initiative for their Introduction. In
this they were highly successful first

MAIL A|RPLANES MAY
ADOPT MOVIE STUNTS
IN NON -ST0P FLIGHTS
(Bv Associated PreSs)

CHICAGO, Oct 10 The reckless
aerial. acrobatics with which Omer
Locklear startled the world until they
resulted in his death recently in Call
fornia have not been in vain, according
to air mail service officials here, for
they report Locklear's stunts" have
opened the way for important develop
ments in commercial aviation.
Locklears stunt of changing from
one plane to another several thousand
feet above the earth will be copied in
the air mail service and by commercial
aviation companies in changing sacks
of mail, packages or pilots from one
ship to another, thus enabling aerial
liners to make long journeys without
landing, officials say. Some believe
that within a short time airplanes may
even take gasoline and supplies in the
air.
When one of the mammouth air
planes which aviatOrs believe soon
will be common flies over the control
station, a smaller plane will come up
to meet it, the officials explain, and,
by means of a rope, mail sacks or
other packages will be lowered from
the large to the small plane. BY
means of a long hook the large ship
will take on baggage from the smaller
ship and speed on to its destination.
Eventually it is expected that this
plan will be perfected so that fuel sup
plies can be transferred from one
plane to another, making nonstop
cCast-to-coast trip possible.
Pilots will change planes in mid-air
by means of rope ladder lowered
from one machine to the other, just as
Locklear did. it is explained.
The government has been conduct
ing tests along this line for some time,
officials say, and one commercial avn
alton company is reported to be plan
ming to put the scheme into effect
within a few months in transferring
mail.

holders are required TO attend.
Under the new arrangement boys

16 years living outside of Richmond.

come members of part time school ana

state child labor laws. The township
part time school is organized under
the same authority as the local school.

employment service, was here from

FARMERS Will SEEK
CANDIDATES views

The Indiana Federation Of Farmers
associations will question the congress.
sional candidate on both the Demo
cratic and Republican tickets as to
their stand on certain agricultural
measures pending before the congress,
according to Lewis Taylor, secretary
of the federation.
Mr.. Taylor was busy Friday prepar.
ing letters to be sent to the Demo
cratic candidates asking their stand
on the CapperEolstead bill, the
French truth-in-fa brio bill and the
Nolan bill. He will send similar let
tiers to the Republican candidates.
Purpose Of Bills.
The Capper-Volstead bill, mentioned
in these letters, is a measure propOS-
ing to legalize the cooperative mar
keting of farm products. The French
truth-in-fabric bill would require all
wooden cloth to be stamped or marked
as to the percentage of wool and the
percentage Of shoddy used in each
piece of wooden cloth. Mr.. Taylor's
letter says that certain "allwool' fab,
RIGS are composed of from 80 to 70 per
cent shoddy, although this is not ap-
parent until the cloth has been used
for a time The letter explains that
the use Of shoddy has not brought a
corresponding reduction in prices, and
that there is enough wool in the coun-
try to make the use of shoddy in this
manner unnecessary
The third question concerns the No
Ian tax bill which proposes a tax of
l per cent on all land values in ex-
cess of $4,000.
Already on Record.
With the exception of Senator Har-
ry S. New and O. H. Luhring, of Ev-
ansville, said Mr.. Taylor, all the Re-
publican members of the Indiana del
egation in congress have gone on rec
ord as opposed to the Nolan bill in
a manner satisfactory to the farmers
Senator New and Congressman Luh-
ring, he said, had not taken stand
in favor of the bill, yet their state
ments had not been entirely satisfac-
tory. Mr. Taylor correspondent with
the Indiana congressman regarding
the Nolan bill when it was before the
congress last spring.

Select Seed Corn In

Too many people consider seed
corn good simply because it will grow

ETY. and from the high yielding stalks
of the variety; CD we'll matured and

planting time, in a manner that will

freedom may indicate resistance to in

the soils and crops extension staff Of

Select Healthy Stalks.
The above mentioned fundamental
facts can only be carried through by
careful field selection of the seed
corn in the fall along with drying out
and storage of the seed ears. The corn
should be selected in the field from
healty, upright stalks, showing good
maturity. The stalk should have a
good strong root system with very
strong brace roots. The ear should be
medium in height on the stalk, well
proportioned and representative of
the variety. The shank of the ear

we're weather conditions. The corn
should be we'll matured before selec-
ton.
Selection Worthwhile.
A great many farmers claim that
during the fall of the year they do not
have the time and labor to select seed
corn. However, it has proven to be
economical to give ones entire atten-
ton and select several times the
amount of seed which he expects to
plant, and have second selection
from this seed in the spring before
planting.
After the ears are selected from the
field, they should Immediately be
placed on some practical drying rack
or where each ear can have free cir
culation of air at a moderate tempera-
ture After the corn is free from an
excessive amount of moisture, the low
temperatures do not affect the germ
ination so much, but an effort should
be made throughout the winter to
keep the seed corn at a comparatively
moderate temperature.
