AMERICA FLIES TO EUROPE!

THESE be bigsome days brothers. We
l. meaning America-have flown to Europe
Put the stalwart and upright and proud "eX-
claimer there Mr.. Printer! Put two eXclalmerS
there /! In fact, three exclamation points are
hardly sufficient to punctuate properly ana
emphasize adequately the epochal achieve
ment of Amerca-us--in the NC-4 last Satur-
day!!!
All. but the NC-4 flew only to the Azores
last Saturday, you may say. Ihat Is lrue, Dut
the Azores belong to Europe and are geograph'
ically part Of Europe. For confirmation let
US call in our reliable old friend, Mr.. Britain
MICA. who says that the Azores, or Western
Islands, "are generally considered as pertain
ing to Europe, though separated by distance
OF 800 miles from the coast of Portugal.' And
Mr.. Britannica deposes further and says that
the Azores were discovered in 1872 which was
fifty wears before Columbus discovered Amer
lea. Consequently the flight OF the NC-4 last
Saturday was from the new world to the old
word-from America to Europe.
Before this days paper reaches the reader 1t
may be that the NC4 will have flown across
the 800 miles of distance separating the Azores
from the coast Of Portugal. In that event of
course, the feat will be perfected but the fact
of the flight from America to Europe is mat
ter of record already
And it was done by us-by America
To the American navy, to the bold above
sea navigators Of the NC4 goes the greater
glory, but the American people share therein.
There is glory enough in this achievement for
us all
Wherefore, let us rejoice and be exceeding
glad that the American air navgators did it
first. The thing quickens our sporting blood.
Even away out here on the Oklahoma plains,
bar ha Of in SiU
City Lake and we know the taste and tang of
the salt sea only by hearsay or by pleasant
memory we are entitled to feel Just about as
jubilant over this feat as any of the fellows
along the eastern shore who have breathed
saline atmosphere from infancy and for sew
eral years past have been trying to put some Of
the salt on the tails of Hun submarines.

WORK FOR CONGRESS

WHEN the extraordinary session of the Six
w ty-sxth congress met in Washington at
noon today it had its work already cut out.
Every member of that congress knows what he
is expected to do as an individual member and
what the congress is expected to do as body.
Briefly, the American people expect this
extraordinary session to pass in quick time hall
dozen highly important items of appropria-
ton which failed of passage because of the
filibusterng in the closing days of the last con
gress and not only the American people but
the people of all other civilized countries look
to this session of congress to ratfy the treaty OF
Versailles, including the League of Nations, to
the end that peace may prevail again through
out the world, and not the earned peace" or
the past, but peace of permanence, and above
all a peace of Justice.
President Wilson has called this session
because of the urgency of getting back to set
tied conditions throughout the world as soon
as may be possible; to conditions wherein
human affairs may be run normally, wherein
life, liberty and the pursuit Of happiness
which means the doing of duty-may be pro-
tCcted and foStered as the natural status OF the
world Until the allied nations and the United
States, as their associate, approve the treaty
and the league, this desirable status cannot be
brought about The business of the United
States senate and of every individual member
of that body, is to do Americas part toward re
storing the world to stability and through the
League Of Nations guaranteeing the permanent
cy of that stability.
The present session. therefore, is big with
possibility. If the two houses can get together
in passing the necessary legislation to keep the
nations industries going and to restore them
to equilibrium and if the senate can get to-
gether with itself on the treaty and the league
in the proper spirit of progress this session will
go into history as a proud heirloom of right
eousness to American posterity. Our belief
is that congress is going to do its duty.

it has ventured into the brokerage OF

bulls that were sent to the Usage Game
Preserve. Since the government has
leased q portion of the preserve for OIL

the bison to Medicine Park. Cities

1921 for September Milk

League milk for September has
been sold for 1921, or about $40
cents per quart. This price is for 3
per cent milk at the 200-210 mile
zone with the usual differentials for
freight and butterfat. The Septem-
Der price is cents a hundred more
than was paid producers for August
milk. 1t was determined by the price
agreement now in force between
producers and dealers which takes
both market conditions and cost of
production into consideration.
The average market price of butter
for the thirty days ending with
August Goth was $.5452. The aver
age market price of cheese for the
same period was $.3131. To the
average of these prices together with
the average price of skim milk and
whey is added thirty-six cents to al
low for costs of production. The
result is the September price.
The fiat price in the Rochester Dis
trict for September is $3.49.

Rev. Theodore w. Haven and

accide~t~las Tuesday evening, when,
with a party of friends returning

thus met with the accident. Mrs.

who was injured, suffered badly

struck it.
Mrs. Haven is we'll known to many
