DELIVERS GUM by AEROPLANE

Trains and boats and jitney busses,
camels, oxen, dogs and coolie run
ners will please make '.gangway' for
the Aero Express. Here they come!
The "Spearmint Number One" and
her sister ship the "Spearmint Num-
Der Two" are on their way.
Two latest type Curtis aeroplanes,
similar to those used by the United
States army, and fully equipped for
long distance flying, are making a
tour over eight states, visiting $50
cities and towns. The planes carry
a consignment of Wrigley's chewing
gum for the local charlottesville
first delivery on record of this pro-
duct by aeroplane.
Always a keen enthusiast on the
latest developments in any enterprise
and especially in commercial aero
nautics, VIM. Wrigley DR., of Chicago,
the largest chewing gum manufac-
turer in the world, mas chartered
these planes to exemplify commercial
flying.
The tour is under the direction Of
John N. Hammond, representing the
Iranscontirenta1 Aerial company.
Mr.. Hammond recently returned from
overseas service with the Goth divls-
ion. Hisepilots are G. r. Borkland,
formerly of the British royal flying
corps and royal air force, and j. ".
| Schroeder, formerly instructor in the
United States air service.
The "Spearmint One" and "Spear
mint Two" are painted white and
ornamented with the Wrigley trade
marks and packages. They will drop
twenty small paraehutes upon
arrival over a city, each parachute
carrying package of gum, and four
!, of them containing a complimentary
ticket which will be honored for a
free ride in one OF the aeroplanes.
Finders of these tickets ride free
others will be taken for birds-eye
view sightseeing trip at SIS per
ride.
The tour will cover the Middle
| West and South during the next four
months. Manufacturers of light
package goods are watching the
Wrigley exploit with interest.

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR
COMPLEXION SOFT.
WHITE and YOUTHFUL
BY the Use of the Popular BLACK
and WHITE Beauty Treat
ment.

Women everywhere want tt look
we'll. The savage maiden tattoes her
skin, fixes rings in her nose, while
the example of present day beauty
in a civilized woman is soft, velvety
skin and radiant complexion.
To attain a beautiful skin, sticky,
greasy face creams, lotions, powders
or rouge should not be used. Such
cosmetics only serve to temporarily
hide or mask the unsightly skin.
You can remove pimples, insect
bites freckles, tan, sunburn and make
your dark shallow, muddy complexion
white, smooth and soft by the use of
the Black and White Beauty Treat
ment; which consists Of Ointment and
washed off the next morning. 1t is
different from cosmetics because it
takes off or removes skin blemishes
does not cover or hide them.
Both Black and White Ointment and
Soap can be bought at all good drug
stores for 25c package, or the manu-
facturers will send them direct post
paid on receipt Of price.

Mayors of Arkansas
to Hold Conference
on Finance Problem

Little Rock, Aug. Pa call is to
be issued soon by Mayor B. D. Brick
house of Little Rock for conference
of the mayors of Arkansas to con-
slider the question of revenue for the
payment of municipal debts. On sew
eral different occasions in recent
years the people have declined to au-
thorize bond issues, and at the pres
ent time Little Rock, Fort Smith, Hot
Springs, and other cities are wrestl-
ing with the problem of a privilege
tax, which is meeting with more or
less opposition, but which seems to
be the only means of reaching the
situation.
The plan to be proposed by Mayor
Brickhouse will be the initiation Of
an amendment to the constitution
which will enable the electors of a
city to vote any amount of tax they
desire for the maintenance of the
municipal government and the pay
ment of it's existing Indebtedness. The
present limit of taxation, to be levied
by the city council without reference
to the people, is five mills, and it is
proposed to raise the limit to IL
mills, just as has been done with the
schools.
It is pointed out that this would
answer one of the objections being
raised to the privilege tax, that it
taxes certain classes of citizens and
exempts others. The new form of
tax would be equitably distributed
over all classes, and would therefore
reduce the amount the individuals of
any class are called upon to pay.
In the meantime, however. the city
administration is exerting every in
fluence toward the adoption of the
privilege tax, which has been pro-
vided by ordinance, and referred by
petition to a special election called
for September Is. The council is
pledged to repeal this tax as soon
as some other source of revenue il 4
provided adequate to meet the re-
quirements of the city. Unless the
privilege tax is endorsed, the city
government will be seriously Grip
pied.

Race Troubles Due
to Negro Papers, is
Charge Of Texan

Washington, Aug. 25.-Race anita
gonism over the country is due to
"incendiary utterances of would-be-
leaders of the race now being cir
and magazines" Representative
Byrnes, democrat, of South Carolina,
declared today in the house. Behind
this propaganda, he said, were de-
sires Of some politicians to increase
the number Of negro voters and de-
signs by some capitalists to secure
negroes as prospective strike break
ers and levers to keep down wages.
Negroes in the South are alleged
to be ill-treated, Byrnes said, where
as the southern negro is actually
making rapid progress, accumulat-
ing money, buying property and edu-
eating his children"

