COAST TO COAST
 MAIL 5 HOURS
Special Air Mail Mill Start
 on July 1

Washington, May 5.-Daily air mail service between New York and San Francisco, with deliveries within S5 hours, or from one morning to the following evening, will begin July l. 1t { was announced today by Postmaster General New. The time of transit will be cut to 24 hours probably within a few months, the postmaster general believes.
 Expclites Mail Service Not only will people of the two coasts benefit by the rapid deliver ies, but those of the country gener- ally will enabled to transmit their l letters more swiftly, as special air mail stamps will carry them from any city for transmission from coast to coast or to intermediate cities for further dispatch by train. Letters be- tween New York and San Francisco now require S7 hours by train. The new service will cut that time down by three-fifths.
 Air Mail Postage
 Special air mail postage has been arranged and special stamps in three denominations. Scent. 16-cent. and 24-cent. will be distributed to all the principal cities of the country for use in specially designated letters to go by plane. Three zones have been desig- mated for postage purposes. one be- tween New, York and Chicago, an- other between Chicago and Cheyene, and the third between Cheyene and San Francisco. An Scent air mail stamp will carry an ounce letter any where in one zone, 16-cent stamp anywhere within two adjoining zones. and a 24-cent stamp anywhere with in the three zones.
 All Glasses By Air
 Letters from points not on the air mail route, if bearing proper air mail stamps, will be transmitted to the nearest air mall field for dispatch without additional postage. Any class of mall, including parcel post pack ages, may be sent by air mall but only at regular air mail rates. Special air mail letters boxes are being installed in the larger cities along the route to expedite handling such mail.
 Eleven planes will be required for the single trip each way. New planes, with slower landing speeds, deemed necessary for night flying. have been advertised for, and bids will be opened June 10.
 1000 Mile Night Trip
 The mail planes will fly by night over a thousand miles of lighted air way between Chicago and Cheyenne, the pilots being guided by automatic ecetylene lights placed every three miles. Every 25 miles of the night air lane has an emergency landing field provided with powerful searchlights, and at about every 250 miles there is regular landing field with search- lights visible for from 100 to 15o miles when flashed in the air. The existing daylight coast-to-coast air mall which has been in operation six years and which has been merely an advancing service to speed up letter mail, will be merged with the new service. After July 1. no mail will be carried on planes except that bearing special air mail postage stamps.

DRINKERS WARNED OF
POISONED MOLASSES
SYRUP MIXED WITH CALCIUM
ARSENATE IS STOLEN BY
SHINE MANUFACTURERS.

AS a friend of humanity the Com
MERGE News urges all people under all
conditions to absolutely abstain from
strong drink, but, says that north
Georgia newspaper, I'VE have special
reason just now to give warning to
all who have the habit of taking a
drink OF the stuff dished out these
DAYS and it is this At Lula a few
nights ago some person broke into a
warehouse owned by Mr.. Dank Carter
and stole 40 gallons OF molasses to
be used in making liquor Mr. Carter
had this left over when he finished
poisoning his cotton this summer
This syrup was mixed with calcium
of arsehate and this syrup and arsen-
ate will now be converted into whisky.
The probability is that one drink of
this connection will kill every person
who takes it. There Is an open grave
some day for some person-maybe
for dozens OF persons who are so un-
fortunate as to take a drink OF liquor
made from this syrup and poison. 1t
may be sold at an early date and it
may be weeks yet before this poison
lis offered for sale. The only sane
thing to do is to draw the line on all
liquor offered for sale in this section,
for it is impossible for anyone to
know when he drinks liquor made
from this poisonous connection"

MANY LAND OWNERS
MARRIED THEIR FARMS
UNITED STATES GOOD HUNT
ING GROUND FOR SUITORS
HAVING EYE FOR LAND.

