HERE'S AIR 'FLIV.";
SELLS FOR ~, 1000

Flying" tells of an air flivver that
will soon be scuttling across the skies
in large punches. 1t says that an
army officer has invented a flyer OF
1S-foot wings spread, landing speed
of about 25 miles an hour, weight of
$50 pounds, 40 h. p. and furnishing
% miles of traffic for every gallon of
gas. The machine will make 60 to
20 miles an hour and folds its under
apparatus under it much as bird
draws up its feet when ii fees. The
price is $4,000 which puts in a price
radius of auto buyers. The landing
speed is so low that it can be land
ed almost on any public road. The
machine was originally built for ar
my use, making rise of 5000 feet
from the ground in half an hour. 1t
carried one air man and two machine
guns. The machine can carry two
men at the speed and gas consump-
ton named above. Special arrange
ments of struts and stays, with the
process Of folding the under works
adds about so percent to its speed
over the ordinarily constructed ma
chine.

A REASONABLE VIEW

A financial expert takes the follow
ing view of the railroad problem:
The railroad outlook is confused
by the conflict of opinion between
those who wish to return the roads to
owners at an early date and those
who wish the government to main
tain control for another five years.
My own preference would be to let
the present arrangement run to the
appointed twenty-one months after
peace has been signed; and If the sit
uation is not then satisfactory to con-
tinue government control for the bal
ance of the proposed five year period.
Owing to enormous increases in
wages aggregating 100000, to
increased cost of materials aHd to i'm
paired physical condition, the credit
of the railroads has been somewhat
weakened. and they are at present in
no condition to be handed back to
their owners. Public interest and
common justice require that they be
given a chance to repair damages in
Cured by war before the government
which seized them, throws them back
upon their own resources.

PUT MATTERS IN RIGHT LIGHT

An amusing story of the first meet
ing between Marshal Foch and the
German armistice delegates is told by
a high British official. When the
Germans stalked into the room Mar
shall Foch received them with calm
dignity, says London dispatch TO
the New York Sun.
"To what am l indebted for the
honor of this visit?" he asked polite
ly.
The Germans were somewhat
abashed. One of them replied:
I'VE come about the armistice
which you offer"
"Armistice?" queried Marshal
Foch. what armistice? have
made no offer"
The Germans were astounded.
But we must have an armistice,"
they walled.
Must" said Marshal Foch. "Then
you came for an armistice?" The
Germans admitted ruefully that they
had come for that purpose. Mar
shall Foch's eyes sparkled as he said:
IF you come TO beg an armistice
that is another matter"

DUAL DEMONSTRATION BEGUN

Dual poultry and orchard demon

orchard expert and a poultry husband

lectures on his work. Orchard and
vineyard practices are discussed and
demonstrated by the fruit expert,
while the poultryman takes up such
subjects as poultry house construc-

CLOVER FAHS-POOR SEEDING


Over half of the clover seed used
in Iowa last year. valued at over half
million dollars, failed to give a
stand. In some parts of the state,
nine fields were lost out of every ten
seeded. 1t has become increasingly
difficult to get stands of clover dur
ing the past few years and many
farmers are so discouraged that they
hesitate to try more seedlings. Over
thousand reports secured by the
farm crops section of the agricultural
experiment station at Ames. cover
ing a three year period show that
more than so percent of the seedlings
made in this state during the period
covered failed to produce a crop.
Different method of seeding the
clover have been under comparison
hthe farm crops experimental field
at Ames during the past four years.
Splendid stands of clover have been
secured when seeded with early ma
turing sparse foliaged varieties of
oats. such as Iowa los, Iowa 1903,
Kherson and Early Champion, while
seedlings made under indentically the
same conditions. but with larger. lat
er maturing varieties, failed entirely.
Varieties of barley which give the
largest yields in this state make het-
ter nurse crops than the late varieties
of oats, while spring wheat is the
poorest nurse crop of all. The char
acter of the nurse crop has more to
do with clover failures than any 9TH
er one thing.
Seeding not over two bushels of
oats per acre favors the clover con-
siderably. while the yield of grain is
not materially reduced. When condi-
lions have been very unfavorable.
perfect stands OF clover were secured
hy cutting the grain for hay when in
the milk stage. while seeding made
on adjoining plots and where the
nurse crop was allowed to mature for
grain failed entirely

WOULD HUSTLE EMPLOYEES

Passenger trains have been tagging
behind on their schedules for some
time and a special effort is being
made to have the trains taken thru
on time. Il is said that much of the
delay can be traced to stations where
some time has been lost. The agents
are asked to have their trucks right
on the job and the express messen-
gers likewise to be on the job on the
instant to permit the taking of trains
through on schedule.
