The benefits derived, from the

fact also test and develop aircraft for

sensus of opinion expressed by aero
nautical experts in the Navy.
In striving to excel in practical re-
suits the Navy has perfected a new
speed plane for scouting purposes. de-
signed around high-powered engine,
for torpedo plane use. Its initial ap-
pearance will be made in the Pulitzer
air race to be held at Detroit October
IA.
Aeronautical experts term the plane
a flying laboratory for the practical
test of the new Wright engine. which
develops from 900 to $50 horsepower.
The engine is designed to be placed
in a new type of torpedo, bombing
and scout plane, which will be in pro-
duction. for the 1923 naval aviation
program.

Some official back in 1901. having in
mind more the value Of thrift than of
integrity made a ruling that no ex-
ira pay would be granted those Ofh-
GERS upon their discharge. That ruling
stuck only for a time, when the mat

equitably adjusted. There are a num-
ber OF officers in the Army today
who recall that adverse ruling, which
was made about the time our first
volunteer troops arrived from the
orient. early in 1901. Those were the
days when the best cigar in the Phil

Drought Threatens Late Growing
Crops.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Drought cOndi-
tions threaten serious damage in many
parts of the United States, according
to the weather and crop review OF the
weather bureau, which reported that
not only were late growing crops ad-
versely affected, but the lack of mois-
ture had slowed fall seeding. Warm
and sunshiny weather characterized
the week in most sections, the review
stated, adding that it had been very
favorable for the maturity of many
grain crops.
Light rains fell along the Pacific
coast and in some sections along the
gulf, the review said, but continued:
drought conditions prevailed in
most other districts and there was in
sufficient moisture for the proper
growth of vegetation. Pastures,
ranges, meadows and late truck crops
were unfavorabIy affected and mois-
ture was needed in many central and
southern states for the termination Of
fall sown seed. The ground was too
dry for plowing and seeding grains in
most sections. The drying weather Of
the last few weeks has practically ma
tured the corn crop in the corn belt,
according to the review. In some of
the late corn sections, however, the
drought conditions have cut the pros
poets to some extent, it is reported"

ELECTRICAL SHOP AND RADIO
Electrical Work Has Big Advan-

One of the strongest arguments pos
Sessed by the electrical store selling
radio supplies is the expert service it
can offer, says Burton Millar, in a

chandising. All sorts and descriptions
of apparatus and parts can be put in
stock by any store in any line of
business and that is exactly what is
being done in every city in the coun-

tinct advantage over the store which
added a radio department to other
lines of merchandise entirely differ
ent in character.
1t is virtually important, however,
that the availability of this expert
service be broadcast to the field it
is desired to reach. Publicity is the
only thing that will do it. The public
must be told. Not once, but repeated
ly, and In every possible way.
1t is not enough to have card in
the display window announcing: "Our
electrical experts will be glad to give
you any information or assistance in
installing or operating your radio out
fit" Or to run an occasional small
ad in the local newspapers. Or to
have a car card in the local street
cars. Or to distribute small folders
through the mails to local list.
All of these methods are gOOd-if
you keep persistently at it! There is
no single quality of advertising so alb
solutely essential as persistence. If
you do not concede this you are SIM
ply ignoring the experience of all sue
ceSsfuI advertisers of all time.
If the radio department Is to be
built up and made a substantial part
of your stere's business it is essential
that the public be told where it can
find this superior service, tested ap-
paratus and expert counsel.

GATHER IN WHEAT
Farmers of Western Canada Re-
iolce at Harvest.
Largest Crop In the History Of thu
Fertile Provinces May Be Con-
sidered Assured.

Reports Of Western Canada's wheat
crop, which may be considered fairly
accurate, as they are made at the
end Of the season, when the crop is
fully harvested, would indicate q
yield of between 85O,OOO,OOO and &c.,
100000 bushels from a total acreage
Of q, Al 900. This Is the greatest
yield In the history of the provinces
Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. This immense yield has only
been harvested through the combined
energies of all public bodies-rail-
ways and governments. It required
the assistance, outside of that locally
employed, Of upward of 10000 men.
These were brought into the country
from the East, the West and the
South, by trainloads, and rushed for
ward at express speed, to be placed in
the different districts, under the direc-
ton Of officials who were kept advised
daily, by wire, Of the needs.
AS q result Of this combined effort
the largest wheat crop in the history
of the West was successfully harvest
ed. The threshing reports show that
almost universally, in every section
Of the country, the grain graded high.
In very few places did rain interfere
with stacking. The province Of Mani
tOba was the first to complete thresh-
ing, very few fields being left at the
time Of writing.
Portions of Saskatchewan that had
suffered from drought for the past
two or three years reaped a crop that
largely made up for past disappoint-
ments.
In Alberta there was a strange con-
dition. In the central district, always
noted for its heavy yields, there was
considerable of a falling off, Instead
of the 35 and 40 bushel yields the
average ran from 10 to u, while in
southern portions, where drought had
affected the country for some time
past, there were exceptionally high
yields.
Reports of individual yields in diff
ferent portions Of the three provinces
lead to the impression that when
threshing returns are in there will be
found to have been a much better crop
than at present seems possible. Some
of these returns give individual farm
ers as getting as high as 40 bushels
others 80, and so on, while In some
districts, where in early August not
more than or 10 bushels might be
looked for, Is and 18 bushels are re-
corded, the improvement having been
| brought about by rains that worked

ried six rows, and filed to the top

least fifty per cent more.
The rye crop of all Western Can
ada is exceptionally good; the oats
generally good and barley fair.
The weather at the time of writing
Is threatening for rainy spell, which
may interfere with threshing, and pro-
long it somewhat
Most Of the newcomers from the
States have excellent crops. During
August, the trains to Western Canada
