Birmingham. Ala, Oct. 22.-FouI
nations will be represented by the
seven balloons entered in the Gordon
Bennett International Trophy race
starting tomorrow from this city. The
United States has three entrants
Italy two and France and Belgium
one each.
1t will be the ninth competition for
the trophy. and the first since 1913
when the war precluded international
aero contests. The trophy, hung up
in 1906 by James Gordon Bennett,
came into possession of America that
year and has been won three times
since by United States pilots. Ger
many captured the cup twice, while
France and Switzerland each were
victors once. The race is held from
the country winning the previous con-
test
Ralph II. Upson, who won the cup
in 1913 when he out -distanced all his
rivals by crossing the English Chan
mel and landing near the Yorkshire
coast in the race from Paris, will
compete for it again this month with
the balloon Goodyear IL. Two other
Americans, Lieutenant Richard L.
Thompson in an army bag and H. Z.
Honeywell in Kansas City II"-also
are entered.
These three led all the rest in the
elimination races last month. Lieut..
Raafe Emerson, u. S. N, will not be
in the race but will fly independently
for a record.
Flying the colors of European coun-
tries will be four other balloons. Cap
tain Hirschauer is to represent
France, with Lieutenant Ernest Deny
ter in the "Belgica'' from Belgium.
Italian entrants are Major Chevalier
Joseph Vale with "Audens" and Maj
Hugo Madori in the basket of "Tri-
umphale W.
The race is won by the balloon
which travels the farthest distance
from the starting point. The record
flight was made in 1912 from Stuff
gart, Germany. when a French pilot,
Maurice Bienaime, flew 1851 miles
The only other Gordon Bennett race
which resulted in a trip of more than
1000 miles was held in 1910 from St
Louis, the victor, Alan r. Hawley of
the Aero Club of America. going l.,
172 miles. This still stands as the
American record.
What direction the bags take after
rising off the ground depends on the,
wind, the balloons being Of the free"
type. In 1908 the victor landed in the
sea in a flight from Berlin, and was
rescued off the coast of Norway by a
passing ship.

fsy Associated press.)

Niagara Falls, Oct. 22.-Before
the eyes of a score of sightseers at
Prospect Point late this afternoon
a man climbed over the railing,
waded out into the river and was
carried over the American Falls.
Too astounded to act, the specta-
tors stood by while the man drifted
to the brink waving his hand and
shouting:
Here's where 1 leave you; good
bye"
In a black derby found near the
place where the man climbed the
railing was found a piece of paper
on which was written:
This hat belongs to Carl A. Ell

scription of the suicide corresponds
to that of Ellis. who could not be
located in Hamburg tonight.
The owner of a souvenir stand
near the falls told the police that
the man approached him and laugh

with 100000 bushels last

compares with 100000 bushels last
year.
Potatoes.-This crop was greatly
damaged by insects and blight.> The
total production was about 35O,OOO
bushels, which compares with 425,-
600 bushels last year. 5000 acres
were harvested this season, compared
with the same area in 1918.
Grain sorghums.-The total pro-
duction is placed at 10000 bushels
from $4,000 acres. In 1918, 1,624,OOO
bushels were harvested from the
same area.
Beans.-Owing to favorable mois-
ture conditions in the principal dry
land districts, the crop was much
better than last season. There were
10000 acres this year with total
production of 10000 bushels, COM
pared with $4,000 bushels from $4,000
acres in 1918.
Tame hay.-The area cut for hay
is placed at 10000 acres of which
100000 acres was alfalfa. The total
production of all tame hay was about
$4,000 tons. In addition to tame
hay, Arizona produced about 1900
tons Of wild hay.
Pasture.-During the past season,
range pastures were the best in
years, due to the we'll distributed
rains. The present outlook is for an
abundance of spring feed on the
range.
Cantaloupes.-About 1,e00 cars
were shipped from the State this
year, compared with LTD cars in
1918; 1874 cars in 1917; S65 cars in
1916; and 400 cars in 1915. Ship
ments were greatly curtailed this
season by heavy rains at harvest
time. For 1920, the, acreage will be
about 5000 as compared with $500
acres the past season, and 1000 acres
in 1918.
Lettuce.-Ahout 125 acres were
harvested from the crop planted in
the fall of 1918.s From the present
crop planted in October and Novem-
Der, 1919, it is estimated that about
500 acres will be harvested. About
so per cent of the acreage was
this season, due to un-
favorable weather conditions which
prevented termination Of seed; and
damage from catorpillars from near
by cotton fields.

