CAMP DICK FLYER

More than $4,000 flyers have won
their wings" at Camp Dick, the great
est aviation concentration camp in
the United States since last January.
This was revealed for the first time
in figures made available by the end
of the war.
The Dallas camp, while neither
ground school nor flyer school, was
the neck of the bottle through which
practically all aviators who have en-
tered the service since its establish
ment, Jan 80, 1918, have passed. 1t
was designed as a place in which the
morale of the aviators could be main
tanned while the-meh were in tran
sition from one stage of development
to another.

ground schools, Princeton, Cornell,
and the Texas. Illinois and California
universities. The length of their stay
depended upon the room available in
the flying fields to which they were
sent as soon as possible. Unless they
could be sent direct to the advanced
flying fields, they were kept at camp
Dick to await assignment. Thus the
men were able to keep up their stud
les in military atmosphere during
periods when they could not be cared
for at the schools,

QUELLING RIOTS
ROBERT RENSCH WRITES FROM
WINsTON-sALENT, N. G.

In a letter to home folks from
Winston-Salem, N. c., Robert Rensch
tells of patrol duty in quelling race
riots. Following is his letter in part:
Am writing this from the office
of the county clerk in the courthouse,
in which we are quartered. We are
not allowed to leave the building ex-
cept on duty, so | could not go to the
~" to write,
I Il was out on a patrol all night
last night, assisting in quelling the
race riots, but nothing very exciting
happened. l took a few revolvers
from whites and some razors from
niggers, but that was about all. On
ly a few arrests were made last night
and probably not over 10 shots were
fired by the entire guard, these more
to brighten than to harm. / was with
a big fellow, Gerber is his name.
from Pittsburg, he with fixed bay
onet and gun loaded with five rounds
and | with bayonet in my belt, gun
unloaded, but 40 rounds in my belt
and pocket, There was a reason for
this. l halted everyone and made
them hold up their hands. Then
Gerber kept them covered with his
rifle, while l searched Them. If such
a thing should happen that they
should get my rifle, all had to do
was to step aside and offer Gerber a
target, and / was confident he would
pened though. OF course if we spot
ted a large party, / would load up,
too, but neither of us fired a shot al
night. Besides several patrols, like
the II l was on, there were the
guards stationed at important places
in town, and two machine guns
mounted on the real of speedy trucks
also patroled the city, so you see we
were in complete control.
when we got here YESTERDAY
morning Voc marched past the Rey-
nolds tobacco factory, one of the
largest in the world, and stopped
next to it for a few moments. While
standing there we were fairly show
cred with Camel c~igarets thrown
from the windows by the employees.
Quite a novelty to be showered with
cigarets, wasn't it?
"The tank we brought here is a
little Ford, but it sure created a SEN
sation here and with its two machine
guns has the whole city pretty well
'buffaloed I don't look for any
more rioting until after we leave, but
it will break out as soon as we do
leave. I'm sure, so they may keep up
here for some little time"

POPCORN CULTURE


During the spring months this year
F. H. Sloan, of the Union Grain and
Seed company, urged upon several
Lake county farmers the adyisability
of planting a portion of their fields
to popcorn al a sure means of a re-
turn of big profits. Mr.. Sloan had
seen popcorn successfully grown in
Iowa and whatever a be grown il
any state IN the middle west can be
grown just a little better in South
Dakota. Mr.. Sloan procured the seed
which vas taken and planted by sew
eral farmers and the returns begin to
show that Mr.. Sloan's advice is re-
turning a money value. A. B. Fait,
of Herman township, planted eight
acres of popcorn, which he has mar
keted to the Union Grain & Seed
company and received $S8.85 per
acre for his crop. w. II. Bergeson,
two miles southwest Of the city,
planted SO acres to popcorn. This
has not yet been husked. but the in
dications are that the yield will be
fully up to the standard of popcorn
production. Mr.. Sloan expects to
ship at least eight carloads of pop
corn from Madison and Junius to the
Chicago market. The average yield
of popcorn to the acre is about one
ton, given in weight instead of bush
els. The experiment set on foot by
Mr.. Sloan, in view of the success this
year, will no doubt result in increas-
ed acreage Of popcorn next year and
become an important source of in
come for Lake county farmers.