If you want to marry a farm" Iowa
offers splendid opportunities. In five
OF the north-central states, including
Iowa, an average of 8.4 per cent OF
the farm owners have acquired their
lands by matrimony, according to the
Sears Roebuck agriculture foundation,
based on a survey made by the United
States department of agriculture.
Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois and Min
nesota are the other four States in the
farm by marriage" group that should
prove good hunting grounds for the
land-eyed sutton. In these four states
"a per cent of the land holders mar
ried farm. More than per cent of
the plainsmen of Texas acquire their
lands by marriage, while in Kentucky
and Tennessee OF the 845 farmers in
terviewed SO had taken farm along
with wife
For the United States as whole
70 per cent of the farm acreage was
acquired by the owners by purchase,
1873 per cent by inheritance, 3.3 per
cent by marriage and "a per cent in
other ways, principally by homestead
ing. These percentages vary according
to location and the type OF farming.

HASTE OF GROWER
CUTS COTTON PRICE
"HAMMERING DOWN" DONE
BY FARMER HIMSELF WHO
INSISTS ON CASH NOW.

ATLANTA, Ga.-With increasing
frequency one sees these days the
contention that certain Interests are
taking advantage OF this or that cir
cumstance to hammer down the
price of cotton.
But producers and everybody else
should remember, according TO cotton
men: The only real demand for cot
ton comes from the manufacturers
the cotton mills. When the mills have
enough to supply their current needs
there is no one else to buy cotton eX-
cept those who believe they can make
profit by getting it and keeping it
until the mills again need it.
Such people, it was pointed out, are
not in business merely to take the
cotton off the farmers hands and give
him the cash for it. If they can't
make a profit out of the transaction
there is no other incentive for them
to buy. Naturally they seek to buy at
the lowest possible price. This is
merely good business. There's no
reason to get mad about it.
If the farmers insist on selling the
entire crop as soon as it is ginned,
cotton men say, they may expect to
pay somebody a good round sum for
advancing them the cash and carrying
the cotton until the mills want it.
They can't expect, it was asserted, to
receive today the price the mills may
be willing to pay for cotton next
March.
Future Price Speculative.
Though all statistics clearly indicate,
according to cotton men, that cotton
should be worth more than the market
offers. it is to be remembered that this
is really speculative-that is, it does
not come into existence until the cot
ton mill is ready and willing to pay
that price for it.
And cotton ginned today may not
be spun until next July. And in the
interim somebody must be paid for
the interest on the money tied up in
it the storage and the insurance
charges and, most important of all, for
the risk that the cotton, when it is
finally sold to a mill, may not bring
the price that one expects it to bring.
The ''hammering down" therefore. it
was asserted, is really done by the
farmer himself, who insists upon hav-
ing his cash now

POLITICAL SUM MARY
OF WESTERN STATES
DAVID LAWRENCE, AFTER A
TOUR, SAYS LAFOLLETTE
NOT DECISIVE FACTOR.

David Lawrence, the well-knoWn
political writer whose articles appear
in many of the most prominent daily
newspapers, including the Atlanta
Journal and the Savannah News, has
lust completed a tour OF the west,
and in an interesting summary OF the
political situation in those states says:
Crossing the political divide from
the agricultural west to the industrial
east. with three weeks of the campaign
still ahead, the territory left behind
may yet show some changes here and
there, but, fundamentally, the lines OF
battle are drawn, and the tide OF pref
udice or favor, as the case may be, has
set in.
-Four conclusions, however, can be
drawn at this time without much
doubt on the part of the writer that
subsequent developments in the west
area will upset his analysis.
First, Senator Robert M. LaFol-
lette has not been and will not be the
decisive factor in the coming election
so far as the west is concerned:
Second, the electoral vote OF La
Toilette will be less than that OF Col.
Roosevelt in 1912 when he polled 80
electoral votes.
'Third, in several states LaFollette
has taken away so many democratic
votes that he is in effect the ally OF
President Coolidge, because Coolidge
nluralities seem certain to result from
the big detection OF democrats to the
third party ticket. :,
Fourth, LaFollette will not get
enough votes to throw the election in
70 the house of representatives unless
Iohn w. Davis shows greater
strength than President Coolidge IN
the principal eastern states"

ENGLAND WOULD
PUT MOON TO WORK
STUDYING PLANS FOR GIGAN-
TIC POWER PROJECT TO
MAKE USE OF TIDES.

