enlisted in the air service and
learned to pilot an airplane.
He took his preliminary training
with the French at Tours, and put
on the finishing touches at the great
American flying school a. lssoudun.
Then he became test pilot at the
assembling station at Romorantin.
Maynard broke at least two
records there. One morning he
tried out twenty-five planes, a
greater number than any test pilot
had previously flown in so short a
time. Another fine day he looped
the loop 3lS times in sixty-seven
minutes at an altitude of 1000 feet
without coming down foot.
In the aerial derby Maynard flew
at an average speed of little more
than two and a quarter miles a min
ute. But this flying game is too slow
for him.
So as soon as he can get out of
the army he will return to Wake
Forest and qualify for the ministry

~ URING the war fhiup Dc
Kennedy was made the conf
mcrcial attache Of the Amer
can Embassy in London. In this
capacity he acted with such con-
summate skill and tact that he has
been appointed director Of the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com.
merce in Washington.
The situation when Mr.. Kennedy
went to England was not pleasant
to contemplate. Unthinking persons
abroad are apt TO believe that the
words Yankee and money grabber
are synonymous. America did not
wish to profit at the expense Of
those nations pinned 70 the wheel
Of the war. and il was Mr.. Kennedy's
business to have this spirit reflected
in all commercial problems which
we're connected with the embassy.
1t was also certain there would
be considerable sparring for Ger
many's lost trade with the resump-
ton of peace, and it was President
Wilson's idea that America never
should be placed in the position Of
trying to gobble up more than its
share. Trade is far more essential
to England - which economically
exists upon than it is TO the
United States. The very foundations
of England prosperity is trade and

Of previous years production than
at this time last year. In fact, the
stocks Of many commodities are the
largest we ever had in storage at
this season. Yet prices are very
much higher. If we are to account
for the high price level on the basis
of overexports we should have to
find a depletion of our national

Mr.. Hoover pointed out that the
problems involved in the specula-
tive wave were very difficult to deal
with, because it was world wide ant

r<HESE are stormy, epoch-mak-

forefront of the activities of
the railway men is Warren s. Stone,
Grand chief Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers and chief
spokesman for the railroad en-

For a period Of twenty-five years
prior to his appointment Mr.. Stone
sat in the cab of a Rock Island Rail

teen years he was firing and after
six years Of this he piloted an en-
zine on the same run between Rock

to the disability and value of ma

or less as waste, the effect in tho

dition to the national wealth will

II would suggest, therefore, the
creation of Federal bureau Of sal

His Commission
at would seem to me that the
appointment by the government OF
one or more non-political commits
sions, consisting Of business men,
workingmen, farmers and econo-
mists, for the purpose Of making
studies and recommendations on a
non-partisan basis, would still be
of great advantage to the country
at time when grave economic,
social and financial problems are
pressing for solution and both the
executive departments and Congress
are greatly overworked. Great Brit
ain for many years. by the appoint
ment of royal commissions so
called, has employed with success
this method Of obtaining light with
out heat in respect to problems as
to which the government and the
people desired disinterested and
competent information and sugges-
tions, and in the great majority Of
cases such commissions, though
composed of very diversified ele-
ments. have arrived at a consensus
of opinion.
1T is simply inconceivable that
either the President or Congress or
the various executive departments
and boards can give the necessary
time and thoroughness Of study to
the variety of complex questions
which call for consideration and ac-
ton. The burden which both the
House and Senate place upon them
selves in investigating and gathering
facts and hearing witnesses is stag
gering in its claim upon the time
and energies of our legislators.
Much relief and good results could
be obtained by placing part of that
burden upon the shoulders of others.
The men selected would investigate,
ascertain facts, collect views and, if
desired, make recommendations. The
best ability and ripest experience of
the country could be drafted for
such purpose. The decision and re-
sponsibility as to legislation would,
of course, rest no less than now with
Congress and the President.

Otto II. Kahn, Of the firm of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., blames the rise
of prices on indiscriminate taxation,
and recommends the appointment of
non-poitical commission to obtain
light without heat in respect to
he problem of living costs.
On the eve Of his return to Amer
ica Herbert Hoover, chairman Of
he inter-Allied relief organization,
xpressed his conviction that the
Prevailing high prices of foodstuffs
we're caused by speculation in the
worlds primary food markets and
that delay in the lifting Of the block
ade had stimulated this speculative
fever. 4 drive on spectators IN
the United States is the remedy he
suggests.
This years steculations,' Mr..
Hoover said, "are due, in my opin-
ion. chiefly to the belief Of food
merchants and manufacturers that
when the blockade was removed there
would be an enormous demand for
foodstuffs and other commodities in
central and eastern Europe. This
speculation was not due to any inn
portant shortage at present OF act
ual supply.
Fears for american Farmer
This speculative fever, which
was not confined 10 foods, was
greatly stimulated by the long de-
hay in the removal of the blockade
until the peace treaty was signed at
Versailles. There is plenty of evil
dence that this was true Of food
stuffs in glutted ports in northern
Europe, where only neutrals have
the means to buy

how food speculation could be
checked in America, Mr.. Hoover re-

The secretary Of the Cove Truck and

tells us that he has shipped several cars
of cantaloupes this week and all have
brought good prices. The cars OF
peaches were sold at $l.25 per bushel.
and the best Of it is the farmers got
their money.
About six years ago the farmers near
Cove shipped 70 cars of peaches. Some

peaches to buy calico dress. ! won

Mr.. Shorter Of Vandervoort shipped
40 head Of nice fat steers to Kansas

is all right because she dips her cattle
regularly.
