From recent events and aerial
demonstrations during the last fouy
and half years of war, with which
unfortunately, I find the public to
be quite unfamiliar, it would ap.
pear that aircraft and aviation hav.
developed during the military stress
far more than they would have in
twenty years of time activity.
In other words, we are achieving
now in 1919 what we ordinarily
would have arrived at in about
193O-odd.
Big appropriation Urged
The English government, with
its adroit appreciation of the sit
uation, and irrespective of commit
ments contingent upon peace treaties
and the league of nations, has
quietly appropriated S163, 100000 tc
foster, directly, commercial aviation
and, indirectly, to make England
military mistress in the air, as she
is admittedly upon the sea.
Therefore it would seem to me
that the next big thing in aviation
should be the largest immediate
Congressional appropriation that
can be used intelligently and eff
fectively for research, experiment

proved aircraft for United States

1t is training for community lead
ership and farm and home co-opera-

1t socializes community life through
the boys and girls, and gives young
people a real motive in all their work.
1t also teaches farm boys and girls
that it is infinitely better to be a
proprietor of farm land, farm animals,
machinery, crops, kitchen equipment,

1t produces and %conserves food to
meet local, national, and world needs
on an economic basis.
1t demonstrates how to make farm

d I have just returned from a visit
to Cavalier county and my cid neigh.
borhood. Was there at your celebra-
ton of our soldier boys return from
overseas. l passed through the old
grave yard at Rosa Lake, where
there used to be a church, the first
church west of Olga and there's two
old soldiers graves still there I'M
marked and almost forgotten; one
that Of Charles La Fever and the
other Harrison Putnam ts old soldiers
that fought for u Union and it is a
shame that they are to be forgotten
so soon. Before l left Cavalier county
there was some talk of looking after
those bodies or graves. l secured a
marker from the government and
placed it on the grave of Putnam.
Mr.. Putnam was Mrs. Pickne]l's
father, one of the old settlers here.
The graves are side by side and
easy to be found and if something can
be done to commemorate their services
to their country at this time when
we are engaged in flag waving and
shouting. it will relieve me some
anxiety and pay a debt We owe to our
old soldiers and every loyal citizen
ought to be willing to do something to
perpetuate their memory.

The present system of patrols is not
only hazardous but very much depend
ent on weather conditions. Herschel
can be reached only by water, and
there are many difficulties as to pro-
visioning for trips.
.Airplanes not only would permit
the patrols to be made in a fraction
of the time but the service would not

countered on land. 1t is more than
probable that an air squad will be
added to the force.

The value of seed depends not only
on the price but on how price and
quality compare. A high-priced lot may
be cheaper than a lew-priced one. For
example, if one lot costs $45 a hundred
pounds and contains 80 per cent pure
seed, Of which 95 per cent will grow,
there will be "a pounds of pure, viable
seed in every 100. This "a pounds,
therefore, will cost 47.8 cents a pound.
Another lot selling for $35 q hundred
may contain 80 per cent pure seed, of
which 80 per cent will grow. This lot,
then, has u pounds Of pure, viable
seed in a hundred pounds and this Y

a pound. On the other hand, q lot
