ENDS FLIGHT
AT MINEOLA
GREAT BRiTAIN'S DIRIGisLE R-34
LANDS AFTER LONG
FLIGHT.
REACHES DESTINATION
FIRST LIGHTER-THAN-Ai CRAFT
TO CROSS ATLANTIC
OCEAN.
Newspaper Union New. Service.

Mineola, N. T.. July 7.-Great Brit
aims super-dirigible R-34, the first
lighter than-air machine to cross the
Atlantic ocean, anchored here At
Roosevelt flying field yesterday after
an aerial voyage of 1OS hours and II
minutes, which covered 5000 miles.
Passing through dense banks of clouds,
with the sun and sea visible only at
rare intervals, the R-34 was forced to
cruise 1850 miles to reach Trinity bay,
Newfoundland, from East Fortune,
Scotland, and 1,OsO miles from there
to MineOla.
When the super-Zeppelin arrived
here she had left only enough petrol
to keep her moving ninety minutes
longer. Her crew, almost sleepless for
four and half days, were weary al
most to the point of exhaustion, but
happy at the successful completion Of
their trip.
Haggard, unshaven, their eyes blood
shot from the long vigil and lines OF
care bitten deep into their faces, Maj.
G. H. Scott, the commander, and his
officers showed plainly the effects of
the anxious hours through which they
lived yesterday while they were cruis-
ing over the far reaches of Canada
and the Bay Of Fun1y, beset by fog,
heavy winds and terrific electrical
storms.
1T seemed as though the atmOs-
phere was haunted by 5000 devils."
said Lieut.. Guy Harris, the meteore-
logical officer.
With the R-34 long overdue at its
destination, petrol supply running low
and buffeted by strong winds, Major
Scott decided while over the Bay Of
Fundy to send u wireless call to the
American Navy Department to prepare
to give assistance IL it were needed.
While destroyers and submarine
chasers were racing to her assistance.
the R-34 was plugging steadily ahead
on the way to MineOla. Once clear Of
the Bay of Fundy, the hOodoO which
had beset the craft from the time it
took the air was gradually left in its
wake. -.-
The R-34 headed southwest out
across the Atlantic along the coast Of
Maine, her nose pointed for Cape Cod,
with the United States destroyer Ban
croft hanging on her tail, and in con-
slant wireless communication with
her. The destroyer struck close In the
wake of the air monster. running un-
der forced draft, until Cape Cod was
reached, and then the diriglble cut
across lots.
While the R-34 was circling the field
at a great height, Major Pritchard
jumped off with parachute. He land
ed safely near headquarters and smil-
ingly hurried indoors before an ambu-
lance that had been rushed to the
scene could reach him.
Lieutenant Hoyt, U. s. NJ, the
ground officer, had assembled on the
field a force of more than 500 SOL
diers and sailors ready for immediate
action as the R-34 circled lower and
lower. When she was only 200 feet
from the ground huge hawser was
let loose from under her nose. Brit
ish non-commissiOned officers with
American soldiers and sailors shouted
gleefully as they seized the rope and
hung on

It is through the use Of such APP
parently sound potatoes for seed that
the disease is often spread to new
localities.
How Disease May Be Spread.
Under ordinary conditions the pota-
to wart disease spreads slowly. II
lives In the soil and on the tubers,
30 one or the other must usually be-
transported to introduce the disease
into a new field or locality. The
spores may be carried into clean soil
by drainage from infected soil. ON the
feet Of men or animals, by planting
diseased potatoes. by planting sound
tubers that have grown on infected
soil, by the use of manure from ami.
mails to which diseased potatoes have
been fed. and by garbage into which
peelings from diseased potatoes have
been thrown.
Preventive Measures.
No method Of controlling the potato
wart disease has yet been discovered.
SO every preventive measure must BIO
used to keep 1t from spreading. The
warts should be burned. Diseased
trbers must not be fed to live stock
without first being boiled. Infested
soil should be planted to other cropa
Potatoes should not be planted again
in Infested soil for at least eight years.
Federal and state agricultural au-
tborities are working to prevent the
spread Of potato wart, but they will
need heartiest cooperation from every
grower and dealer Of potatoes to
save the industry from this new
menace. Experiments are being con-
Quoted to learn. If possible. ways Of
controlling the malady. and Informs
ton will be furnished rs rapidly a.
discovered. But potato wart disease
Ia much easier to prevent than to con-
troll.
Keep watch at digging time for
potatoes with warty growths which
are whitish or light brown when young.
black and decayed when old. Report
promptly all suspicious cases to your
county agent. to your state agricul-
tural experiment station or to the
United States department Of agricul-
ture.

