AMERICAN AVIATOR
 FLYS. OVER ANDES
Flight by Faucett Most Daring
 Recorded in South America

Lima, Peru. Nov. e1. - What is probably the most daring aviation feat yet recorded in South America is the flight by an American aviator, Elmer J. Faucett, from Lima to the Amazon port of Iquitos. Faucett, who is attached to the staff of the National Aeronautic company, of Peru, left; Lima in Curtiss "Oriole' plane, in an effort to win prize of s5.o00 for the first airplane flight from this capi- tai to Iquitos offered by the Peruvian E congress. Tho first lap of the flight. was to Chiclayo, 400 miles north of Lima. Faucett made this distance in six hours, and landed safely on the arid plains near that city.
 Several weeks were required to get the plane in condition for the second stage of the flight which was par- ticulariy dangerous in the absence of air maps or any other guides. Iquitos is more than, 500 miles from Chicayo in a straight air line, and tho inter- vening country is as wild as can be found in South America This region 
 passes, cascades and rapids until the highest ranges. ofEthc Andes are pass. ed at an elevation of from 5000 to 17,oo0 feet. The Maranon river and it's affuents, which How into the Anna zon, have cut tremendous chasms in the ranges of the Andes, down which swift. turbulent streams flow in their course to the Atlantic. After that come the tropical lands leading up to the Amazon proper, where impenctra- hle jungies and swampy wastes make travel of any lSind difficult.
 It was over such as country that Faucett had to fly when he made his final "hop-off'' from Chiclayo on Oc-' tober 6. Had his motor failed him. no trace ofsayiator or plane would \ probably ever have been discovered. As it was, he was forced to land when only 40 minutes of flying separated him from his goal. A driving rail and thunderstorm forced him down on an islet in the aTfErc river, where his plane became 1mired in the soft sand causing him to break a propeller. passing launch from Iauitos picked him LID and carried the stranded ayia- tor to the isolated Amazon port where he was given tremendous ovation. His flying time from Chiclayo up to1 the moment of the accident was also six hours, <or a total of 12 hours from Lima.

WON'T VISIT CONNECTICUT.
Time Too Short-- Deliver His First Address This Evening

Hartford, Nov. Ex-Governor Lake last night received a letter from France, expressing his regret that his time would not permit him to visit Connecticut during his hurried tour of the United States. The letter was in reply to telegram sent Saturday by the governor inviting the distin- guished visitor to Hartford, which has been host to two other famous Frenchmen, Lafayette and Foch.
 Clemenceau said he regretted the fact that he would be unable to come to Connecticut all the more because this state was formerly his home. He was a teacher in Stamford during the sixties at girls school.

Refreshed Today.

Arising early today, he seemed re- freshed and eager for the coming of evening and the first of the messages he crossed the Atlantic to give to America. Friends have warned him to speak no longer than an hour. but he has given no indication that he intends to follow this injunction. Yes terday it was planned that he should talk only l E minutes at tho gathering of New York editors and publishers. He talked for 5S minutes.
 Speaking without notes, as he will, Clcmenceau may talk for two hours if he finds an interested audience and is able to make himself understood in the great auditorium of the Metropol- itan Opera House.
 Nothing else was planned for the Tiger today He was expected to re- main at the Gibson home resting and working on tonight's address.

detrimental to raising good cattle.
Herds Of fine stock are rapidly in
creasing, and the South, which has
an ideal climate for all-year stock
grazing, should soon be one of the
most important stock raising sec
tions of the country. This means
that the Middle West will have q
serious competition in corn and
stock raising.
s'The third factor to consider
is that the South will steadily in
crease it's manufacture Of cotton
into finished goods. Already it is
shipping large quantities of these
manufactured cotton goods into the
northern states. These southern
mills can produce very economic
ally and are at the source of raw
materials. This means that the
cotton mills of the eastern states
will have serious competition. Ow-
ing to the present immigration
restrictions, htese northern mills
will soon be greatly handicapped

