cool places. One nest is in a pile
of lumber and one in a c1ump Of
hollyhocks in their rye patch. That

is a rank growth of lespedeza in

JUST ABOUT POULTRY

Already I am getting letters about
sorehead among the chicks. There is
nothing more disgusting than to
have to work with that disease. Some
OF the doctors call it a form of roup,
some think it is dew-poison, and
some are now convinced that it is
the same as smallpox with the hui
man family. Several of the states
nave begun to use system similar
to 1noculating people and hogs, but
when virus is used on the fowls as a
preventive it is only good for that
season, and we are not advised to
use 1t until a case has actually ap-
appeared in the flock. I have writ
ten to our Alabama Agricultural
Station and if they keep the virus I
want to try it if a case comes to my
flock. In the meantime I am keep
ing things clean and giving salts
and sulphur every week. I mixed
half a pound of sulphur in a quart
or dry meal, and then pour in as
much water as shall use for the en-
tire mash. I have thirty hens. and
husky youngsters enough to make
about hundred in the flock. Sui
phur is hard to use in water, but if
you put the dry meal in your bucket
then thoroughly mix the sulphur in
1t, then 1 add a gallon of water and
the meal and sulphur stays mixed. T
then add shorts and white bran till
it is crumbly mass. You need not
try to be dainty about it, a spoon
Will not get it right, my hand and
arm up to my elbow, goes in it. Once
week, the salts, once a week the
sulphur. Keep your flock away from
your neighbours, for it is CONTAGIOUS.
Some think that the sparrows spread

tiers.
Many people have their favorite
remedies. First, I dip their heads
IN a tumbler Of water made a deeD
VINE color with permanganate of
potash. That's when the comb looks
100 red, or some of the pimples are
showing, isolate the infected birds.
AFTER the sores come I grease with
carbolated vaseline and give them
some to swallow. I get the druggist

tablespoonful of carbolic acid and
apply to the affected parts. When

Stories of the Civil War
A great many readers of the Coun-

satisfaction they receive when they
get their copies of The Tri-Weekly
Journal at their homes, and I am
more than glad to tell them Of my
experiences during the Civil war,
when they come to the surface of
my memory. When one has passed
the meridian of life, they do not re.
member names, or the locations of
happenings SO well as in younger
days. But I have had q wonderful
memory for just a. plain woman,

time in the country, and am now

they are lasting just the same.

BY MARGUERITE MOOERS MAR
.'.' SHALL

NEW YORK.-Not every aviator
does with his wings on!
That is something which those in.
terested in the future Of flying must
remember, even in the shadow OF
such tragic disaster as the death
of Sir Ross Macpherson Smith, the
British aecial veteran who flew from
England to Australia and from Cairo
to Calcutta, but whose machine took
a fatal nose dive just the other day
when he. was testing it preparatory
to starting round-the-world flight
It is natural that Sir Ross fate
should recall similarly sensational
accidents in which persisted, among
others, Harry Hawker, Capt. Sir
John Alcock, Laura Cromwell, Har.
riet Quimby, Locklear, Beachey
tombstone, Hoxey and others.
Yet there is more cheerful aspect
to the situation. Entering the flying
game is not, the records show, equiv
alent to signing ones death warrant
Not a few of the flyers Of yester
year are still very much alive and
on their respective jobs. After fly
ing safely for years, they have re-
tired with their wings on and still
unbroken, with life and limb intact.
They are devoting themselves to con.
structive work in aviation, or to
other occupations. It is estimated
that, including men trained as army
flyers, there are several thousand
such aviators in the United States.
Below follow the names Of a few
Of the more noted ones.
Curtis, An Old-Timer
Especially we'll known in New
York, among birdmen who may be
expected to live to a green old age
is Glenn H. Curtiss. He started fly
ing on July 4, 1908, and his first
passenger was d'AnnunZio-who him
self flew through most Of the war
and yet lived to set Fiume by the
ears and resume his artistic career
as poet and playwright. Mr.. Cur
tiss won many aerial races and tour
ed Europe. Since he left the seat Of
his plane he has been solving prob
lens in design and engineering for
his aeroplane company: He, still
hopes to find time one Of these days
to take up flying again as a sport!
Glenn l.. Martin started building
gliders in 1907 and taught himself
to fly in 1908. He established one
of the first airplane factories in the
United States the next year. He
holds pilot certificate No. 2 Of the
Aero Club Of America; No. is held
by Glenn Curtiss. Mr.. Martin is
well known for. his Martin bombers,
which functioned effectively, during
the war, and he is still at work on
new models. $500 - -
Orville Wright, who with his
brother; Wilbur, invented the first
airplane to fly, was the first person
in the world to operate a-mechanical.

an old master Of aviation, having
flown as far back as 1899, yet he is
still very much on the map, doing
aeronautical research work and act.
ing as consulting engineer for the
company that bears his name.
Clifford B. Harmon is another old
timer. He made balloon ascensions
for twenty years. He first few in
1909. He is now engaged in the real
estate business. Speaking OF retired

