|NAVY'S GREATEST DIRICIBLE IS
ALMOST READY FOR SERVICE AT
PENSACOLA NAVAL AIR STATION
Is Sister Ship to C-5 Which
Flew From Montauk to St.
Johns, n. S., Last May.
HAS TWO GREAT MOTORS
Cruising Radius So Great That
Return Trips to New Orleans
and Other Cities Planned

The u. S. y. dirigibIe CT. the larg-
est type lighter than-air craft used by
the navy will be put in commission at
the naval air station here in about 10
days, according to information from
the navy yard yesterday. Commits
sioning the CT is in line with The
Journals exclusive story of three
months ago to the effect that Pensa-
cola is to be made the chief lighter
than-air training station of the United
States navy
The CT is a sister ship of the C-5
which flew from Montauk Point. New
York, TO ST. Johns Newfoundland in
25 hours and 40 minutes on May 14.-15,
1919. The C-5 covered 5000 miles on
that flight and was preparing TO make
a flight across the Atlantic on the fol-
lowing day. A sudden windstorm how
ever. blew the ship from its moorings
and carried it out to sea. 1t was never
found, although destroyers sought for
it for more than a week.
The CT will have twin Union
motors of $40 horsepower each and will
have a normal cruising radius of 500
miles. This may be Increased by the
installation of additional gas tanks.
A method is also provided for using
gas from the main bag in case the
regular gasoline supply fails.
The CT is approximately 230 feet
long and has a capacity of 1872 600
cubic feet of gas. 1t will carry crew
of eight on ordinary trips and has a
maximum capacity of Il.
Plans are being made to fly the CT
to New Orleans and other more dis
tant cities. 1t is said flight to the
Pacific coast has been discussed. Be-
cause of its great size, the CT will
not be used for short local flights
where frequent landings are made, but
will be used almost wholly for the
longer trips. Pilots and observers will
be given an opportunity of studying
aerial map-making photography, etc.

STALL

Claim There Is No Money Be-
cause of High Wages They

Washington. April "A three weeks

which our national leaders and the
public generally would do well to
study.
Washington as the prime reason for
high prices. And the farmers of the
middle west to produce as much food
stuff this year as they did last year
or the year before.
Farm labor is scarce and wages
high. There's no money in farming
when we have to pay $50 to $50 per
month for regular help and s4 to s5 per
day for harvest hands, plus keep"
That is the explanation farmer after
farmer will give you through Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois and other
agricultural states. A. III. Snyder, edi-
tor of Successful Farming" says it is
the viewpoint of a very large percen-
tage of the 100000 farmers who sub

he left Dover, Del, his home, and
