 Beginning Of Combat Service.
 Colonel Chandler, a quiet, unas- suming man, is far from the type one would expect to inaugurate the air plane as a combat machine. He ap- pears more the successful business man with his merry blue eyes and sandy hair, rather than the father of one of the most deadly branches of the army. But to him goes the honor of being the first man to fire machine gun from an airplane. In June, 1912, the colonel, then a captain, inaugurated the airplane as a combat arm of the service. It had previously been thought of merely in connection with scouting and ob- seryation purposes. But it was not until the World war that the air. plane was finally recognized as one of the most efficient branches of the service.

UnusuaI Exhibits At The National
Dairy Show.

Butter made among the Green hills of
Ireland. condensed milk made in Japan,
sacred cattle from India, life-size bust
of Governor Smith. of New York, modelled
entirely from New York State butter, and
innumerable other features of interest to
dairymen will be shown at the National
Dairy Exposition on the State Fair Grounds
at Syracuse, N. Y, October 5-13, County
Agent W. c. Snarr has announced.
These displays showing the products of
the dairy industry in other countries and
other States will add color and interest to
the main part of the show, which promises
to be of unusal interest to everyone con-
nected in any way with the dairy industry.
Methods of increasing production and cut
ting down expenses demonstrated at the
exposition will be worth thousands of dol
lars to practical dairy farmers. he said.
A large number of residents of the coun-
ty have signified their intention of visit
ing the show, according to Mr.. Snarr.
Because Of the unusual opportunity-it
is the first time the exposition has been
held in the East since 1916-he believes
every farmer interested in dairying should
make every effort to visit the show. The
ideas brought back to the farm will be
worth much more than the cost of the trip,
Mr.. Snarr is confident.
He has received full information con-,
corning the exposition from the offices in
Syracuse and will be glad to pass it on to
everyone interested.

Miss Nellie AIlnutt.

Sunday. September 2. 1928, at 4:45 P.
NJ, Miss Nellie Allnutt fell into that sleep
which must come upon all.
She was the daughter of the late Benoni
and Emily Dawson Allnutt of "Rockland,"
Montgomery county. Md. She had been
in failing health since the first of the year,
but was not confined to her room till four
weeks before her death.
She leaves six brothers to mourn her
loss, for she was devoted and untirine
sister, aunt and neighbor. which was at
tested by the very large gathering at her
funeral.
She was an ardent woman's club mem
Der, and had recently Joined the D. A. R..
in which she was greatly interested. but
in her last weeks all this was laid aside
and her one theme was her weakness and
insufticiency in self but completeness in
her Savior.
Elder A. j. Garland conducted the funeral
services, reading the 23rd psalm and few
verses of the l4th chapter of John. her
favorites.
She requested six of her nephews VIM.
B.. Russell. Benjamin, Guy. Frederick and
Charles Allnutt-to be her bearers, who
laid her away in Monocacy Cemetery at
Beallsville.
o, Nell it is so hard to give you up,
But may we have your patience to drink Of
the cup.
How firm foundation" was your strength
and support
And in that faith your battle you most
nobly fought.
Your trust, faith and patience through to
the end
Doth to our hearts sweet peace and rest
send.
And o may we. like you. have that faith
at the last,
That Death. may not such a horror our
friends o'ercast.
