IL During the past2four years we have
witnessed great increase in the
price of grains and foodstuffs. Corn
advanced from 60 cents to 81 per
busheI. 81 Wheat increased in value
during this period from 90c to $3.50
per 0ushel, and the price OF all other
grains accordingly. Meat and animal
products rapidly increased In value.
For instance, pork rose in value from
six cents per pound live weight to
81 cents per pound. However, there
was one exception to this condition;
Poultry prices advance only from IL

Within six. months the era of
commercial aviation will have arriv-
ed, according to Second Assistant
Postma ster General Otto Praeger,
who made this prediction before the
Macon Rotary club on Wednesday.
Mr.. Praeger, more than any. other
person in America, is qualified to
speak of the possibility Of CONNER
cial flying. .~'.-.,
In his official capacity. the respon-
sibility has been his to arrange for
and oversee, the transportation #

his instance that the postofffce de
partment inaugurated the first aerial
mail, route between New York and
Washington. May Is will mark, the
first anniversary of the successful
operation of this service. Mr.. 'Prae-
ger knows the advantages and the
shortcomings of the" airplane as a
transportation agency.
Commercial flying" said he, IRE
quires, first, safety in flight and
safety in landing; second, absolute
certainty of remaining in the air5un-
til the objective point is reached;
and, lastly, speed enough to over

sonable fast climb, good ceiling and
heavy load capacity. @''. S-a
"One years operation of the ae-
rial mail has pointed out the way
for such a machine and on June 2
we shall receive bids and specifica-
tions for it's creation. Within six
months thereafter such planes will
be delivered to us, and then, gentle
men, commercial aviation will have
arrived

A cab drove up and stopped in
front of the hotel then drove hur-
riedly away just before the porter
found the injured man. He may have
been dumped out of the cab.
But the only impression the man
Of mystery has is that he was struck
with a blackjack-and he holds his
head as he says it.
Asked for specimen of his hand
writing, the man Of mystery wrote:
Maurice Leroy Winners
But he isn't at all certain Of his
name or whence he came and he has
but dim impressions of London, al
though able a few days after he was
picked up to read and discuss an &C.
count of his adventure.
The man of mystery is about "a
years old. He has fair hair and com
plexion and powerful physique.
His finger prints have been taken
and sent to Washington in the hope
that his Identity may be there es-
tablished. For despite publication of
his picture and story in the London
papers, and the visits of many MEM
bers of the American expeditionary
force to the naval hospital, no one
has been able to tell who the man OF
mystery is.

YOUNG TOWERS,
FLIGHT CELEBRITY,
NATIVE OF ROME

The officer who is in charge of the
first seaplane flight started across
the Atlantic ocean and who is HIM
self plotting one of the machines,
is a Rome, Ca, boy, born and bred.
This man, as the world knows: is
years old, who is in command Of the
three seaplanes that "hopped off" at
Rockaway Beach Thursday morning
for Halifax, the first leg of the
transatlantic flight.
Commander Towers was in sea
the air, and the outcome of the
thrilling air adventure will be of
interest to the entire world, and of
particular interest to all Georgians
because Of the fact that the "admi-
raj of the Nancies" lived in this
state up to the time he left Rome
to enter the naval academy at An
napolis.
In Rome Commander John H. Tow
ers is not known as Commander Tow
ers. but as John" He was educat-
ed there in the public schools and
high schools, and is the son OF the
late Mr.. w. M. Towers, who was
widely known in Georgia. In 1906
young Towers was graduated from
flyers, becoming fascinated with fly
ing when the game was young.
Five years ago, while stationed in
London, he married Miss Lily Car
stairs, Of Philadelphia, and during
the past few years they have made
their home in Washington.
Commander Towers enjoys the dis
tinction OF having ptloted Glenn H.
Curtiss' first flying boat and four
years ago, while flying over Chesa-
peake bay, his machine fell, drown
ing his companion. At the time of
the outbreak of the war Commander
Towers was a naval lieutenant, hav-
ing been promoted rapidly during
the past four years. He was on
duty in Europe as an observer with
the French forces in 1915, and made
several visits to England before the
United States declared war against
Germany.
After returning from Europe Com
mander Towers was placed on duty
at Washington, where his services
were considered so invaluable that he
was not again sent overseas During
1917 Commander Towers spent con-
siderable time at Akron, o., where
the America" type Of seaplane was
made, and he went later to an air
station on the Atlantic coast and or
ganized the first fleet of naval
"blimpr or dirigibles.
Miss Mary Towers, a sister of the
naval commander, and r. N. Towers.
a brother, are now living in Rome.

GIRLS! HAVE 4 MASS
Of BEAUTIFUL HAIR,
SOFT, GLOSSY, WAW
A small bottle destroys dan
druff and doubles beauty
of your hair.

Within ten minutes after an appll-
cation of Danderine you can not find
a single trace of dandruff or railing
hair and your scalp will not itch,
but what will please you most will
be after a few weeks use, when you
see new hair, fine and downy at first
-yes-but really new hair-growlng
all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle
and scraggy, just moisten a cloth
with D~derine and carefully draw
it through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. The effect
is Advantageous hair will be light,
fluffy and wavy, and have an APP
pearance Of abundance; an incompar-
able luster, softness and luXuriance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any-that it has been neg
lected or injured by careless treat
ment-that's all-you surely can
have beautiful haid and lots of it if
you will just try little Danderine.

