Forgot What He Needed

From the Republican, Mt. Gilead,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when "a
young gentleman came to this Office
and asked for a copy Of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized
it carefully when "a copy was handed
him and then said: "Now | know"
What is it you are looking for" we
inquired. My wife sent me after a
bottle Of Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy and | forgot the name went
20 several stores and the clerks
named over everything in the line on
the shelf except 'Chamberlains III
try again, and I'll never go home
without Chamberlan's Cough Rem
edy" The Republican would suggest
10 the proprietors Of stores, that
they post their clerks, and never let
them substitute. Customers lose
faith in stores where substituting is
permitted, 20 say nothing of the in
justice TO makers OF good goods and
the disappointment OF customers.

Giant airplanes that will rush United
Francisco in SO hours are planned by
Otto Praeger, head of the U. s. air
mail system, who said today:
They'll go into operation within
q year. That will clip three days and
a half from the present schedule for
mails between Atlantic and Pacific
coast cities. 1t Will make the United
States just one day and a half wide
where it now is nearly five.
1T will be the first step in the air
plane-ization of the entire United
States postal system. Within 10 years
the railroads will carry malls only on
short runs of, say, 100 miles. Airplane
mail routes will touch every big city
in the country.
THREE TRANSCONTINENTAL
ROUTES PLANNED
We'll operate three big transcon-
tinental routes, over which big mail
planes will swing in squadrons carry
ing hundreds of tons of letters and
packages.
Feeder routes will connect cities on
the Great Lakes with those on the
Gulf of Mexico, and the Mississippi,
Ohio, and Missouri river valleys Will
be aerial highways.
Billions of dollars will be saved
every year for American business

The United States now has the only

MUNICIPAL AIRDROMES
Thirty-two cities have already

will be properly lighted, policed, and
which will contain hangers, accessor-

The air mail service between New
York and Chicago Is only the fore
runner of a regular passenger service
between the two cities. The fact
that army hiers, mail fiers and pes
senger-carrying fliers can all use the
same aerial station will reduce costs

done in carrying passengers, mail and

NEW YORK, July 30.-Every day
brings new strides in commercial avia-

Development of air science has been
startling since the armistice was sign
ed.
After thoroughly investigating the
situation. 1 predict that the many
short air routes now in operation or
about to be started will quickly be
linked up until 1t becomes as easy to
get from one part of the United States
to another by airplane as it is now to
travel by trolley transfers, from one
part of a city to another.
Many aerial transportation compan-
les have been organized the last few
months and are now operating sue
cessfully. AS in the case of the rail-
roads more than three-quarters of a
