ANOTHER BIG ARMY BL|MP IS WRECKED
E10-&S Destroyed at San
 AntoniO-CReW Escapes

San Antonio. Tex, May 24 P-- With the destruction of the non-rigid dirigible TC-10-243 as she attempted to take off from Brooks field here yesterday, the huge hangar built for the ill-fated Italian airship Roma today had record of disaster for virtually every lighter than air craft it ever housed.
 The TC-10-243 tore herself nearly in two and crashed to the ground q mass of wreCkage when a dragging cable caught in q steel runway used to anchor dirigibles. She was start ing for her home hangar at Scott field. Belleville, Ill.,, after partici- pating ill joint air corps-infantry maneuvers here. None of the crew of seven was injured.
 Az the ship passed from the han gar over a long dock. the cable caught in a submerged trackway. The tail of the dirigible was jerked downward with great force and be- fore the two engines could be turned off large section of the silk en- velope was torn away. The rudders also were stripped off and although she was only about 50 feet off the ground. she nosed to earth with sufficient force to break the gon- dola. The crew managed to escape through clouds of silk that fell on them as the envelope defated.
 About 200,000 cubic feet of val uable helium gas was lost, but the engines and instruments were sal vaged with but little damage. The remnants of the envelope were packed for shipment to Scott field. The ship was 200 feet long and 55 feet high. and had d capacity of 2S0,O00 cubic feet of helium..
 Major Harold A. Strauss, in com mand of the TC-l0-245. but not at the helm when the ship crashed, declared a jinx apparently was dog gng his footsteps. Another blimp which he commanded, the e.. in- Hated with hydrogen, exploded five years ago in almost the same place that yesterdays mishap occurred. The helium now used for such ships Is not-inhammable.
 The TC-10-243. commanded by Major Strauss. was damaged re- gently when the crew was forced to deflate 1t in a storm at Loavenworth, kas. This ship was en route to the maneuvers here and the TC-l0-243 was sent to replace it.
 The Brooks field hangar was con- structed at cost of nearly $1,000,- 900 when the United States pur- chased the Roma from Italy. The Roma was demolished in the east before it could be brought here. The ca was the first blimp to be housed in the huge structure. It exploded when it struck door as the crew attempted to remove it.
 While the TC-10-243 cost about s25,0Oo. recovery of the engines and instruments will reduce the loss ma terially. Destruction of the ship was the first mishap incident 10 the ma neuvers for which more than 200 air planes were mobilized and used in all forms of day and night flights.
 Those aboard the blimp were: Ma jor Strauss. Captain kepner, First Lieutenants k. $. Axtater, o. A. An- derson and F.. H. White and Master SerSeants Bishop and Martini.

HELEN WILLS MAY BATTLE SUZANNE
Tennis Stars Will Probably Meet
 in Exhibition for Charity
BY JIMMY POWERS


 New York, May e4-There is a cat-sut phalanx of six racquets bar ring the path of a certain young poker-faced lady athlete from the international sport headlines this spring.
 Referring. of course, to Helen Wills and the worlds singles tennis title.
 There are three American and three foreign stars whom I fear" the 1ashing-eyed Californian told me at Forest Hills just prior to her sailing.
 T have carefully mapped out q campaign along a definite route, /" she said, listing them in the order Of her personal ranking. The American aces are Miss Eliza beth Ryan of California. Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory and Miss Elea- nor Goss of New York. The for eign aces are Mrs. Kathleen Me- Kane Godfree. Miss Joan Fry and Miss Eileen Bennett.
 Would I like to play Suzanne |? We'll, should say so. Why, she's the finest player in the world" and here our little Helen smiled and smashed baseline return that fair. ly sizzled the net top as it whizzed by.
 Incidentally, if anyone thinks Helen Is fat and ungainly. that one has another think coming. She is daintier than ever. faster afoot, and simmer than before her oper- ation last season.
 If you'll promise not to quote me as saying so definitely, I think there is q possibility of my meeting Miss Lenglen this summer. You see. they are considering an exhibition match for charity. MT. Tilden. you know, was permitted to play Mr. Richards in the south for the same cause. It was professional-amateur match"
 Of the list of opponents, Miss Ryan has the best record. They met twice at Seabright tourna- ments and on both occasions Miss Ryan won. Mrs. Mallory, who pre- ceded and succeeded Miss Wills as national champion. had not been able to defeat her for three years, but finally won last season at Rye, N. Y.
 Mrs. Godfree. who holds the Wimbledon championship, has faced Helen four times and won twice. Miss Fry gave her a most difficult battle tho last time they met. Miss Bennett. latest of the newer stars to show great promise, has yet to meet the American girl.
 Helen will not reveal to what de- gree she will alter her game to down her six rivals. Heretofore she has relied on her terrific service and paceful driving.
 T rarely ventured from the baseline to engage in volleying battles," she said, "and. as | re- suit. I had been made the victim on several occasions of clever chopping and angling"
 All in all, Helen looked mighty sweet. Her service is improved. She Is putting more "stuff" on the ball. Her backhand is still the best of any woman player. Her over head is better. due to recent prac- tice. Her powers of anticipation have been developed remarka bly. Almost invariably she is in the right position to handle her op- ponents' returns. She is faster and more eager than ever before and Is five pounds lighter.
 She is especially keen for a re- newal Of her feud with her tradi- tional enemy. Suzanne Lenglen.
 So, for that matter. are all of ua,

NEW SCHOOL A YEAR
 CITY REQUIREMENT
Increase in Population Must Be
 Met, P.R. King Says

