FORD swIMs NORMAL LAKE

Last Sunday, Ralph Simpson, for
mer Hays Normal student, and his
mother, of Wa-Keeney, approached
the Normal dam in Ford. Mrs Slmp-
son, not liking the looks of the pas
sage, decided to get out and walk
across the foot bridge. 1t proved that
her Judgment was good, for Simpson
missed the crossing and plunged his

waking hours are divided between in

AIRPLANES HELP
FIGHTING FOREST
FIRES IN WEST
Machines Travelled Thousands
of Miles Looking for
Forest Fires.

WASHINGTON. Dec. The or
EanIzed fire patrol in the United
states which aviators have maintain
ed under the direction Of ths forest
service OF the department % agri-
culture during the past season has
proved beyond question the effective
ness Of the airpiane as an aid in dis
covering and locating forest fires, ac-
cording to officials Of the Depart
ment.
This new flying undertaking was
performed BY the air service or the
war department, with its personnel
and equipment. and at the expense
OF that organization. For three
months uninterrupted service was
maintained and "A total or 745 flights
rOvering $1,000 miles were made.
Many fires were discovered. located
and reported in advance Of the reg

Six patrol routes covering national
forest areas OF high value I'm Cali

day six Curtis airplanes covered the
better part OF 100000 acres Of
rough, mountainous, heavily tim
bered country. The average non
stop run was $50 miles: the aver
age round trip, go miles.
Fire Situation Critical.
With the OPP ming OF the hunting
season the fire situation I'm northern
California became critical and an ex-
tension OF the air patrol was asked.
This was one Of the principal fact
ors necessitating a complete reor-
ganization OF the whole air patrol IN
California. De Haviland planes
were substituted for the slower
planes OF smaller gasoline capacity
and less climbing power Two new
bases were established. New daily
routes were laid out. one Of which
covered 500 miles, and the service

- national forests in California.
Beginning Sept /. eight airplanes
covered twice each day more than
100000 acres OF national forest,
and 100000 acres OF privately
owned timber lands. Eight addi-
ti0nal airplanes were used on alter
nate days to allow for necessary re-

On the whole, the reporting Of

The Commercial Club held its semi
monthly meeting last Wednesday
night at the city hall and large per-
centage of the membership was pres
ent.
The agricultural committee report
ed that the 1900 bushels of Rowden
and Mebane cotton seed ordered some
weeks ago had been received and was

the county. The Rowden seed was
'ordered directly from Rowden Bros.

the growers at actual cost plus the
freight and insurance, the seed being
insured against loss. They come in
three bushel sacks and are in charge
of Mr.. Westmoreland at the Farmers
Union Warehouse. This seed was
ordered for the purpose of assisting
in eliminating the half and half cot
ton which has played such havoc with
the local cotton market.
The grievance committee reported
on the investigation which has been
conducted relative to the local tele-
phone service and recommended RENE
dies for improving same which will
be acted upon by the club.
The covic committee made an ex-
cellent report which is published in
