American Balloon Base in
England. July rs, Correspondence OF
the Associated Press)-The "Blimp"
is the nickname which the American
pilots have given to the little dirigible
airships which are technically termed
IS. S." or Submarine Scouts.
The gas-bag Of the Blimp Is about
$50 feet long and 80 feet in diameter.
The lower structure is virtually that
of a scouting airplane of medium
power. SO that the whole effect is
that Of a~sort of a cross between air
plane and balloon. The crew Is
usually one pilot and an observer,
and the speed is about 40 miles an
hour.
The cargo is a load of bombs which
work like a destroyer's depth charges,
exploding by w~aterpressure at a
depth Of 20 to so feet. The carriage
contains steering gear. bomb levers.
wireless apparatus, camera and OBJ
s%ervation instruments. "''@ 2
Hundreds Of Blimps are constantly
on duty around the coasts OF France
and England. American pilots and
observers are just beginning to take
up this work. 1t is the greatest u
boat destroyer in existence If the men
who work the Blimps are to be be>
lieved. One enthusiastic American
pilot who had been dropping bombs
up and down the Irish sea for a
month, remarked to The Associated
Press correspondent. 1.-The Blimp is
ing U-boats: it d the way"
The advantage that the Blimp has
over the seaplane is that it can stand
still in the air. II a U-boat dives
down and lies out Of sight on the bot
tom, the Blimp sits owe 1t until It
decides to o on or come to the
surface. II the submarine does not
move. the Blimp IL just as we'll con-
tent, for in the meantime the wire
less has been at work. and trawlers
are coming up in the course of an
hour or two with the necessary equip
ment to smoke Mister Submarine out
Of his hole.
II the submarine rises before naval
help arrives. the Blimp tackles It
alone with bombs. II the submarine
tries to nov away along the bottom
Of the sea, tho Blimp follows its
shadow until It comes, sooner or later
to q shallow spot where 1dt can be ef-
fectively dealt With.
Subject to the Blimp's fuel supply
and its duration power" in the air,
there is little chance of escape for 4
E-boat once 1t has been sighted BY
one Of these handy little dirigibles.
The sighting or spotting Of the u
boats II the great difficulty, for the
seas around England are large places
and the range OF the Individual Blimpr
IL comparatively small.
A. larger type Of Blitnp IL now be.
ling used, known technically as the G,
r. or Coast Patrol. It carries i
fuel and 10 used for detecting mine.

COMMUNITY CANNING
PLANS UNDER WAY

If present plans m~ateriAlize, the
latter part of next week will sec the
Inauguration of community canning,
in Grand Forks. Backyard~and vacant
lot gardens have been SO carefully
tended and have yielded such beauti-
full results that It is deemed wise to
take steps. to preserve as much Of the
possible. In most instances there
have been more than enough veget-
ables raised for the immediate con-
sumption Of the garden owners, and
in accordance with the advice Of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, the
perishable vegetables are to be
canned for winter Use
If the community canning project
here proves g success, at the outset. it
is planned to continue the work each
week right through the canning sea-
son., andtFin this way 1t Is hoped to
reach all Of the gardeners who may
cold pack method, which has been en-
dorsed by the government as the most
practical and sure method of preserv-
ing fruits and vegetables. will be used
for the canning, and will be in charge
of a group of matrons and young girls
who are familiar with this method.
Mrs. Lillian Beard, home demonstra-
'tIOH agent, VINO Is lemon
strations in this county. and elsewhere
in this section of the state, will assist
in the preparations, and will probably
take charge of the first work that is,
dom next week. 80:
A central point will be selected for
the work. and persons having veget-
ables to can, may bring them, to-
gether with Jars, and whatever else
may be needed, and the work will be
done for them. Should. there be more
vegetables than they care to have
cameo for their own use, the women
in charge of the project will take care
of them also.
Foodstuffs are to be extremely high
priced this winter, we are told, and
even present prices. should they. con-
tinue, would be quite enough incentive
to make any housekeeper. or family
head. want to get busy and save every
last bean, or carrot that was raised
during the summer. The government
urges the preservation of all garden
products. as a patriotic duty, and
though plans for the community can
ming project are as yeti little in
definite. when they do materialize, as
they undoubtedly will, it is hoped that
the project will be given plenty Of
backing. Further plans will be an
nounced in these columns within a few
days.

