Unsuitable appetite for flying, defed ali rules of
formation and safety In the air
IF any layman or landsman reading the hrs
tory OF LukeS career is inclined to fancy that
balloon strafing is easy trick, no experienced
pilot shares that Illusion" says Colonel Hartney.
In reality it is the most dangerous exploit any
man in any branch of the service can undertake.
The concentration of anti-arcraft fire from the
ground makes it much more hazardous than other
fighting. On every occasion of such attempts
Luke's machine was literally riddIed with bullets
and twice he was compelled to abandon his air
plane and break in one.
Here is a sample of the work Luke did: Sep
TENDER 10, 1913, the enemy succeeded in getting
another balloon up at BOinville, and a second at
BOis d'Hingry. Luke had been watching like a
hawk this area and the moment a balloon assembled
he spotted it and returned to his own aerOdrome
with data and appeal to be allowed to de-
stroy it.
Before Luke went out on that afternoon, there
fore, new tactics were decided upon Three friend
y escorting patrols Of five machines were TO dart
TO LukeS rescue, timed to arrive at the objective
90 seconds after Luke. Our balloons were advised
by courier that at ;O5 that afternoon Luke would
shoot down the Boinvflle balloon and asked TO be
on the lookout Almost to the second Luke was
perceived diving homeward, with formation of
five enemy FOkkers sitting on his tail and b11rn-
ing balloon falling in the background. He man.
aged to dodge the fire of the enemy and landed on
his own side OF the line and not far the most
advanced American troops. Those on the ground
thought that he lost. He had in fact landed
to get his own bearings and those of the second

with express instructions not to attempt to go
down on the balloon until so, Luke left his home
field at Rembercourt, accompanied by Wehner. As
before and precisely at z 80 in the dusk of the
evening his comrades the aerOdrOme watched
the balloon fall in flames, giving Luke his third
official victory Of the day.
Il have all the details of his meteOric career
For his glorious work on September o. 1918. the
day of his death, he awarded the medal. He
started out to destroy three Hun observation bal
looms When nearly overhead he attacked by
ten enemy machines. He engaged all Of them
sfngIe-handed and crashed two of the ten. Then
he dropped-out of control, it seemed, but most
likely only pretending to be When he reached
the level OF the balloons he shot them down one
after another in fames-a1l three of them. The
anti-aircraft guns were very busy about the sec
ond balloon. After that he disappeared"
The Americans made every effort to solve the
mystery OF Luke's disappearance. The report OF
Captain Staten and the affidavit OF citizens of
Murvaux given herewith show the situation of
one stage of the proceedings.
The remains OF the intrepid air fighter were
buried close by in grave marked as that of an I'm
known American aviator" 1t was stripped as the
Germans thought, Of everything that would iden-

was found later and sent to the Identification

FARMERS FAVOR GOOD ROADS
Recognized as Greatest Economic Need
OF Agricultural Communities in
Eastern States.

Good roads are the greatest eco
nomic need for agricultural commune
ties. This is the answer of 200 prom
inent farmers of the state of Maine TO
QueStiOnnaires which asked them to
summarize urgent necessities to bring
their districts up to the desired eco
homie standard.
The farmers who answered the Oues-
t1onnaires were selected as those best
fitted to answer the questions, and
they were asked to furnish a digest
of the situation in their respective COM
munities with reference 20 acreage,
crops, farm improvements, civic and
social conditions, etc.
The definitions of the greatest needs
covered wide and interesting range.
The largest record Of needs was good
roads, 85 emphasizing the urgent ne
cessity OF adequate highways. There
were 45 who asked for more farm
laborers, A for cooperative buying
and selling, 35 for better school priv
ileges, % for more bluebloOded stock,
% for manufacturing plants, % for
better marketing facilities, and 81 for
greater credit extensions by banks.

During the heat OF summer egg
losses in the South aggregate a con-
siderable sum, largely due to the de-
velOpment of fertile eggs. 1t is essen
tial that southern producers exert ey-

source of loss. A common opinion pre-
walls that the leghorns are particularly

ROADS AS DIVIDEND PAYERS
Where Good Roads Enable Farmer to
Save One Hour Per Week He
Makes Big Gain In Year.

If a farmer saves an hour a week
by being enabled to use good roads
as opposed to bad roads, it would
mean 50 hours year; estimating the
use of man and team as being worth
SO day, this means a saving OF $31.20
a year.
. Suppose his farm is assessed at
$4,000, and the additional tax levy
due to the issue of road bonds by the
county runs to 81 per thousand, which
would mean $40 a year additional
taxes as against a saving of S31.20 on
time alone. This means that he is
investing $40 and drawing dividends Of
$31.2O, an interest rate of 312 per
cent.
