its position.
When we told Holloway about
our plan of hunting wild goats
from the air he was keen to go
with us. Let me pilot your
plane" he said, 'and then We can
have two gunners." An hour later
we started. We fitted a couple Of
salt sacks over the receivers of the
two Winchesters to keep the eject
ed cartridges from flying into the
propeller. Then with Holloway at
the wheel we tore out of the cove.
We climbed steadily upward until
we got to an elevation of $500 feet.
This was high enough to take us
500 feet over the highest peaks of
the island. Then we began scan
ming the landscape for goats. We
had gone inland scarcely three
miles when we espied a herd of
goats on top of mountain peak a
thousand feet below. 1t was agreed
that / should make the first try as

the nose of the seaplane. By
stretching out full length | could
hook my toes over the cowl of tha
cockpit, and could bring my shoul-
| ders under two guy wires extend
ing from the upper wings to the
nose of the seaplane. In this posi-
tion my head and shoulders were
protruding out into space and there
was nothing in front of me to in
terfere with shooting. Johnston
strapped my feet to a strut to
avoid any possibility of my slip
ping off, and Holloway sent the
plane earthward in a nosedive---I
was going down head first. With
my head and shoulders out over
the end of the plane 1t seemed as
If l was riding through space ON

and diving down at the goats like
an eagle sweeping upon a quarry.
Up came the landscape and tho
goats with a dizzy rush To all ap-
pearances we were going to crash
against the mountain top, but with
Holloway driving, and knowing
that he had several Boche air
planes to his credit during his serv-
ice in France, l knew he would

How Is This for Shooting?
The goats at seeing that gian.
! hawklike enemy swooping down
upon them seemed to lose every
vestige of reason. Some of them
dived headlong down the mountain
Others ran around and around in
circles, not knowing which way to
run, and still others plunged into
the underbrush or covered among
the rocks for all the world like
barnyard fowl when vaErant

we began the nose dive until we

Melons and Fruit
 Volume Is Larger


 Chicago. June 7.-Watermelons are coming to city markets in far grester' plenty this season than was the case a year ago. According to a review which the United States bureau of markets issued today for the week ending June 5. the big supply is due partly to the increased acreage planted and partly to the fact the 1922 season is further advanced. ship ments so far have totalled nearly three times as n,any carloads as in the corresponding period last year. The market was so liberaliy sup- piled that prices receded sl50std S2oJ per car.
 Canteloupes and tomatoes as weft as watermelons moved in higher volume, whereas shipments of strawberries, onions, lettuce and pol tatoes were lighter, as compared with the preceding week. It Is esti- mated that Mississippi alone will send 2,5o0 to 5000 carloads of to- matoes to market this season.
 Peach shipments for the season toi date are but little more than half last years total for the same time.