on January l, 1920, the rates for
the present year would remain in eff
fleet since there has been no move in
the Sixty-Sixth Congress to take up
revenue legislation.

been made, including the repeal of

Phoenix, ARIZONA, December 81,
1919.
Arizona Crop Report for December,
1919.
That Arizona farmers have pro-

history of the State is shown by the
Government crop report just issued
by L. M. Harrison, Arizona Field
Agent for the Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates. The total value of all crops,
except livestock, is placed at $751;
75S,OOO, a gain of about 20 million
dollars over 1918. Cotton leads with
total value of $26.832,O00, while
alfalfa ranks second with a total
value of $13,52O,0O0. Cotton shows a
gain of 13 million dollars over last

AS result of a recent crop survey
few changes have been made in the
preliminary estimates. The assistance
of public-spirited citizens in furnish
ing information during the past year
is greatly appreciated. Final esti-
mates of the States crops for 1919
and comparative figures for 1918 are
as follows:
Cotton.-Arizona is now the lead
ing State in the production of long
staple cotton. There were $1,000
acres of American Egyptian and a.
goo acres of short staple harvested
this season from which it is estimated
the crop will be about $4,000 bales
Of American Egyptian and $4,000
bales of short staple. In 1918, r.
200 bales of American Egyptian pro-
1uced $4,000 bales, while $4,000 acres
If short staple produced 10000 bales.
Owing to the prospect for 1920.
Wheat.-The area in wheat was
$4,000 acres, a gain of 5000 acres
,ver 1918. The total production was
about 100000 bushels. compared
With 988,000 bushels last year. Pre-
iminary estimates place the acreage
or 1920 at $4,000 acres, the same as
asst year. While few counties show
| smaller acreage than last season,
his is offset by increased paintings 4
n other counties.
Corn.-The acreage increased from
$4,000 last season to $4,000 this year.;
he total production, from $4,000
bushels to 1.278,O0O bushels. There

The Wonders Of America
By T. T. MAxEY
BUNKER HILL MONUMENT.

THE elevation known as Bunker
i Hill" Is situated in Charlestown,
Boston harbor. On this spot, on June
II, 1775, was fought the famous Battle
of Bunker Hill, between the British and
American forces. Here the gratitude
and patriotism Of the American peo-
pie have caused to be erected a great
granite obelisk as a memorial.
Located in the center Of a four-acre
square and surrounded by an iron
fence, this monument is POI feet high
and 30 feet in diameter at the base.
Within the shaft is a circular stair
way leading to a chamber, IL feet In
diameter and IL feet high, at the top,
from which is visible a view that
thrills the heart Of every American.
who has been fortunate enough to
witness II.
It is an interesting fact that the
corner stone was laid by General La
Fayette, son of glorious France, dur
ing his famous visit to America In
1925. The monument was dedicated
in 1912, on which occasion Daniel
Webster spoke these famous words:
at looks, II speaks, 1t acts, to the
full comprehension Of every American
mind, and the awakening Of glowing
enthusiasm In every American heart.
It's silent but awful utterance; its deep
pathos, as 1t brings to our contempla-
ticp tho ITtb IF luna 17-p and tho
consequences which have resulted to
us, to our country, and to the world,
from the events Of that day, and which
we know must continue to rain influ-
ence to the destinies of mankind to
the end Of time"