Great Britain proposes to put the
moon to work by taking advantage of
the tidal movements to impound water
for power purposes. The government
already has appropriated half a mil
lioin dollars for the study of the prof.
ect which is said to be the biggest
ever contemplated in the history OF
the world
The plan calls for the building of
three power plants and number OF
canals and dams. The whole plan is
based on the fact that the tides move
up the Severn river twice day. In
cidentaly attraction of the moon is
held by scientists to be responsible for
the movement of tides. That is how
England plans to put the moon to
work
Would Supply Much Power.
The rough plan is this: While the
tide is "in" its water power would
run one plant generating electricity
Another plant would pump some OF
the tide water into a reserve reservoir,
where it would be held. When the
tide was "out" the water in the reser-
vor would operate third plant. Ca
nails and dams would hold the water
and carry it from plant to plant
The project would supply power
within a radius of 80 miles of the
mouth of the Severn and beside would
keep London and several other large
cities supplied with light, heat, and
power. The project is expected to cost
several hundred million dollars.

SETS NEW RECORD IN
FLIGHT ACROSS OCEAN

AVERAGE SPEED OF o2.35
MILES PER HOUR.

SiAP AOS vi AOAS jun MY
LAKEHURST, N. 1.-THE IRIS
slumbered tonight, safely Graded in
the Lakehurst airdome after men,
orable flight across the ocean.
Her German crew slumbered also
and her four American passengers.
The dirigible, which had set new
record for sustained flight, appeared
none the worse for the effort. She
swayed crooningly to and fro to the
tune of soft creaking tackle. Her lum-
nous sides shimmered under the
beams of a moon that penetrated her
glass domed hangar
But the humans whom she had car
ried so far sheltered beneath her pro-
tecting bulk-they were red-eyed and
weary They had travelled 5000 miles
under hazardous circumstances, and
they had done it in a single continu-
Gus flight of 81 hours and II minutes.
This was the official record as COM
puted by Dr. Hugo Eckener, COM
mander of the dirigible and president
of the Zeppelin interests, and by
Commander J. H. Klein, jr., of Lake
hurst field, who made the trans
oceanic flight
The ships log recorded that she
left Friedrichshafen, Germany, at OBS
a. M, on Sunday, Oct II, the time
being one hour east of Greenwich She
touched earth here at 9:52 a. m, east
'ern standard time today.
Travelled 5000 Miles.
DR.. Eckener was authority for the
statement that the mileage was 5000
miles
Thus the average speed of the IRIS
for the whole distance was approx
mately OBS miles per hour. The ap-
proximate average OF the British R-34
during her westward fight OF $500
miles across the Atlantic in l08 hours,
made in 1919, was 1908 miles an hour.
AS Z further indication OF the
strides lighter han-air aeronautics
have taken during those five years,
the fuel tanks of the ZR-3 were one
quarter full when she berthed. They
held TX tons, enough according to
Lieut.. Commander S. M. Krauss, to
have carried her 1900 knots farther
or a goodly part OF the distance to the
Pacific coast
When the R-34 reached her destina-
ton at Mineola, Long Island, from
East Fortune, Scotland, her fuel tanks
held barely a half hours supply. For
her to have proceeded further would
have been to court disaster.
Each Passenger Has a Story.
Each of the thirty-two passengers
on the IRIS had his story to tell
when he disembarked within the Lake
hurst hangar today. But the most
complete OF them all were told by the
diary-log of Capt. George w. Steele,
prospective commander OF the dirigl-
Bile.
