FARMERS CURSE
Especial Correspondence

Sterling, May "a number OF
farmers living just south OF
this city and in line with the
route taken by the government
mail planes flying between Chi
cago and Omaha, have another
worry to contend with. The
farmers declare that the pilots
tilt the nose of their planes
downward and just skim over
the heads of the frightened ami
mails and then with a wave of
their hand they again point their
planes skyward and sail away
apparently as tickled as young
ster who has been in mischief.
Many times the horses run away.
Thus far no serious accidents
have occurred but the farmers
are going to ask Uncle Sam to
stop the practice.
Not long ago the farmer had
hard time getting to town, on
account of the automobiles scar
ing their horses. Now they own
their own automobiles and the
horses are used to them, but
the horses or farmers cannot get
used to having the pilots dive
down at them. Some of the
farmers say they expect some
brave pilot will swoop down
some day and swipe their hat.
