AIRMEN IN POTATO RACES.

Potato races in the air were used
by instructors at flying fields in
teaching cadets accuracy and quick
ness in flights.
Each team consisted of pilot and
a mechanic. They flew from the main
landing field to each of the out
lying fields in turn, making a land
ing at each field to pick up a potato,
returning to the main landing field
to deposit it. At each Of the outly-
ing fields was a whitewashed mark
Oh the ground before which each of
the ships landed. Rules of the con-
test also required the mechanic to
climb out of the ship at each mark,
pick up his potato and climb back
into the ship. In a recent potato
race in Texas the dist7~ travelled
was "a miles.

RINGS OF HISTORIC INTEREST
Many That Were Worn by Famous
Personaues Are Known to Be
In Existence Today.

The donation of famous rings and
other jewelry to Red Cross funds
reminds us that one of the most in
teresting of the historical rings that
have come down to our times is the
signet one of Mary Queen of Scots,
which is now in the British museum.
The general opinion is that this was
her nuptial ring when she was mar
ried to Darnley. Another celebrated
ring is the one Queen Elizabeth is
supposed to have sent to the earl
of Essex, but which, as all know,
he failed to receive. 1t is of gold,
with the queens head cut on onyx,
and is now in the possession of the
Rev. Lord John Thyme, a descend
hnt Of Essex's daughter. In 1865,
In the prison where John Bunyan
was once confined, was found a ring
bearing his initials, ~. b." and also
an engraving Of a deaths head. This
ring, after passing through several
hands, finally came into the posses
sion of a curate of Elstow, where
Bunyan was born. The signet ring
of Caesar Borgia was on exhibition
some years ago at a meeting of the
British Archaeological association.
1t is gold, slightly enameled, with
the date "15O3" and a motto on the
inside. At the back is a slide, with
in which, it is related, he carried
the poison he was in the habit of
dropping into the wine of his guests.

HAVE SOME SHARK MEAT7

Shark meat is a considerable part
of the food of the poorer Arabs and
Somals of Alden and vicinity. A
consular report states that in the
cooler months of October to March
the Alden fishermen alone may
bring in from $50 to 200 sharks
daily, those of three to seven feet
being caught in strongly woven nets,
100 to $50 feet long and 25 feet wide,
while the larger ones are taken with
hooks. The fresh fish are very cheap,
a shark of three to four feet average
ing 35 cents in the local markets,
or a fourth or fifth of the cost of
other fish. Shark jaws and other
bones are sold as curios, while
cheap oil is extracted from the liv-
ers. The skins seem to be little used,
and may help to supply the demand
for shark leather the United States
bureau of fisheries would create.

HOW PRUNE is CULTIVATED
Process Is Not So Simple as Probably
Many Of us Have Hitherto
Supposed.

What is a prune? Most of us
would say a dried plum. Our excuse
for lacking more specific knowledge
is that even if we can grow plums
we cannot cure plums. But in Cal
ifornia, from which we are the larg-
est purchasers of dried fruit, a
prune primer tits utterance pro-
duees an expression almost as gen.
teel as prunes and prisms } is issued
for the use of children, observes
London Chronicle.
Here we are told that though the
prune tree grows from seed it is in
an odd way. A piece of an apricot
seed is planted, and when the little
tree is a year old it is cut to the
ground and a piece of live prune tree
fastened to it. After three years
the prunes grow, the deep blue ripe
fruit being most plentiful at the end
of August and beginning of Septem-
Der.
At the right moment the prunes
fall to the ground and are picked
up. When graded in sizes the
prunes are dipped in hot liquid to
crack the skins, and then are given
a cOld-water bath.
Next they are placed on trays for
four or five days to dry in the sun
shine, for, unlike England, it rarely
rains during the California summer.
About $4,000 acres, each acre with
100 trees, are planted with prunes.

