TWO MORE Big
DE- HAVILAND4'
ARESET UP HERE

SOUTHER FIELD, Feb. 2S.-Lieut
Herbert G. Blakeslee, engineer officer
at Souther Field, is setting up for
quick use two more DeHaviland-4 air
planes, which makes 14S airplanes in
commission. The extra motors have
all been completely overhauled and
tested, ready for immediate use.
Lieut.. Blakeslee says the efficiency.
from a technical standpoint, of the big
Handley-Page plane, which recently
visited Souther Field is interesting
The installation of two low-compress-
ion Liberty engines, similar to those
the navy has so successfully used, in
the Handley-Page, makes it's power
very efficient. The troubles of this
giant air machine from any mechanical
or technical deficiency has been zero.
The motors under skilled mechanical
supervision never miss firing These
motors are equipped with starters, as
they are installed too high off the
ground to be eranked by the usual
method of starting an airplane.
To place this large machine in han
gars, from the existing weather con-
ditions, the huge wing sections are
hinged and decrease the width to 80
feet, instead of 100 feet, the spread
when in flight. These forgings which
constitute the hinges are special heat
treated, and under very rigid tests and
inspection hold this large amount of
weight both in the folded condition
and when under the stress of staying
in the air
The body of the plane, called the
fuselage in nomenclatures for aero
nautics, embodies the machine-gun-
ner's cockpit at the extremes of the
front end, two pilots to his rear and
then a large space for the mechanics
to sit and work on the gas controls
and as assistants to the pilots.
The large gasoline tank which holds
over $50 gallons is under the top
wings in this part of the fuselage, so
as it becomes empty it does not
change the calance of the airplane,
since this section of the airplane is
balanced with this point as the center
of gravity.
In a large part, just back of the
gasoline tanks, is still space for near
ly ton and a half of bombs. or pas
sengers can be carried. This part of
the ship is 62 feet 10 inches long,
showing the vast dimensions of a
heavier-than-air craft.

Usury Charged in
Tabernacle Debt

ATLANTA. Feb. 28.-An order has
been issued by Judge Reid of the At
lanta city court, temporarily suspend
ing the sale at public outcry of the
Baptist Tabernacle of this city, which
was scheduled to go on the block on
March to satisfy a debt of $105. 900
TO the estate of the late James NJ.
Smith, millionaire planter of Ogle-
thorpe county. Fifteen deacons of
the church are indorsers of the loan
and if the church fails to bring an
amount sufficient to pay the loan they
must put up the balance. Hence they
fled their application to have the
judgment against them set aside They
claim that the debt is infected with
usury and that one of the indorsers
was recently relieved, which has the
effect of relieving all the others
Judge Reed fixed March as the date
for the administrators of the estate
to show cause why the judgment
should not be permanently set aside
in so far as the indorsers are con-
cerned.

SOUTHER FIELD
WILLPLAY BALL
COMING SEASON

SOUTHER FIELD. Feb. 2S.-Maj.
John w. Butts, executive officer at
Souther Field, who while cadet az
West Point, played on the college team,
has about completed the organization
of a baseball team at Souther Field,
the members of which are being train
ed daily by Major Butts, as a part of
their athletic exercises
The team promises to be one of
the best in the South, and when organ
ization is completed, will be open to
challenge S
A section of the aviation field has
been rolled and marked off for this
form of exercises. Lieut.-Col. Dick
nan, commanding, will open this sec
ton of the field to the public who will
be welcomed to witness the contests,
giving baseball fans of Americus and
the surrounding country an Oppor-
tUnity to enjoy the national game.
1t is said there are several good ball
players at Souther Field and if this
team can find it's equal in or out OF
the state, some interesting contests
are assured. This diversion from the
routine will not only be appreciated
by the players and men at the field, but
by the people of Americus, as the days
when the games are on a large num-
Der of people will be drawn to the
city. If interest warrants it, it is be
Iieved arrangements can be made with
the Central of Georgia railroad to run
"a shuttle train from Amerius to
Aries on the days of the game, as an
expense about equal to street car
fare. During the games, some of the
expert flyers will undoubtedly take to
the air, making the events at the
field doubly interesting to the Wis
itors.
Names of men composing SOuther
Field team will be announced in The
Times Recorder within week or ten
days

NORTH DAKOTA MINERS
EXPECTED TO STRIKE
The Call May Come at Any Minute
Miners and Operators Do Not Get
TOgether-Want Increase Of so
Per Cent to Go Into Strike
Fund.

According to a report from Bis
marck, where the North Dakota min
ers are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of going out on a strike, it is said
that they are asking for an increase of
go per cent in the wages, which would
amount to about $24 a week increase
for each coal miner in the state, or
$4S,000 additional expense in mining
the North Dakota product
1t is understood that this additional
sum would not go to the miners them
selves, but the United Mine Workers
to assist them in their strike. Henry
brennan, Of Billings, Mont, repre-
senting the Mine Workers, is meeting
with the North Dakota miners.
Indications are the state operators
will decline to meet the demands, in
which event, it is said, Governor Fra
zier declares he will seize the mines
of the state and operate them under
state direction.
Ignite coal prices would be increas-
ed about $1.50 or $500 a ton if the
miners get their increase.
The Bismarck meeting was adjourn
ed without the miners and operators
getting together. The miners threat
en- to strike, tho up to the time Of go
ing to press, the strike order had not
been issued. The call for strike may
be expected at any moment.

their own officers, hold their meetings
at such times and places as they may

educational treats, so many that not
more than passing mention can De
made of them. For instance, there
was the address Wednesday, night by
0. T, Corson of Columbus, o., on "The
Three C's in Education" which proved
to be very interesting sermon as
well as an instructive lecture full or
valuable facts. He may be trifle old
fashioned. He thinks that q little
study at home nights does not do as
much damage to the youngsters healti,
as late hours at dances.

given by Pres. Thos. Kane Of the state
OMvCAS AVy 0uu KcSs Cs Lev 11OW0EO
