/, the lobby work of this suffrage or
ganlzation.
Miss Martin is an announced can
didate for the seat left vacant by the
death OF the late Senator Newlands,
of Nevada. Her first claim to the Of
flee rests on the fact that she won the
State for suffrage. Her announced
reason. however, is that "the voting
women OF the country should have a
voice and vote in legislative matters"
1t was as a suffrage campaigner
that Miss Martin first achieved fame.
She went to the people OF Nevada by
train, by auto. on horseback and on
foot. When a mining camp was so
high up among the hills that there
remained only a footpath to 1t, she
took the path. She spoke in halls, on
street corners. And she got to the
people and won, against the united
opposition OF both parties.
She Is for government ownership OF
railroads
What particular things would you
work for in your State?" she was
asked.
For further reclamation OF desert
lands by government works. For the
abolition OF the long and short haul
railroad rate. And for a more intel
| ligent solution of the problem OF sea-
/ sonal employment, the failure TO solve
which Is largely responsible for So
called L W. W. troubles"

1900 PLANES
MONTHLY FOR
ALLIED FORCES
Aircraft Output Will Ex-
ceed Normal Expectations
After September /.

From 100 to 1.5oo finished airpianes
will be delivered every month to the
allies starting September /.
This was announced by the Aircraft
Construction Board with the declara-
ton that many machines could and
will be supplied during the Summer
for the use of French and English
fliers IL the need arises. II was
pointed out that while no American
planes were promised to the allies
during the first year of Americas ac-
tive participation In the war. the out
put in this country has been SO great
that promises will be more than kept.
To save shipping space. American
planes will be shipped in parts and
assembled In France or England.
Many mechanics are now In France
for this very purpose and many more
will be sent abroad in special units.
That the supply of aviation mechan-
les in this country for service will be
more than sufficient is made plain in
an announcement made by the signal
corps yesterday that recruiting for
the Notifying branch of the aviation
service had been temporarily suspend
ed as more men had volunteered for
this branch than were needed at pre-
sent. More men. however. will be en-
listed in a few months. the announce
ment stated.
Progress made in this country in
aviation has exceeded the fondest
hopes Of army officials. One thou
sand men have been arriving daily
at Kelly Field in Texas, for the past
month. from all parts of the country
and additional barracks had to be
constructed 10 care for the cadets.
That the powers of the aircraft
construction board will be increased
soon, was forecast today with the
announcement from a high official
source that all work in connection
with the construction of aircraft will
be transferred from the signal corps.
Howard Coffin. chairman of the
board, is indirectly responsible for
this move as he has proven by his
past work that he is fully capable
of handling the situation.
Chairman Coffin is an ardent be-
lever in full publicity OF everything
except matter OF direct value to the
enemy. When the reins OF control
have beert concentrated in his hands,
Mr.. Coffin has stated that the coun-
try will not be in the dark about the
progress Of airplane building.

According to Mr.. Colladay. who Is
making an exhaustive study of the

have to live on two-thirds the amount
of farm products purchased last year.

L.. e. In MA Sh-
ington, with $4,000 population, bought
about Sl.50O.OO0 worth OF truck from
farmers.
On the same basis there should be
a market for about 100000 worth of
farm products, which include greens.
potatoes, and other truck sold at Cen
ter and other markets.
The farmers say, however. they will
produce only about 100000 of food
stuffs. unless farm labor is forthcom-
ing. This means 100 per cent short
age.
The labor situation is what Mr.
Colladay is trying to overcome. Meet
ings with farmers will he held until
the planting season is all over He

throughout the summer He Is now
considering several plans for receiv-
ing enough labor TO assist the farm

Situation Declared serious.
Unless something is done in this
case, Washington, he declared, will
be in a serious position. While there
will probably be nothing in the garb
of famine stalking down the streets
of the capital throughout the United
States farmers are planning the same
course. and 4 national situation may