Apr. 10, 1928, and settled in
Hampstead county in 1851,
where he has lived ever since.
He was elected to the Senate
at the age of 80. He served
during a portion Of the Civil
war in the Goth Arkansas In
fantry, being promoted to lieu
tenant colonel shortly after en-
listing. He was twice elected
to the House of Representatives
from Hampstead county since
the Civil war, was twice elected
county Judge and was formerly
a member of the State Capt.
tol Commission. In all these
various POSITIONS the resolu-
ton sets forth, he at all times
evidenced the highest degree
Of patriotism, the strictest ad-
herence to right and justice, the
most faithful discharge of du-
ty, public and private, coupled
with a sense of honor and in
tegrity worthy of emulation by
all who know him. His influ-
ence for good and his example
during all these years, has been
of untold benefit to the young
men of the county. His char
acter is pure and unspotted by
calumny from any quarter
and he is now nearly 81 years
of age-blind, unable to walk
or even stand, but with his
memory as bright as in his
younger days, and is quietly
awaiting the final call that will
come to us all.
1t is with keen pleasure that
the Telegraph noted the pass
ing of this highly compliment
tary resolution in the Senate,
honoring one of the county's
noblest characters while he is
yet living.
Judge Carrigan has spent the
greater part of his life in this
city and he is held in the high
est esteem by our citizens. Fur
thermore, the Telegraph man
agement feels specially kindly
toward this grand old man,
honoring him as its oldest liv-
ing subscriber. 1t is our hope
that his declining years, sur
rounded as he is by loved ones,
may be the happiest of his long
and useful life.

WHY NOT 4 GOOD ROAD
FROM HERE TO HOPE?

Now that the war has been
won and the restrictions on
construction work removed, it
would be a splendid idea for
those having the welfare of our
county at heart to get their
heads together and devise
means and plans for getting
some of the roads in the coun-
ty in a passible condition. 1t
is really not magnifying the
situation to say that nearly all
the roads of Hampstead coun-
ty, one of the richest and best
counties of the state, are al
most impossible at this time.
This, of course, is not true at
all times, but none of them are
at any season of the year as
good as they should or could
be if our citizens would only
realize the benefits derived
by having roads that stay per-
fectly good the year round.
1t has been suggested from
several quarters lately that a
good, hard surface road be con-
structed from Washington to
Hope and we believe such a
road would meet the hearty ap-
proval of the majority of the
citizens of both towns, as well
as those living between the two
towns. This road is one of the
most travelled highways of the
county and if it could be con-
structed of hard-surface mate
rial it would be of great value
to the citizens of the county in
general, as well as to the towns
thus connected.
There are a great many Sec
tions in this state and elsewhere
where the soils are much less
productive and the people not
so prosperous that are very far
ahead of good old Hampstead
county in the matter of roads,
and these sections like them so
well that they are soirg after.

SHELLEY'S WORK IN DEMAND
Pamphlet Which Poet Wrote and Gave
Away Now Eagerly Bid for
by Collectors.

Three hundred and fifty pounds,
or $l,15O, is the price set in the cat
alogue Of a famous London firm Of
dealers in rare books and manu-
scripts upon a copy of a pamphlet
that was originally written to be
given away.
This pamphlet is the poet Shell
leys address to the Irish People" ("
In which he advocated home rule
and Catholic emancipation. As soon
as it was printed he threw copies
from the balcony of his lodgings in
lower Sackville street, Dublin. He
was then twenty-one--it was in
1812-and was in Dublin for the
purpose of applying his youthful
ideas of reforming the world.
As the poet himself wrote, 81
stand at the balcony of our window
and watch till | see a man who looks
hkely-I throw book at him"
The copy of Shelley's address
which is now to be sold is, of course,
a very special one; it is, in fact, the
one that he sent to his father, and
contains the poets autographed cor.
rections. The pamphlet has several
times fetched over $500, SO collec-
tors especially American ones, are
not likely to haggle over the figure
that is now set upon it.

Federal appropriations are

Federal appropriations are
now available to assist those
communities which believe in
good roads strong enough to
put some of their own cash into
the construction and it occurs
to us that Hampstead county
might as we'll be the beneficiary
as not.
It is not worth while to argue
the many benefits to be derived
from a road that will stay firm
at all seasons, but it would be
we'll if some of those who have
lately been swimming their way
through mud that is hub deep
could, while in the act, get a
vision of such a road. Indeed,
where it now requires four
mules to pull an empty wagon,
if we would only put in hard
surface road one could draw a
loaded wagon with all ease.
The Telegraph feels that this
proposition is worth consider
ing and invites correspondence
on the subject. Let us attempt
to build a good roadfromWash-
ington to Hope and then keep
at it until every community is
served with such roads.
