RELATES HARDSHIPS
OF FLIGHT OVER SEA.
Captain Alcock Says, eve Had d
Terrible Journey"-Traveled in
Darkness for Hours.

London, June 15.-Describing the
experiences of himself and Lieuten-
ant Brown, Captain Alcock, in a
message from Galway to the Daily
Mail, says:
eve had a terrible journey. The
wonder is we are here at all. We
scarcely saw the sun or moon or
stars. For hours we saw none of
them. The fog was very dense and
at times we had to descend within
800 feet of the sea.
s'For four hours our machine was
covered with sheet Of ice, carried
by frozen sleet. At another time the
fog was so dense that our speed indi-
Gator did not work and for few
minutes it was very alarming.
"We looped the loop, l do believe,
and did very steep spiral. We did
some very comic stunts, for l had no
sense of horizon.
"The winds were favorable all the
way, northwest and at times south
west. We said in Newfoundland that
we would do the trip in 16 hours, but
we never thought we should. An
hour and half before we saw land
we had no certain idea where we
were, but believed we were at Gal
way or thereabouts.
"Our delight in seeing Eastal IS
land and Tarbat Island five miles
west of Clifden was great. The peo-
ple did not know who we were and
thought we were scouts looking for
Alcock. We encountered no unfore-
seen conditions. We did not suffer
from cold or exhaustion except when
looking over the side; then the sleet
chewed bits out of our faces. We
drank coffee and ale and ate sand
wiches and chocolate Our flight has
shown that the Atlantic flight is
practicable, but think it should be
done not with an airplace or sea-
plane but with flying boats.
eve had plenty of reserve fuel
left, using only two-thirds of our
supply.
-'The only thing that upset me was
to see> the machine at the end get
damaged. From above the fog look
ed like lovely field, but the ma
chine sank into it and fell over on to
her side"

LARGEST AIRSHIP
LIFTS SIXTY TONS

London, June 13.-When the R-34
completes the first leg of her trans
Atlantic flight, arriving at Atlantic
CITY. Americans will have an oppor-
tunity to see the worlds largest and
most practicable airship-a monster
capable of lifting 60 tons through
the air at normal speed of so miles
an hour and over distance of 1000
miles.
It is difficult to realize that this
great power is compacted within a
bulk whose whole weight is less than
half of that of modern English To-
comotive.
A hundred feet longer than West
minister Abbey-639-and 90 feet In
height, this big rigid airship and her
sister, the R-3s, will bring new at
mosphere into the aeronautica'l
world in which one ceases to think
Of weight and lift in terms of pounds
speaking in terms of tons instead.
The airship has four cars, one
slung in front, directly below the
center line, containing all controls
for the elevators, rudders, the cleo
trio telegraph, communication with
the engine room, and all instruments.
Behind the captains compartment
in the forward car is wireless outfit
canable of service over several hun
dred miles. The rear part of the for
ward car contains a $50 horsepower

STATE CORPORATIONS
FOR MARKETING COTTON

Columbia, June 16.-A meeting OF
the board of directors of the Ameri-
can Cotton association will be held
in New Orleans on July 1st, End and
3rd, 1919. Special committees have
been appointed for handling matters
of vital Importance to the entire cot
ton belt.
Among the important matters to
be handled is the matter of State
Corporations for the marketing OF
the cotton crop and a standard ware
house system for the entire cotton
belt. There are special committees
actively at work on Banking and
Legislation, Finance and Organiza-
ton, Cotton Tare, Marketing and
taking of Cotton Reports, all of
which will make reports at the meet
ing of the board in New Orleans.
At the New Orleans meeting
whirlwind campaign for membership
in the Association will be launched,
so that every single, solitary farmer,
merchant, banker, business and pro-
fessional man, who has the best in
terests of the cotton grower at heart,
throughout the length and breadth
of the cotton belt will be solicited
for membership. Many of the states
have already put on this campaign,
as the rivalry between the states to
complete their organization first will
be very intense.

BOIL WEEVIL ACTIVE
Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton Coun
ties Infested.

Clemson College, June 16.-"The
boil weevil is already showing con-
siderable activity this season in
Western Beaufort county and also in
parts of Jasper and Hampton coun-
ties," says Prof. A. F. Conradi of
the South Carolina crop pest commits
sion. Owing to the mild winter Mr..
Weevil wintered well and his family
is now quite numerous, and active
earlier than usual.
sThis is the third season of the
weevil in Beaufort and the second in
Jasper and Hampton, but he re-
ceived a backset in the winter OF
1917-18 and lost all Of Beaufort ex-
cept Daufuskie Island. Last season
the pest regained all of this lost ter
tritory and increased in such num-
bers that the outlook in some sec
tions appears threatening.
''The amount of injury that will
be done this year depends of course
altogether on the weather conditions
in June and July. If the weather.
during that period of the year is dry
the damage will be very greatly re-
duced; but should that period of the
year be moist, then we may expect
very sharp damage on number OF
the plantations in that territory.
s'No radical action is recommend
ed at this time and we do not advise
that cotton be plowed under and the
land planted in corn, because the
plantations from which the most Sc
rious complaints are received have,
according to the statements of the
farmers, already reduced the acre
age so per cent.
zone can not now forecast with
any accuracy what may be expected
but in a month from now the prob
able damage may be much more
closely estimated. It is advised that
the farmers proceed with the meth
DDS of culture that have been recon-
mended and not expect any import
ant relief from poisoning this season
The soundest course to pursue is te
keep up the cultural work and slim
julate cotton as much as possible fol
the production of an early crop.
,, eff we have another. favorable
winter the most serious damage may
be expected next year in the terri
tory above referred to, and it is
hoped that accurate data may have
been obtained by that time in regard
to the practicability and effective
ness of poisoning. Poison should not
be looked upon at the present time
as a perfected remedy because it is
vet in the experimental stage and
the work done along this line should
| be done with great exactness and un-
der the supervision Of expert State
and federal agencies"

