HOW SHIPS GET LATE MAIL
Airpianes Used to overtake Liners and
Drop Bags While the Vessel Is
Travelling.
EgMaM

Experiments have proved 1t entirely
practicable to deliver Uelated transat-
lantic mail steamers at sea by air.
planes.
The ship may have taken its depar-
ture several hours previously, yet the
flying machine, with a speed Of 100
miles or more an hour, can easily catch
up with II and put the mail aboard.
A plane of the "tlying boat type is
used for this purpose, and the water
proof mail bag is held in chute on
the side Of the hull. The aviator flies
over the ship and the rigging en-
tangles a long line dropped from the
plane that has grapple tails on It's end.
This line is attached to the mail bag,
which, when the grapple tails catch,
is jerked out Of its chute, falling into
the sea.
It is then an easy matter TO haul
the mail bag aboard, while the steamer
continues its uninterrupted voyage.

he has made as chief executive of

What he has done as Governor of

a man of vision who is not vision

KENTUCKY AUGUST
CROP REPORT

Considerable increases in the es-
Inmates of production of corn, oats
and potatoes in Kentucky, compared
to July estimates, a slight increase
in the estimate of the wheat crop in
Kentucky, and a slight decrease in
the States tobacco prospects, are
the features Of the monthly crop re-
port issued today at Louisville and
Frankfort by the q. s. Bureau Of
Crop Estimates in cooperation with
State Commissioner Of Agriculture,
w C.. Hanna. Tobacco shows q
slight reduction from July estimates
because of rather poor condition in
some sections, but as there is big
acreage in the hurley belt which
partly makes up for the reduced ac-
reage in Western Kentucky and both
sections can yet make full normal
yield if given favorable weather, the
estimate of tobacco production is
not greatly reduced. The United
States total tobacco crop is consid-
erably larger than last year.
Probable corn production in Ken
lucky is estimated at 96,941.OOO

mate of 86,170,O00 and a crop last

 Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, who devotes most of his time in Congress to championing the cause of the farmers and does it very ably, is re- ported to have declared the Republican party must give considerable attention to the needs of the if 1t expects to be kept in power at the next Con- gressonal elections. Senator Capper chooses a rather unhappy way of expressing the matter for he makes 1t appear matter of votes whereas it should be noh ing of the kind. If the Republican party approaches the problem of farm legislation with such motive 1t can be written right that the legislation which results will be of questionable value Laws that are written to capture the votes of class usually fringe on the rights of other classes.
 The farmers have a long legislative program ready to present but there is indication that they are pairing to attempt to win favorable consideration by threatening Congress with their ballots On the other hand the farmers organizations sparing no efforts to prepare their case that it will be understood by Congress and the public and the justice of their re- quests recognized
 There is no doubt that considerable farm legisla- tion Is needed. Nor is there any doubt that a great deal Of attention will be given the subject by the next congress But it should not be pure class legis- lation and that is what is apt if the motive is votes rather than justice and common sense
