BIG AIRSHIP A SUCCESS.

The biggest airship in the world to-
day, designed and built at LakehurSt,
n. J., by the u. S.. navy, made its mi
tial flight of one hour TO the entire salts
faction of all. This is the ZR l, which
was started early in 1922 and built at a
cost of 81, 500, 900. 1t is slightly smaller
than the ZR 2 which was built in England
and sank in the river Humber while on
a trial trip.
watch the leviathan of the air make its
first flight. In the pilot room was Capt
Heinen, formerly pilot for the Zeppelin
plant in Germany, who is credited with
having led several raids over England
during the war. With a crew of IL men
the big ship was dragged out of the han
oar by about 400 sailors; it took the air
easily under the power of its six giant
motors and scared away at a speed Of
20 miles an hour. The ship flew just
one hour. at an attitude of from 1000
TO 200 feet, an then returned and
landed as smoothly as it had made the
ascent.
Officers and crew pronounced the big
ship more wonderful than they had
hoped for, and Admiral Moffett, chief
of aeronautics exclaimed enthuslastlcal'
" that this success of America today
will cause tools to be picked up again
in hangers all over the world. he said
the Fri would be used continuously,
and that plans for a trip across the north
mole would be speeded up. All agreed
that "a new day has dawned in the
world of a%eronautics.

BUT MUST WEI

That $22 ,000, 100000 (22 billion dol
lars) were spent last year for paint
powder, cosmetics, gum and candy in
the United States, was the statement
|of q. s. Commissioner of Education
John G. Tigert in q talk at the State
College of Washington recently, in
which he quoted statistics he had
gathered to show that the propaganda
against taxation for educational pur-
poses was unwarranted and all super
fetal thinking.
fsLast year the United States spent
one billion fifty million dollars for
education; less than one-seventieth of
the national wealth. But last year we
also spent $S00,000,0o0 (eight hundred
for factory made cigarettes
that does not count those
smoked by those who roll their
stockingsi'' said Mr.. Tigert. For
the women are getting their share or
the tobacco now, and in many places
in the east, more than their share. For
cigars we spent last year $5IO,0O0,O0O;
add to this all the tobacco used in
pipes and otherwise and you have
vast sum.

m1sF1r ADMINISTRATION.

Recognition of the conditions mn
der which the producers of foodstuff'
have been laboring has been shown il
many ways the past few years. Mucl
has been done by legislation to assist
in every possible way to make the LOT
of the American farmer better. Some
of the devices have been of help; othr
ers might be so, but are not--at least
to the extent they should be.
One of the greatest causes of agri-
cultural complaint has arisen over the
matter Of farm loans and mortgages.
High interest rates, bonuses and col
lection of interest in advance and 9th
er practices often made the actual in
terest rate double and treble the legal
one. The federal farm loan banks and
system were formed TO assist in secur-
ing to the basic industry loans at
rates that the industry can pay and
enable people to stay in the business.
1t has been and still is doing very
great deal toward helping farmers to
get loans at reasonable rates-either
directly or indirectly.
But its good work is suffering a
relapse in this region. Chairwarmers,
special agents and other incompetents
seem to absorb all the authority in the
running of these banks themselves,
and the lot of borrower who has not
been able to meet his payments
promptly is made miserable by a
steady stream of threats none of
which are carried out--but which are
decidedly trying to person already
straining every nerve to keep his head
above water in the face of war prices
for what he buys and pre-war prices
for what he sells
The Spokane branch of the land
bank system has a particularly pestif-
erous example of special agent in the
the person of one Mcneil, whose par
ticulnr and special efforts are center
ed on HARVESTING borrowers and spend
ing money on threatening kilograms
and letters, none of which threats are
completed, but all of which cost money
to make. 1t would seem the directors
Of the regional bank would take ac
ton to suppress this nuisance. One
of this chairwarmer final threats Is
to refer delinquent borrowers ac-
counts to the legal department.. One
association of the Lewiston country
happens to have an account or two
that was referred to the legal depart
ment over year ago, but to date no
action has been taken
Another complaint made is that
the local associations of the region
are no longer being paid dividends on
the capital stock they own. Some or
ficers IF Nez Perez county associa-
ton believe the only reason this con
dition has come about is because of
the increase in operating expense, due
