 Brough, Eng, Juiy sa, - Seasons come and so rather rapidly with the American world feTs eho are working hard in the hangaTs here preparing their three planes for the trans, Atlantic flight, Since soaring away from California in March they have experienced several alterations Of spring and summer as the temperate zones know them, and, in addition, have stood the Fig0rs of icy Arctic cold and the heat of tho iarrid equatorial sun, NoW-an a pleasant. cool summer day in the east Of Eng, land-they are getting ready to plunge into the freezing climate of the North Atlantic on their hemeward voyage by way of Iceland and Green land,
 While four Of the fying officers busted themselves today converting the machines to seaplanes, Lieuten- ants Harding and ogden went 10 Lon don to buy Arctic flying togs for themselves and their companions Buying clothes only to throw them away in a week or SO has been the somewhat expensive practice tho air mon have been forced to adopt throughout their world -girdling voy- Iago. With every pound of surplus weight counting against the chances of success, 4 has been impossible for them to fly from one season into an- ether without throwing away the clothes they were wearing and buying more suitable ones Of lighter or heav- Ter weight as the case might be.
 On the homeward hop each man is reducing his kit to the very minimum, and one or two of them seem inclined 10 20 so far as to leave their razors behind. They expect to cross the At- lantic without q change Of clothes, as lot of extra suits of heavy Arctic wooons would weigh as much as sew eral gallons of the more necessary gasoline.
 There has been no word received here as to the exact date on which the Washington authorities will have the ships assigned for attendance upon flight ready so that the trip to the Orkneys can be begun. The gen. eral impression seems to be It is un- likely the airmen will take off from the waters Of the Humber before Monday. Tomorrow the planes will be given test flights with their new rontoons.

TEN for submission to congress.
MeXico's agricultural future IS
menaced and crop totals already have
been greatly reduced. 1t was pointed
out during the discussions, because
many villages and individuals who
have been awared lands have been
unable to work them as q result OF
inability to buy machinery and fin
ance themselves until, their first
crops are sold. Thus great districts.
once productive, are now neglected
and abandoned, notably in the state

PROGRESS WIPES
OUT LANDMARK
125 YEARS OLD

Especial to kennebec JournaD
Belfast, Me, Nov. 17.-Once the
handsomest house in Belfast, the old
MacFarland house, in recent years
known by the undignified name Of
"bee-hive" is being RACED and many
of the timbcrs will he sold for re-
building. The grounds will be grad
ed and probably sold, having been
recently purchased of the owner,
Mrs. George W. Davis, by b. o. Nor
ton.
This famous old landmark of more
than 135 years, built in 1909 by Capt.
Ephriam Mcfarland. has long been
pointed out to visitors as having
been occupied by the British under
General Goselin, in 1914, and for
years the print off the hoofs could
be seen on the stairs in the front
hall. where some officer of those
days rode or attempted to ride his
horse to the second floor. On the
window glass also were marks made
by the officers with their diamond
rings.
Captain Mcfarland, the builder of
this old mansion for years ran a
coaster between Belfast and Boston,
carrying a full line and deck load
of cord wood, with as many passen-
gers in her cabin as had the temer-
ity to make the voyage. According
to Crowby, the Belfast historian, "a
passage to Boston in her, with the
privilege of breathing foul air
through the night, sleeping two in n
berth, squeezing and being squeezed,
having enough to eat whenever hum
CRY, and an e-opener" every
morning before breakfast, cost $500.
Taking into consideration all the
privileges and Injuries enumerated,
was it not cheap enough" His YES
sells bore the names of The Venus.
The Superb and the SlOop Ranger.
Capt MacFarland was a lieutenant
in the Artillery Company command
ed by Capt. Thomas Cunningham.
Near his residence, where the Star
rett house stands, was the gun

years and five months. Mr.. Morse
was one Of the best known and most
highly respected citizens of Waldo

the members of Thomas II. Marshall
Post and allied societies, in the
Waldo County Veterans association
and other organizations to which he
belonged. he always had something
OF interest to say when called upon
and numbered among them many
firm friends. As a citizen, comrade
and neighbor he was always ready Ia
lend a helping hand and speak a good
word. His genial greeting, his cor
dial handshake, his ever ready word
OF encouragement was never with
held and many will mourn the pass
ing OF a good friend.