"a fourth factor is that the
southern farmers are employing
less labor on their farms than I'M

them reducing labor one half. The
reason is that the farmers are

hay, and other crops and less acre
age in cotton. These other crops
require less labor to work than
cotton does. Today there is q
very considerable unemployment OF

means that there will be ample

Wellesley Hills, Mass, October
q. 1922.-In view Of the sensa-
t;onal reports relative to condi-
ions in the South, especially due
20 the boll-weevil, Roger w. Bah
son has been asked to make an an
alysis of the Southern situation
Is it now appears from the view
point of statistician. Mr.. Bah
sons statement is as follows:
ain the so-called cotton belt ,
which stretches across mony Of the
Southern states, is produced so per
cent of the worlds supply of cot
ton. In fact, this cotton crop has
been so important that the South
has practically given its entire at
tention to cotton and thus become
q 'one crop country. The boil
weevil is now destroying a large
percentage of this cotton crop, so
that in many sections only one
bale of cotton is gathered where
two were originally produced. Of
course, great efforts are being
made to control the boll-weevil,
and science will ultimately find a
solution to this problem. In the
meantime, however, there are sew
eral factors to be considered.
First, our supply of cotton will
be greatly reduced until this wee
vii is controlled. The amount pro-
duced for the next few years may
not be more than half Of the re-
quirements of former years. This
means that high prices may be
expected for raw cotton and for
all manufactured cotton goods fol
Secondly, the South, which
has been a one crop country, will
be forced to raise other crops and
become at least self supporting. In
previous years the South has inn
ported from the Middle West near
" all the corn and a large proper
ton of the meat which it has con-
sumed. This year the South has
raised sufficient corn for its own
use. 1t is also successfully rid

startling statement, but easily susceptible of
proof.
Every stockholder in bank, every holder of or
beneficiary under life insurance policy, every
er of industrial manufacturing securities, whose
worth is based upon production made possible or in
creased by electric power heat or light furnished
by an electric utility, is financially interested
At the December, 1919, meeting of the Assoca-
ton of Life Insurance Presidents it reported that
there SO, 22l, 457 life insurance policies in force
in this country, representing $685. 100000 out
standing insurance. More than $500, 900 of the
assets of these companies invested in electric
light and power company securities. Upon the sta
blity and worth of those securities-and therefore,
upon the stability and prosperity of the utilities
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the stability and worth of the
insurance companies in the same ratio the amounts
invested in these securities bear to their resources
Therefore every beneficiary under these 1921 ,457
policies every heir to estate which is beneficiary
under of these policies, is interested financially
in the worth of the securities. The holders of the
policies directly interested because the assets and
earnings of the life insurance companies increase or

These are some of the most apparent examples
of personal financial interest in electrical utilities
which should be realized by the millions of people
affected. Unfortunately only too few know of the
facts.
Because of the scarcity of money for investment
purposes and because of the high cost of all commod-
tiles and necessities electric utilities securities are
sympathetically low-prced at present. The upward
trend has been noticeable for the last two or three
months. 1t is certain to be upward trend during
years to come as the costof living gradually drops
and the cost of money gradually decreases.
There never was time when the purchase of
electric light and power utilities securities was so
tempting to the small investor at present Secur-
ties are selling at prices that yield high rates of re-
turn to investorand those rates of return will
tinue during the years intervening before the matur
!ty OF investments made now regardless of how for
back toward pre-war normaty the cost of living may
drop.

READ THE FACTS:

AS owners of stocks or bonds or both, of your
local electric light and power company, or some SIM
iiar company elsewhere you probably feel that only
you and few others who have invested in these
stocks and bonds have direct personal interest in
the welfare and prosperity of the company and the
industry
If SO, you are wrong.
Every citizen of your community has an interest
in the prosperity of the company and Of the industry
generally.
If you also an owner of property in the COM
munity, or if you business or woman, or In
any way directly dependent upon the growth and in
creasng prosperity of your community for your own
growth and prosperity then you more interested
such than you possibly could be only owner
of securities of the utility
AS part owner of the utility, you should under
stand that you and every other citizen of the COM
munty in which the utility is operating at least
partly dependent upon it for the necessities and COM
forts of everyday life for your ability to make liv
ing in the community and for your enjoyment of the
social life of the community.
Also, every citizen with financial interest of
any chara-ter in any community in the country is
owner, directly indirectly, of electric utilities
curities Therefore he is directly interested in the
success stability and development of this industry,
not only in the community in which he lives, but
throughout the country. .