Editor Jones Retires

Through a stress of circum-
stances, we neglected last week to
make mention of the fact that E.
r. Jones had disposed of his in
terest in the Arcadia News and
had retired from the newspaper
business. He has not given much
attention of late to his newspaper
work, a fact that caused us to
suspect that he was getting tired
of it, and we are, therefore, not
surprised by or at his withdrawal.
1t is very seldom that the work
which a man does on a village
weekly gives him anything like
an adequate recompense, and, ev-
err since Brother Jones entered
the business, we felt sure that,
sooner or later, he would find it
out.
When he gave his earnest at
tention to the work, however, he
produced one Of the most inter
esting papers in Florida, and it
was a pleasure to read his writ
ings. This pleasure was enhanc-
ed by knowing the high charac-
ter of the man, that he was and
is honest, sincere and incorrupti-
BILE. In what Brother Jones
wrote, there was not the slightest
tinge of journalistic boorishness
or ruflianism. His writings, while
vivacious and often spicy, always
reflected his character as re-
fined, cultured and amiable gen.
tlcman. We shall miss him from
the ranks-in fact for several
months past, we have missed him
from the editorial page of the
News.
But this sounds as if we were
writing his obituary, which we are
not. I'VE had much rather write
ms eplthalamlum or something
equally as good.
We are glad to know that he is
succeeded by gentleman of sim
liar character,-D. B. Sweat, an
experienced and capable newspa-
per man. The work will cause
him to make good his name, even
in this cool weather, but he is e.
quail to the task. He has lived
and worked in this county before,
both in the pulpit and in the edit
orial chair, and he has host of
friends in all sections Of the coun-
ty who will join The Herald in
wishing him unbounded success.

Possible Change in Sugar Ration

The recent ruling of the Food
Administration increasing the per
capita ratio from two pounds per
person per month to three pounds
per person per month, remains in
effect, but notice has been re-
ceived from Washington that, be-
ginning December 1st, the per
capita allowance may be increased
to four pounds per person per
month, wherever sugar is avail
able and in plentiful supply and
the Sugar Division has been auth
orized to issue certificates to deal
ers to conform to this new allot-
ment, if local supplies permit. The
same allotment will, if possible,
be allowed public eating places
based on the ratio of four pounds
of sugar for each ninety meals
served. The Sugar Division will
be governed at all times by it's
knowledge of available stocks of
sugar County Food Administra-
tors will receive specific instruc-
tons on this particular point and
can be relied upon TO give mer-
chants and the public all neces-
sary information. - BRAXTON

Bully for the Tribune!

The Tampa Tribune registers
very vigorous and justifiable pro-
test against calling an extra ses-
sion of the legislature to assemble
next Monday, and it's protest is
emphatically endorsed by thous-
ands Of taxpayers. There is alb
solutcly no emergency existing to
justify the calling of an extra
session; and, if it is held, it will
cost the taxpayers between $780,
600 and $4,000, which will be
money actually wasted.
The excuses given are that an
extra session is needed to pass
laws prohibiting the shipment of
liquor into the state, to regulate
labor conditions, to provide
homes for returning soldiers, to
provide for the more efficient col
lecting Of automobile taxes and to
make a moderate appropria-
tom for the improvement of
conditions presumably in the
Mariana reform school.
The Tribune vigorously and
clearly contends that these ex-
cuses are not worthy of considera-
ton; and, as to the present need
of money to put the reform school
in decent condition, it makes (and
in a later edition repeats this of
fer" Call off this needless extra
session, and call on The Tampa
Morning Tribune for the money
needed to put that reform school
on plane of comfortable decency
and humanity, and The Tribune
will lend the state the amount
needed, and take it's chance on
having the regular session of the
legislature pay it back at the
same interest rate the state would
have to pay on any other indebt-
edness it incurs."
Bully for the Tribune! Having
raised thunder about the
scandalous conditions at the re-
form school, the Tribune s offer of
help to remedy them is very APP
propriate and in keeping with the
public spirit Of that great news
paper. It's attack on those con-
ditions and its influence with
"the powers that be" has brought
good results, one of them being
the dismissal of the superintend-
ent of the school; and we hope
that its influence, backed by its
generous and patriotic offer, will
accomplish the desired object in
the calling off of the proposed ex-
ira session of the legislature.
In taking the stand it does a.
gainst the proposed unnecessary
and reprehensible waste of the
taxpayers money, the Tribune ex-
hibits degree of courage, for it
has long been supporter of the
governor, who called this extra
session, and it is well known that
the governor takes offence at
any opposition to his policies. By
its course, the Tribune risks los
ing his friendship, but, in this in
stance, it is unquestionably right
and, being right, it will add to its
already great popularity.

The government is doing the right
thing in trying to relieve the peo-
pie of war burdens as rapidly as
possible. We cannot help regret
ting, however, that the great avia-
ton camps at Arcadia may soon

soldiers from there no more.

LICE AND MITES ARE
HEN DISCOURAGERS

\ lOuse-infeSted hen and a. mite-in-
Tested hen house are NiScourayerS of

duction in these days of sky-ligh
prices of feeds means the useless de-
pletion Of the purse Of the owner of
both hen and hen house. A louise i'll
tested hen or a hen kept in a house
that is largely infested with mites lives
on the owner because the owner al
lows mites or lice to live on her. 7
That is the way A. G. Smith of the
poultry division at University Farm
drives home the needless losses arising
from the important care of hens TO
keep these mites out. frmigation helps,
but no agent acts more quickly nor
more thoroughly than ordinary kero-
Sene. When crude carbolic acid is
added, the mixture becomes a sure
killer and a disinfectant as WELL The
right proportion is about one fluid
ounce Of strong crude carbOlic to one
quart Of Kerosene. Two methods of
application are possible and practical.
If mites are actually in the house,
paint or spray all the wood work and
the floor, if wooden, with either the
Kerosene or the mixture. If the mites
have restricted themselves to the
roosts and rOost supports only, apply
only to the roosts and roost supports.
