WITH AMERICAN ARMY, France,
Wednesday, Feb. 20.-That the control
of the air in the American sector be-
longs to the enemy is obvious. Any
officer at the front will make. this dec
laration.
When they get a chance aerorlanes
on this side attack the enemy, but the
Boche is so clever that he generally
manages to take pictures and make OBJ
servations and calmy sail home with
out interruption.
He nearly always sails at three thou
sand meters where he is comparatively
safe from anti-aircraft guns. If the Ger
mans know American airplanes are
waiting for them whenever they come
over the line, their trips will be less
frequent. Daylight flights by the
Germans over certain towns where
Americans are quartered have been fol-
lowed by night visits by enemy bomb
ing planes.
The question most asked from one
end of the American front to the other
is: when are some of the American
planes coming here?"

Miss Hamilton is demonstrating over
the county and lending encourageme
with all force to the growing of more

far more desirable product than it now
is and the growing Of more corn, of
course, will mean a better out put
The process results in procuring an
oil and a sugar product from the corn

wide beading to the straight edge for
the waistline, and banding the lace
with narrow ribbon stitched on. Where