New Britain must meet the de- mands of increased school popula- tion by constructing at least one new building every year, President Patrick r. King of the school com mlttee told members of the board of finance and taxation last night when he met them to discuss the need for S20o.0o0 to erect and equip 14 classrooms on the Clinton street tract.
 Plans were shown and specified tions studied. The proposed school will accommodate 400 pupil. It will be so located on the tract that an addition at later date is possible. lnsistent demands for accommoda- tions, in that district coupled with has made the need imperative. Mir. King assured the finance board.
 Superintendent Stanley II. Holmes asked how long the city may con- tinue to use Theodore Roosevelt school as an elementary school. and he replied by saying the need for junior high school accommodation is becoming so great that another year may make the conversion nec- cssary. This will lead to additions at the senior high school.
 Judge William F. Mangan. rep resenting the park board, Secretary Henry T. Burr of the school com mittee and Principal l.. P. Slade of the senior high school came before the board to discuss plans for fi- nancing the erection of bleachers to accommodate $500 persons at Willow Brook park The cost will be s10,00O. of which the park board has sS,00o.
 The board of finance approved plan offered by the New Britain Trust Co. to advance the money on q note to be signed by 100 guaran- tors, repayment to be made an nually out of receipts. It was stated that 25 directors of the bank are willing to sign as guarantors. Ordi- nary receipts will be more than sufficient to meet the accruing notes, Judge Mangan told the board.

IN 'PLAIN TALK" PRACTICAL FARMER
URGES ORGANIZATION AND COOPERATION
DECLARES THESE WILL SOLVE MOST OF PROBLEMS
NOW CONFRONTING TILLERS OF SOIL
SCORNS FARM RELIEF BILLS

among ourselves, other classes of so
ciety step right in and take the land
from US. Those ara facts, gentlemen,
that have existed ever since agricul-
ture existed.
''Now, if you please, know what
yor are going to ask me. 1t is, what
is the solution? There is only one.
Power must be exerted against
power. If individualism has the pow
er to separate US from 20 per cent
of our holdings, then we must tear
down that tremendous power BY
what? BY another power little bit
greater. And that power is he power
of cooperation.
Cooperation Greatest Power
"Co-operation is the greatest power
upon the face of the earth today,
with the exception of electricity; yes,
and will even include electricity.
This campus would never be here to-
day if it had not been for co-Opera-
tion. There would not have been a
brick in this building today had it
not been for the power of co-opera-
tion. Individualism would have torn
to pieces in the beginning the effort
to have built up any institution.
Therefore, it is tearing down agri-
culture every minute it exists. 1t
seems as if we care nothing about
those things. / am reluctant to say
it, but we are in no position to grasp
those things that have been ex-
planned here today about our mar
keting conditions. Why? Because
that power exercised by boards Of
trade regulates prices of our COM
modities, and not the law of supply
and demand. You say this is not so :?
I want to prove it to you.
"In November, 1920, wheat on the
18th day of November dropped 81
cents a bushel. The conditions were
identically the same all over the
world. According to the law of sup
ply and demand there was no reason
why they should change the price
between the date of the 18th and
the date of the 18th, making 21 cents
difference. l raised wheat up here
in the northern part of this country
and I know. / lost that q cents 8
bushel.
''Now, here is another thing: / got
inside information, but / did mo-
take it. 1t cost me dearly by no
taking it.
"Well, / thought that was schem,
to get us people to throw our whea
onto the market, because all of tn
leaders of this country had told u
we were going to get more for on
wheat. It was SLIT then at High
wood, and / did not want to TAX
that. The wheat cost me 81 to raise

Organization and cooperation as q
solution for the problems of present
iay farmers were stressed by I'll. L.
Boyer Of Coffee Creek, Fergus cOun-
ty, a former local farm bureau pres
ident, in a plain talk at a round table
discussion during Farm and Home
week at Montana State college.
Mr.. Boyer is a dirt farmer" of ex-
perience. Equipped as he is with an
ability to express his ideas, he is a
speaker who appeals to the common
sense and business judgment of his
hearers, rather than to their preju-
dices and emotions. Regret was ex-
pressed that only a few farmers were
present to profit by his intelligent
discussion Of agricultural problems.
By courtesy of A. Doornbos of
Manhattan, through whose efforts Mr..
Boyer was brought here to deliver
his plain talk to farmers" The Cour-
ier has a verbatim copy of Mr.. Boy
er's address and prints herewith as
much of it as space available per-
mits.
Mr.. Boyer said in part:
Agricultural Status
Gentlemen, there is no reason for
discussing this question of agricul-
tural conditions; we all know its con-
dition. We know that agriculture is
a sick man. The only thing we have
not been informed is, how has agri-
culture been made sick? From my
point of view, agriculture has been
sick always. Can you find man
/ do.not care how old he is-who can
dispute that question?
"We have never been on par with
other businesses; never in the his
tory of this country, and more es-
pecially since the Civil war. Along
about 100 years ago the farmers
owned about 80 per cent of the land
which was farmed. Up to the Civil
war we gradually lost hold. Since
then we gained on our losses very
rapidly, until up to the present time
we have lost 70 per cent of the lard
we once owned. Think of that, gen.
tlemen. We have taken from the
United States government this raw
land, turned it into prosperous farms
and happy homes, and during that
process we have surrendered to other
classes 70 per cent of it. What il
the reason? What is the cause q
it?
Gentlemen, l want to tell yol
right here the cause for this thins
is individualism. There is no othe,
cause on earth why agriculture toda!
