NORTH Hampstead BUYS.
Country Club Purchases the Prop.
erty 1t Is Using.

PORT WASHINGTON. Sept. THE
North Hampstead Country Club has.
after extensive negotiations. purchased
the property It has been occupying for
about three years. The price Is said TO
be between $4,000 and 5000. 200. which
is very reasonable considering that the
land consists OF more than 100 acres on
the Flower Hill road between Port
Washington and Ros,yn.
The golf course built on this land and
used during the past few years already
surpasses many older courses, due to ex-
ceptlonal soil and drainage conditions
Further development may be held down
for tho duration OF the war, but the re-
sumption of peace conditions will find
the North Hampstead Country Club de-
veloping the course to its utmost.
On the course is a Colonial homestead
dating back over one hundred years
This has been put into shape without
marring it's classic quaintness and is
used as the clubhouse.

ator VIM. H. Thompson, of Kansas, a
member of the Senate Committee on
Pensions, was placed in charge of the
Omnibus pension bills on the calen-

Der of which were Kansas cases.
Senator Thompson has pending a
general bill to increase the pensions
OF Civil War Soldiers and also bill

War Widows.
His interest in pension legislation
was recognized by his assignment to
the Pension Committee and later by
the Committee giving him the man

LIBERTY AIRPLANE NOW
COMING OUT IN QUANTITY

At Dayton the Wright plant Is now
turning out finished airplanes with
Liberty motor at the rate of bttween
40 and 80 week. These planes are
fighting planes and travel up to 150
miles an hour. AS fast as they come
out of the factory thty are trans
ported to the seaboard and thence to
France. With every completed plane
, go materials and spare parts amount
ing to 75 per cent of anothtr COM
plete plane. The Wright plants
schedule calls for 100 finished planes
this month, 1924 in June and 4S0 in
July. Designed to develop 375 horst
power the Wright plane actually de-
velops Abs horsepower.
The Liberty motor is now success
for all its purposes. The fighting
planes fire through the propeller
blades and work with entire salts

ton correspondent for the New York
Evening Post, who visited the Wright

FACTS VS.. CRITICISM

In judging the Governments prep
artions for waging war on a vast
and unprecedented scale let us re-
call what some of the critics have
said. On January % Secretary Ba-
ker made the statement before the
Senate Committee on Military At
fairs that 1--WE will have more than
,one-half million men in France early
in 1913" Presumably the Secre-
tary knew what he was talking
about; but number of Senators
took him sharply to task. Senator
Hitchcock said that he was thunder
struck by Mr.. Bakers statements"
which he pronounced "exaggerations
of the widest sort" and absolutely
preposterous." Senators Weeks
Chamberlain and others INDUCED in
the same cheap style of criticism.
Now it appears that there are more
than 100000 American soldiers in
France, and unofficial statements,
which have not been contradicted,
hint at considerably larger numbers.
In the same month Of January
lot Of backwoods Senators were ex-
hausting their vocabularies of vitu-
peration in denunciation Of Hog Is
land and the claims made for it. The
idea that ships would be produced
there in time to be Of any service to
the war was laughed at as absurd.
Now it is stated that the first fabri-
Gated vessel will be launched in
August, and others will follow rapid
ly. The yard is up to its schedule.
This is also true of large part of
the Shipping Boards program.
Just now aircraft production holds
the center of the stage, and charges
are also made that there is great de-
lay in the manufacture of heavy
guns. Possibly there is some basis
for these statements. But sensible
persons, who recall the dire predic-
tions made as to the failure to get
troops abroad promptely and the al
legged breakdown in the production of
shipping, will not be seriously dis
turbed by these latest lamentations.
They are all of piece with the Hog
Island buncombe and Senator Hitch
cocks preposterous exaggerations".
Our army in France is large and do
ing splendidly. There is no occasion
for anybody at home to lose heart
over delays and endorsements
which are absolutely inevitable when
a peaceful nation undertakes to make
war on scale unparalleled in the
history of the world.-Philadelhhia
Ledger.

Pennington is out of town this week
on another big deal, and it begins to
look as if their interests are going to

anticipated.
M. w. Pysher, brother of w. M,
has recently disposed of lease on 80
acres near Baxter Springs for $780,

the man who has a lease that looks

death with offers.