Summer spraying Of apples in the
home orchard is particularly impor-
tant this year with all food products
on a rising market. Under the pres
desirable to save staple foods and
reduce the labor expended in produc-
ing foods, special attention should
be given to the fruit already planted
on practically every farm and on
many city lots, say the experts OF
the United States department of ag-
riculture.
There are few farms that do not
have a few fruit trees, and in many
cases the disable fruit does not pay
rent on the ground the trees occupy;
not because the trees are barren nor
because they are of worthless yarie-
ties, but through neglect of the own
er to spray. ..
Spraying has been so often consid-
cred by the uninitiated a complex
and expensive operation that many
farmers have decided to trust in
providence for their fruit crop and
leave the growing of worthless and
disease-free fruit to the commercial
fruit grower. This not only deprives
the family of the necessary diet ele-
ments found in fruit, but means pay
ing high prices for food to take the
place of the fruit that might easily
be grown.
Spray materials and methods have
been so simplified in the last few
years that it is neither difficult nor
expensive to spray the few trees on
the home place. Spray mixtures may
be so combined that several diseases
and insect pests are reached with
the one application.
The summer applications are par
ticularly important where clean,
sound apples that will keep in stor-
for winter use are desired.
Summer Spray Schedules
The first summer spray should be
put on just before the blossoms open.
This is for the plum curculio, the bud
moth, case bearers, the tent caterpil-
lar, cankerworms and apple Scab. Use
l IL gallons of lime-sulphur solu-
ton to each SO gallons of water. Add
to this pounds of arsenate of lead
paste. If apple aphids or apple red
bugs are much in evidence, add IL
pint of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate
The second spray must be applied
as soon as the blossoms fall. 1t con-
trolls the same diseases and insects
as the first summer spray, and in ad-
dition, the codling moth and leaf
spot. Use the same mixture.
This is the most important applfca-
ton for both the apple scab and the
codling moth, so that careful and
thorough work must be done if scab-
free and worthless apples are desired.
Failure to do thorough spraying at
this time for the cooling moth cannot
be remedied by future applications.
Apply the spray with sufficient force
to drive it into the calyx end of each
little apple.
For the third application use the
same mixture three to four weeks aft
err the blossoms fall, unless apple
blotch has been prevalent in former

Some Action Needed; !. p

North Hampstead Nassau county,
Long Island, is all stirred up. The
town jail, or lookup, as 1t Is known
in that part of Long Island, has been
condemned by the state prison COM
mission, and Ike Smith, one of the
town consta bles,. is in such dire need
of a regular policeman's uniform
that he must have some new clothes
or stay indoors and suspend the per-
Torrance of his duties. And Con-
stable Smith feels that he would no
longer be terror to the wrongdoers
of the Town of North Hampstead if
he did not wear the regulation blue
outfit just like a city policeman and
display a big shield of the sort he
has seen in the movies. Ike polishes
his shield every day and he wants
his clothes to be just as spic and

1.-THE mystery man of Mayfair" U.
s. naval hospital attaches came TO
call him. -
His name may be seely-it may be
something else.
He thinks his home is in the Great
Lakes region Of the United states
and st, Paul sounds familiar to him.
But his memory is mostly blank;
The mystery man was found, cIao
only in his underclothing and pair
of Shoes, lying in a dazed condition
near the Curzon hotel in Mayfair. HIS
underclothing was Of the -Unlted
States navy and naval trousers ana
hat were found in the garden OF
nearby house. The shoes bear the
initials "a. G." 8-..
The night porter of the Hotel Cur
zon found the mystery man.
"I ran across to him and raised MS
head" says the porter. "He murmur-
ed, 'Oh, God, won't sign it! l think
he said it twice.
"His legs were bare and scratched
as though he" had been dragged over
a step His boots were unlaced:
"I thought he might have been dop-
ed, but there was no smell of drugs
or drink and no tWitching OF the

less than three weeks after the bios
SONS have fallen. This is the sec
ond treatment for codling meth and
leaf-spot, and gives further protec-
ton against apple scab and some in
sects! -.:< sa;s'%i,],. ~
For the fourth spray use Bordeaux
mixture (3-4-50) with arsenate of
lead added, eight to nine weeks after
the petals fall. This controls the bit
ter rot, and the arsenical added gets
the second brood of codlinges&sn1al.oth.
If the bitter rot has been @serious
in former years thisas1 appM cation
should be advanced about5ofie week.
In ordinary sea onsi espe cialiy3sin

tions, four applications will be suf-
ficferft+ to protect the fruit from the
various insects and diseases mention
ed. In the central states, where
blotch and bitter rot are prevalent,
two more applications will be neces-
sary for fall and winter apples In
the case of summer apples only the
first three applications are neces-
sary.
Two More Sprays
If conditions make more spraying
necessary to insure good fruit, apply
a fifth application two to three weeks
application for bitter rot. Use Bor
deaux mixture. Since little extra ex-
pense comes from adding arsenate of
lead, this may be profitab1y done
as further insurance against late
appearing larvae of the cooling moth
The sixth spray is a further treat
ment for bitter rot and is ordinarily
sufficient to carry the fruit through
to maturity Use Bordeaux mix
ture two to three weeks after the
fifth application
For the man with only a small or
chard a spray outfit may be rugged
up cheaply at home. Get an old vine
gar or whisky barrel and a force
pump, or barrel outfits may be OBJ
tanned already assembled.
There is no good excuse for doing
without plentiful supply of choice
apples if you already have trees of
bearing age.