their country and cities until the Lord fought on our side. When they conquered their enemy and from then on throughout all the ages America had war no more. Thus we can ex- pect our next real war with foreign enemy sometime after the middle of this century. So it behooves Ameri- ca to prepare for it.
 On Christmas eve night I dreamed Of Little Rock and her new undertak- ings. The city and surrounding coun- try had ceased from it's war work and had turned to an until now neg leeted industry for this section and the new structures were erected so close together that there was not room to pass between them. The work men however were very sullen and put in a great deal of time talking and laying plans to overcome their masters. When they saw me they wanted to know what 1 was doing there. 1 met labor agitator, or rather bolsheyiki, a great big burly
 
 of humanity. He was very cordial with me and accompanied me until we got to where the structures were too close together for him to get through when I went on as far as I could go. He urged his bolshevik doc trines on the workmen, but they re- jeeted them. Only their high wages held them in line and the fear of what has happened in Russia.
 Then I went to a woman merchant and retsauranteer for dinner. She told of the high prices of eatables. How she had to search the city dump grounds to make enough to buy sugar which cost her 30 cents a pound wholesale. l think that our intelli- gent readers can understand this plainly as indicating prosperous times, far exceeding our past prosperity for the laboring man, but it will be hard on the poor, who have no strong workers to assist them The high prices will consume the laborer's big pay, but for the present year they will be content to draw their big pay and talk and plan to overcome the profiteers later I could name the new industry, but think it best not to do SO
 I hope later to tell of crop condi- tions.
 Since writing the above l read in

A VISION FOR 1919.

Early last year I wrote forecast for 1918 which turned out to be so accurate that number of the Pulas- kiaA's readers have begun to ask one for 1919. So I shall give them such information as l have on the subject.
 When this big world war got we'll under way, realized that the pro phecy in the Bible of the war was not figurative and referred only to the war between good and evil, as many people believed, and I myself thought possible, but was to be taken literal ly. Then I recognized the fact that this war was only preparing the way for yet greater one. In prophecy ing of this war the prophet described 1t as the drying up of the river Flu pirates, preparing the way for the kings of the east" The river Flu pirates belonged to Turkey, but the English have dried up Turkey, or the river Euphrates, so now the way for the kings of tn eeast is open to them. Who are they? While we have ascribed many antocratic pow CTS to the Kaiser and have claimed that the Germans worshipped him, if we will enquire carefully of the Japs and their emperor we will find every thing we have said of Germany to apply with ten fold force to them The stronghold of autocracy is now centered in Japan and her emperor must be the leading king of the east spoken of in the scriptures.
 Each or our wars has been pre- ceeded by d smaller one to prepare for the greater struggle following it, so we must not be surprised if the men trained in this war have been prepared to become the officers of the next war.
 We should cease to count our late opponents as enemies, but should recognize in them now democratized people our companions in arms in the next great war propheeied Of an the Bible.
 In my most wonderful Perry county crystal can look into one facet and see an American general, while in the next to it l can see q general with a metal helmet on with an eagle on the helmet. He has q mustache and bright medals on his uniform Nature did not make this by chance. It was made to real intelligence and pos sibly refers to Von Hndenburg assist ing the allies in preparing for the coming great struggle.
 When will the great struggle be- gin? Washington at Valley Forge saw vision in which he beheld America grow until from the Atlantic to the Pacific it was settled up with prosperous people, villages and cities. In the vision he clearly saw the Mexi- can war, the rebellion of 1860 and about 100 years later he beheld the country overrun with dark-skinned Europeans (Asiatics?) and they fought the Americans and laid waste

EMERGENCY OFFICERS
SOON TO BE DISCHARGED
q. S. Army Action Within Next
Five Weeks Will Affect 10000
Men Who Hold Commissions.

In announcing that 10000 emergency
officers must be discharged within the
next five weeks in order that the COM
missioned strength Of the Army may be
brought down to $4,000, the War Depart
ment declared in a statement today that
1.-THE accident of war and the process
of Rehabilitation are at an end The
officers to be retained will be selected
from applicants for permanent appoint
ment
1.-THE difficulties of adjustment" the
statement said, have been increased
by the uncertainties as to the future
military policy of the government, the
inadequacy of pay in the face of the
high cost of living and the failure of
all classes to realize that economies
must be promptly met
After stating that the Army. so far
as it's regular officers are concerned, is
to be returned to a normal basis. the
statement points out the great savings
that will result from the reduction of
rank of officers. In the grade of colonel
for instance, there will be saved $4,000
a week, as on November l there will
be only 693 officers of this rank, while
now there are LOO.

ment of the proposed zone system of
fare collections on local street car lines,
complimented the association on it's
rapid growth.
He urged that representatives be sent
to the hearing of the Public Utilities
Commission to voice opposition to the
proposed change and increase in street
car fares.
Mr.. Goodwin commended the work per-
formed by citizens associations, tell
ing his hearers that such organizations
are permanently based upon the sugges-
ton Of protecting the home. He also
referred to the opposition to the refuse
destruction plant in the Trinidad sec
ton and urged the association to con-
tinue it's fight against it.
