places Of those taken, works a great Getri-
mcnt. Farm labor being reduced to a
minimum it is pcrious to draw from it if
we are to keep up in any degree our pro-
duction. To my mind the man who pro-
Guces food is on a par in winning the war
with those who serve their country in any
other way. Measured in sacrifice it is
not 50 greet service, but measured in I'M
poltance it ranks with any other service.

and in one county alonc-a small county

cause the farmers could not get the labor

Whether horse or mule, every ami

Then begins the animals real army

thing is TO drive the lesson home that
the first duty is toward the group to
which it is assigned. In the man this
soon becomes loyalty to the squad, the
platoon, the company and the regiment

the animal it means that the
lesson is driven home so relentlessly

To the cavalry horse much the
same thing applies. Put him into
training, accustom him thoroughly to
what is expected of him, and his rider
may fall or be shot from the saddle,
and in most cases he will hold his posi-.
ton and thunder forward with the rest
of the command in the midst of the

PILOTS ARE WIRELESS MEN
Men Who Operate AiroIanes in Brit
ish Aviation Service Must Be
TeIegraphers.

Somewhere in France.-Every pilot
in the British air service is now a
trained wiEeless telegraphist. The use
of the wireless on airplanes is, how
ever, limited by the weight of the APP
paratus and the noise and vibration Of
the engines. Heavier-than-air craft
cannot remain aloft, with engines
stopped, for the reception of long wire
less messages.
But the wireless has enlarged the
field of airplanes in warfare. Mes
sages transmitted by the cavalry of
the air" now keep headquarters in
touch with every visible movement on
the part of the enemy. 1t is, how
ever, in connection with artillery that
wireless is chiefly employed.
The difficulty of receiving sound
signals in the air will be apparent
when it is stated that conversation be-
tween pilot and observer is impracti-
cable, without the use of special cloud
speaking" telephones, on account of
the noise made by the engine. the hum
of the vibrating rigging, and the rush
of air.
Signals sent when flying across the
ground station, or when turning, are
not so clear as those sent while flying
directly toward or away from the re-
ceiying station.

Three of the big dams, all of which

Dumping lake in 1916, Kachess lake

bined capacity of 1,OS2,OOO acres feet.
The Teton dam, located on the Tie
ton river 26 miles west of Naches,
Wash, and AZ miles west of Yakima,
is the fourth to be built. So far the
work has consisted largely of prepar-
alton, such as road and camp con-