OBJECT OF CHANGE

The Wisconsin Valley Electric Co. has grown in
short time from small company operating in
one city to a large company operating in many.
While the rates have been substantially the same
over the territory served, they have not hereto
fore been exactly uniform in conformity with
latest engineering practice. The new rates apply
alike to Wausau, Stevens Point and Merrill.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1919-09-30
RESULT OF CHANGE

Instead of paying straight ten cents per kilO-
watt hour for Lighting as most of our customers
do, they will have chance of obtaining the Sec
Ondary rate of eight cents and the tertiary rate of
three cents. Those using electric appliances will
particularly benefit by the change and Also there
will be necessity of exercising particular econ
omy in the winter months as the longer lighting
hours will be offset by the lower lighting rates.

EXPLANATION

The above rates may seem complicated to some
but they not. OF course, we not all eectri-
clans, and if there is any point that is not thor
oughly understood we want you to phone number
1888 and ask about it. We want you to understand
the rates and the object of revising them, and it
win be pleasure to call on anyone DESTROYS of
further information.

SYSTEM
SHOWED ITS WORTH
DURING THE WAR

In his annual address to the Ameri.
can Bankers association, Robert +.
Maddox, president of the association,
gave some salient facts regarding the
great development in banking and
financial operations that took place
during the period Of the war. I'm
meeting the uncertain war conditions
and the sudden expansion of business
during the past few years." he said,
"the federal reserve BANKS have
proved a splendid and even surpris-
ing success, for they have demon
strated that our present banking sys-
tenn is the superior of any in the
reserve banks on September S showed
that out of 2,200 millions of bills re-
ceivable, 1925 million were secured
by government war obligations, thus
demonstrating their great value to
the government in assisting the mem
Der banks to carry loans secured by
war obligations, without retarding
their commercial transactions. 1t is
expected that in a reasonable time
these loans now carried by the banks
of the country for their customers,
who subscribed for war obligations,
will be paid; but, considering the fact
that out of government obligations
now outstanding of approximately 25
billion dollars, the comparatively
small amount of notes discounted by
the federal reserve banks, secured by
these obligations, is very gratifying"

MESA LAW FIRM
IS ORGANIZED

M. J. Dougherty announces the aSSO-
citation of his brother, Mr.. E. F. Dough
erty, in his law practice under the
firm name of Dougherty & Dougherty.
Judge Dougherty, the senior member
of the firm, has been in active practice
in Mesa since 1909, until the begin
ming of the world war, when he en-
listed and served in the field artillery
the rank of captain. He enjoys d
statewide acquaintanceship and his
numerous friends predict for the firm
a continued large and increasing Glen
tile. Mr. e. F. Dougherty, who is at
present in the east, will arrive shortly.
With the firm will be Mr.. William
A. Harkins and Mr.. Victor H. Harding.
Mr.. Harkins is member of the Den
yer (Colo) bar, where he was in prac-
tice for number of years. He was
formerly assistant United States at
torney. for the district of Colorado,
and has been a member of the Arizona
bar for the past two years, and is well
and favorably known.
Mr.. Harding is member of the
New York bar, having been actively
engaged in the practice in the state
until the declaration of the world war,
when he enlisted and had considerable
overseas experience, being discharged
with the rank of captain of infantry.
Since his discharge from the service
he has resided in Phoenix, where he
has made a wide circle of friends.

SAYS COPPER SURPLUS
AGAIN ON INCREASE

Copper prices must drop until con-
sumption again exceeds production"
says an unusually well-informed man
on the copper trade. Heavy forward
buying in June and July caused sur
plus to decrease compared to January
l. Now surplus is shooting up again.
Yet certain important companies are
increasing production and a large
amount of speculatively held copper
has become very nervous. No buying
worthy the name has come from Eu-
rope for weeks. Spanish and Austria
liam production and scrap are caring
for her current requirements. The
world needs copper, yet little is being
bought. Prices must go still lower,
in my opinion, in order to stimulate
consumption"

BOY SCOUTS ON
THE JOB; OMAHA
BOY PROVES IT

That the efforts of the Boy Scouts
of America have not been in vain is
once more evidenced by a news item
in the Ell Paso Herald in connection
with the recent trouble in Omaha. A
Boy Scout stationed himself at street
intersection in the congested district
and directed the traffic for twelve
hours, never leaving his post until re-
lieved by traffic officer.
While grown men were excited and
curious to see the sights, this little
fellow only saw the maddened throngs
surging to and fro, contesting among
themselves for the right of way. Real
izing the danger of undirected traffic,
he assumed the responsibilities of
traffic officer and made good. That
Scout does not feel that he has done
anything unusual, because he only did
his duty.
No one of the many who keep in
close touch with Boy Scout work were
surprised by the foregoing. 1t is only
one of the many instances where
Scouts, through their training and de-
votion to duty, have proven their met
tie in an emergency. We can all af-
ford to support an organization that
places boys on higher plane than the
generation Immediately ahead of them.
If you are not boosting the Boy Scouts,
why not?
