FOR SIXTY CENTS
The British Government Sells Air
planes at a Very Modest
Figure.

The British government recently
sold a number OF airplanes for co
cents apiece at the Lincoln airdome
disposal sale in London.
The machines had become out Of
date after several years of service
and had been junked, the wings and
the engines being removed. Never
theless, the purchasers who paid 60
cents for an airplane received the
body OF the machine with the copper
fittings and pipes. which in all orig
inally cost several hundred dollars.
The purchasers, for the greater
part. were anxious to buy the planes
to break up for firewood during the
coal shortage. Small boys dragged
their fathers along to buy plane so
that they might get the wheels to use
on scooters and homemade automo-
biles.

When one runs over a list OF the
towns in a state he is struck by the
curious variety of the names, repre-
senting so many different nationali-
ties. political and religious beliefs,
heroes and statesmen and objects.
Missouri has a town named after
an old and popular play, East Lynne,
in Cass county. Probably no humor
was intended in the naming of Kid
der, in Caldwell county. Edinburgh,
in Grundy county. had been named
Bucksnort by the Indians, but when
the citizens of Bucksnort demanded
a postmaster, Uncle Sam replied he
for a town with such an outlandish
name. The citizens held a meeting
and agreed on Edinburgh. after the
| capital of Scotland. Brig. Gen. En-
och NJ Crowder was born there. and
| there are now probably less than
| twenty-five persons in the place.
The towns named after great cities
rarely have lived up TO their name.
| New London. in Rails county. is only
a country village. having been out
stripped by Hannibal on one side and
Louisiana on the other. Philadelphia.
in Marion county, one OF Colone!
Sellers dream cities. is only ham
let, while his New York, in Shelby
county. is now a cornfield. '
Names OF the Wen Known
The Smith family is represented in
two towns. Smithton, Pettis county.
and smithvlle in Clay county. unless
you include Pocahontas-the savior
Of John Smith--for she has town
named for her in Cape Girardeau
county. The Joneses get in on Jones'
burg in Montgomery county. Visions
OF epochal times are suggested by
Napoleon. in Lafayette county. and
Bismarck. in st. Francois county.
while every reader OF today's news is
familiar with names which inspired
