.32 CITIES OF J. s. HAVE PLACES FOR .A|RPLANE LANDING

BY A. E. oELDHoF.
 N. E. A. Washington Bureau,
 112s-1134 Munsey Bldg,
 WASHINGTON, D. c.
 Air terminals in 32 cities and towns, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, and from Canada to Mexico.
 An organized national system of air lanes.
 That's the dream of Maj-Gen. Charles Menoher, director of the U. S. Air Service. And he has already be- gun work to make it a reality
 The air service has selected 32 cities in various parts of the country as sites for air terminals.
 These cities are:
 Boston, Mass.
 New,York City.
 Richmond, Va.
 Raleigh, N c.
 Columbia, s. c.
 Augusta, Ga.
 Macon, Ga. Atlanta, Ga.
 Kissimmee, Fla. Mobile, Ala. New Orleans, La. Baton Rouge, La.
 Beaumont, Tex. Flatonia, Tex. Fl Paso, Tex.
 Texarkana, Tex Columbus. O. Tucson, Ariz. Phoenix, AriZ. Yuma, AriZ
 Bakersfield. Calif. Fresno, Calf. l Buffalo, N Y. l Syracuse, N. Y. l. Albany, N Y. ! Columbus. N. NJ. Kansas City. Mo.
 Oklahoma City. Okla. UniontoYn. Pa. Daytona, Fla. Cleveland, O. Chicago. Ills. 1 Reeulltions divide the landing fields , into four classes. The plans for the first class provide for souare field 600 yards in dimen- | sions or a L-shaped field. with ground | smooth and firm in any weather and without obstacles or ditches. within eh., nrf nf city, with good transportation facili- ties, electric light, water supply and 1 sewerage and adequate accommoda- ticns. supplies and attendants.
 The field must have in its center a concrete landing in the shape of cross, with a circular marker 100 feet in diameter upon it. bearing the name O fthe city and its number in let ters 15 feet long and feet wide. The number must also be placed in the northwest corner
 The second class field marker, in- stead of being a circle, must be two crossed arrows, three feet wide and 90 feet long in the case of the largest fields.
 The third class field need not pos sess a concrete landing cross, but must have a cross-shaped marker It need not have permanent attendants or supplies, but they must be avail able upon request.
 The fourth class field is for emerg- ency landing and its only requirement. is that it have an arrow three feet wide as a marker The expense of building these land , ing fields must be borne by the mu- nicipalities.
 Such a scheme" says General Menoher, will not only serve the air 7 service in cross-country work and the l mail service, but it will pave the way for local benefits resulting from the development of inter-city transporta- r tion, express service. emergency serv- : ice, local mapping, police protection, etc. } We aim to establish in each air , terminal city a reserve unit which can be provided with facilities for in- | struction and practice in flying. ob- serving, care and repair of airplanes and serve in case of emergency. This I consider one of the most important phases of the whole proposition"

1T IS ONE.SIDED

The farmer has been taught and
urged to produce more food. His edu-
cation, according to Prof. John T.
Coulter, has been "one-sided; 1t only
covered one-third of the activities Of
the modern farmer. It has taught him
to produce, but has not taught him
anything about either selling the
things which he has produced or about
spending the money received, In an
age of commercial agriculture it is as
necessary to buy we'll and to sell we'll
as to produce we'll. Any manufacturer
will tell you that. When the people OF
the United States first realized that II
was necessary to begin a systematic
study of agriculture they began with a
study Of the production of all farm pro-
duce. At that time the chief business
OF the farmers was to produce things"
The time Is at hand when the farm
er must more and more study how and
when to market what he has produced
The day is at hand when cooperation
will secure a profit when the go-it-
alone plan will not get living price

BAPTISTS MAY MEET HERE
PERMANENTLY IN FUTURE
Effort VIII Be Made At Annual Meet.

Bracken County 70 Fix Mays.
Vile as Permanent Meet
ing Place

1t is more than likely that after this
year the annual meetings of the
Bracken Association Of Baptists which
Is the annual business session of thir-
ty Baptist churches In, 10 counties in
Kentucky and one in Ohio, will be held
II, Maysville each year. Such move
ment to change the old plan of meet
ing at various churches in the dis
trict, will be launched Mt the meeting
being held today and tomorrow at the
TWO Lick Baptist church near Ger
mantown, it is learned
Maysville is the center Of the dis
trict in which these 80 churches are
located and 1t is easily reached by
messengers from all OF them by train
! and automobile. The District Mission
Board has headquarters in this city
and meets regularly here and all o.
the officers of the Association are res.
idents of Maysville.
Many of the churches are hard tC
reach by rail and there are those whC
cannot find the conveyances to carr!
them to country churches for sucl
meetings. It is thought that such ,
change in the plans will be adopted
when presented I'd the messengers thi
year. 1t would mean the changing o
a custom which has been followed II
this association for more than ~
years.
