The Farmers Vote

The recent primaries have demon
strated the fact that the farmers can
stick.
It is true that in a few cases that
they were unable to overcome per-
sonalities, and voted for those they
happened to- know or they happened
to like the best.
In this way they have held out
hope to the old gang politician who
is encouraged to believe that he can
talk the farmer out of his vote pro-
viding he does enough personal work.
Tt is bad that the politician has got
ten any solace. However, the farm,

MUST CHANGE DRAFT
Trouble Has Arisen Over Taking
- Neutrals for Army.

Washington, June 14.-Immediate
amendment of the draft laws spe-
officially exempting citizens of neutral
countries is necessary, senate leaders
announced today They disclosed the
fact that Il serious situation has arisen
over the drafting of neutrals
The war department has construed
the draft law to mean that unless a
neutral claims exemption when he reg
listers. he is not exempt afterwards.
Many neutrals have been drafted and
some have been killed. In some cases
they protested vigorously after they
had been called into the service. Some
of these protests have found their way
to British home governments.
The result has been contention be-
tween this government and certain
neutrals, particularly Sweden. Prep
aration of an amendment is in pro-
sress. 1t may be a rider to the army

to buy, as evidence of their patriotism
and loyalty to their country Thls
does not mean that every Individual

the government in a splendid manner.
In each instance, the liberty loan and

The Dream Girl.
BY LOUISE OLIVER.

When the car gave a lurch which
sent Jack with great force against
someone behind him, and he turned
to apologize, he almost lost his breath
with surprise. For there, smiling with
amusement was the girl he had been
dreaming about.
Jack was no sentimentalist. He was
not given to dreaming at all-much.
Only this girl had got into his head
some way, how, he couldn't have told,
and he took to dreaming about her.

He got his commission and was as

BUREAU
THE FLYING AGE.
FREDERIC J. HAsKIN. Director
Washington. D. C.

Washington, d. c., June 10.-What
effect is the tremendous development
of aeronautics going to have upon
American industries and ways OF life
during peace time?
This is fascinating question which
is being much discussed among the
few men who realize how great a
thing our progress in the air has be-
come. They are agreed that the work
of fifty years of peace time has been
done in three or four of war; that
the modern airplane is the highest
achievement of mans mechanical gen.
ius; that in our aeronautical training
schools thousands of young men, who
will be the leaders of the rising gen.
GRAFTON, are gaining a conscious mas
terry of the air, and that a great in
dustry, with varied ramificationS, has
been created.
The peace time uses of the airplane
can be as yet only vaguely foreseen;
but it is certain that none of these
things will perish, that the technical
knowledge, the industrial develop
ment. and the human sense of con-
quest over a new element are all per-
manent things.
Our new system of aerial coast
guard patrols, for which provision has
been made in the current -appropria-
tion measures, will absorb a large
number of the machines and the
| skilled aviators which the government
is now developing. 1t is not probable
| that any great number of government
planes will be placed upon the market
/ but come will. and these will be eager
ly bought up by enterprising men and
used for pleasure and industrial pur-
| poses.
| The greatest force in the developing
of peace time flying will be thousands
of airplane pilots and mechanics who
will be released from service after the
war. These men will demand employ
ment in their new and fascinating pro-
fession, and the demand will surely
| create its own opportunities, for the
force of a widely felt human desire is
after all one of the most irresistible
forces in the world.
The carrying of mails by air, which
| doubtless see a rapid development
There are hundreds of out-of-the-way
places where air mail service is far
more needed than it is between Wash
ington and New York. Aerial mai
service, and passenger service, too
could do wonders for Alaska. The
government once asked for bids on q
contract to carry mail by air in Alaska
and no bids were made After the
war, with the country full of ambitious
young aviators. and many used planes
Ion the market, no such offer will &C
begging. There are many places ir
the west which need airplane mai
service as badly as Alaska does.
The men who are close to modern
lairplane work expect a much more
rapid development of passenger traf'
lfic in the air than the layman car
Imagine. This latter cannot get away
from the idea that flying is yer,