INVENTION AIDS
IN LOCATION OF
DEPOSITS OF OIL
Texan Creates Electrical Device
Which Indicates Where Oil
Exists.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 25.-A
new oil locating invention was
brought to Fort Worth by Eugene
Elkins of Corsicana, and local oil men
whom have seen the system are very
much interested.
The invention is called the Crow
ley oil and mineral locator and has
been tested out in the Corsicana
shallow field and was so convincing
in its operation that number Of
those who saw it Immediately became
interested in the company formed to
market the system. The inventor, K.
j. Crowley, has number of the
worlds greatest inventions to his
credit, being an electrical engineer,
and he has recently perfected an
electric storage battery which will
revolutionize that field as his battery
by actual test, develops 16 IL more
efficiency than any other battery on
the market. A big factory will be
built in Dallas in the near future
by number of leading business men
of that city to put this battery on the
market.
A small working model of the oil
locator was demonstrated yesterday
to number of local men at booth q,
central stock exchange, and those
who saw it pronounced it thoroughly
feasible and practical. 1t is the in
tention of the owners of the inven-
ton to make thorough test of this
system in this field and with this end
in view they will be glad to have a
committee Of local men pick out a
suitable property for this test. A
number of the big companies are
watching the working out of these
tests and the company handling the
invention expects to have their hands
full in the near future making tests
all over Texas.
Belief by Mr.. Crowley explains that
his system consists OF forming an
electrical circuit through the earth
by dropping an insulated wire to the
bottom Of dry or water hole, valley
or other indention, placing a series
of batteries on top of the earth, to
the positive pole of which is attach
ed land WIRE This land wire is
then taken out over the field in any
direction to make thorough test OF
this the intermediate territory is COM
bed thoroughly with electric currents
following from the annode or posi-
tive pole to the cathode or negative
The earth being simply huge invert-
ed magnet, the electrical currents
travel from one to the other of the
charged poles by the path of least re-
sistance, much as does the return cur
rent of the telegraph system through
its ground wires to the point Of Origin
That system also proves that the
principle Of earth conductively OF
electricity is absolutely correct.
Oil and its constituent components
being the only mineral in the earth
through which electricity can not pass
it therefore follows that an oil poo
in the path of the electric currents
mentioned, will offer great resist
ance to the said currents, forcing
them to go around the pool and alsl
resulting in an appreciate loss Of
current through electrolysis, both Of
these resistances on an extremely
delicate meter in the hands of the
operator, on the surface Of the earth

TEST SEED CORN
BEFORE SOWING
War Emergency Taught Farmers
of Country Lesson That Will
Be Useful in Peace.
WORK in MISSOURI COUNTY
Four Thousand Bushels Rejected From
10000 in One Section-Egg Crates
With Strawboard Cells
Used for Testing.

No, not a munition factory. Those
cylindrical objects lying in orderly
rows on shelves are not shrapnel. but
ears of corn The slender f1aments
that are being sorted so carefully are
not fuses, but sprouts The girls so
busily at work before bench or box
are not handling picrates. but seed
corn
The whole shows graphically how
one agent of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the Mis-
souri, Agricultural college went about
making sure that the 1918 corn crop
would not fail the cause of world free
dom for lack of viab1e seed. 1t is
representative of what many county
agents, the country over, are doing
now, wherever occasion arises, to make
sure that the 1919 crop will not fail
for a like reason.
What One County Saved.
These pictures show the central test
ing station established in February,
1918, by the county agent of Living
ston county, Missouri. In this, and in
eight local testing stations scattered
| about the county, 1O,951 bushels of
corn We're .tear tested before corn
planting time came last spring OF this
corn more than 1000 bushels were
| thrown out as being unfit for planting
which means that 1000 bushels of
| corn were saved for feed Otherwise,
| it would have rotted in the ground,
| making an equivalent replanting neces-
sary. More than 5000 bushels were
certified as being sure to give a salts
factory percentage of termination
In this instance egg crates, with
4 their little straw-board cells, were used
| for testing-a somewhat novel method
| that has found favor in some localities
| The kernels to be tested are planted in
| the pasteboard cells, six grains from
| an ear, and cell to each ear. After
| crates are opened and the ears are
| saved for seed discarded, according
to the percentage of termination
shown by the corresponding kernels
| Each ear has a number corresponding
| to that of the cell in which the sample
kernels taken from it are put for ger
mination, SO it is easy to make the
final sorting.

RETURNS FROM TESTING

Testing seed corn for germina-
ton is the least expensive meth
cd of increasing the yield of
corn per acre.
Without seed testing, all other
means of increasing the yield
will fall short of what they
should accomplish.
The testing of seed corn by
any of the approved methods is
not difficult.
The time spent in testing seed
corn is likely to be paid for at
the time of planting and is GER
tain to be paid for MANIFOLD at
harvest.
Corn that appears to be sound
does not always terminate. If
no test is made, considerable
quantities of kound-appearing
corn are likely to be planted only
to rot in the ground. If tested,
this corn would not be planted
and would serve all the purposes
of good feed
A field planted to tested seed
corn requires little or no replant-
ing. All plants have an even
start and develop evenly to a
fuller yield than where stunted
rep1ants are present.

Back to MeadowIands!

must go forth to the fields again
And all I ask is Some eaimness
And little ease from strife; COMO
And the grass blades shaking;
And pink dawn breaking
Wherein the versemaker, in other
years and out of the desire OF his
heart, pretty accurately outlined the
program for American farmers in the
good, peaceful year of 1919 The strife
is passed. The calmnesS is come. And
now the call is for a return to grass
meadows and pasture lots and live
stock.
In the years of strife and stress
many farmers pIowed up permanent
them to grain crops to meet the worlds
need for bread. Now that farming is
to be restored to a peace-time basis,
the United States department of agri-
culture says it seems wise that many
of these lands be reseeded to grass.
The signing of the arnistice found
the United States well supplied with
foods, but comparatively short on
| feeds, but with an urgent demand for
| meat animals, in the production OF
which feeds and pasturage are essen
| tia1.
The department of agriculture, of
course, does not urge abandonment OF
profitable grain farming, but it points
out, in its survey of the 1919 situation.
| that the sacrifice of grass lands and
| the abandonment of rotation systems
| in response to the world demand for
| more cereals has resulted in deple-
| ton of fertility which must be restored
| by the establishment of rotations
/ pastures, meadows, 1eguminous crops