Waycross Invited to Send
Man on European Trim

WAYCROSS, Ga, June 27.-Way-
cross has been selected as one of the
few cities in Georgia to send a rep.
resentative to the Southern CONNER
-cial congress, headquarters in Wash
ington, D. c., on mission to. the
principal cities of Europe. The pur-
pose of the commission is to investi.
gate conditions in these, places as
they would apply to the develop
ment of foreign trade with Europe.
Tile appointment Of a commissioner
from the local organizations prob
ably will be undertaken at once.

balloonists, another is Augustus Post
now secretary of the Aero Club OF
America.
Beckwith Ravens safely survived
almost ten years in the air. He was
one of Glenn Curtiss exhibition, pi
lots in 1911-1912 and did not retire
from the flying game till 1920. He
is now in the airship manufacturing
business.
Many men who have made air rec
ords are still alive to tell the tale.
Rudolph w. Schroeder, holder of the
worlds altitude record. has resigned
from the army and is making aero
nautical equipment.
Roland Rohlfs, who also once held
this record, is in the motor car bust
ness. Henry Farman, who won many
records, some Of them dating back to
1908, now heads his own company
and Caproni, the Italian inventor,
has made. flying history.
One must have lived through
many flying hours and braved many
flying perils to become an "ace." A
|noted American ace during the World
war was Jacques Swabb, Of this city.
He Is officially credited with ten air.
plane victories, yet has survived to
become the president of a big cigar
company. Former President La.
Guardia Of the board of aldermen
first flew at Mineola, L. l., in Sep.
TENDER, 1915. He was commander
of American bombing squadrons on
the Italian front. Charles De Forest
Chandler, now a retired colonel, u.
S. A., first went itno the air as a bal
loon pilot in 1906 and piloted his first
airplane in 1912. -
Two retired aviators in New
York are James C'Bud') Mars, first
balloonist and then exhibition avia-
tor for ten years, now in the real
estate business, and Charles F. Will
lard, who flew as early as 1909 for
the entertainment of the public and
is now a consulting aeronautical en-.
gineer.
Edison F. Gallaudet, formerly on
the teaching staff Of Yale, resigned
and became a pilot with the Wright
brothers in 1911. He is now chair
man Of the board of directors Of his
own corporation and has designed
many types of planes for the army
and navy
Hiram Maxim, the inventor, was
an aviator IN 1J1l. ana IS now preS1-
dent Of his own manufacturing com.
pany.
One way Of estimating the pro-
portion of flying fatalities to flyers
is found in the following figures for
American aviation during 1921. It
has been estimated that last year:
Approximately 1000 civilian aero
planes were in operation in the
United States.
These planes flew 100000 miles
and carried 100000 persons. .
Forty-nine persons have been
killed and eighty-nine injured in a
total of la accidents.
1t seems to be generally estab-
lished that the most and worst Of
aviation fatalities during the past
twenty years have resulted from ex-
hibition or "stunt" flying. Certain
aviation enthusiasts even go SO far
as to maintain that mechanical fail
ure in the airplane of today is as
rare as it is in locomotives, automo-
biles and steamships.
Until men lose their skill and dar-
ing the conquest of the air must go
on. And thought the victory be at
tended by casualties, it is encourag-
ing to remember that not every flyer
loses when he dices with death.

Salmon and Trout Don't

RANGELEY LAKES.-Don't let

tho satisfactory part of catching
ones shirt with fish-hook is that
the shirt will always stay hooked.

Today the fish wouldn't even bite.
1t was too much like snatching a
lollypop from a baby. Having been
fed all week by our amateur anglers.
they were naturally fed up. The
salmon jumped above the water line
to give us salmoniaca1 laugh, but
as for taking our bait, F. O. B. the

dump caviar and radishes. into the
lake to jog up their appetites, and
unless they swallow our bait after

were going to catch is the accom-

The main trouble with all these
modern fish is that they don't
Ftletcherize. Instead of taking q
healthy side order of worms and
muncbing them steadily, the salmon
and trout that abound in Maine have
rotten habit of just taking a bite
and then scooting away quickly.
Later ON they come back for a few
more bites until all the angles of
the worm are consumed. Something
ought to be done about this. The
state passes laws protecting it's fish.
but not a single bill has slipped
through the legislature prescribing
the Fletcher process for fish. The
result is that practically all of them

running their digestions. And it
isn't a very good advertisement for
Maine that all it's lakes have dys-
peDtic fish. A thing like that will
ruin states reputation in time and
pretty soon all that Maine will be
noted for is its pine trees and it's
prohibition. You can't avoid the
pine trees no matter where you go.
1t seems to be humanity impossi-
BILE to do anything for local fish.

them out of the water and what they
