HIT MADE WITH
 GEN. MORRISON
 BY LOCAL FARM
GENERAL SHOWN OVER EXPERT MENTAL FARM BY SUPERIN- PENDENT SNODGRASS-TRIP TO GOLDSTREAM PREVENTED BY RAINFALL.

The visit to the government expe. rimental farm made yesterday by the local commercial club with Major General Morrison as it's guest oi honor was complete success. Gen. eral Morrison was highly pleased with the things which he saw and asked many questions about the operation of the farm and the various plants which are being developed there.
 He was deeply interested in the work of the station and the questions he propounded showed his familiarity with agricultural work and the in dustry as a whole. The committee stated yesterday that MT. Snodgrass did much to make the trip success. Following the visit to the farm the entire party went to the grounds of the Agricultural College and School of Mines and took in the view of the valley from that point From there it returned to town.
 After arriving in town .ile entire party, joined by few other guests. to the Model restaurant where a delightful lunch was served. No attempt was made to have any formal talks, but in the informal talk around the table General Morrison made a few pointed remarks about the war. especially the reason for it's abrupt conclusion, which were greatly appreciated by those present.
 The club had planned to take the general and his party out on Cold stream to see the work being done there, but shortly after noon a steady rain started in and this part of the plan was abandoned

BALLOON MAKES
 GOOD SPEED IN FIRST 7 HOURS
AVERAGES BETWEEN FORTY AND FIFTY MILES PER HOUR FOR FIRST SEVEN AND ONEHAIF HOURS OF FLYING AFTER LEAVING ON RETURN TRIP.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-R-Dur- ing the first seven and one-half hours of flight. the British dirigible R-34 covered distance of 345 miles, maintaining an average of over 45 miles per hour. The big balloon left Roosevelt field at Mjneola, Long Is- land, just at midnight last night and the first wireless report was received at 7:30 this morning.
 The report states no mishaps of any kind have occurred since start ing on the return trip. The speed made by the R-34 since leaving Mine ola is greater than that maintained on the trip across from England, it averaging about 35 miles per hour then. It is probable the dirigible will slow down as it gets farther on its journey.
 THOUSAND MILES OUT
 WASHINGTON, July 10.-P)- (Late Report t.)-The last wireless message received from the R-34 stated the big dirigible was just one thousand miles out from Mineola and was making exceptionally fast time. The report says the balloon has made as high as eighty miles per hour but this speed was sustained but short time. For the first fifteen hours out from Mineola, says the report, the dirigible maintained an average Of sixty miles per hour. A strong west ward wind is reported as being of great assistance in maintaining this speed.

NORMAL PEOPLE
 IN RUSSIA CAN NOT BE FOUND

LONDON, May 30-(Associated Press Correspondence) - Physically normal persons no longer are to be found in Petrograd nor in all Rus sia. says T. Hessen. a well known Moscow journalist and member of the second Duma who has arrived in Co., penhagen after a long stay in Petro- grad. The mental state produced by starvation, disease and nervous strain he says, forces Russians to lose their mental balance.
 Their mental condition so changes their appearance that often one can not recognize ones nearest friend. remember the impression I had when 1 met the well known lawyer, Rajef- ski. At first l did not recognize him Soon afterward l learned that he had hanged himself.
 Similar things happen daily l think it is to be wondered that such suicides do not become general. In all the streets one meets still well dressed people. men and women, beg ging. There they stand some of them with their heads down, dumb as if turned to stone; others tonelessly repeating I am dying. Give me some thing to eat.'
 "Even if one has sufficient money to pay the enormous prices one may make acquaintance with starvation" wrote MT. Hessen to the Copenhagen Politiken. "One has to get hold of a seller and persuade him to sell by treating him to some coffee. giv- ing him the place of honor and so on. Money does not tempt him. He can always get money. He needs it only in order to continue his trade, or to buy luxuries such as sable fur coats, gold ornaments or gems. It is not the seller who looks for a buyer but just the contrary.
 "NOt rarely mothers are seen (who have left at home their underfed sick children) pleading with milk woman to yield up half a bottle of milk at quite shameless sum and it may happen that the milkwoman sud denly becomes capricious and does not even answer the unhappy appli- cant.
 "Add to this the terrible typhus and smallpox epidemics, against which there is not the slightest pos sibility of protection. Remarkably enough the cholera epidemic that flourished last summer ceased sud denly as if by whim of nature. But now the typhus and smallpox epidemics are developing more and more seriously. The government has no means to check them. The gov ernment cannot even procure wood enough for collins nor transport to the cemeteries. The survivors must wait days before they can bury the dead.
 "It is obvious that people under such conditions with such superhu- man efforts of energy demanded of them cannot continue to keep their mental balance"
